What is Your Worldview?

. . .include the existence of God, but not a God anything like the one described in the OT, which I cannot reconcile to the entity that Jesus called his Father.
Satan as an actual being seems to me to be redundant, as the people I know (myself included) have the capability to be shortsighted, selfish and violent, and so mess the world up without assistance.My beliefs can and probably will change as I learn and experience more, so I'm not certain that they qualify as a wordview.They are based on experience, but include insights and mystical experience as well as what I learn and perceive through my senses.

Wait! . . Let me guess!Having read your post 274 in Lam’s proof thread, and looked at the websites you listed here I think it very possible that the chart in the last website, that is adapted from the book by Dennis McCallum. And that the criteria for testing a worldview are also from that book.Could be wrong of course, can you please let me know?If I’ve got it right, the next question is, who is authorised to set up such criteria? And to whom does a worldview have to be acceptable?Most people I know adhere to faiths that are logically inconsistent to a nonbeliever. That is how I see the worldviews of my Catholic and JW friends and relatives. But faith is not about logic, consistency and pragmatism. Is it?

Hi Phatboy,The main point I was trying to make is that logic is only one possible ingredient that contributes to an individual's worldview. Many of us don't articulate our worldview, let alone analyze or critique it, and so don't even notice conflicting or unclear aspects. So long as it "feels right", or comfortable.Like Dan, I think our fears, and whatever we need to keep them at bay, have a lot to do with it.
That's why I enjoy the way this forum challenges us to examine ourselves.The chart is certainly easier to read than the middle two websites! I'll respond more detail when I've done a bit of research, but for now, although I don't deny the possible existence of absolute truths, I cannot imagine how we'd recognise one.
