Gordon Stinky had a great post about BS faith promoting stories, but I would like to take a different angle.
All faith promoting stories prove nothing, even if they are entirely true. That's because they seek to affirm the meaning of an event, not disprove a proposed explanation for it.
For example, a person in business does the right thing and is rewarded. So what about a person who does the right thing and is not rewarded or is punished? What about a person who does the wrong thing yet gets rewarded?
Faith promoting stories prove nothing and should not be used as a basis for making decisions about life. Yet we know they are misused that way. Why are they so appealing?
