Presuppositionalism

Sye Ten Bruggencate presented his Presuppositional argument for god's existence in Memphis, Tennessee, on May 31, 2014.


It looks a bit like this:



And it sounds a bit like this:


The original video is here:


Presuppositionalists are the laziest (and dopiest) Christians to have ever appeared on planet Earth. They simply presuppose that god exists - and then say "God exists"! Then, having satisfied themselves that their presupposition is true, they casually declare that the bible (the word of god) must also be true when it says that atheists are:

  • "fools" (Psalm 14:1) 
  • "who suppress the truth" (Romans 1:18)

With the atheist thus demonized, the presuppositionalist Christian further assumes that everything an atheist says, does, or experiences, is not worth a pinch of shit. Listen to Phillip Rearick as he spreads Christian love and tolerance all across the Internet while he talks about atheists in this article about presuppositionalism:

  • A life without God is absurd.
  • It is impossible for atheists to live consistently and happily
  • From a naturalistic standpoint, freedom must be nothing more than self-delusion.
  • The concept of freedom is contradictory to the presuppositions of naturalism and atheism
  • The feeling of love is completely meaningless.
  • selfless acts of humility, charity, and altruism are meaningless and illogical.
  • Life is then, without ultimate meaning, value, or purpose.
  • A life without God has no ultimate significance.
  • if there is no God, life becomes meaningless.
  • The cruelty of atheism is hard to believe
  • a life without God has no purpose and atheists cannot live happily
  • With the world view of atheism, we cannot live consistently and happily.
  • If God does not exist, life is futile. It is meaningless.

It seems that Rearick has decided that the following bible texts do not apply to him:
You shall love your neighbor as yourself. (Mark 12:31)
Judge not, lest you be judged (Matthew 7:1)
