Is this because you have a fear that life might be found “out there” which might suggest your beliefs are unfounded?
You apparently are unaware of the vast amounts of knowledge and technology, which has greatly improved the quality of life on this planet, that is direct result of the brain...
This statement by itself is nonsensical:
i.e. “My non-belief is the basis for my belief system.”
One needs to hold a belief in order to build a “belief system” around it.
You understand there is a difference between;
1.) “I believe X is not true”
And
2.) “I don’t believe X is true”
Yes?
With...
When you say
Yet, still insist that your evidence is “objective” confirms my suspicion of your self-deception on this matter.
Here again you pick the portion of the links that you provide yourself, without acknowledging the complete definition and instead cling to the portion that uses the...
Wow…..
When I started reading this post I was picturing a young student maybe a couple years into college.
So I glanced at the authors profile and was shocked to learn he is 65!
I am amazed at how short the memory and how poor the knowledge of history pervades the the citizenry of the US...
While I agree with you concerning the fact the law would mean he would be ineligible to hold future office, and I am convinced that he did in fact remove and conceal sensitive documents (that were not “declassified” as per his claim), it is unnecessary to attempt to “trump” up the evidence...
According to your beliefs from your point of view.
According to their beliefs from their points of view
you are disobedient to the “Holy Writings”.
When I said:
I notice you don’t deny that peace or unity have never been ushered in by the arrival of any
“new prophet”.
Instead you give your...
Pray tell, what kind of “scientist” are you?
I find it difficult to believe that someone who has been educated sufficiently to credibly be considered a scientist, doesn’t understand the concept of infinity, or believe that they alone could “know what is this infinite number”.
I fear your...
Trust me, I don’t require an explanation.
Apparently you do however.
First of all, you appear to have skipped the first half of the Bible….
Jews had a covenant with God.
Which caused divisions in Judea which led to derision and bloodshed (as depicted in the Bible).
Along comes a jew named...
“Infinity
Mathematical concept”
And
“Infinity is that which is boundless, endless, or larger than any natural number.”
“ In this usage, infinity is a mathematical concept, and infinite mathematical objects can be studied, manipulated, and used just like any other mathematical object.”
And
“The...
Along with thousands of other religions that disagree, thus continuing the divisions we see today, contributing to the lack of “inclusiveness” and exacerbating the conditions which preclude peace.
That’s funny.
Didn’t you say?:
These 2 statements don’t appear to jibe.
That’s the very problem of which I speak.
YOU think YOURS is a “true religion” and others are presumably “not true”.
THEY think THEIR’S is a “true religion” and YOUR’S is “not true”……
Thus the division.
Did you not say:
That sure sounds to me as though you are saying that your religion is...
The “not accepting written words as facts” is interesting.
In what form are the “variety of sources”?
Does it become more credible if it’s in a more easily edited or manipulated electronic medium than if it is written on paper?
Do you trust video over text?
It’s true, the fact something is...
Assuming that “peace” is an attainable goal;
Have you ever considered that the decline of religions and dissipation of fervent beliefs would go a long way towards dispersing divisions that foster the animosities that prevent that goal from being attained?
In my opinion, it has to do with the world being opened up with the advent of the internet and more wide spread availability of knowledge and communication with different points of view than those within a person’s close circle of social and cultural relations.
Religions tend to rely on...
Well, it’s at least refreshing to have somebody admit that the stance against abortions is in order to punish women specifically for having what they perceive to be irresponsible pleasurable sex!
Usually they try to hide it behind the pretext of the “right to life of a baby”, which is obviously...
As @Altfish said:
It’s a form of indoctrination.
Parents instill their beliefs, which as illustrated with:
Wherein the parents themselves had been indoctrinated into the religion which is part and parcel of the culture which reinforces the beliefs within that culture.
The more homogenous and...
Well, I was using your words:
My asking:
was an attempt to decipher YOUR meaning.
So allow me to try my question again:
When you say “what should be surprising is that there are so many anti Christian laws” that you say “you hear” of:
Do you mean any law that isn’t actively promoting...
Are you of the opinion that anything that isn’t actively promoting whatever you view to be “Christian values” is automatically and actively
anti-Christian?
I didn’t ask you what your theories are…..
I asked you how you came to your theories?…
What path did you follow to determine your theories?….
What led you to believe your theories?
