Re: Judging Others

I suggest we conduct a pole in which we VOTE on the most important question of WHO is truly fulfilling God's role her on Genius Forums! Many are they who seek to 'overturn the money-changers tables', upsetting both Pharisee and Sadducee alike, many are they who come forward to shake the foundation ...

Re: Can you ever be certain that you are reasoning correctly?

If you put a frog in a jar of water, and slowly heat the water up, the frog will not know the water is heating up, and will just stay there and boil to death. At any point in time before its death, "countless moments", as you say, have passed. You are just like that frog. How so? I'm goin...

Re: Judging Others

A high-pitched, breathy voice from the upstairs gallery calls out: "We're all Messiahs according to the Messiah! He's just trying to show we're all One! We shouldn't be treated as separate individuals! Leave the Messiah alone! He helped us build a beautiful community. All our children are his ...

Re: Judging Others

Mikiel, Dan's poetry seems to be missing in action for now. In the meantime, here's what the old sage has been up to as of late: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=42sLEeVkpUo He's done a pretty good job so far. - I checked out that video. Interesting thought, but by defining something, you are forced ...

Re: I have two questions...

mikiel, you're greasy, and you can try to slither away from the truth as much as you want, but the truth remains. A subjective experience, as lofty as it may feel, cannot justify a true belief in an afterlife. you're basically a coward if you cannot recognize that there is a real good chance that w...

Re: Judging Others

So if poetry is all you see, then I suppose I should thank you for considering me elegant enough with words to actually "be" a poet. Poetry, at least in the sense discussed here, is rather the polar opposite of linguistic elegance. Protilius, Just FYI as a newbie here, the cult dogma, pro...

Two questions that have weighed heavy on my mind for many years.

At least I've prompted you out of your mild-manneredness. Again, welcome to the forum. I dont like your opinion, but I do have to say you do a good job of keeping your cool and responding with political correctness (to an extent). I respect that, and again, I hope our future dialogues will be a mor...

Re: Judging Others

I elaborated because you asked. I expect any individual with respect for his fellow man to do so the first time. I suppose that would be too much to ask from a person attempting to "judge" another. Once again, your lack of response and logic only furthers the points made in my "poetr...

Thank you for clarifying... I wish your original posts did so much for me, perhaps I would not have been so dismissive or hostile. I'm sorry my realistic and often observation based theories make you feel dirty. But it is how I think and feel.... If it is of any concern, I often feel that many of th...

Sometimes a fire will burn itself out if you let it burn long enough on its own. Feed the fire... and it can burn forever. I kind of like to start hacking away to make fire breaks. Because you say "sometimes" a fire will burn itself out. It always will, if you let it burn long enough. In ...

Re: Can you ever be certain that you are reasoning correctly?

From the "Beyond God and Evil" thread: Empirical phenomena are part of the world of appearances, which may or may not be hallucinatory, in which no certainty can be found. Pinning one's hopes on the existence of a particular empirical phenomenon, such as an alien god, doesn't help one to ...

Re: Judging Others

The last few threads I have been in this subject has come up repeatedly and I think it's time to give it its own thread. It seems to be the consensus here that judging others is a good thing to do. When I talk about judging others, it is in a moral sense, condemning them for actions such as sexuali...

I think many people are attention starved. To get attention, you can do two things... 1. Accomplish or say something worth noticing. or... 2. Find somebody that has done something or said something noticeable and then mentally rape him/her in a room full of people. Haha... I'm half joking as I say t...
