    I'm Voting Libertarian This Year

    My, you are certainly full of self contradictions! I’m sorry you are unable to perceive logical incongruities much less apply them to self reflection. I will waste no more time.

    What is it you perceive as my “trying to win”?

    I'm Voting Libertarian This Year

    In what way do you interpret anger on my part? You aren’t confusing “vote democrat or else” as my sentiment I trust? That was an unwarranted assumption from @Heyo that I was quoting in order to dispel. I’m attempting to understand….. But due to lack of any clear logic being involved on your...

    I'm Voting Libertarian This Year

    You are the one who offered up the alternative of Biden or Trump and indicated that was the basis of your decision…… So if by some extraordinary chance Trump doesn’t become the Republican nominee, would your decision then be subject to change depending on who that nominee was? Your choice of a...

    I'm Voting Libertarian This Year

    “Vote democrat or else”: This would be an ultimatum. Fear mongering is manipulation by using exaggerated rumors of impending danger to cause fear. Nowhere did I give an ultimatum nor fear monger. What I did was suggest in order to live up to his self moniker of “Pragmatic Libertarian”, that...

    How do you interpret what I said as fear mongering?

    I'm Voting Libertarian This Year

    We’re not talking about “The Truth” here. We’re talking about probabilities and likelihoods. Biden won Michigan by 3 points in 2020. Current polls show him down by 8 points, with only 3% saying they would vote for another (3rd) candidate. So either Trump or Biden will take Michigan. If you...

    Male Gay Characteristics

    Presuming you don’t outwardly project stereotypical tendencies. Perhaps if she was aware of your not succumbing to another woman’s advances, and a lack of attempting to seduce her…. if you add some hubris on her part, she may write that off in her mind as “well then, he must be gay”?

    I'm Voting Libertarian This Year

    I see you describe yourself as a “Pragmatic Libertarian”. My understanding of the word “pragmatic” is: Advocating behavior that is dictated more by practical consequences than by theory or dogma. Yet the reasoning you adopt as causal for your protest vote seems to be antithetical to it. Since...

    So sayeth……who? Your crystal ball? Nostradamus? The little voices in your head? Pray tell, o soothsayer, when do you anticipate this “godless age” to commence and how long might it last before it succumbs to ruin? Would this be the current age where religious disunity (which of course is...

    What if we accepted each others Religion?

    Simple really: Start with a presupposition of a god, add some credulity, mix in a heaping portion of confirmation bias, stir in some cultural influences, bake in some circular reasoning from your favorite scriptures, sprinkle in some perceived revelation to taste, let stew, smooth out with...

    What if we accepted each others Religion?

    Of course, and I stipulated (thank you for asking for clarification) which definition I be was using. (I presumed it would be evident from context) That’s the point. Many (if not most) do claim that their scriptures are authentic in the sense of… ”accurate in representation of the facts...

    What if we accepted each others Religion?

    Using your words……not mine. I’ve never seen any objective evidence of a god existing; only a multitude of different peoples claiming their understanding of a god is the actual god and that everyone else has it wrong. (Sound like anybody you know?) Unfortunately, each claim their scriptures as...

    What if we accepted each others Religion?

    And of course your faith is the one faith that “accepts” the “essence of all the messages” and exclusively so……..right? But only your faith exclusively manages to compile the entire list……the rest are just cogs in your faiths wheel……..right? Or in other words: ”the realisation that God is One...

    What if we accepted each others Religion?

    So you’re saying that you don’t see the statement……“the realisation that God is One and there is no exclusive faith” has been shown to actually mean……”the realisation that God is One and there is no other exclusive faith other than mine”….by the majority of those that might utter such a phrase……...

    What if we accepted each others Religion?

    I am fully aware of interfaith trends in the US and Western Europe on the rise on the coat tails of the rise of the “Nones”. As per Hartford International; (Changing U.S. Demographics and the Impact on Interfaith Dialogue) “Part of that change can be attributed to cultural upheavals that...

    What if we accepted each others Religion?

    This is why I didn’t include that portion of the statement: And instead only on the part: The part about “being made of the same dust” (or “created from the same dust” per @TransmutingSoul) is immaterial to the stated goal of achieving “the oneness of humanity”. Regardless of how we may or...

    What if we accepted each others Religion?

    “Unity has to be based on the oneness of humanity”; this stated goal does not rely on religion which has proven throughout history to be antithetical to it. “It needs the realisation of a animating creative force” is where religions run into trouble; since there is not objective evidence to...

    What if we accepted each others Religion?

    I agree the world needs a new approach. Due to the fact that….“the realisation that God is One and there is no exclusive faith”…… has been shown throughout history, up to and including the present and foreseeable future, to actually mean……”the realisation that God is One and there is no other...
