You feel that way, but that wasn't my intent. There is no way for you to make that judgementI necessarily have the passion for writing this, and you have the passion for condemning me; both of us are equally fools, equally the toys of destiny. Your nature is to do harm, mine is to love truth, and to make it public in spite of you. - Voltaire0 -

neither one of these is a belief system without form so your question is beside the point.
If a person's vision is fuzzy and color-blind they might call a baseball an orange. If someone is insane, they are wrong about a lot of things.I necessarily have the passion for writing this, and you have the passion for condemning me; both of us are equally fools, equally the toys of destiny.

I mean, I don't have a problem with any of that stuff.
You don't know me in the slightest bit.
When I was 15, people beat me up constantly, even though I had gang ties and stuff, I let it go. Why? I didn't blame them. Maybe I am more progressed than you are. I mean, you always say you are more progressed than me.

All your statements may be true, but it doesn't change my observation that your question is beside the point when it comes to this discussion.
I assume you were trying to be like a lawyer and ask a question to get you to a specific answer which you could then disprove...I can easily see you were trying to get someone to pick one item over the other because of the # of agreeing people, blah, blah, blah...but again, it is beside the point because a solid object like an orange or a baseball is indeed one thing or the other and it can not be used as a replacement for something that is not solid.
I think discussing this further is really a waste of time.&&&&&&&&&&&&&&0 -
angelica wrote:Yes there is. I call it observation and perception. You may not understand emotional perceptivity. Anyone with an ounce of perception can see what you are doing with your lame insults.
They think they can, but that is their perception, largely driven my their emotions. Your perception is wrong Angelica.I necessarily have the passion for writing this, and you have the passion for condemning me; both of us are equally fools, equally the toys of destiny.

Did I talk about nihilism too much or something?
You were saying that objective truth doesn't exist in form of beliefs. But wether a person believes the object is a baseball or an orange is an example. It wasn't about majority opinion, because if we were talking about God, that would prove God exists, right? So it's a bit more complicated than all of that.I necessarily have the passion for writing this, and you have the passion for condemning me; both of us are equally fools, equally the toys of destiny.

You and your son are kidnapped by militants in a foreign country. Your captors put a noose around your son's neck and place a chair beneath his feet to hold him up. They tell you to pull the chair out or you will both die.
What do you do?
A cruise ship crashes into an iceberg. The captain and passangers all board a safety boat. At some point the captain realizes that the boat can't hold all the passengers. The captain decides some people must be thrown overboard. One passenger suggests they choose randomly, but the captain decides the strongest will be needed to row to shore. So he chucks the weakest passengers overboard. After they row safely to shore, the captain is charged and you are the judge.

I was hoping for some more Religion/godmen comparisons.
Me spirituality shopping and all as I am.
sidebar: am I the only one who thinks it's ironic that there's a whole bunch of interaction in this thread that should have been delivered by pm? And that he who complains the loudest about the rest of us hijacking threads seems to be the biggest perpetrator?NOPE!!!
