Sure, but fun also exists. Can't discount fun.

You're not insulting fun, are you?

Fun is a tool the devil uses to make evil seem good.

Living a joyless, stoic existence free from the burden of sin is how I know I'm close with Jesus and far away from the sinful, filthy, glutinous riffraff who I take great pride in looking down on.










That's my idea of fun!

Gee, heaven must be quieter than a law school library.

It has better acoustics, so there's no pesky sonic reflection every time you turn a page in the book.







And there's only one book.

What book is that?

It used to be Atlas Shrugged, but now it's Catcher in the Rye.












Gabriel finally got tired of Rand's over-simplified characters and thought Salinger a bit more nuanced.

For four months, in 1965, it was a Russian organic chemistry textbook.

Originally posted by ken_lee how do you know that? can you prove that it is unreasonable to believe in something without evidence?

Very, very easy.

A: reason = ability to think clearly, assess situations properly and make wise decisions.

B: evidence = something which establishes the truth or authenticity of a claim or a phenomenon.

Source: The Danish Dictionary, ordnet.dk

C: Emotions and senses are not reliable to determine authenticity, because we know that our senses can easily be wrong (hallucinations) and that emotions in and of themselves can not convey information about what they mean.

To judge a situation correctly and take a "wise" decision, it is necessary to assess the authenticity of the circumstances. Since evidence is all we have, that can assess the authenticity objectively, they are necessary for reason.

- Another thing entirely is that we can not know 100% for sure with evidence when the evidence must also be interpreted by the senses - but this is not a problem. Nothing can be known 100% sure, but by repeating an experiment again and again, we can get as close as possible, which nothing else can.

That is not how it works. Explain to me how they can be perceived.
