Re: Ravi Zacharias
If that's the case, he's doing a really poor job of getting a message across. He dresses up his stories in vagueness up to the point where the story is just an event that happened without any clear message and when he does finally give a concrete conclusion he gives no explanation for it. Not to mention that he jumps to conclusions that are illogical to begin with. When he was talking about shame for example, he makes a lot of assumptions that don't make sense. Feeling shame is not the same as feeling empathy, and when he mentions how a rapist could just use medicine to ignore shame (lol) it doesn't at all mean that the rapist will get away with it or that rational thinking people will all turn into this (which is what he's implying when he says that when we feel no shame we turn into monsters). Even more so, most rapists have psychological issues that go far deeper than simple shame and feeling shame won't be reason enough for them to just magically stop. It's oversimplifying what is actually at play. There are just so many things he's saying that don't make any sense. Too much to address. They're fancy faux-profound stories.Last edited by Nullifidian; 08-12-2013, 05:14 PM.

Re: Ravi Zacharias
"The sacred meaning of marriage, the sacred meaning of sexuality."
Sacred based on what?
"Coherent set of answers to the existential questions that confront all human beings through their passage of life."
Well guys, that coherent set of answers is actually the Bible. That's it. Life answered. I have seen the light. Time to set aside all rational thinking and live my life out using a fairy tale.Last edited by Choofers; 08-12-2013, 05:17 PM.

Re: Ravi Zacharias
see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vyd6om8IC4M
I'm mostly posting this for everyone else reading the thread, since this video is one of the best/easily-understood videos on the internet for understanding morality and why Creationists are full of shit when it comes to stuff like this.
This one is also good: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VgHoyTvyh4o
But people who have already been brainwashed by religion won't ever bother to take either of these videos into intellectually honest, careful consideration, so I am not posting this to you: I already know you won't respond to them in an honest way.Last edited by Reincarnate; 08-12-2013, 05:23 PM.Comment

Re: Ravi Zacharias
The fact that he thinks that Christianity can answer everything about life (including destiny (which is bullshit)), the fact that he SKIPS OVER empirical evidence for evolution in order to justify creationism, and that his sermons are generally 45-minute long appeal-to-emotion fallacies.Comment

Re: Ravi Zacharias
11 minutes in and I'm fairly certain he's twisting personal experiences to his cause, nice one!
edit: oops he brought up tolerance. Tolerance is literally hindering scientific progress so uh, yeah man.Comment

Re: Ravi Zacharias
Okay, I can't fucking handle this anymore. I wonder if anyone in the audience is tracking with him, although I'd be willing to bet that the majority are smiling and nodding their heads when he says anything relating to Christianity.Comment

Re: Ravi Zacharias
Well, first thing I noticed is that when he repeated back what Ravi Zacharias said, he actually didn't understand. What Ravi is saying that for there to be a frame work of absolute morality, there must be a being that can give it. If there isn't than what the person in the video has said is true. But I never did hear as to why these things exist. All I saw was him saying how things work under certain circumstances. Never really as the how these idea's exist.FGO AAAs
