@sapinker @mlhetland @TIMEIdeas Inability to think critically comes from uneducated brains. Good reading educates brains. Write better.

@chris_mahan You think this was poorly written, then? -
@mlhetland and if writers write well, kids will read, kids will develop their brain, will learn critical thinking. Indoctrination will fail. -
@mlhetland This btw has essentially become my personal goal. -
@chris_mahan Good goal. My aims are certainly (perhaps unsurprisingly) similar/overlapping. -
@mlhetland Essentially, kids who read young become lifelong learners, enjoy reading. You? -
@chris_mahan Well, I teach comp.sci. at a university, and write books/course material and research papers. Fiction only an ambition so far.

@sapinker@TIMEIdeas Atheism (which provides no basis for objective right out wrong) can say what exactly about the killings? -
@Wardiator You really wanna parse this? Is something good b/c your God commands it? Or does your God command it b/c it's good? -
@_NIKD_ Neither. Evidently you are unaware of the Christian response to your statement. -
@Wardiator Yeah? You're going to move it one rung up the ladder to "nature" and be stuck w/the same issue. -
@_NIKD_ what do you mean by nature? -
@Wardiator Most Xtians say goodness is inherent in God's nature. What's your original objection? -
@_NIKD_ my objection? That atheists like Steve Pinker should stop borrowing Christian morality. -
@Wardiator Oh my... And what exactly is "Christian" morality? - 2 more replies
