Maybe I'm old fashioned but I thought being exposed to ideas you disagree with & trying to rebut them improved your critical thinking skills

🧵Pain and Pleasure: An Evidential Problem for Theists

In this thread, I'm going to briefly go over one of the most formidable challenges ever put forward to Theism: Paul Draper's Humean Argument from Evil. First published in 1989, (1/19)

@erikdtaylor @RandalRauser @MikeWingerii You have made a lot of claims of criminal activity perpetrated by several individuals. Why hasn’t Mr. Trump’s hand-picked justice department done anything about these alleged crimes?

[Wask @WaSkeptic]

@LukeJohn82 @BanjoAtheist I find this very alarming. When really smart Christians disagree on something like THIS, that’s a huge red flag on source material. Both claim the other is wrong and have _convincing_ rationale to support it.

How do I distinguish which is right?

[Wask @WaSkeptic]

@tommycarpenter_ @DrNeilStone I strongly recommend you take up a study of research methodology so you can learn how the researchers classify and tackle the variables you pointed out.

[Wask @WaSkeptic]

@TheMindshockPod @___TheGOOdWitch He addresses this right after you stopped watching - about 30 seconds into the video.

[Wask @WaSkeptic]

@darwintojesus Posting thoughts like this that are so easily refutable really hurt your position on other things you post.

[Wask @WaSkeptic]

@SonofManwithus How did you learn all this?

[Wask @WaSkeptic]

@darwintojesus @SpeedWatkins This statement seems in conflict with your OP

[Wask @WaSkeptic]

@NateSchatzline Are you under the belief that you can create laws to establish your religion?

[Wask @WaSkeptic]

@hawkblogger Yep, just grabbed one as well. I didn’t even know you had one on the way and was confused when I saw it sitting there in Costco with the HB logo on it.

[Wask @WaSkeptic]

@DWillow80848 @Seahawks Yeah, that’s definitely painful to see a comparison lined up like this, especially with the 2015 Super Bowl accounting factored in …

… but did you not realize that Portland is not in Washington?

[Wask @WaSkeptic]

@mcuban Interesting hypothesis, but the article lacks evidence to support its claims. Maybe the next one (hinted at the end) will provide the evidence.

[Wask @WaSkeptic]

@fugitivemama @RepKimSchrier Are you thinking of someone else? I have never seen Dr. Schrier ever say “Covid was safe” and I cannot find any evidence to support this claim.

[Wask @WaSkeptic]

@DrNeilStone I hope you stay. I enjoy your posts!

[Wask @WaSkeptic]

@LaboratoryMan6 @AndrewLSeidel It costs a lot of taxpayer money to build the massive machine that is the government. Using that machine to *promote* one religion is the problem; all people are effectively subsidizing that one religion.

What’s your counter argument to use this machine to promote one religion?

[Wask @WaSkeptic]

@Rainmaker1973 I wonder how people know what Jesus looked like

[Wask @WaSkeptic]

@MagaNorth @DrNeilStone Do you have any data to support your claim?

[Wask @WaSkeptic]

@peterboghossian The source article from Forbes doesn’t specify how the waste was evaluated and doesn’t break down what the waste is. Where can I find this data?

[Wask @WaSkeptic]

One of my biggest problems with the Christians I grew up around on display here:

God’s alleged message seems to have conflicting, yet plausible interpretations by his own people. How is that possible?

[Cameron Bertuzzi @CapturingChrist]

I’m amazed that people even think this. That’s not what the parable teaches. A neighbor is someone in your proximity. That’s what the Greek word used in this story refers to.
