    The Coronation of Christian King Charles III

    Officially, our Monarchy is no longer political; its political powers were removed in the late 1600s and early 1700s. Today, its political involvement is symbolic. Officially, this separation in roles already is. Humbly, Hermit

    The Coronation of Christian King Charles III

    I think that the trouble with this is that our Monarch’s current role is as symbol and ambassador to “its kingdom” (we pay it to do this) and that “its kingdom” today consists of democratic nations, with religious freedom. It is difficult to justify why we cannot opt out from paying towards the...

    Where is God?

    I believe in God but to me, the question you pose is misphrased, because I’d say that we are in God. Humbly, Hermit

    Do you think there is a God? If so, why?

    I can only describe the god I believe in with help of analogy. Any description I give of God, is not meant literally. To use an analogy from our current times; God is “like” an intelligent, universal server, containing all existing data. In God, all information is “stored” and all that is...

    Temperance

    To me, temperance is about balance and balance is far from easy to always achieve. When we are balanced, it may go unnoticed but when we are unbalanced, it can certainly impacts us, our lives and that of those we share it with in less than subtle ways. Personally, I feel my best though inner...

    Right to Family and Care

    I cannot offer any help or comforting words on this subject, but I recognise that I am blessed not to have been born in America. I am deeply grateful for this circumstance of luck, entirely out of my power. Humbly, Hermit

    Why do some believe easily, others hardly at all?

    Most scientific research is built upon [data, analysis, results and conclusions in] previous, scientific research and rarely contains only first-hand data. As the basis for evidence in general, goes through the changes that it will; going forward, the value of the term itself shall have to...

    Ask a nondual "person"

    I guess, as a philosophical term… a perspective on reality? Ah! Perhaps this is what you mean too. For some reason, as I was reading, I had it in my head that you were referring to it as a form of self-identity -maybe because you had mentioned that other thread about non-binary- and I couldn’t...

    Pacifism

    This is where it gets hard, I think. For one can, through practice, find manners to overcome that which is done to oneself, but to passively witness it being done to another; that, is nearly unbearable (and feels instinctively wrong too). Humbly, Hermit

    Ask a nondual "person"

    Dear @SalixIncendium, I feel a fool, but “nondual” in which respect? I’ve tried to understand the context by reading the posts in this thread but I don’t think it’s clear to me and I’m now feeling most confused. Have you got the space to explain in your own words? I ask genuinely with no...

    What is nonbinary?

    Apologies @YoursTrue, I missed this question and only saw it now. Hermaphroditism (chromosomal condition) is known to have be found in non-hermaphrodite species, like dogs, people, etc. too. It’s rare but it does occur. Anyhow, that’s a physical thing. Gender, as mentioned, is not. Humbly...

    What is nonbinary?

    Okay, look at it this way. That duck you mentioned; did it have a gender? Because chances are, it only had a sex. Put in simple terms: A dog is a dog and a duck is a duck. Most dogs and ducks are of one sex (although let’s not exclude the odd exception). Nor dogs or ducks have gender. Gender...

    Italian Minister sparks row with "ethnic replacement" warning

    Honestly, I don’t think @ImmortalFlame was talking about the Italian people. It’s was just about you.

    Italian Minister sparks row with "ethnic replacement" warning

    An odd stand for you to take, considering how often you express your dislike of hypocrisy @Estro Felino. You’re saying that it’s fine that we stole the “new” world from its people, but let no one come to us and do the same? So many clichés (all true, at that!) coming to me now: “what comes...

    Italian Minister sparks row with "ethnic replacement" warning

    You mean like what we did to the native tribes of the “new world”? Gosh, it’s almost like… eh, karma. Do not be ridiculous.

    Italian Minister sparks row with "ethnic replacement" warning

    Those who are incapable of learning through empathy, shall learn from experience. That is a blessing that I, myself, did have to learn the hard way. I have faith that it shall come to you too.

    I thought you said our conclusions about you were unwarranted?

    Italian Minister sparks row with "ethnic replacement" warning

    And yet, you called your thread “ethnic replacement”; not “replacement migration”. Are you saying you equated those? Because the former is absolutely used by Europe’s neofascists to try to make people believe that there’s a hidden agenda amongst people of a “particular” ethnicity to “invade”...

    Italian Minister sparks row with "ethnic replacement" warning

    I believe we are aware of your opinions in this matter. I for one, find them disturbing and most destructive. I also believe that you will stick to your views regardless of any sensible arguments against them. Still, I will oppose them on here as often as I possibly can and hope very much that...
