[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wish there were an edit function:

Hi - this is a very common logical fallacy. This is the "appeal to consequences" fallacy - basically, it means that you don't like the consequences if your worldview isn't correct, so therefore your worldview isn't correct. You can read more about that fallacy here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Appeal_to_consequences

Obviously, I meant that the common fallacy is that you don't like the consequences if your worldview isn't correct, so therefore your worldview is correct. [/quote]

The fallacy only applies if that is all there is to my position.  Also, there is a distinction between not "liking" the consequences and the consequences being impossible.

You cannot prove there is not eternal justice any more than I can prove there is eternal justice, because neither of us have an eternal perspective here in this world.

So your faith is as strong, or perhaps stronger, than mine.

But I rely on common sense and logic [b]and[/b] revelation to support my faith.  And since the concept of justice does not exist in reality, because there is never, and can never be, justice in this world, one must wonder from Whom the concept arises.  Why have an idea of fairness when there is never, has never been, and will never be, fairness here?[/quote]
