Cognitive Dissonance For Jesus

In this video, I discuss a rather interesting conversation I just had online involving one helluva case of cognitive dissonance.

Enjoy.

This was the question: Why do you have such an interest in Christianity?

[SolRosenberg84]

I've covered this quite a few times.

Its the world's largest religion, the most prominent in affecting my life in my country, and is the religion that I personally was indoctrinated into as a child.

I'm not saying Christianity is the worst of the monotheistic desert religions - that particular award is won by Islam.

Why do you have such an interest in Christianity?Being a Christian simply means: A follower of Christ.I will not debate with you as I am a true Christian.I understand that some people that call themselves Christians, may just call themselves a follower of Christ, but they do not follow Christ at all.I will not pretend to be smart,I am a simple women,and simply love the Lord.

>I am a true Christian.

Google "true Scotsman fallacy". Right now.

[mellapla]

Occasionally atheists can be guilty of the fallacy, such as someone hypothetically exclaiming that "true atheists" don't believe in ghosts or UFOs when such disbeliefs actually have nothing to do with an atheistic philosophy (although they can be linked by concepts of observational evidence and rationalism).

[SolRosenberg84]

Supporting any one view of reality does not automatically make one immune to logical fallacy.

I of course do not view myself as a "true" anything, mainly because I understand the fallacy in doing so. You are still the one who made the claim, and in doing so, committed the fallacy.

[iPhap]

Christianity encourages [irrational] scepticism towards the theory of evolution.

Look, I made it work!

[saxmanchiro]

Christians give migrant workers a run for their money when it comes to picking fruit. :)

[GnosisMan50]

realize that our interpretation is not only insufficient but by believing it as gospel truth it dumbs us down from discovering the kinds truths that can truly transform our hearts and minds in ways you could never fathom.

[GnosisMan50]

In a nutshell. it is not religion that is a problem but the interpretation we give it and we have over 50,000 versions. Unfortunately and among so many versions no one realizes that the interpretation we give the bible largely determines what we get out of it and I'd say not much considering the the way we are right now. A true spiritual awakening transcends ALL interpretations ALL categories of thought. So I see no point in arguing. Instead we should....

[Jadee116]

Christians NEVER cherry pick verses?!!!!? Ha ha ha, umm they all do.

...because many Christians have turned the Holy Bible into swiss cheese.

[EdM021]

And now these same people are demonizing gays for Jesus! The websites of the Family Research Council, American Family Association, Focus on the family, Traditional Vaues Coalition, Concerned Women for America, Westboro (ugh) Baptist Church, National Organization for Marriage, etc., etc., will give you an eyeful!

[mellapla]

My hope is that who ever pushed you so far away from God, would be convicted from the Holy Spirt. I am truly sorry that your heart has been so harden. I do not say this to irritate you or to judge or put you down. Please do not be offended. Would you mind if I pray for you?
