Francis Schaeffer and Pea Soup

Post by AttentionKMartShoppers »

Has anyone read "The God Who is There" by Francis Schaeffer? He continually explains that humanistic philosophers cannot find a universal, which is keeping their philosophies from being actual philosophies, and not anti-philosophies. And, also, why can't humanistic philosophies logically lay the first stone to their reasoning?

It's hard at the moment, I'm making as much progress as a slab of concrete rolling uphill.
"My actions prove that God takes care of idiots."

He occasionally stumbled over the truth, but hastily picked himself up and hurried on as if nothing had happened.
- On Stanley Baldwin

-Winston Churchill

An atheist can't find God for the same reason a criminal can't find a police officer.

You need to start asking out girls so that you can get used to the rejections.

Humanism uses logic to explain itself the way a fish rides a bike to school.

Don't mix metaphors, it makes about as much sense as money stuffed under the bed.

At least my bed doesn't charge 3.75 for a withdrawal or $15 / month to have my money sit there. :)

Off-topic but I couldn't resist. Darn banks.

Yeah I know... PC banking is good but my credit rating is such that they won't auto-clear enough money for it to work well in my situation.

ING for daily banking? I can't remember why that didn't work.

Well maybe not for Daily Banking. CIBC has a new $12 a month plan giving you unlimited transactions

Edit: Sorry a little off topic

Why can't someone stay on topic with my threads? Is there a conspiracy?
