The body has a subconscious belief?

Are you now posing some new age quantum concept that the various, distinct parts of the body have a mind of their own? Will you then pose that various body organs have religious beliefs as well?

Okay, you have a subconscious belief.

Taking his "logec" to the next level, they would have to.
Now what happens when you get body parts having conflicting religious beliefs?

Hmmm....
Politicians tend to come to mind rather quickly.

Because, as a human being, you are wired for belief. All of us are, and none of us are immune to it. It may not be religious in nature, but it is belief.

Step outside tonight and look up at the stars. Pick any one out randomly. How far away is it? Look it up if you like. You either made this observation yourself, or someone else did for you. Either way, in the end, you will have a belief on how far away that star is because you personally can not verify its position.

If you took someone else's answer, that is what we call faith.

How and why do SSRIs work? Think about it? When a person takes Lexapro or Paxil what happens to make it work? Its absorbed at some level into the synapses... then what? Who knows? Nobody, but it works. But you are going to have a belief on how it works, because you know it works.

You are going to assume an answer and incorporate that answer into your world view. That is both faith and belief. All humans do this at one level or another and they do it across the spectrum of knowledge. Why? Because there is simply too much information to know to genuinely understand how all things work.

It may not be religious, but you have faith, you have belief. Welcome to the human race.

Wrong. I don't have to have faith or belief. Knowledge and thoughts are more than enough for me to survive. Secondly, I define myself and I never said that I was a human being.

What do I need to prove to you?
That you are religious? I have already done that.

"Religious: Of or pertaining to religion

Religion: a specific fundamental set of beliefs and practices generally agreed upon by a number of persons or sects:*
Dictionary.com
note the word generally doesn't mean always

Belief: something believed; an opinion or conviction: a belief that the earth is flat.
Dictionary.com"

So long as you have an opinion, conviction, or trust in anyone, you have a belief, and as long as you have a belief you have a religion, and as long as you have a religion you are religious.

I disagree, therfore I still think you're wrong. In conclusion you haven't proved anything to me.

This is one of the most ridiculous assertions I've ever seen on RF, and for RF, that's saying LOT.

I second this.

I do not live by faith or belief.

It is entirely possible to live and walk by "as if's".




It's much easier to deconstruct and reconstruct that way.

Some of us like that game.
