  1. [19:01] <CrippleThreatPowerquake> The typical Christian is extremely bad at evaluating evidence.
  2. [19:01] <TrollT> Cripple, as compared to a Buddhist or a Muslim?
  3. [19:01] <CrippleThreatPowerquake> Why? They are members of a cultural system which teaches them everyday to be extremely bad at evaluating evidence.
  4. [19:01] <CrippleThreatPowerquake> I think the average Muslim is worse than the average Christian at evaluating evidence.
  5. [19:01] <DeckrdR> ie looking 'back' in time via telescopes?
  6. [19:01] <DeckrdR> maybe the grain isn't fine enough
  7. [19:01] <CrippleThreatPowerquake> I think the average Buddhist is much, much better than the average Christian at evaluating evidence.
  8. [19:02] <CrippleThreatPowerquake> The root of Christianity is 'I am afraid to die.'
  9. [19:02] <CrippleThreatPowerquake> Unfortunately, we all die and there is no afterlife.
  10. [19:02] <CrippleThreatPowerquake> So, the foundations of Christianity is 'How can I successfully avoid evaluating reality for what it is.'
  11. [19:02] <CrippleThreatPowerquake> Buddhism, on the other hand, begins with 'Hey, you're gonna die and everything is finite. How can you learn to cope with that?'
