Which response it an arrogant misuse of the brain God gave you. Making your own judgments does not necessarily mean rejecting those of others, nor that those who disagree with you are not using their brain rightly, which is an illogical, fallacious question-begging assertion. should enable you to see where the judgments of others are correct or incorrect.
Your assertion is that I cannot "think outside the box constructed for you by corrupt men self-proclaimed their holiness centuries ago and you continue to blindly believe todays corrupt holy men'" and that for the religious fanatic POV to ask or think about these types of questions is heresy; things that cannot even be thought about, thus the religious fanatic remains willfully ignorant as to why God gave us such a powerful brain."
Which irrational ranting is false, for not only have your questions as to man's unique status been a matter of focus for centuries, but using my brain I just substantiated my case in refutation of your premise that I brainlessly blindly believe others and do not make my own judgments, and instead systematically provided the substantiation for what I myself choose to believe.
Indeed there are those who blindly follow others, as in cults, yet if that were the cause among all Christians we would not have basic divisions. And in fact, as a result of using my brain, by God's grace, I do think outside the box constructed for me by certain corrupt men self-proclaimed their holiness centuries ago," such as in showing distinctive Catholic teachings are not manifest in the only wholly inspired substantive authoritative record of what the NT church believed (which is Scripture, in particular Acts through Revelation, which best shows how the NT church understood the gospels).
However, at least you seems to acknowledge that there is a Creator who gave man his brain, yet which ignorant, arrogant, angry anti-theists would charge you with being ignorant and irrational for believing.
Meanwhile this exchange originally flowed from your insinuation that the religious are ignorant of the reason men men live in sexual sin (because it is pleasurable), which is where your display of arrogant ignorance began, which response evidently is based upon the premise that using the brain God gave you means rejecting God's moral laws on fornication with sexually attractive females since it is "awesome," which is contrary to reason, as a powerful brain should be able to see.
For if God provided physical laws of the universe, and ignoring such has deleterious consequences, it is certainly rational and reasonable that the Creator would provide moral laws for man to obey. And if he meant men to fornicate, versus sexual relations in marriage, then why would He create and design women to become pregnant and give birth without having a husband in the mutually committed compact of marriage which best provides the secure environment for this vulnerable sexual and spiritual union and the normative natural result of it? And which And why all the STDS which abound (at least about one out of 4 women of child-bearing age) - and at great cost to society.
You really think that The Pill and Abortion fatalities and the fornication and fatherless families and feminism and financial burden it fosters would be the design of a intelligent Creator? No, that conclusion is not rational.
In all, you have only exampled the opposite of the right use of the brain God provided,
Yada yada yada.
“You really think that The Pill and Abortion fatalities and the fornication and fatherless families and feminism and financial burden it fosters would be the design of a intelligent Creator? No, that conclusion is not rational.”
I’ve never said those things, I simply accept the fact that they’re a reality that needs to be dealt with, but now that you’ve mentioned them, it would seem your statement proves my point completely.
To wit:
Of course those terrible things are not the plan of the Creator precisely because God gave people a brain with which to think which also provided us free will. Some people use their brain and their free will to do bad, evil & sinful things; other people use their ability to think and their free will to do good things.
And thats the point, the very presence of those things proves that there is no Creator’s plan that we follow. If there were a plan we were following like unthinking automatons, those evil things would not exist; the fact they do exist proves my point about human beings and free will.
How we use the special gifts our Creator gave us is what we will be judged upon.
