If you assume ...My apologies for misunderstanding.<br /><br />If you assume that the bible is authoritative, and deny yourself any means in which to investigate or know whether that claim is true or false, claiming it as axiomatic, then I suppose you have little choice but to see such attempts as due to epistemic ignorance.<br /><br />I'd put it down to a case of epistemic difference rather than ignorance :-)Rianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08021810579773953296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6376955256463224749.post-61025613350749622492013-11-14T11:39:42.498-08:002013-11-14T11:39:42.498-08:00You don't think it's fair because you'...You don't think it's fair because you're as clueless as to the real issues as they are, as I've shown here already.
