A Couple of Questions about Dogma for the Atheists

[presonorek]

Sometimes the Christians will ask atheists to offer an “atheistic replacement” for the Bible, and the most common answer seems to be “libraries.” I do not necessarily disagree, but I believe that the order of the subjects, the Dewey Decimal and Library of Congress classification systems, are erroneous to what would be more logical, or whatever it would be. My proof of this is that we are not inclined to memorize the general categories, and I have never heard of anybody complimenting their familiarity with the classification system(s) as enhancing their sense of knowledge - which is what a knowledge classification system should do.

The library is dependent on the classification system for people to distinguish the contents of the books; and again, when asked, many atheists will respond that the Bible should be classified as fiction. There are some very relevant issues this leads to, but I want to know why don’t we have a better knowledge classification system?

Do you believe in the Dewey, or Library of Congress classification systems??? Do you believe that they are reliable sources of information for understanding the demarcation of knowledge?

The next question is about the Constitution. Do you believe in the Constitution?

It should not be that difficult to realize that the “checks and balances” do not work. If the checks and balances worked, then we would not endure corruption and flawed policy, because that is what the “checks and balances” are supposed to prevent. If it is because “they are not following the Constitution,” that means the checks and balances do not work, because the checks and balances are supposed to prevent that, as well. The checks and balances do not work, and that is probably because the three-part separation theory is improperly deployed. The three-part separation theory is probably a valid theory, but if there is any error in its deployment, then the distribution of government powers is probably not balanced, and the checks on power probably cannot work in accordance with expectations. It is very unlikely that the checks and balances are going to work correctly if the separation of government is not properly constructed.

Do you believe in the Constitution?

I believe there is no perfect system just like there are no perfect people. So the question isn't do I believe a system of checks and balances will always be perfect. Because that answer is that it won't as long as it relies on flawed human beings who are never free of imperfections of greed, pride and lust. So the question then becomes is a system of checks and balances the best system for human beings who are never free of imperfections of greed, pride and lust. The answer to that is it depends. If those imperfect human beings only follow the letter of the law rather than the spirit of the law then the answer is no. For those people they will eventually find that the only form of governance for them will be one of totalitarianism. But for those imperfect human beings who are willing to follow the spirit of the law rather than the letter of the law, sure.

I hope this helped you make whatever end run argument you were trying to make.

Have you tried to explain Norway's socialism to anyone yet?

Do you know anyone from Norway?

I do.

Cool. I heard that hats are awesome in Norway.

Are the library classification systems and Constitution reliable systems for the betterment of society, or are they unreliable, and possibly detrimental to the approach to better society?

Opionions vary.

So you know that they have a fairly small population (~6 million) and a lot of wealth from North Sea Oil, right?

Yes. I believe the Bible is mythology but I would be dumber than dirt to believe the Bible had no influence on the development of modern society. Books don’t last 400 years+ by accident. Hundreds of millions of books disappear. Some books (not many) pass the test of time. The Bible is one of those. I have no interest in being dumber than dirt. You?

You can appreciate the value of a book without believing it’s contents to be fact. Let’s not be dumber than dirt here. What is the second most influential book of all time? Any guesses? I’d say that nobody knows that answer.

Which bible are you throwing dirt about? The Jewish one or the christian one made up 100's of years later?
