They are a hundred times more dangerous to our liberties, and the great cause we are engaged in. It is much to be lamented that each State, long ere this, has not hunted them down as pests to society, and the greatest enemies we have to the happiness of America.
In fact it is knitted from two separate letters by Washington, in reverse chronology, neither of them mentioning Jews. The first part of this forgery are taken from Washington's letter to Edmund Pendleton, Nov. I have tried to reproduce Washington's spelling and punctuation exactly. In that letter Washington complains about black marketeers and others undermining the purchasing power of colonial currency: : … but I am under no apprehension of a capital injury from ay other source than that of the continual depreciation of our Money.
This indeed is truly alarming, and of so serious a nature that every other effort is in vain unless something can be done to restore its credit. Where this has been the policy in Connecticut for instance the prices of every article have fallen and the money consequently is in demand; but in the other States you can scarce get a single thing for it, and yet it is with-held from the public by speculators, while every thing that can be useful to the public is engrossed by this tribe of black gentry, who work more effectually against us that the enemys Arms; and are a hundd.
The second part of this fabricated quote is from Washington's letter to Joseph Reed, Dec. It is much to be lamented that each State long ere this has not hunted them down as the pests of society, and the greatest Enemys we have to the happiness of America. I would to God that one of the most attrocious of each State was hung in Gibbets upons a gallows five times as high as the one prepared by Haman.
No punishment in my opinion is too great for the Man who can build his greatness upon his Country's ruin. Misattributed, Spurious attributions.
Adopted from Wikiquote. Last update June 3, Martin Luther seminal figure in Protestant Reformation - He has stern conflicts to meet. Severe temptations assail him. His attacks will grow fiercer and more frequent. Those who resist light and truth will become more hardened and unimpressible, and more bitter against those who love God and keep His commandments MS 33, Light , History , Truth , God.
Sun , Universe , Light , God. And it may well be true, for the soul at its highest is formed like God, but an angel gives a closer idea of Him. That is all an angel is: an idea of God. If one tries to define atheism in religious terms, it glaringly misses the point.
But if a person trusts someone or something, it is measure of some kind of trust. That if a person views life and the world around us through Darwinian spectacles, there is little need for God or a god. In response to post Science earns trust by accurate prediction of reality.
Truth is simply the mental model that most closely corresponds to reality. Science observes reality, facts, and proposes and tests explanations of those facts. Religions proposes fantasies to explain reality. All the prayers of all the godly did not rid the world of smallpox. Science did that. As the enlightenment spread across Europe, Luther fought back attacking reason, and attempted to return to the age of superstition.
On the contrary, it does have facts, of course, but it mainly has evidences, but the interpretation of those evidences, are not always factual, but theoretical. Jesus Christ is not a fantasy or a propagated fantasy. Neither are were the lives of the New Testament Apostles.
Likewise, I reject your comment concerning Luther, because you have not provided any proofs. So, until you do, I am not interested in those claims. Both born with unusual gifts. As they grow older, those gifts manifest and they are demonstrated to be unusual or genius. He denies any claim of a Divine being or a creator but claims humans are just matter, not soul or spirit. The other person says, but who gave DNA in the first place?
Who created consciousness? Who created life? Who created the human mind? Who created the world we live in and time, space and matter? So, in light of those two people, if the first person is correct, who deserves the credit for the initial gift? Your argument is not valid. You article ends in with a false dichotomy and an ad hominem but worse, given the latter you are in no position to reasonably comment on Dawkins for he is doing science, not theology. Thank you for your comments.
Ad Hominem is by definition is directed at a person, rather than a position they are maintaining. There is not a single personal attack on his character or person. That is wrong also. Going back to reading the God Delusion. Happy new year. Not only is Dawkins misrepresenting Luther, but is the quote even real? NOTE: Comments that contain any form of mind games, cyber bullying or personal attacks and insults will not be approved.
A further source on this topic by theologian, priest, intellectual historian, scientist, Christian apologist, and public intellectual Alister McGrath, appears to affirm a similar argumentation as myself.
Deluded about God? The web source provided is a list of citations, all in English translation, without the original German or Latin, or any indication of their sources, and making no attempt at scholarly engagement. Footnote Whether Luther or someone close to him, it happened, repeatedly, and it happened at the hand of a theist in a position of influence. Yet, that appears to be the goal. All supernatural explanation exists outside of reason. Whether deities or unicorns, the supposition occurs after reason is abandoned.
Of course reason stands to be the enemy of the supernatural faith, it is anti-reason.. Did it fallacy- wish thinking -argument from ignorance, incredulity -divine fallacy -appeal to heaven, hearsay, faith -stolen concept -special pleading -unfalsifiability.. These listed are catastrophic to a position, yet, the very people guilty of them are attempting to say a minor, and unsubstantiated contextomy is irreconcilable?
Not much integrity in that logic. Even attempting to defend a position of faith by reason is a stolen concept. Reason is and will always be an enemy of unfalsifiable faith. The two are mutually exclusive. Luther or no Luther, whomever said it was on the right track. NOTE: Comments that contain any form of Gaslighting, manipulation tactics, psychological manipulation, framing flattery, time dominance, intimidation by numbers, will not be approved.
Well the quote is of course used by Luther, Dawkins was incorrect in not citing it properly. Whether Dawkins understood it or not is another thing. Hi Simon can you delete my comment since I think I gave the wrong quote as this is another one?
But yes I do agree with you and Alister, Dawkins does not quite understand what he is speaking off. You are commenting using your WordPress. You are commenting using your Google account. You are commenting using your Twitter account.
