How can we be sure that all religions are wrong?

@reasoning logic,

RL
Now that you have the flavor of Rorty's lecture you may be in a position to reconsider your title "How can we be sure that all religions are wrong ?" The whole lecture might be considered to be a response to that.
You might also revisit my first answer to this (Post: # 5,305,007 on page 21).
If you do so, you might note that to understand the significance of "context" consider how the fresco /RL transaction of 4.17.13 differs from those of today even though the focus in both cases is on words like "wrong". Rorty's reference to Derrida is precisely with respect to the analysis of context and the shifting value of words..

@neologist,

RL is a teacher? The teacher..?

Why would the question,

, be asked?

Who would ask that question? Why would someone ask that question? The question itself confuses me. I'm not sure I will learn anything.

@anonymously99stwin,

The question is asked by those who claim that religious belief is "irresponsible" or "illogical" given modern science and/or the social strife that belief has caused.

Jesus was technically an alien of unimaginable power and bent the laws of physics to prove it-
"I am not of this world" (John 8:23)
"Even though you do not believe me, believe the miracles, that you may know and understand that the Father is in me, and I in the Father" (John 10:38)

None of the front men of other religions did that stuff, so other religions are not worth a crock.. Wink

No. It can be a rhetorical question designed to elicit different views rather than seeking a firm conclusion.

Absolutely. Except for the part about stonewalling when wrong. I almost always acknowledge when I am wrong. But I now see that the teacher was correct in not doing so. Credibility and all that.

My response:
I'm not a ******* drughead. I've never abused drugs in my life. I'm not an addict of drugs. You people want to continuously HINT at the fact that YOU think I'm a ******* drughead by all means I'm not trying to control your mind doing my best to turn you against someone to make you hate despise someone. Just because I have LOVE and a gawddamn lot of it to offer doesn't mean I'm some mirajuana slash weed lunatic obsessed with love no not saying mj smokers are lunatics some I know of are actually good people within. besides the point.
I DON'T GET OFF TO GETTING HIGH oh crack and coke and whatever the **** else there is you want to say I've done etc etc let me be quite frank with you I AM A CAFFEINE ADDICT, OCCASIONAL ALCOHOL ABUSING PIECE OF ****. The only way to keep me going without sleeping for a period of time is caffeine and whatever else caffeine related such as energy drinks, or in the past a combo of both. I'M SORRY I'M NOT THE DRUG ABUSING PIECE OF **** YOU WANT, WANTED ME TO BE. AND IF MY PARENTS ARE TELLING YOU THIS **** IT IS BECAUSE THEY ARE PISSED OFF FOR MISSING ME WHO I TRULY AM ALL THIS TIME. MISSING ME AS IN NOT KNOWING WHO THEIR OFFSPRING/STEP OFFSPRING WAS. YEAH I KIND OF GREW UP AROUND PEOPLE WHO THOUGHT THEY KNEW ME. NO ONE KNEW ME OBVIOUSLY BECAUSE HERE I AM TODAY TWENTY ******* THREE YEARS OLD AND NOT A GAWDDAMN PERSON KNOWS WHO THE **** I AM. HELLO MOM DAD I'M HERE AS YOUR OFFSPRING TELLING YOU HI SORRY YOU "MISSED" ME BUT UH YEAH I'M FUCKED UP IN THE HEAD HAVE BEEN MY ENTIRE LIFE OR WAS MY ISOLATION, ALONG WITH MY FUCKED UP BEHAVIOR, AND CUTTING MY WRIST ALL THOSE YEARS NORMAL. SORRY YOU MISSED THAT.
THAT'S RIGHT. I'M NOT ******* SORRY BECAUSE I DIDN'T KNOW A GAWDDAMN THING. YEAR TWO THOUSAND TWELVE THE RIGHT PEOPLE FUCKED WITH MY ******* FUCKED UP HEAD LEADING ME ONTO THE PATH OF FINDING OUT WHO THE **** I AM. HI WORLD NICE TO ******* MEET YOU. OH. YOU SHOULD KNOW. I HAVE A SARCASTIC VIEW ON LIFE BECAUSE OF HOW FUCKED UP IN THE HEAD I AM. As I think to myself. Hell. I don't know what to think.
