I’ve heard birds in the morning, but I wouldn’t say they were singing, however, there is nothing to stop me thinking that they’re singing.
Why do you have to demean the very meaning of existence by attributing that which we have to something supernatural?
Your use of “demean” is only your opinion, as far as I am concerned, that is neither my intention or action. If you read my post carefully, you will understand why I think formulating music is an act which falls outside of the mechanism of nature.
Every time i feel a thump at the door i could consider it to be aliens. To do so is foolishness is it not? If i attributed everything we have and everything that happens to little green men you'd assume me to be an idiot, why expect anything else in return?
I would consider you an idiot, if you seriously thought this statement, in any way, was connected to the point of my reply.
[/b]The fact is we need more than heresay, we need more than an old book.
I totally agree, this is why we need to develop our intelligence. An “old book” cannot give knowledge, but the knowledge, written inside, can.
We are that which has been created, so how could we ever be at fault?
You need to ask yourself that question.
I have refused my daughter being taught religious education. Many question me like i'm doing a bad thing. The facts of the matter remains: Nobody has the right to tell my daughter santa claus is fake over something with even less evidence. She will learn as she ages what, who, god is and if he's there. She will hear him if she wants to- and if not, she's not at fault- she's merely human.
You are doing what you feel is right, in order to protect your daughter, that is also knowledge ( science), but do you know for sure, that what you are doing is right, only you can effectively answer this.
To take away basic understanding and replace it with heresay, groundless speculation and assumption is not the way any person should be forced to proceed.
I totally agree, but I know what you are getting at.
Religion caters for the week hearted, the slow minded.
You are emotionally upset, and therefore seek to insult. From what I have read, you have no understanding of the essence of “religion” as opposed to “institutionalised religion”, therefore your arguments, imho, are null and void.
It answers the questions when we're on our deathbeds, it sustains as an answer to the emotionally weak and crippled. Anyone who subjects a young and impressionable mind to such basic probable fiction is evil beyond comparison.
Most people (i know) love their children and want the best for them. The truth of the matter is we have no choice but to subject their young and impressionable minds to something, be it direct or indirect. Evil, is a deliberate act that can only be meted out by a person of sufficient intelligence, with an intention to harm another. What you are accusing people of has nothing to do with religion or science, but to do with that particular individual, and is also a very serious accusation, so unless you can back that up with intelligent reason, I would prefer to leave it there, thank you very much.
This is a very mixed up statement.Let every man of sane mind judge for himself and remain non-convicted for whatever answer he ends up with. Nobody has right to judge the human mind, not even god.
