Re: 2 Men Using Scythes Hacking a Priest to Death in the Street
To be fair, nothing convinces the theist otherwise, except lots and lots of life experience. There is no space for reasonable discussion, so trying again is really a lost cause.  |

I think those two guys were just a little pissed at that one individual. The scythe to the top of the skull was the lynch-pin.  |

Re: 2 Men Using Scythes Hacking a Priest to Death in the Street
Worldviews are very hard to shake. A person becomes psychologically and emotionally committed to seeing reality through a particular lense. When encountering facts/circumstances which challenge that worldview he/she is much more likely to resort to auxiliary assumptions than to seriously question the original grand perspective. A good example would be the theory that the sun and planets revolve around the earth. As evidence mounted against this, proponents invented ever more complicated schemes of cycles and epicycles to "save the appearances." This could be made to "work" mathematically, up to a point, even though switching to a sun centered view was so much more simple and straightforward.
