Can You Explain Your Faith?

Petr Muzny: A Law Professor Explains His Faith
Petr is a specialist in human thinking. Notice how his study of cause and effect led him to question what he believed.

To be fair, he didn't say he studied cause and effect, he only segued from his profession in to that point. Cause and effect is an old argument in this area so I very much doubt he came to the idea entirely independently. It's a perfectly valid principle too, but it doesn't contradict evolutionary theory nor does it support the existence of an intelligent creator (indeed, it classically presents it a problem of what caused God).

Much like all the other videos you linked (again, all following the exact same talking points, just in their own words) help leapt from questioning evolution to unquestionable accepting the specific JW interpretation of the Bible without any logical connection or justification. The additional irony here is that he opened by talking about how we shouldn't accept assertions without question and yet the JW version of God is presented in exactly that manner.

Are you going to keep spamming more of the same kind of videos because none of them have added anything that wasn't covered in the first? :cool:

I never said I don't find the topic interesting, that's why I'm replying in the first place. I was just hoping for a deeper discussion on the points they make. Otherwise it's just cold proselytisation.

What do you do for Christmas celebrations?

Good question! :peace

Just a few examples:

decorate the Christmas tree, sing Christmas Carols, and eat Hildabrötle and Springerle (Christmas cookies)

Yes I can explain my faith. I believe in myself, no gods, just myself.
