texanomaly: This is the most foolish comment I have read this year and that is saying a lot considering the mental patients we have here on NL I am not here to direct people. I just state the facts about religion. I dont know what traps you are talking about......maybe you have been admiring Sarah Palin too much and her animal hunting 1 Like |

DeepSight:@Deepsight, Considering the bright(I assume) legal mind that you are, don't you find it yourself even a bit suspicious, I mean, is it jus a coincidence that god just happens to be anything and everything you want it to be?? Shouldn't that, even for a microsecond, tell you where god is coming from? For example, my idea of god is a chocolate-skinned beautiful woman, we'll endowed and perfectly proportioned, ageless, with sparkling eyes, melodic voice, slightly curved legs and a heart-melting smile who anticipates and satisfies all my lustful needs and yearnings. In return, she only asks for me to believe in her and ability to satisfy my hedonistic urges. So, what do you think of my idea of god? Would you assist me to erect a magnificent temple in honor of my god? 4 Likes |

PastorAIO: Yes, his brand of philosophy is totally intriguing. He and Kierkegaard fascinate me with their views on existentialism. Reading Nietzsche for me sometimes sounds like he probably second-guesses his own ideas. A healthy inquiring mind. I find it conceivable that he may have studied himself under various circumstances and projected it to the general human experience. Thinking fluently in the third person is a talent, and Nietzsche seems to have nailed it in his day. |

PastorAIO: Well I already said that I am tired of your lack of insight or intelligence and thus will not waste much time on it. I only bother to respond to this because of your comment here attempting to corelate my statement on mind to your statement on consciousness. They are different statements. You said that even stones are conscious. I do not agree with that. When I say that everything is mind i mean that mind creates everything. As a slight example I could say that my mind has imaginations. I am conscious of those imaginations but it is a different thing to suggest that those imaginations are self conscious. There is an ocean of thought and a world of differences in this statement above I just made, but what's the point discussing it with you. You are a person who says that we cannot know that anything outside ourselves exist. I have strong reasons to disagree with that but again why should I argue against a person who might not exist. You simply lack the depth I previously thought you did as do those unintelligent weasels who concur with your self contradiction. I am a self admitted mad man but you are the mad man who they will wonder how they never knew was mad. Good night. |

mazaje: Ah thanks. But you know what? When you realise the transient nature of your life and truly get it.... things will get weirder. Weirder for materialists but more natural for spiritualists. Do you remember I once opened a thread asking you the purpose of your life? Do you have any different thoughts on it now? Have you evolved in your thinking too? 1 Like |

Re: I've Been A Deep Believer My Whole Life. by DeepSight(m): 11:33am On Jul 14, 2014 |
mazaje: Fair enough. I just follow where the reasonable and objective evidence leads. . . . Is it reasonable to say, for example, that the organs of your body: 1. Combine to form your mind and experience of life or 2. Are tools for your mind and experience of life The purpose of my life to me is what i make of it, Fair enough. i do not believe my life has an external purpose from any god. . . . Do you really pause to contemplate this carefully? Am just lucky to be alive, many others were born and died out shortly afterwards, some as toddlers, others as young kids, many others as teenagers. . . Fair enough. But neither here nor there. Not all must grow old. What do you think is the purpose of the human life?. . . The delivery of the creative spirit and governance of the mind of God to the material plane. Do you believe in a personal god?. . . I will have to ask you first if you believe that a mind must be personal. And if so, if it must be encapsulated in a physical body. Thank you. It is refreshing to read and talk to one atheist such as yourself who is not wasted in the doldrums of petty back-lashing and meaningless futility and self contradiction. 1 Like |
