From the (now missing) post you were responding to: quote:
ORIGINAL: Kirata Well, I'm not fond of any of the variations of that sort of "filled with the Holy Spirit" look. quote:
ORIGINAL: PeonForHer Do you go for that 'All the weight is off my shoulders because I have God' look yourself, K? Do you actually admire the wonderful certainty that someone like Kim Davis has, as a result of the firm belief in her religion? I mean, most of us, I think, are saddled with fundamental doubt about things - a necessary consequence of adopting reason as the 'ultimate authority'. Is that not for you - and do you, yourself, prefer something other than reason as your ultimate authority, as it were? I have no idea how you got from there to that, but reason is a whore who will spread her legs for any premise. I prefer to direct my concern first to the premises. The quality of reason that follows is irrelevant if they are questionable or false. K.
