How a well-designed ideological Turing Test applied on atheists and Christians shows what little we really understand each other in debate. Even our fellows.
Anyone wanna do the second year's questions with me? (7:46) Answer as yourself or try to guess my views. 1. When (if ever) have you deferred to your philosophical or theological system over your intuitions? 2. Are there people whose opinions on morality you trust more than your own? How do you recognize them? How is trusting them different than trusting someone's opinion on physics? 3. Can you name any works of art (interpreted pretty broadly: books, music, plays, poetry, mathematical proofs, etc) which really capture the way you see life/fill you with a sense of awe and wonder? You can give a short explanation or just list a few pieces.
Alex Houghstow 1. A fight 2. Yes. Their faces resemble my closest friends and certain family members. One references the empirically testable external world. The other requires a unique understanding of my internal/view of/picture of etc.. world. 3. Hamlet: Why, look you now, how unworthy a thing you make of me! You would play upon me. You would seem to know my stops. You would pluck out the heart of my mystery. You would sound me from my lowest note to the top of my compass. And there is much music, excellent voice, in this little organ, yet cannot you make it speak? 'Sblood, do you think I am easier to be played on than a pipe? Call me what instrument you will, though you can fret me, yet you cannot play upon me.
Atheists score very well on knowledge of religions. Believers score very poorly on knowledge not only of atheism but of their own religion. So no, I don't need to learn anything from you. Your sort has nothing to teach me. Get lost.
A Catholic coworker gave me "An Examination Of Conscience: A Preparation For The Sacrament Of Penance" It is listing venal sins and says on page 22 "Playing Dungeons And Dragons or similar games"
@@grantdomstead1383 It doesn't say say in book. I would probably guess: witchcraft/magic, some characters worship Gods who are not the Christian God, promotes violence.

She's scary. But I think she's really smart.
You know Dungeons and Dragons is a venial sin right?

@@ChopShackle But what is in Dungeons and Dragons that makes it sinful? I've never played it.

@@ChopShackle I find myself disinclined to take instruction from the catholic church on matters of sin.
