People, believing in free will, live better lives than those, who don't. This (literally) destroys fatalists.

Favorite particle physics textbook?

Mine is Griffiths:

>If you think that's a sound argument, all I can say is you're pretty gullible. In general, whenever a physicist invokes the uncertainty principle keep a hand on your wallet.

What puts you in a position to judge? Sure, believing in god or angels or whatever is stupid, but do you have any reason to be confident that you hold zero stupid stupid beliefs yourself?

He llikely believes in scientism.

No, I didn't. What's in it, that'd contradict my argument?

Graham Greene is essential Catholic reading

Baruch Spinoza (pbuh)'s treatises are the only works you need to fully understand the word of God.

>>15136003
I wouldn’t say likely, more definitively.

>>15136003
To me, this sort of reaction is likely encountering someone who superstitiously tosses salt over his shoulder and responding by prancing up and down and gloating at them. The fact that you feel so recklessly confident that you don't have any unjustifiable or inconsistent beliefs is a strong indication you're not sufficiently rigorous to avoid them.

"The Book of Good Love" by the Archpriest of Hita. A bit old and the context is hilarious, and the advice is not terrible. Its one of the best Medieval Spanish works, too.

>>15135793
I’ve been reading pic related. It’s saying how Nietzsche thought Christ was based and an ubermensch but the Jew, Paul, bastardized Christ’s teaching and turned it into a religion, which is exactly what Christ didn’t want, filled with ruler makers and a slave morality.

Anyone have any books on the original teaching s if Christ and not the mongrelized version of his apostles?

the bible

Piggy-backing on this thread to ask if anybody can point me towards a good layman discussion of the proofs outlined in Feser's "5 proofs for the existence of God"? The only argument I can get my head around is the Aristotelian/rationalist argument from contingency, I'm too mid-wit to understand the others properly.

>and evolutionary biology
You know he's right about this. One of the last holdouts for religitards and non-materialists was how "life" was supposedly inexplicable by material process alone. Turns out it's just DNA.

Nail in the coffin right there. Nothing is outside the reach of science.

>>15141657
It destroys a lot more than just Christianity, but nobody wants to think about it, so they pretend that all attempts to explain human psychology and behavior through evolution are pseudoscience, despite it being in no way different than explaining anything else through evolution.

>>15135793
Chr*stianity and it's proto-form J*daism was utterly refuted by Spinoza (pbuh). Keep seething chr*stcucks
