butterflyl1on: and?? I thought you wanted opinions The real question is do I really disagree with him? answer; NO the specie homo sapiens are animals with a difference. all animals ain't the same bro that is why there is classification in the first place. |
Re: Opinion Census For Atheists Only! Make Una Fall In. by butterflyl1on: 8:09am On Oct 05, 2017 |
Humanistme: Yes I want opinions which incidentally ifenes is and others have been providing. Does classification change the true nature or the true nature does not deserve to be classified? The term TRUE NATURE is the working term. Who can determine the true nature? |
Re: Opinion Census For Atheists Only! Make Una Fall In. by Humanistme: 8:14am On Oct 05, 2017 |
butterflyl1on: I have provided my opinion you are free to disagree and classify based on true nature according to you. Unless this is a troll thread like the water thread. |

ifenes:i partially agree with you... But your answer is more of egoism rather than the fact...... We human refuse to be call animal becuse of our brainpower, nothing more....and my thought is this ....do animals have the same thought with us, do they care to be human ? Probably they also reject the idea of the human labeling supposing they are call human, since science hasn't develop mind reader.... That will be a question for another day.... Why should we reject the idea of animal labelling.....simple answer ...ego.... Ego is the root of supremacy. this egoism with semi illiteracy, makes us believe we are the most supreme being in this universe ..nothing proof it....... Human want to feel superior, and it is easy to do that with the animal kingdom, because animals do not reply nor care...may be they’ve got better things to do..... Therefore we can bring in these human animals concept to the fact that they belong to the animal kingdom, and let them to believe what they want and be enlightened or ignorant for the rest of their lives.....: 3 Likes 1 Share |

vaxx: What you are saying is that we control whatever perception others have of themselves based on what we tell ourselves that they are and not that those perceptions are actually true. If this is right, then are we qualified to control our own perceptions of who we think we are if our judgement is influenced by a lot of wrong factors? If ego can make us think too highly of ourselves can also loathing not make us thing too low of ourselves? Can both positions be true if the source is problematic? |
Re: Opinion Census For Atheists Only! Make Una Fall In. by Humanistme: 10:38am On Oct 05, 2017 |
vaxx: I really like your perspective. The animal kingdom have characteristics that we share yet each group within each family are distinct in their own way. So we human believe the characteristics that make us different(I.E. Our brain power) is the reason why we are where we are today and makes us superior. 2 Likes |

If this is right, then are we qualified to control our own perceptions of who we think we are if our judgement is influenced by a lot of wrong factors? {/quote} wrong factor.? But what can that be...but if i may try....our own perception depends on self knowledge” this self knowledge is of one’s own sensations, thoughts, beliefs, and other mental states.

[quote author=vaxx post=61126951][/quote] Well you mentioned ego and I can ask "is ego good in this context " since it may not be truthful. Likewise self loathing. Can self loathing be good in this context since it may also not be true. You said due to ego man sees himself as not an animal. I countered by saying that self loathing may make man see himself as an animal or worthless. Since both are influenced by something. How then are we sure they are both right positions. Or that the conclusions derived form them are true. |
Re: Opinion Census For Atheists Only! Make Una Fall In. by vaxx: 12:27pm On Oct 05, 2017 |
butterflyl1on:of which, I reply that what influence them is self knowledge, this self knowledge is of one’s own sensations, thoughts, beliefs, and other mental states. Can all this be wrong? Can we think logically about the ego yes, can we think logically about the low self esteem yes..anything that is defined properly , described in enough details can generate premises and from it we can draw valid conclusion.... Valid conclusion isn't the same thing as the real truth...it is just rich enough to accept our state of mind. 1 Like |

No need to wax too much philosophy here. Humans are animals. If you do not believe, take the most civilized adult human then beat and starve him for 2 days. On the 3rd day, put the adult among children who have food but have been instructed not to give him any. That human being will savagely fight to eat. When it comes to survival, brain power goes dead, only the animal instict to survive remains 1 Like |

butterflyl1on: I will quickly post a reply We are way more than science and academical books have limited us to. We in our true essence have no definition. If I may freely express myself here, I will have to say we are a bundle of unlimited possibilities. Calling ourselves or accepting to be called animal is like subconscious voodoo, it automatically shows you are limited. That is objectifying ourselves. And because we have accepted this limiting definitions we tend to accept labels, passports, birth certificates etc. I'm I really 20, 30 or 40 years old ? Of course not, I'm ancient, we all are. Let's call ourselves what we are - Ancients of days, Beings( to be or exist continuously) The consciousness of the human being: We are more than our bodies. The deeper part of us exist in every possible realms we can ever imagine. And yet we can limit ourselves to what we see today. That's the power of illusion we pocess. Someone said I say all these things out of ego...... Well it's called self love. I will not call myself a bastard because Isaac Newton thinks so. 1 Like |

