GENIUS FORUMS

Hey Serendipper, You are truly insightful! (not just this post.) Thanks for the compliment, but I'll pass the credit to those that I echo; the founders of the forum and the giants whose shoulders they stand upon. True enough and I suggest that you find an old shirt because here I come with a ladder...

Diebert, you've digressed to accusation. I'm not here to "Play with words." Welcome to actual discussion! Part of discussion is pointing out inconsistencies, when we think we perceive them. It doesn't seem to be something you're interested or comfortable with. Fair enough: it takes two to...

"Feminist" can mean a lot of things, and all of them except one apply to typical women. The exception is feminism as the desire to *be* a man, which only exists in sufficiently masculine women. The label of "feminist" is a misnomer of oxymoronic stature because the one thing pra...

Yes, blending is not the best word; obscuring , or making vague, is closer to what I am looking for. Obscuring and making vague is deliberate obfuscation, no? It's not changing the underlying truth, but merely blurring the perception of it. If "blending" implies an even distribution, then...

Hey Diebs, The masculine then as a more unsettled and restless mode? Extremes, higher and lower ways to climb or sink would be the consequence of some higher degree of general dumbness, dreaming, off-beat behavior: a kind of deviant pattern which when left unchecked usually would lead to utter stup...

Enlightenment is the realization that no metaphysical beliefs are ever certain. I think "hasty generalization" is a better descriptor. The realization that no metaphysical beliefs are ever certain is itself a metaphysical belief. How can you be certain about something that you can't be ce...

True opposites cannot exist as the declared opposite is interdependent on the undeclared opposite. This is why contradiction appears in the consciousness of those who are ignorant of interdependent origination. And why circular arguments (and laughter) exist. I don't understand why true opposites c...

Next, what happens if He shows Himself only to you?? Then you have reason and perhaps justification for a superiority complex? I'm just guessing. Is it proud to state that only humility can lead you to God? To find your way requires wisdom and the beginning of wisdom is the fear of God, which is re...

Hi Serendipper, sorry about the System deleting you. But good you tried again and welcome! It's all about that first post. Then there's a restriction for a day in terms of posting links. All has to do with the pattern of the average spam account, which is the majority of the sign-ups these days. Th...

Short answer, most people that throw out the "racist" card are too ignorant to have a rational discussion with in the first place. I agree. It's stigmatization to rally the mob rather than a claim to be proven false. There is nothing rational with which to argue. The question is akin to a...

Accounts that don't post within 24 hours of registration are automatically disabled and then purged. We apologize if you get caught in the filter. We'll keep tweaking it to find a good balance of usability. I was caught in the filter and accidentally discovered the 24 hour rule. In hindsight, the s...
