I am not sure if humans seek *what's true" or "what works". However, I do agree with you that this is not a very straight-forward question. But, I thi...

I I disagree with this view and would like to present an alternative perspective on the matter. Firstly, it is important to acknowledge that our pursu...

Thanks!

Do scientists help nuclear bombs? Yes. Do scientists help create advanced weapons? Yes. But science is blind to these facts. Because it is a the ultim...

Redicule is the hallmark of a weak position. That is all I can say. And by the way, I was pointing out to not converting science into a new religion t...

People have this concept that a person with faith has no doubts. On the contrary, a person with faith is the one who is most full of doubts. But, he i...

The concept of God is a very broad concept. Everyone captures a very small portion of it. Not through our five senses through our hearts. That is a st...

Sounds like a new religion to me! Because this is what all religions would say before their downfall. The strength of the scientific method lies in it...

@"Wayfarer", interesting read.

@"180 Proof" what I meant to say was: Honestly, how do you distinguish between a fantasy and a non-fantasy? I hope we are clear I am not here to learn...

I totally agree with you. I was reacting to @"180 Proof" idea that they are just fantasies and they have much deeper meanings than that. They could be...

@"Wayfarer", thanks to your golden brain, knowledge and tongue expressing ideas at so much more fluidity and precision than me. How do you honestly di...

I thought I was clear I was NOT waiting for this. Can you tell me what you are responding to exactly? I am saying and my point is clear: corruption is...

Do I want a special status because I am a person with faith and a true believer in God? No. Am I holding myself on a pedestal and asking everyone to d...

I agree that these concepts do not have clear boundaries. There is no such a thing as a perfect person with faith. People with faith tend to be more r...

@"Ø implies everything" I am not sure I follow with what you are saying. Please, go back and read what I have said carefully as you seem to be seeking...

@"Tom Storm", the degree of faith in such movements is very little. Such movements can be blamed more on religion more than faith. I don't think that ...

@"Metamorphosis", I am not really sure that I should be really concerned with words. Words' purpose is to define meanings. I can tell you I love you w...

@"Wayfarer", thank you for the excellent read and thoughts. The links you shared described what I wanted to say with far more clarity, terminology and...

@"Vera Mont", well said

@"T Clark", what you are saying is that they need the support system to trust the world. Which pre-assumes, they are essentially afraid of the world s...

By the way, my first post did not get deleted. I just thought it got deleted.

@"Vera Mont", I agree with everything you said although I think there are different ways of saying the same thing. Can you please elaborate on what yo...

@"180 Proof" it is true that religion is based on fear. So, in a fear culture as you said that terrorizes its people and imposes heavy punishments, yo...

@"Banno" Yes you are partially in the making. Funny how you choose to be scientific or not scientific just to win an argument. Where do you bring this...

@"Tom Storm" It is a well-known fact that people who go through suicide attempts come closer to God and you can use a simple Google search to check. I...

@"Banno", okay, so the need to submit to higher powers is real. It is like when dogs are together, they have to bark on each other to find out who is ...

@"Banno" This is a very common misconception. God is not an oppression tool. And we don't want to be dominated. But, God is at the top of the hierarch...

I am not sure why is my arguments not clear or they lead to meaningless internet blather. Because you are not offering counter-arguments. Probably bec...

I think the problem is: religion. Anything that is dogmatic is dead and whatever turns into religion, becomes spoiled. Mindlessness is a state corrupt...

Look, I might view things differently. I don't get what is constructed and what is not? When you say, it is all a function of the mind and neurones an...
