A quickie rant on theology.

A bright teenager with access to Google instantly becomes smarter than all of the "greatest", theologians that ever lived.

That is all.

So why don't theologians now get smart using google?

I guess they would be out of a job...

Did my comment on this idea prompt this blog entry?

It is a good point.

It makes me wonder if there is some way of referring all theological propositions to their answers. You know, if someone puts forth the argument from design it could automatically be directed to the refutation of this argument.

WTF am I talking about? I shouldn't drink so early in the day.

But perhaps a site where all the arguments and answers are housed is what I am thinking about in my own muddled way.

Frank-

Yes, it did. :)

Figured I'd put it down for posterity for future reference. ;)

Yes, it would be handy to be able to hit a button for all the argument refutations, it does get fucking tiresome.

Unfortunately, the internet also allows people to imbibe weird bullshit and points people to the various websites that support their weird bullshit. There is a website supporting every sort of weird bullshit there is: my personal favorite being the one that claims that the paisley pattern attracts demons. And if you challenge these folks? "It's true! I saw it on the internet!"

Diacanu said...

Heh, indeed.

I guess I should've been more specific, and said "a bright teenager with a Googled up list of logic fallacies instantly becomes smarter than the greatest theologians whom ever lived".

Also, deleted your duplicate post for ya. :)
