    Evangelism as a means of authentication: An atheistic view of the psychology behind faith

    Trying to deconstruct a principle of Anglican Christianity doesn't mean I am assuming true part of their religion. I am merely choosing one belief to analyse with logic and reason, two concepts which seem utterly foreign to you. Hard to believe one can call a post arrogant while belittling...

    Evangelism as a means of authentication: An atheistic view of the psychology behind faith

    Again, you have provided no counter points to my discussion. However, I commend you on your attempts to maintain a pretence of eruditeness by name-dropping the Baconian painting and using Freud's name to sound smart. Unfortunately, you have (again) offered zero insight into your comments on...

    The "Good Christian" condemning me to hell for providing disparate viewpoints!!! Thank you.

    Evangelism as a means of authentication: An atheistic view of the psychology behind faith

    So the deluded one is not the guy who believes there is an omnipotent, invisible being watching over you with an empty seat at the table of eternal life for you and your Christian buddies? That was a fairly disappointing defence to your faith though, Kemoslosby. Perhaps logic has stumped your...

    Evangelism as a means of authentication: An atheistic view of the psychology behind faith

    So by living a good life you are role modelling Christianity in the hope others will join you? I have also heard this response (from Glen Davies, the archbishop of the Anglican Diocese in Sydney). However, it seems a bit insufficient to merely hope that people will become Christian from...

    Evangelism as a means of authentication: An atheistic view of the psychology behind faith

    You'd have to clarify what you mean by the 'wasteland'. Also, it seems as though you haven't at all engaged with the actual point of the post but have merely focused on the opening 150 words. Perhaps one could present an alternate viewpoint to the arguments discussed rather than resort to...

    Evangelism as a means of authentication: An atheistic view of the psychology behind faith

    Do I really have to repeat myself? My post is solely addressing the individuals who believe in the dichotomy of heaven and hell for christians and non-christians respectively. Wait I'll say it one more time so you can hopefully understand. My post is solely addressing the individuals who believe...

    Evangelism as a means of authentication: An atheistic view of the psychology behind faith

    Thanks for your reply. My post (as cited) was concerning Anglican Christianity rather than Catholicism. My understanding is that in the Anglican faith, ascent to Heaven is purely dependant on your faith in Christianity, and all non-believers will go to hell. My post addresses those who...

    Evangelism as a means of authentication: An atheistic view of the psychology behind faith

    Humanity has been plagued by an inescapable lack of meaning since its inception. When faced with such overwhelming lack of direction, we have sought to construct understandings of reality to explain and provide purpose to our lives, and as an extension, human existence. Everything we hold...
