Wishful thinking explains why he's a Christian
William James would have lauded that Christian for his finding his superstition lively,forced and momentous as he lauded wishful thinking in religion, whilst he himself wasn't much of a believer but felt religion necessary for social purposes
The author misattributes divine inspiration for his own inner resources at work: people can get inspiration form other sources.
Nothing makes any religion lively,force and momentous as all flaunt rationality. Reason tells us that naturalism is all that as it fits reality.
Atheist pragmatists would find James so wrong-headed. I find that he ill serves pragmatism.I find him no pragmatist but just another failed apologist for woo!
The author ignores the overwhelming evidence against his Scriptures as truthful. What could be so lively, forced and momentous in following men's imaginations as revelations? His misinterpretation of evidence for divine love bespeaks love of might makes right as the Deluge and Hell insult morality and - humanity! .
Blood sacrifice, whether such as the Aztec's and the Incas practiced is no worse in principle than Yeshua's supposed expiation for us
Why suppose that the whole notion of expiation for that unhistorical Fall, which even as a
metaphor makes for a barbarity?
.
That Christian explains why he's deluded!
The author sure apologizes for his lack of understanding as to what happened to him when he falsely found God as changing around his life for the better.He merely used Him as inspiration when in fact it was just his own inner resources at work that he just fails to acknowledge; people can find that inspiration from other sources.
He merely flaunts his credulity!
Science finds that answered prayer is just post hoc - coincidental, and that theists merely rationalize about unanswered prayer. It finds no positive evidence that prayer has any relation to curing people. His sources lack credibility.
He falsely finds his Scriptures creditable. He merely uses wishful thinking as he does with those other two matters.
Williams James would have lauded this deludes person for finding his superstition lively,forced and momentous when in reality, it exudes irrationality so that actually it has no life, reality forces people to give it up and it's momentous only for the deluded.
