You answer my question first and maybe I will explain "so what".
You may think that but you are wrong yet again and examples litter a multitude of threads so much so that there is no need for me to even be specific.
Pleading guilty may see you judged less harshly and let off with a stern warning.
And I think we could have good discussions if you did.
So its all my fault?
Could some blame lay with you...a percentage at least..maybe 95% and that is 5% more than others here would extend ..so take it before I change my mind.
You are definitely off my Christmas card list.
You realise that you have ruined xmas for me.
Your evasion has been noted by the way.
Damn and here is me thinking that I got away with it.
Are you saying complex, specified information doesn’t come from a mind?
No I am saying you just cant make things up and expect them to be true.
Being only interested in research you think justify your worldview, is not scientific
I am interested in many things so many I cant list them all here.
My interest in history is much wider than studying the various fake human gods and their relationship to astrology.
I do like studying the various human species and ancient civilizations.
The human family starting back 2 million years ago is interesting...early tools is facinating.
As you know I like astronomy and photography particularly astro photography.
Not much into sport other real mans sports such as cage fighting and motocross and chess.
I have more of a universe view...it is eternal.
Standard indoctrined response yet again.
So you got nothing.
You reject and deny God, which means you have to convince yourself that there is a reason for it. That reason is based on faith, as you have no real evidence to support your conviction.
I have no need to deny or reject something that can not exist because the universe is eternal ...
Eternal universe is profound ...eternal creator is not foumd.
Albert Einstein once stated after being asked if he accepted the historical account of Jesus:
“Unquestionably! No one can read the Gospels without feeling the actual presence of Jesus. His personality pulsates in every word. No myth is filled with such life.”
You must know I have no respect for the quotes of others.
He said there were no black holes yet his own geometry says they must exist.
His comments were no doubt what his audience wanted and clearly that statement did not reflect his real view. ..maybe he was the guest if honor at a catholic school or university when he said that...tell me where did he say that and who was his audience...anyone know?
Still I will say the JC con is well thought out and one can find useful stratagies for a stress free interaction with humans but the fact remains JC was a myth and that is inescapable.
Its like believing Sherlock Homes was a great detective with great strategies ...well sure but he also is a myth.
Look writers think they have something to tell the world but knowing of themselves that they are just unintetesting folk who dont have a real life they will pretend to be someone else knowing no one would be interested if they presented their ideas as their own.
Using a fictional character to get your ideas across is not uncommon.
And probably the sortta views a nerd would have in wishing the world was fair and pushing a non violent approach...that is what you could expect and that is what we see.
But it really isn’t worth wasting time over, as you’re going to cling to it, like Darwinian evolution, to justify your world view.
I recomend you ignore it and hope it will go away...oh wait that has been your approach from the begining...good luck it wont work...there is too much evidence for both.
Now that’s what theists regard as a religion.
I know but its science ..it is them who confuse it with religion but only because it makes their version look stupid and made up.
Its science and that is all we can say.
The things you mentioned in your quote, aren’t religions.
Mmmm I dont know why I didnt say as much.
What I mean is that religion is the way we live our lives. Our conscious, and subconscious, relationship with the world, and any of its occupants we interact with. It goes a lot further than just claiming to be religious.
OK I know what you are trying to say but is there not a better word to describe what you see...
Religion implies a god before anything else.
Moral code, character and outlook need not be religious.
The opposite to religion is or religion.
????
Generally people have the idea that religion is only so if deities are worshiped because that is what it been reduced to in the mainstream.
Well I certainly thought the presence of a god in the mix caused something to be called a religion.
But what is the practical difference between idolising a picture of a descended wife, and idolising a picture of Joseph Smith. The processes are the same. The only difference is the object
I dont see your point other than to include as religious things I consider are not religious.
You dont seem to consider a god relevant.
I see what you are driving at but you need to find another word to describe what you see.
I have my codes etc but its not a religion.