Re: Opinion Census For Atheists Only! Make Una Fall In. by vaxx: 3:26pm On Oct 05, 2017 |
ifenes:call it self love , self intrest, self worth, self hype ... They are all product of self egoism........ According to webster dictionary....it define egoism as thus...making largely impulsive judgments and behaving based on whether it helps a human’s self-interest .....your analogy fall into this categories.... It is self knowledge.... It those not mean what you are saying is the real truth... |

butterflyl1on:So this is your new tactic. Anyone who says your opinion is bullshiit is being aggressive and rude, when such person is just being honest. Cool. Very cool. As for me, I wouldn't care if anyone calls my argument bullshit, but would rather be focused on the substance of his argument and demand that he SHOWS me how my opinion is actually bullshiit. All these sentiments of yours are just you being emotional. I consider Christianity bullshiit, the same way many Christians consider atheism stupid, soporofic, vapid, and irrational. But that doesn't stop me from engaging them in debates. When the subject matter is a GENERAL ISSUE, that can be OBJECTIVELY analysed, then everyone can't be right, and there can be no "my opinion is valid, your opinion is valid" sentiments. We're talking FACTS not anyone's personal FEELINGS, so if your argument is empty and ridiculous, I would call it exactly what it is. But when the subject matter is a PERSONAL ISSUE, that depends on each person's SUBJECTIVE PREFERENCE, then we can respect each other's feelings and opinions. For example, "Blue, or red, which color is better?". There is no "right" answer to this. "Jollof rice or Fried rice, which is more delicious?". Subjective. No "right" answer. "Is it alright to date a lady with huge behind?". This has also got to do with PERSONAL PREFERENCE. No one has any right to attack you over which ever answer you choose. We all have different TASTES. So when I see you disregarding FACTS, abusing reason and logic, and tendering opinions and assumptions as TRUTH, I have the right to use whatever harsh word is appropriate. The same applies to you. By the way, I never saw you apply this new rubbish you're preaching during your debates with CatfishBilly in the past. You were so rude that you attacked his character and every other thing you considered worth attacking DO YOU MIND EXPLAINING YOURSELF? |

ToZaraWithaZ: Your mental state is already set on the course of seeing derogatory comments as perfectly normal so why am I not surprised. Passing a message across without deriding the one the message is being directed at shouldn't be an impossibility should it? Did I insult him or his opinion during the presentation of the OP or my comments to sonofLuc1fer? What then warranted his obviously silly response? You on the other hand has no business responding to comment to him which he had obviously already seen but chose not to respond. The comment was not directed at you so your response is not needed. Thank you. |

butterflyl1on:Beautiful. I've edited that post. Answer the question I asked. |
Re: Opinion Census For Atheists Only! Make Una Fall In. by butterflyl1on: 4:17pm On Oct 05, 2017 |
ToZaraWithaZ: Regarding your last comment this thread is AN OPINION CENSUS THREAD and not a debate thread. I offered no foundation for a debate even when I was being forced to do so. Definitions would have given the platform for a debate but I left those out. So how you came to see this thread as a debate thread and equating that with my debate with catfishbilly beats my imagination. |
Re: Opinion Census For Atheists Only! Make Una Fall In. by butterflyl1on: 4:20pm On Oct 05, 2017 |
That being said, I expect no more retorts from you and if you choose to still do so then I am not obliged to respond. Thank you. |

Modus operandus 1 creates a thread 2. says it is not a debate but just to get different opinions 3 see an opinion that he doesn't like 4 jumps on it 5 ask him why he disagrees 6 says you are being aggressive or don't want him to have his opinion 7 he moves goal post or starts talking about China LOL 3 Likes |

vaxx: And your truth is what some people agreed to to put up in a dictionary ? Do you know what self love even means ? Self worth, high regard and respect for yourself, acceptance and appreciation for whom you are............ The ego you talk about means a false self, not being in control of your life......yes this is my opinion, my definition and my truth. What is yours ? Oh wait you gonna need the dictionary Even the Christians say it unconsciously-Love God. But Unknowingly to them, they are the God, the inner man, the subconscious that never die. Therefore it means love yourself, honour yourself, adore yourself, not in an egotistic way....... You need to love yourself first before you love another. I'm saying this with respect and love brother.....not because I'm better than you, we are all equals. 2 Likes |
