I was addressing you and others that share your point of view. You claim that my analysis is superficial but you're wrong. You see, there are paterns within morality and ethics that are confined to certain parameters. Moral absolutism predicts the existence of such paterns with good and evil as the confining parameters. I recognized a pattern within your post, namely your believe that you create your own truth. Ironically such a believe is incompatible with your moral absolutism. Perhaps hypocricy is not confined to the "religious mystics" you choose to attack. Furthermore you make the wrong assumption that God is unknowable, unseeable or unprovable. I have seen proof that God exists and I have spoken with others that know such evidence exists within their own lifes. But why would I share such an experience with someone who condemns me to an asylum?
At least you recognize that it is the same message. That's progress. Eventually you will recognize it as true. Jesus
It's called revelation. It's an intensely personal experience that is beyond words. It helps you move from perception back to certain knowledge. Jesus
Yes, for the believer, all received truth is unassailable and all non-believers are sinners. We've heard all of it before, and in recent years we have heard it from people who have said that as a result of it, they will be trying to murder us. By the way, you should look up the definition of 'irony'. You seem to be unaware of its meaning.
____________________________________________ Irony = "All the different senses of irony revolve around the perceived notion of an incongruity, or a gap, between an understanding of reality, or expectation of a reality, and what actually happens. Your being "judgemental" and calling it "observant" is that incongruity.
Yours isn't the same message. It's just another different fantasy story on a theme. First though, I would have to recognize Jack and the Beanstalk story as true. That's because the Jesus fables, yours and others, are even more far fetched.
i wonder how many pages this one will run??? certainly not in the hundreds again..I mean how can you guys keep regurgitating the same thing.....the bottom line is that some believe and others dont...that doesn't make anyone right or wrong...again its called FAITH ( and both camps are using it ) ...of course some more than others... I guess i just choose to think, want to think, believe, have faith, acknowledge that everything around us didnt make it here by chance...I could be 100% incorrect or 100% correct...
