Uh oh. Great - thank you for admitting to this reality. You are describing Muhammad here. In fact, the expression "Allahu akbar!" means "Allah is grea...
Could you really not sense the sarcasm? -.- It was not serious. Serious now: only those who "believe" to know good/evil think in terms of it, and with...
This is precisely my point: people would rather justify their hatred for Trump than anything else. Hatred is not a virtue - it is a blinding agent. A ...
I tend to do that, sorry. Which part? Let me guess: all of it? I have more, but there are too many people who would rather justify their hatred for Tr...
Taking it step-by-step. >.< sorry, can not grant that assumption. Okay, but only for the sake of argument. Well, the Abrahamic god already did somethi...
I like this response very much. Perhaps freedom is the default state, and bondage only comes by way of "belief". One can "believe" they are not free i...
See: https://www.sikhnet.com/news/islamic-india-biggest-holocaust-world-history and https://www.politicalislam.com/tears-of-jihad/ excerpt from the la...
If there is a "belief"-based state responsible for the genocide of hundreds of millions, that is an observation. Demonisation would be using it as a r...
You're missing the point: the point is to *not* objectively define good and/or evil. In doing so, one invites a potential for polarization: "us" (ie. ...
It doesn't matter - most Muslims either can not read at all and/or have not read any book but the Qur'an. It also doesn't matter because a Muslim will...
If I am reading this correctly, empathizing with others places the one who is empathizing in a state of suffering for their knowing of others' sufferi...
No, and I do not understand the point you are trying to make. It might depend on who is reading it and how much they tend to blame others for things t...
No, I do not, actually. I attempted to clarify, and will do so again shortly. I actually do not have an idea of who "these people" are and/or why "the...
Based on your usage, it's not immediately obvious to me that you understand what the word 'hypocrite' actually means. Hypocrisy would be denouncing ma...
Thank you for the comment - I'll use it to make a point. The quality of the conscience can be measured by the quality of the questions it can address....
My use of the term 'censorship' is meant to apply to content that is relevant but controversial, as could be the case with my topics (still unknown). ...
Sorry for the delay, I have been out and about recently. I understand the optics might suggest so: perhaps I can clarify so as to highlight my real mo...
Just to point out this is actually true - I experience sound(s) as shape(s), and so naturally reduce music and literature into the basic form(s) which...
It is good insight, especially the "neutral" designation which I find most important of all. If "God" is to be reconciled as "one God" it must necessa...
The problem with Christianity is it is itself idolatrous: utilizing a male central figure whose own individual conduct serves as a basis for a 'state'...
Clearly, you are not. An enlightened being doesn't claim they are enlightened and/or wear it as a badge - that's rather a way to tell one is not enlig...
Not intending to be mean, but I feel you are describing yourself here, given you are accusing others of being "pedantic" while attempting to correct a...
@jamalrob deleted at least one I found. So, you can PM him or he may respond here. Can I ask two questions? Is it possible to send me a copy/paste of ...
W It is technically not possible to be anywhere else other than the present - if one means to say pay attention to the immediate present, this would p...
Interesting - this is more or less what I had in mind while advancing solutions for the original sin and good/evil: apply them as (if) an axiom in ord...
It really depends on ones definition/usage of 'idolator'. I probably understand this word (and practice) much differently than most, especially in it ...
"Belief" is not so much a virtue as "knowing" who, what, where, why, when, how, and/or if *not* to "believe" and why. "Belief" is the agency required ...
That is good - if there is attention paid to the handling of 'knowledge' such that there are takes and handles, perhaps the disciplines responsible fo...
It is not intentionally misleading, it is due to a mishandling of 'knowledge'. It's the treatment of what knowledge actually is (or is not) that is it...
It does not *only* apply to me, it applies to anyone. But yes - implicit is the assumption "I know..." is not being mistaken as "I believe I know..." ...
But why focus on the person at all? Would not the more sound one be whoever is last to resolve to personal attacks? I understand arguments are made by...
Yeah... this is not coherent to me. Not to say it is not: if even only to me and no else, it is just not coherent to me. With no offense intended to p...
Beautiful response. And again... your reference to fear here struck me here, I hope you do not mind it serving as a basis for what follows. This inter...
A beautiful response, thank you. Another beautiful response - thank you for sharing this. I have a few books on the Hebrew letters themselves, one of ...
I think this is unsafe. I agree there is no proof that such a 'being' exists, because as you say there is no proof. The same applies to god. But suppo...
Placing the actual existence of god aside, even if granting true, might the "disobedience" come by way as a product of dwelling in negative emotions? ...
"What knowing feels like..." I find knowledge is in knowing the who, what, where, why, when and how *not* to "believe" (in) something by virtue of eit...
I'll have at it. if(//state=belief) possibility of "believing" evil is good (equiv.: satan is god) =1, else=0 if(//state=knowing; non-belief) possibil...
This is not coherent to me... where does it come from? Is this held as an axiom? If all knowing *is* belief, what does this say of ignorance? Is ignor...
Yes - I link it to the general idea that "Canaanites" (ie. mark of Kain) attempt to scapegoat the iniquities of their own tribe/house and accuse their...
But we must keep in mind we are dealing with the virtuosity of "belief". If even granting knowledge is arrived at as a subset of "beliefs", this still...
...no, not someone's belief. Belief itself as an agency and/or 'state of being'. See, the "belief" itself matters not - not a particular "belief", but...
I agree 'being' implies and necessarily indicates continuity. I do not see 'belief' implying or necessarily indicating "segmentation". Can one not be ...
There are a lot of terms here I am either unfamiliar with or don't share an understanding with, so I will just clarify what my understanding of Satan ...
I find not only does Jesus (and Muhammad) qualify as idols, I find both Christianity and Islam require a necessarily false testimony (as contrary to t...
