[02:59] why apologetics?
[02:59] re all
[02:59] ..as in Christian apologetics?
[02:59] it fits the channel purpose
[02:59] yes
[02:59] hence my nick
[03:00] Acolyte
[03:00] ah well
[03:00] anyhow, I don't think viability is
a test of what a thing is, but rather wht it can do
[03:00] undernet is kinda slow
[03:00] depends efnet splits
[03:00] its a trade off
[03:01] anyhow
[03:01] about abortion
[03:01] yes.
[03:01] anyhow, I don't think viability is
a test of what a thing is, but rather wht it can do
[03:01] I think natural viability should be
the litmus test of personhood
[03:01] why?

[03:02] lib is that what medicine is for?
[03:02] What's the argument?
[03:02] abortion
[03:02] noticed (some) Christians can be very
testy when it comes to topics?
[03:02] lin its just the channel format is
all
[03:02] we should avoid the whole problem
and just sterilize the race
[03:02] Oblivion that would be a final solution
;)
[03:03] oblivion gee sounds like some german
I once read about
[03:03] C. S. Lewis was a fraud.
[03:03] oblivion how was lewis a fraud?
[03:03] rapture is false doctrine
[03:03] soup is good food
[03:03] lib sure the rapture is so?
[03:04] His whole system was dogmatic.
[03:04] lib is medicine for the purpose of
letting "nature" take its cource or for life?
[03:04] Acolyte is so what? so true or so much
bunk?
[03:04] Oblivion that was the point, any system
has dogma
[03:04] brb
[03:04] Acolyte I suppose so..unless it's hernal
medecine :)
[03:04] herbal
[03:04] you can't argue from a dogma though.
[03:04] That's *my* whole point.
[03:04] It eliminates rational discussion.
[03:04] RU a nazi?
[03:05] What...you mean me?
[03:05] oblivion u missed th point
[03:05] yes/no?
[03:05] no I am not a nazi
[03:05] oblivion define dogma
[03:05] heh..just asking
[03:05] librul not even close
[03:06] dogma: presupposed assumption of fundamental
principles which are not questioned within the theology.
[03:06] false
[03:06] No...
[03:06] dogma does not merely apply to theology
[03:06] Of course not!
[03:06] any system has dogma,
[03:06] there's secular dogma
[03:06] I meant with regards to our present
discussion.
[03:06] science etc
[03:06] fine
[03:06] we have zxioms, big deal
[03:06] axioms even
[03:06] so does everyone
[03:07] so..lets plan the revolution :)
[03:07] that does not preclude rational discussion
[03:07] lib hardly

go well

[03:08] oblivin axioms are not some kind of
crime
[03:08] r they?
[03:08] When examining such things as Christianity
though, I think it's asking too much to presume salvation,
though.
[03:08] er...eliminate one though.
[03:08] who ever said that?
[03:08] I don't presume soteriology
[03:08] I don't know, don't think anyone did.
[03:09] The Triune God is the foundational
axiom in my system, everything else flows from there
[03:09] DGC (cashmore@cashmore.actrix.gen.nz) joined
#apologetics.
[03:09] But in a system such as Aristotle's,
the axioms are limited to what is known to us, what
is immediate to our experience.
[03:09] hullo dgc
[03:09] Exactly. And having that as an axiom
skews the whole system from word go.
[03:09] oblivion if one is disposed to a soley
empiricst epistemology true
[03:09] hi everyone
[03:09] why?
[03:10] what system does not have an axiom?
[03:10] And an epistemology (or ontology)
based on deontic principles is rubbish!

[08:09] We only flagrantly violate the rules
to test you. ;)
[08:09] heh
[08:09] so who is this weetbix person?
[08:10] I suspect that one cause behind the
frequent appearance of apologetic discussions in #bible
is the fact that some folks can only open one window
at once, and are reluctant to leave that channel.
The superior bot might also be a f
actor.

[08:15] oh wait

[08:16] oh ok
[08:16] I'm interested
[08:16] ProfG: Hmm, is this what you get when
you don't accept the Bible as the word of God? I see
your point now, trying to keep this out of #bible :-)
[08:16] profg thats anb understatment
[08:17] Elim: blame Acolyte with his dumb ol'
math
[08:17] :)
[08:17] brb
[08:18] the fact is that i can see the reason
why most religons cant be seen as the same
[08:18] when you take them down to the fundamentals
they say believe in me and love thy neighbour
[08:18] I was most interested in that last comment
you made in #Bible

[08:22] Acolyte yes

[08:24] Elim (derudder@felix.kulak.ac.be) left #apologetics.
[08:24] The real question is whether we try
in futility to construct a representation of reality
for ourselves apart from God, or whether we accept
and work within God's construction of reality.
[08:25] profg yup
[08:25] As Derrida insists, there's no reaching
a transcendental signified, if one starts with the
autonomous mind.
[08:26] hmm
[08:26] Action: ProfG has to read Derrida, et. al,
for - can you believe it? - International Relations...
it's an infestation, I tell you!
[08:26] Which text[s]?
[08:27] heh, can't remember now (thank God)
[08:27] Nick change: Cannibal -> JohnKnox
[08:27] if god revealed him self to moses

[08:28] weebix2: Could he have? Yes. Did he?
Yes.
[08:28] It's recounted in the OT as well as
the new ;)
[08:28] could those ppl not have interpreted
it differently
[08:28] profg try Wittgenstein
[08:28] weebix2: Could they have? Sure. Did
they? No.
[08:28] ie formed different religions
[08:29] Acolyte: yup, him too
[08:29] Jesus and Moses are in accord; ditto
the other canonical sources.
[08:29] alcuin come on who are you kidding
how many religions are based on the bible
[08:29] profg just thought of soemthn
[08:29] at least 30 odd
[08:30] profg, that is a RAD VERSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[08:30] profg look at it and think Modalism
[08:30] Acolyte :-)
[08:30] SO IS that suposed to mean sommit
[08:30] profg it KILLS modalism
[08:30] Acolyte: well, of course ;->
[08:30] weebix2: I'm not claiming that there
are not other interpretations of the Bible. I'm saying
that the interpretations within the bible are authoritative,
