@"praxis" praxis, when I went into the monastery I threw in the garbage years of drawings and writings that I had done stoned. But after stopping ever...

@"unenlightened" unenlightened, “love” is not the greatest thing when there is a chance to disarm someone pointing a gun at your head. Singing kumbaya...

@"emancipate" emancipate, to ask a question that has already been answered is kinda dumb. Did you not read my long post about a “Baptism of Tears”? If...

@"Janus" Janus, a critical examination of my posts would reveal that I came here writing about a metaphysical principle and not about revelation, and ...

@"Joshs" See, Joshs?

Srap, your diatribe displays an incredible lack of imagination. It’s obvious to me that why I came here isn’t really important when compared to where ...

MU, I explained the principle step by step showing that I understand it very well. You ignored these steps, Now you’re accusing me of just repeating i...

@"Tom Storm" Sounds good, Tom. Anytime you have an idea you want to hash out or see something going on here, just chime in. It is said that the best a...

@"Joshs" Joshs, I am actually quite a veteran of forums such as this. Sam Harris has two forums, Project Reason & Sam Harris, that I spent many years ...

@"praxis" praxis, it's honestly hard to understand what you write. If you're stoned on weed, that would be quite disrespectful to anyone taking the ti...

"You keep mentioning your credentials and vast mystical experience and in doing so it appears as though being seen as an authority is very important t...

@"Hanover" I figured it out. Thanks for your help.

@"Srap Tasmaner" Srap, yesterday you asked me a question about how I discovered the principle. I took the time to answer you. It was a respectful and ...

@"Bret Bernhoft" Bret, I forgot to respond to you. You're a rare bird to have understood and appreciated the principle. Thanks for that.

T Clark, now go back and copy the sentences from your "friends" that prompted these responses, which you dishonestly edited to your own benefit and th...

I think the question of how Greek Philosophy gave to Christianity its intellectual foundation is a good one. Jesus was a carpenter, not an academic. T...

unenlightened, you haven't really read through the thread, have you? For if you had, you would probably judge me to be respectful for most of the time...

praxis, how many times have you told others that God doesn't exist? What are your credentials for doing so? Did you spend five years in a monastery as...

javi, God is the highest mountain I climb, not the rocks along the way. All my concerns down here don’t go away because I can see the mountain top.

Joshs, that was a really great theological and philosophical movement. Kierkegaard was a mystic who arrived at many of the same places I did by taking...

MU, you simply can’t get out of your head. If I have to “define” for you how a living being is greater than a material object, then you’re not in touc...

javi, you wrote: I do not want share the space my box with such useless thing. The brackets are the corrections. But since English is your second lang...

Joshs, do you know the difference between an evangelical conservative Christian and a scholastically trained theologian and philosopher? It’s quite va...

T Clark, then I gave him some good advice. And the regulars on this forum don’t speak for the forum. The owner of this forum and the administrators do...

Joshs, did you see the new Beatles documentary? I watched every minute of it and enjoyed it immensely. But I couldn’t look at John for too long becaus...

javi, proofread so your nonsense so it isn’t even more painful to read.

emancipate, I told you that I have spent decades experiencing God, and you replied that “no one experiences God”. So you implied that I was either lyi...

MU, everything you’re saying is basically true. But it’s also off track because all I’m trying to get at is that the principle logically answers and p...

emancipate, you didn’t just call me a liar or delusional for claiming to have received from God a direct revelation, you called everyone throughout th...

Boys, you’re gathering together now because you feel the same uneasiness. I know you all have put God in a safe little box. But you should understand ...

You’re welcome, Tom

jgil, why don’t you go to the lounge. Experience is a philosophical necessity in any claim of knowledge. The “thing” I wrote above should have opened ...

Garrett, you couldn’t disturb me even a little bit. I’m not talking about ideas in my head. You are, as your manifesto shows. Your atheist talking poi...

Garrett, you're the perfect example of a person who is so filled with pride and self-love that he will only trust the thoughts bouncing off the top of...

Tom, it's not my system. I'm telling you what you have heard before -- Love God and love your neighbor as yourself. Humanists love their neighbor, but...

It's good that you guys are talking to each other. You certainly haven't been listening to me. Even Neil Degrasse Tyson said that Dark Energy is prett...

praxis, which is it? Are those things independent of each other or relying on each other? And your premise that you couldn’t possibly know, that God i...

Szasz who, 180? My heroes are greater.

javi, do you experience love? If you do, then it is a thing in your life, and therefore can be argued as a thing in a philosophical debate. Who is the...

emancipate, I’ve given many. So, again — Life is greater than the elements, and thought is greater than life, and love is greater than thought, and Go...

T Clark, your judgment of me only matters to the extent that you are acting in good faith. But you’re reaching out for support of like minds and admin...

dimo, if you have been telling yourself for so very long that the points you make are the only points worth making, then you’ll probably live the rest...

javi, I said the “first” place, for only after our hearts are in the right place will our minds be. Learn to read … and to proofread.

Janus, your question displays your lack of understanding of what God's omnipotence means. God is the greatest being we can imagine, but our imaginatio...

Mww, so I'm not aware, I'm repetitious, I'm drawing attention to myself, I'm not interesting ... You feel better now? Your work is done. You put me an...

Bartricks, "people like us"? What kind of people should God have created? Winged angels? He did. But angels watch us in awe, for we stand between eter...

salamander, you’re right on track. Good for you, really. This principle was formulated by Father Marius Schneider over fifty years ago by him taking h...

jgill, equating God with religion in a philosophy forum is rather ridiculous. I have been quite clear that a greater thing is greater in reality, not ...

T Clark, Your judgement of my contributions here so far isn't really much of a thing, now is it?

dimo, if you're so sure of your thinking you wouldn't get rattled and emotional when it gets upended. Science uses metaphysical principles to function...
