As you may have seen from my previous edits i mainly do things related to pseudoscience and having a few pages to look at is really nice!

Hm... it is a bit out of date now... --Hob Gadling (talk) 10:49, 27 February 2025 (UTC)
Could not have put it better myself.
[edit]"Once people stop believing in God, the problem is not that they will believe in nothing; rather, the problem is that they will believe anything." - C. S. Lewis 69.118.244.151 (talk) 16:24, 7 June 2025 (UTC)
- That's for gullible people only. Not believing in gods is not a problem. --Hob Gadling (talk) 16:27, 7 June 2025 (UTC)
- If you allow me, the claim can be put in context:
- CS Lewis was a notable fiction writer but also a Christian apologist and a man of his time.
- Psychological projection and slippery slope fallacy - the non-belief and requirement for evidence is dramatized with straw men. What was "anything" really meant to suggest? It's left open for the reader to imagine anything. An agnostic or atheist doesn't bother with the possible existence of Zeus if they were not presented with credible evidence of his existence. While a lack of critical thinking and superstition can lead to incredible beliefs and outcomes, the higher standard of necessitating evidence means that it's not just about belief, but knowledge acceptance, meaning that such a person is actually unlikely to uncritically "believe anything".

- Agree with you.
but also a Christian apologist
Yes. Lewis' fiction also makes his Christian apologism clear. I would avoid as much as possible to be in the same room as someone who views "everybody dies (and goes to heaven), except the one bad person! Neener neener neener!" as a happy end. Their real-life decisions must be misinformed by the delusion of life after death, just like Islamist fundamentalists who blow themselves up. --Hob Gadling (talk) 09:28, 17 August 2025 (UTC)
