Yeah it was cbs, it was during o-week...Originally posted by kaseita
was this cbs? I know that some of the 'leaders' (they're actually just full-time workers for the group) don't know very much - they're just dedicated
the main guy I don't think would have that much trouble...I would be more surprised that you talked to him actually. you'd have to go to one of the meetings in order to catch him since his not on campus that often.
actually, a pure rational argument with another person on religion, would end up in a stalemate, since as you say, its based on faith - so it ends up boiling down to me believing my thing, and they believing their thing, and no one budging (or that's what I've experienced).
no, but in a purely rational argument, faith would have no value and no place in the argument. In order for an argument to be purely rational you would have to argue with logic and evidence, which religion for the most part sorely lacks...

oh? more gff came again hm?
actually, turned out my limo driver for my formal was part of em *scary*
oh, religions have logic - just that their explanations for their arguments tend to be rather unbelievable, and seeing that the explanations don't come with evidence, it makes it unbelievable. i.e. their logic tends to make a little leap along the way.
there is evidence - that's more tied in with prophecies being fulfilled I guess.
but nowadays, that concept gets clouded because of all the nostradamus stuff, where they keep predicting stuff and then nothing happens (amongst other things)
anyway, not here to start an argument. I want my week holiday nice and peaceful

Nostradamus claimed to be connected to the Church (and hence to God), but the Church rejects any connection to Nostradamus.

ROFL!
its Campus Bible Study ... and i'm not even a christian ...
Campus Bible Study (CBS for short)...giant Christian group on campus, it's interdenominational, but was established by Anglicans. The Anglican Chaplain of UNSW is Phillip Jensen who is now also the Dean of St Andrews Cathedral (an anglican thingy). They're a very good group if you're christian. If you've been approached by people from CBS just talking stuff, you don't need to talk to them if you dont wanna...and my experience with the full-time staffworkers, they're pretty experienced, and know their stuff (they're actually church ministers/pastors in training). If they've offended you by trying to push you into talking, then I'll apologise on their behalf...
yeh... www.campusbiblestudy.org I'm a CBSer by the way, I lead one of those bible study groups. Think of it as a giant church on campus.
