Looking back, you literally took me entirely out of context with your quote too. I said to check a source's reputation and compare it to neutral sources that don't have any discernible bias. I gave Reuters as an example since most of what they do is gather information and rely it.
I didn't say...
Are you saying that white nationalists are beacons of honest journalism? I'm arguing from track records. The fact that the vast majority of the sources are heavily biased in an extreme direction is an indication that we can't take the sources at face value.
I actually advocated for NEUTRAL...
I just checked the sources, other than the wordpress.com site with just a subdomain (come on really?) and the two token guardian articles, all of these are deeply conservative with at least 3 of them being tied with the alt-right and white nationalists.
Again people, check the reputation of the...
Some of the OP"s sources have white nationalism ties:
The Daily Caller Has A White Nationalist Problem
And another (Zero Hedge) has dabbled in some conspiracy theories and there is this gem:
"You could ask some of the same questions about the alt-right, the loosely assembled far-right...
I don't really understand the question. Unless someone thinks that this world we perceive and interact with isn't the real one, reality would be that which is real/concrete, which obviously we are experiencing. Since you didnt' seem to imply any kind of false-reality we are living in I won't...
None of these work for me. I believe to an extent other gods exist as people experience them. Nothing would be unusual for me to encounter something, even a deity convinced of it's superiority and so I could dismiss it. I've dismissed crazier demands from seeming deities before.
A spiritual...
This was released in 1994 and it's data is from 1977 to 1993. So the most recent source you gave is twenty-four years old. And it was 11 percent with no indication of that being from policy.
If we could find some indication that this was policy or that in practice there was more segregation...
So uh, I have family and even neighbors who are landlords (one owns literally about 8 houses) and I've talked with them a lot about it and I'm usually on the up and up of the law as I've essentially sub leased a few times or helped others with finding apartments.
That's blatantly illegal if...
Touching on my last post (#57) this answer to his question isn't valid in all instances, for example it ignores the very adequate grounds accumulated from thousands of years of study of Hindu and Indian Philosophy.
To say that this is not a valid view because it doesn't conform to western...
Although different schools of Hinduism will vary on the details of the underlying nature of reality what we do all mostly agree on is the nature of deities.
The qualities, domains, likes and dislikes of the variious deities are well known and agreed upon. Kali's nature is of time and death, and...
While possible it's not necessarily the case since it's also possible that mental events are akin to a highly advanced electro-chemical analog counterpart of a computer in terms of how it works.
I guess we could say even then that the physical interactions give rise to the mental but then we...
Embrace the Darkness. Praise His Darkness. (just something of mine)
Okay, but some real advice;
When I became a Satanist, I did kinda dive too much head in magically but sometimes you need to do that. It all really depends on what kind of person you are.
I will give you some advice: be...
There's a lot of soft melodies in rock and metal. It just depends on the genre of it. There's entire genres based around being very melodic actually...
Maybe if it otherwise had little basis in fact... IIRC they had actual sanskrit up on the screen too at one point. It would be kind of jarring...
I think there's a problem starting in 3b since it doesn't address why the self has to be nonphysical. A lot of physical things have different properties from other physical things, and in the rest of point 3 it doesn't explain how or why those things are true of the self, it just asserts them...
Worship, etymologically anyway, means to have adoration or deep respect for something. So uh, the answer is yes, at least in that sense of the word.
I should qualify that, however, with the fact that it has to be truly awesome, awe-inspiring. Maybe it's more so that awesome things are the...
Because he's awesome?
More theologically and less strictly Bhakti, because Shiva is ourselves realized. Worship is the means to an end, realization of reality through devotion. A little more involved to explain but the deity helps one realize liberation even though the deity itself isn't of...
I'm actually glad you had suggested this as it's been a while since I first explored classical Indian music. Is there anything in particular you would suggest? I'm looking around again trying to remember what I had listened to in the past. I know I listened to the Northern style as it tended to...
