All false. This linguist is an idiot. The Christian faith is based on empiricism, in that there are a cloud of witnesses for the person of the Lord Jesus Christ. Obviously, there was some thing wrong with this missionary, not with the Christian faith.
;p Yeah astonishing, it seems the ability to conceptualize things far in the future or not immediate or perceivable, enable you to great scientific discoveries, but also makes the population vulnerable to baseless beliefs such as religion!
“That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked at and our hands have touched-this we proclaim concerning the Word of life.” (1 John 1:1 NIV)
dude, you became a Christian missionary yet the thought NEVER crossed your mind that there was no visible evidence for your beliefs? Not making any judgements about atheism or Christianity, but how dumb can you be?
Dear MassZombi: I am curious about your phrase; “cuntlike demeanor.” Does this have anything to do with clitoral consciousness? Or am I detecting something fishy here? From your context it would seem you have a strong aversion to cunts. Is this a response to early childhood maternal smothering or trauma of some kind? This is asked for empirical purposes only.
The story about jesus says it all, maybe their world view eliminates all the bullshit and manipulation that western society is plagued by.
We increasingly value empirical evidence (the basis of science) above other information, they have entirely based communication on those principles – beautiful.
“This speaker only had religion. He never knew God in the first place.”
That was a load of crap.
If you learn some more about the Piraha, that is just the point..
How can you ‘know’ anything that noone have seen ?
Those people showed this ex-missionary that religion is nothing more than a useless waste of time, and the ‘holy’ books are full of garbage.
It is time to really get to know Jesus Christ. This speaker only had religion. He never knew God in the first place. Serving the “god of self” is always a lonely road which leads to worthlessness.
but really reality is lived inside the brain is it not? No matter how many facts are presented it is up to the mind to accept it as fact. Maybe drugs do help you connect? Look at it like this, how will you, personally, ever figure out that a false fact is false if you believe it as a fact? If everyone takes it as fact, than it is a fact right? Even if it is not a fact. Remember when the universe revolved around the earth? That was a fact. Copernicus was chastised.
You try not to believe? You don’t need to try not to believe to be rational, just require evidence.
You had an overwhelming experience – which I can believe in – but then you jump to a non sequitur saying there is something more than an altered state of mind, which you don’t have evidence of. So, something fails in your logic.
Oh really? Care to share your cloud?
Hopefully not the usual suspects refuted millions of times.

This is a false statement.
Every language can express everything. The differences between languages is what is mandatory to express.

This tribe cannot even add 1 and 1 yet they are impervious to religious indoctrination, what does that say about Christians?
Maybe that lack of imagination is why they are still living in huts.

Wow, a language with built in attribution for information.

You are so funny
It reminds me of Lojban evidentials.
we all KNOW strong feelings are so much better than actual evidence and facts. lol!
Serving “the god of self” (whoa that’s fortune cookie depth of analysis!) might be lonely, but serving a crazy dead Jew is just plain insane!

prffsrz: “This speaker only had religion. He never knew God in the first place.”
Neither did his father or any of his friends, apparently. That’s kind of the whole point of the story

something woke us up, what the hell was it?
