   “Reason is the Devil’s greatest whore; by nature and manner of being she is a noxious whore; she is a prostitute, the Devil’s appointed whore; whore eaten by scab and leprosy who ought to be trodden under foot and destroyed, she and her wisdom … Throw dung in her face to make her ugly.” Martin Luther

   The people pushing this stuff aren’t all that stupid, and they have dealt with amateurs like barmaid. God could have created a naturally faithful and obedient creature, but instead created humans because we’re a lot more fun to kick around.

   Your faith is meaningless unless it’s tested, so it’s important that what you believe in, is indefensible on its face. And on yours, regularly. Logic is provided to us for this purpose. We’re tools of shaitan.

   This is actually perfectly sound thinking. The logic goes like this: We know, with absolute certainty, that we have truth and that we can win any logical argument with the unbelievers. [And indeed, when they argue with unbelievers they do in actual fact always win! Or at least, they always come up with arguments that they themselves find decisive. If the unbelievers disagree, well that’s just further evidence that unbelievers are either stupid or wicked]. However not all of our followers are as smart as we are, and if we allow them to argue with unbelievers at least some of them may be led astray and lose their souls forever. Therefore, for their own protection, we must not allow our followers to argue with unbelievers. They have nothing to gain, and everything to lose.

   This is the logic of the Index of Forbidden Books, but isn’t it also the same logic that leads parents to try to prevent their children from talking to scuzzy strangers on the internet? Are you saying parents are wrong to do that?
