Total BS

Little Foxling tries to tear up yet another vinyard:

A third group recognizes that religion isn’t true, but also recognizes that it doesn’t matter, because religion isn’t a science, but a way of life.

Yes

This group feels that religion can’t be sustained without believing in its tenets and therefore feels compelled to “believe” in religion, although it realizes the evidence is against religion.

Not exactly.

In this group, lies dovbear.

Homosaywhat?

What is included in “belief” various from person to person. Some outright lie to others. Some, outright lie to themselves. Some engage in sly pomo philosophy to evade the question. They go by “moral relativism,” “multiple truths” "noble lie" "nationaly mythology" and other such stuff.

Oh brother. Your contempt for things your don't understand bothers me.

Still others simply avoid thinking about the question or taking a firm stand on the matter, so they won’t need to deal with it. Others say “we don’t really know”

um... we don't really know. Do we?

...which is really just an excuse to not have to admit you are a kofer.

Or maybe --and hold on to your hat -- its just an honest way of expressing a true fact, ie, WE DONT REALLY KNOW

My problem with this group is that I find it to be intellectually dishonest.

My problem with you (and your Sith mentor) is that you think Truth is docheh hakol.

If you think OJ is crap, how can you justify going around telling people, especially your kids, that it’s true.

Because (listen again) Truth is not docheh hakol. There are all sort of other values, all of them equally important. The include love and mercy and equality and beauty and many, many more.

Anyway, there is no such thing as truth, not about the really big, really important things (as our Rabbis have recognized), and its a fool, a narcisist, a self murdering masochist, who pursues that chimera at the expense of all the other equally good, and important values.

What kind of father are you?

Bite me. Good fathers lie to their kids every day of the week.
