From the Devil's point of view, mocking is a great virtue and an expression of the highest good. The behavior of the Devil and God might be different, but that isn't relevant to the issue at hand. Each, from their own perspective, is performing the highest good. But isn't it precisely the issue at ...

jupiviv: A conscious being can never escape the duality of good and evil. It will arise naturally, just like 8 naturally arises as the product of 2 and 4. DQ: Or alternatively, one can follow the truth. One can recognize the symmetry of good and evil and reject both as being the relativistic chimer...

All this is to show how evil is a matter of perspective. In the Devil's eyes, to be wrong may mean two things: 1. to adopt a view that will eventually lead to failure, and cause harm to the one adopting it; 2. to adopt a view that is ultimately false, regardless of prevailing perspectives or popula...

If you were to go over to the side of evil, would you still consider yourself to be evil? Probably, yes. I think it is probably true that evil delights in being evil. Right, so the Devil thinks he is good and that God is evil, while God thinks the reverse. Who is right? - But David, didn't you just...

The problem is that it's not straightforward to separate "significantly ill and delusional" from "honestly experiencing alternate aspects of reality". Not if you put them in quotes like that. Otherwise, you would be saying it is not straightforward to separate black from white. ...

evil exists to force good to evolve higher. Through exposure to the torments of evil, and through dealing with those torments, good becomes more resilient, patient, intelligent, capable, etc. According to this understanding, it is not really "bad" to be "evil", because evil perf...

What does the Mayan calendar state that the world would end in 2012? Have to agree with Dan on this one. Most people can't handle their own personal calendars, so why concern yourself with this nonsense? Could it mean that we could be back in prehistoric times again? (Scientists say they discovered...

CB...that was crewl :( Yes. Yes it was. I think I just wanted to poke DonaldJ with a stick to see what would happen. But as I reread what I wrote, it was less like poking with a stick and more like... well, smacking with a 2x4. The Donald needs help. He is crying out for it, in fact. Some of us can...

Should you make it that far, you are presented with the first of the first 4.. At the forth of the first 4, you have the option to repeat 4, thus "2x4", or take a delta if you have "balls of steel".. but none of you mindless loveless hateful critters have it to survive even the ...

Don't know if this one was posted yet, but it's nice to know romance isn't dead.

And how many usernames would that be? Since you see a pattern.

cousinbasil: There is much - very much - application of quantum mechanics to basic, every day scientific endeavors. QM is by its very nature theoretical - but if the theory is to be applied, it must first be developed and well-understood. DVR: Nobody is discussing this but you. Apparently you are. ...

BTW, Gary - I enjoyed that 2x4 post above. It reminds me of someone I knew pretty well a number of years ago and did a bit of business with. His main source of self-support was trucking, but he had done a lot of construction as well, mostly residential, in his time. I remember him being excited one ...

Even worse! It's not the Islam that claims the land apart from the holy site in Jerusalem. The struggle is mostly a local Arab sentiment, deeply linked to the perception of Zionism being just another colonialist project. Mixed in with antisemitic sentiments lingering from the 19th century when the ...

Laird drops by, paying lip service to his selective concerns on the way to the pub to sink the next 30 pots of beer. Tsk tsk, Dennis, resorting to ad hom already? It's OK, I understand - what else can you do when you feel outwitted and outplayed? But you'll notice that Dennis actually penned a comp...

cousinbasil: The point, again, is that QM has found fantastic applications in the last 50 years, while cosmology has not. Diebert: That was not the point initially at all: it was about how much of modern QM research was being totally theoretical and not about the applications of any earlier QM brea...

Not to mention the fact that a 2x4 doesn't measure 2x4...

But you think I was judging it to be selfish as some insult. This is what I mean about not being in the conversation. It's healthy to be selfish, to develop individuality and an inner life with care for either intellectual or physical prosperity of your own self, to create ties and attachments, to ...

Funny is that you're trying to backpedal on what you wrote and end with basically repeating the same sin. It is not my fault you either cannot understand or refuse to. So you are saying I tried to backpedal but failed - meaning I didn't end up back pedaling? So I didn't backpedal? This is my sin? Y...

It could be a factor although the" last flicker of lights" is at least decades away. Politics these days appear to be more short term than that. Also Iran is still importing almost half of their needed gasoline. Not enough refinery capacity. And to expand that they need decades of investm...

Still not getting it, Brokenhead. Some USB thumb drive design is not on the blackboard of any psychics professor. Which part of fundamental physics research being done the last 50 years has developed into some ground breaking engineering then? Lets talks about that! I'm sure you can come up with so...

ToywithYou says: What I find strange is if cousinbasil is not Dan-the-man--then why do you sound like Dan I'm not sure how two English-speaking men could sound less alike. Dan is from the Land Down Under, while I have that Northeastern-seaboard American nasal thing going on, which is beloved by so ...

ToyingWithYou says: And what did you do Cousinbasil, did you listen to the shit by not offering a defense for my absence? People who gossip are fuc king cowards, I'm not afraid to correct anyones wrong to their face! Gossips shouldn't be confused with just talking, however, gossip is spreading untr...

Ever wonder if she is just trolling the lot of you? lol Keep your mouth closed please! By natural design, women have to endure a limited flowering period, then a slow death occurs (the moon's occulting). The blossom wilts, then dies and drops into the soil. What happened to me as a child is none of...

How do you know that you have reached the largest perspective possible? This is not so difficult a question as it first seemed when I read it. When one has examined a thing thoroughly and from all possible perspectives each, in turn, in its own broadest and narrowest sense, further effort will prod...
