[QUOTE="p2rus"][QUOTE="mutenpika"] I accept that I may be insane. However, I see no advantage to defying what I clearly perceive, and several rather flagrant disadvantages. If I refuse to trust my own perceptions, by what evidence am I to shape my actions around? EDIT: I guess by that I mean that Nietzsche may well be right, but if he is it makes no material difference.Theokhoth
I mean to me personally there is a difference between seeing an apple, holding, eating it (which is how i view perception), and faith / believing in some God - coming up with your own religion doesn't make it right. It's just not as popular as yours (which is just as likely to be right or wrong)
Faith is an extension of perception. If you are no longer holding, tasting, seeing any apples, apples do not cease to exist, yet you know there are more apples in the world because you have perceived the existence of apples before.
You would think the exact same if you had never percieved apples, but rather, apple seeds.
Problem is, you've never before experienced a God you could prove. Your faith is not based on an extension of anything.
[QUOTE="Ownage_Delivery"][QUOTE="viewtiful26"] Well, you said I was bashing you, when I made no personal attacks at you directly, at least not on the level on your comments about all the world's religions (which isn't exactly relevant to this thread).viewtiful26
I wasn't bashing religion, I was speaking the truth about them. Big difference. Bashing would be like, "religion is bulls***!" Were you speaking truth about me though? No. You were trying to stir up trouble and you know it. :) No, I merely found your comments irrelevant to this thread, as I said before. There are plenty of other threads on this site about problems of religion. So what?
[QUOTE="Ownage_Delivery"][QUOTE="ImmortalWrath12"]And about your brother, I wouldn't worry about that, there's nothing wrong with your younger brother getting a girlfriend before you.lonewolf604
Yeah, really. It's not like there's a competition going on. Why do people always think life is a contest? Contests are contests! Life is an experience of confusion and evolution! because i feel so shunned. you'd figure i'd be the one he looks up to being the older brother, but its the other way around. he gets straight A's, he's outgoing, and well known, everyone enjoys his company, and now he has a GF Maybe your standards are higher, or maybe it's just random? Who cares. You'll never get anywhere if you keep obsessing over minor things like this. Seriously, find a way to not give a ****.
[QUOTE="Ownage_Delivery"][QUOTE="viewtiful26"] I was the one who asked you a question first. And I don't have a problem with you. -_-viewtiful26
Yes you do. Your first post to me revealed this. And to answer that question in your first post, the answer is no. Now what? :) Well, you said I was bashing you, when I made no personal attacks at you directly, at least not on the level on your comments about all the world's religions (which isn't exactly relevant to this thread).

[QUOTE="Ownage_Delivery"][QUOTE="viewtiful26"] Then how am I bashing you? o_0viewtiful26
That didn't answer my question. What is your problem with me? :) I was the one who asked you a question first. And I don't have a problem with you. -_- Yes you do. Your first post to me revealed this. And to answer that question in your first post, the answer is no. Now what? :)

[QUOTE="Ownage_Delivery"] There is only one interperetation of the bible. To accept every word as absolute truth (even the parts that contradict each other :lol: ). The bible itself says so! :oBumFluff122
So many people on this site believe. Especially in the union I'm linked to. However there are many demonitionsaskduhs (Or whatever they're called) of Christianity that interpret the bible in different ways. Then they're all wrong!
[QUOTE="Ownage_Delivery"][QUOTE="BiancaDK"] I know, but dont tell the rest of OT ;d bad jokes aside, youre quite right, since that notion of yours applies to the both of us. (insert orly here) xDBiancaDK
It applies to all of us. yes, it does apply to all of us. Why do you persist in bending the obvious in neon for me? ;d It's not just for you. ;)
