Anomalous,
Something like pollution or something like damaging the fine balance that human society is based and succeded on, ie. religion. Destroy the religion and U turn humans into demons.
That, I must say, is a very deep answer, it goes to the very heart of the whole concept of evil, as opposed to the superficial, yet accurate, definitions commonly cited. Admitedly it did not directly answer my question, but the answer lies therein.
You don't come across as "religious" person in the ordinary sense of the word, yet you regard religion as one example as a fundamental, necessary requirement, of human beings.
Why/How have you come to that conclusion?
May be U r right, may be god punished me for what I did to U 1.5 years ago.
I'm not entirely sure what you did to me 1.5 years ago, but it could not have been anything bad as I did not recieve any damage during that time.
If you do something to someone, then it can only be, wholly, qualified when the recipient feels the consequence of the action, I would have thought.
Do you feel better as a result of your "punishnment"?
Nothing, its a feeling or a belief to be precise. Its what drives U to debate and take on the entire sciforums wolfpack biteing U from all sides without a budge from your stance, some call it stubornness, as I see it, U have a good reason behind it for sure.
The reason is that I really do want an explanation.
The "biting" as you call it, reveals a sense of desparation within the offenders, a sense of defending their patch. I get the feeling that these (sometimes violent) outbursts are gradually progressing, and will become a part of human society, eventually engulfing it.
In reality, I cannot be affected by their onslaught, because I know it is not directly aimed at me. How could it be? It is aimed at anyone who disagrees or dares to question their ideas and ideals, it is, or has become, their natural reaction.
Its quite possible because we will never know how everything begun.
That's completely fair enough, and also the purpose of religion.
Thats possible , very possible if I want to, but I dont.
I should inform you that I am a male not a female. Ordinarily it doesn't matter how people view me, but I do draw the line at males becoming romantically interested in me. I hope this revelation has no effect on our future discussions, as I find your position very interesting.
The name Jan Ardena comes from a name of God, Jannardana.
From MacroEvolution.
Just kidding, I think in todays world there two species of humans
1) Religious
2) Scientific
Is this situation the result of purely natural forces, or the result of design in your opinion?
I am the third one by not taking anyone side.
Then where do you reside in the subject matter?
Now thats a tricky question for some one like me. Heres what I have to say, ready carefully.
IF I were GOD and wanted to create the world instantly, then being GOD I would create the world along with the fossils that this thread is batteling with. So basically if god creates everything then that should include all the scientific theories too.
That's an interesting point. Why would you (as God) do that? Especially as fossilisation takes place naturally anyway, and man has the ability to seek knowledge outside his animalistic nature. It would be like predetermining your offsprings moves and leading them to believe they are doing it by their own merit. What would be the point of that?
May be because of my battel of loosing my near and dear ones, after which I realized the true value of life is to support for what others value;
That is a harsh reality, in (human) life, to lose nears and dears, it can cut you like a knife.
I hope you have come to terms with it.
So I have learnt now that its not a good idea to hurt anyone based on their beliefs; everyone is free to believe and do what they want as long as it does not infrenge on others freedom.
This is indeed a good philosophy, IMO.
And also not to pull them into debate from other threads by hurting their ego.
If you are referring to mountainhare?
He cannot hurt my ego, only my false ego, (the person that I think I am) if I let him. There is alot to learn from his and others hostility.
...the egoistic battel where I argue just to prove that I am better, to prove my superioirty by supressing what others feel important and spreading unhappiness in the process. Hence now I am focused on happiness of mine and more than mine of others as thats the secret of true happiness.
Good for you.
Jan.
