Assume the lack of God and assume that's the scientific presumption. Assume, assume, assume: Science.

I'm saying we're both insane, whether God exists or not. I do happen to be a theist, but how can I live in congruence with that which I cannot fathom?...

Insanity is action incongruous with truth, so yes I'd argue everything human is insane to some degree. We don't have perspective to know the wherewith...

Uh...I don't care what you name God... I couldn't possibly be wrong if I'm right. I'm gonna go now and let you atheists try to solve the mystery of yo...

Shoulda figured you'd call me on that, but I disagree anyway. There are more things in Heaven and Earth, Horatio.

Lots of imaginary things are true. Unicorns, for example.

So existence isn't random or determined, but...arbitrary?

I am a theist, I believe in Holiness anyway...but how does God ever know that it wasn't created by the real God to believe it is God? And how does the...

lol It's so confusing. I'm out! Time to put this idiot to bed.

I don't think there is a gap. If X is possible, X is actual. There's no such thing as a possible thing that isn't actual, except in colloquial terms. ...

Unfortunately in a way that is rarely expounded upon in a fair manner. Perspective is a sense of knowing, but still knowing not. The end result existe...

I really just have no predisposition to the notion that it's nonexistence. It kind of irritates me when people act like that's the common sense approa...

I don't know, though, maybe it's a true story.

I just think maybe it's just a story to explain the difference between man and animals, but it's a little...contrived? Like, I don't believe there was...

Maybe, for some, if they get an inkling of the implications of the existence of the personality, it's easier to deny it as an illusion. It just seems ...

I mean, there is a clear distinction between zombies and humans, though. We can't be zombies. We have a special spark of life that makes us not-horrif...

Our God is an awesome God We pray to our awesome God today He's an awesome God and he Is an awesome God to me He's an awesome God we pray To our aweso...

Shouldn't you be busy putting razor blades in candy?

I mean isn't it really more so the ego's attachment to it's own thoughts. Thinking has always just been useful, but it's not a miracle worker. We work...

Even tails are 3-Dimensional. In all honesty I don't know what the fuck any of this actually is. Doors open, windows close, what's outside no one know...

I just think everything that exists is true. Lies are truly lies; truths are truly truths. Objectively speaking, it's all just really happening. To ta...

All I can add is that I believe memories aren't stored in the brain, but the actual empirical world, and that the process of recollecting the past is ...

I know this sounds fanciful, but since encountering God, I won't even name it. There is a world unseen, and that's all I'm comfortable saying. Back in...

I'm just saying, I'm a gnostic, and in my experience, God is not extreme. I know enough to know that I can't comprehend it, but am aware of a higher o...

Grandiose, but to me signifies nothing but the peacefulness of poetry, which God is.

There's just no way to use a brain to look at a brain and say, "This is what brains are like, according to my brains, and my brains must be right." I ...

Omnipotence guarantees only all power that actually exists. God can still be all-powerful and not be able to perform the paradoxical.

It is possible to believe things that are true.

When I say I believe something, it's usually something I know, just to be conducive to conversation.

Dude, you gotta watch "Sound of Music." That said, there's much to consider between how disjointed this all must be, yet how operable.

How do you solve a problem like Maria?

It's just my estimation. Physicalism implies something they weren't. The jury was out on God, and it still should be. We need to get corny.

Old fashioned scientists were too innocent to be likened to hardcore physicalists. It was a different time, a different mindset. There wasn't even coo...

I've been in this same mire all day. How do you forget the common sense that you have no idea the variables at play. Do we just believe what's conveni...

He or she would say simply what everyone can agree to, that abortion isn't beautiful, and though it's admittedly more complicated than simply "abortio...

All limited to the scope of preconceived "laws of thought." And the ego's crippling desire to be inerrant. "You talk about day...I'm talking about nig...

I don't necessarily blame the universities, but we all know ambition and ego poison the well. Don't ascribe any limits to reality, is a good suggestio...

I'm against the idea that there are "greats." Einstein wasn't concerned with being "great." That's folly. What concerns me deeply is our attitude towa...

The problem with academia is that it's pompous. Men are idolized and academics live vicariously through them. It's doomed to be a world apart from sim...

You're a real out of the box thinker. I can't make a cohesive argument without being logical, though.

I'm not sure there is such a thing, to be extremely anal. There are so many shades of gray.

We need to explore further. What a tangled web we weave, though. Invent new words at your leisure, some might catch on. Because there are salvations a...

I could entertain the concept that two alien realities once collided, resulting in sound and movement, but I don't see opposites per se. I don't see l...

As far as politics are concerned, we've kind of collectively agreed to the lie that it's supposed to be duplicitous. I think it's the concept that one...

I don't think, even were it proven to be a simulation, that the ultimate truth of everything could be "it's merely a simulation." Or that you'd yet be...

I'm of the opinion reality can't be understood, even with a language so esoteric as math. You can't possibly make things more self-evident than they m...

I'm missing the point I guess, because if 750nm=red, you're fundamentally saying red is red. It being a wavelength makes no difference if it's being a...

Consciousness is just primeval language, accidental communication. Matter becomes aware of "self" via influence of an "other," identity forming in thi...

It is all economics, but it's the economics of capitalist oligarchies that are destroying families. Consume, consume...trash the Earth and your neighb...

Work is for the poor. Period.
