The Audacity of Religious Thinking

Religion makes an attempt to answer philosophical questions and it does so with its own sanctimonious levels of certainty; a kind of certainty that is based on faith. Philosophy is a subject of curiousity and inquiry, but does not claim to know all.  Science is logical, empirical and equitable. Therefore, the scientific method is where we can align our confidence.

Proponents of religiosity and theology act with tremendous overconfidence, cockiness and claim to be in receipt of a sort of revealed truth; a notion that only religious followers are of witness. So, they ask you to accept their religious, unempirical faithfulness first before God can reveal his truth to you.

‘Admit that we are right, disregard all that is logical, evident and empirical, and then you will experience Godly revelation’. Such is a ridiculous mode of thinking. Isn’t it more sensible to see the evidence first and then admit the truth of its premise? The religious apologist would rather to the opposite whilst omitting the empirical evidence.
