TheSourcerer:The two cans of coke you explosed at the same level of energy and burst of force that I referred to here? I don't think its that rare. Go do the same to any two cans of coke and you'd see the action repeats everytime. By the way, why do you pleasure in convoluted sentences? Do you not know they just show muddling of thought though they are meant to deceive? "Equilibrium of spontaneous emotions" my two tits! |
OLAADEGBU:I am to you what ever your small mind thinks I am, Deg. When your mind grows big enough however, you will find that I am who I am. |
TheSourcerer:I wouldn't know since its not something I have experienced. I have experienced lust at first sight though, and what most describe as love at first sight seems more like that to. What motivated love at first sight for you, Sourcerer? |
TheSourcerer:Well, some may indeed concern themselves with the story of others but buda is only concerned with buda's story, and I assure you that buda always reaps whatever buda sows be it good or bad. Do let me know if it is not the same for you. |
TheSourcerer:Well, some would say Bella's reaction towards you is love, or at least, affection, and that towards strangers is apprehension, at least. Even if both are instinctive, something motivates that instinct, unless you want to claim its an arbitrary reaction. You don't just love people instinctively, for instance. Something has to motivate how you feel. |
TheSourcerer:No, that's not exactly karma. Karma is what you'd get in return for shooting up a pre school. Even if you are not caught and sent to jail, unless there's something wrong with your brain, your actions would haunt you for the rest of your life. How do you feel everytime you remember what you did here, for instance? |
TheSourcerer:Remain what you may, of course, but basing it on errors of understanding is not healthy. Preachings is as much as the Bible or Quran as the finger pointing to the moon is the moon. You may of course convince me of your opinion by showing me where the books they preach from say one must hate. By my understanding neither advocates hating those who worship different to the other's way. |
TheSourcerer:No, not got one now. I've had four in my lifetime and they loved me to bits. Did Bella hate or love you? |
TheSourcerer:Thanks. I'll miss him because our chess playing included a pint of Guinness and great conversation. Register on gameknot and invite budat to a game. I'd have gotten a free month for your registration but I've already got life. |
TheSourcerer:My knowing does die with me unless I store it somewhere apart from in my head. When I die, for instance, my writings on NL will remain, and you, for one, on hearing I have died, will dig up some of our conversations in remembrance. And if you dig them up long enough, someone might decide to compile them into a book - though I hope not, and voila, the ideology of buda might just take off, and some might make a religion of it - though, I hope no one starts worshipping buda as that would mean they do not understand a word I've written. An example would be Buddha. He is not worshipped by those who understand his words. Another would be Jesus. They say [url=https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Philippians+2%3A6-11&version=NIV]God exalted him[/url], but the truth is that humans writing after he died were the real exalters. He would recent the religion of Christianity if he were to return today as he never advocated "worship Jesus" despite whatever you read in the Bible. |
TheSourcerer:Remind me how you feel about Jesus again. Is your feeling not real, or do we need to measure it first? I'm certain that you'd recognise when someone loves or hates you as real even if you can't measure it. Just go through some past threads and you'd see the difference between your lovers and those you hate and who hate you. Yes, animals do feel love and hatred, you'd know this if you ever had a pet. If I said a dog, for instance, bites those it loves, would you agree? |

TheSourcerer:It's like wondering what one's grandchild knows before one has one's first child. Lol. We can't know anything before you were born because you did not exist before you were born. And your brain function stops once you're dead, so you can't possibly continue to know even what you knew before you died. I learnt this morning that my once a week chess partner of almost 15 years died after a brief illness. If only we could do 1. d4 Nf6 from the grave. |
TheSourcerer:To understand. |
TheSourcerer:Man, or rather, humans evolved from beings that preceded them. See my thread on Evolution 101 |
TheSourcerer:Would you say a motor car is just metal because it can't fly you to the moon? The function of love is not blanket moving! |
Xmuslim:One must study the history of all religions in order to understand them. My main Quran is the Translation and Commentary by Abdullah Yusuf Ali, and includes contextual history on every page. I have two others that don't but the comparison is helpful. I've read about 4 autobiographies of Mohammed, and a couple of books on the history of Islam, and a bit of various versions of the Hadith. I'm in no way suggesting to be an expert on the subject, but I'd say, as a non-Muslim, I've done pretty well, and even much more than some Muslims whom you say don't even read the Quran because they can't read Arabic. But of course, the measure is not how much one reads but the transformation one's reading produces in one, don't you think? |
TheSourcerer:I have a condition that makes food digest very slowly. It makes me feel so full up that I can't eat though I'm hungry at the same time, but eating just makes my constipation worse. Today, for instance, despite my hunger, breakfast is a coffee and a banana. Lunch might be the pizza I'll make with ingredients I bought a week ago that would go off if not used soon, otherwise, it's rice and chicken or a salad, with supper depending on how full I feel. |
TheSourcerer:I was saving this for when my mind could handle a response. I, myself, do not believe any of the things you list above. Take karma, for instance. I do not believe in karma at all. What I do know for sure is that I always reap what I sow. And there's no way I could harvest cocoa if I put maize in the ground. Take "what will be will be". Indeed, if I sit on my ass and do nothing perhaps. But by the power invested in me, what is is whatever I put effort in to make be, because, "life is indeed not predestined". Aliens? Jung would say they are the 20th century version of angels, and then laugh when alien believers don't believe in angels and demons. Evolution? Death? Well since you accept it happens, shouldn't the correct expression be "I know", rather than, you "believe"? Believers are lazy people. They create crap inside their heads and claim it is so. Beliefs themselves are the crap. They are hypothesis - suppositions or proposed explanations made on the basis of limited evidence. At best, they are a starting point for further investigation. And the strong do the investigative work so they actually know. Here's one I prepared earlier on the topic. Disbelieve and Know! |
TheSourcerer:Afternoon? Lol! An hour in the bath, then I slept and I slept and I woke up starving this morning as I didn't even get up to eat. My last meal was Sunday, I think. A chicken salad. Good morning Sourcerer. |
I wonder if time has made us evolve. Truthsbitter:Thanks for this, Truth. Maximus69:Max, your apology for patronising me is accepted. |
Xmuslim:I don't think love is unconditional either. A condition must exist for love. I for instance, love my fellow human beings and walk down the street smiling at people. That they are human would be the attachment, though I do love animals too and my village people would tell how I cry and get angry if trees on my farm are cut. The condition for my love is we are all human and my mind is clear of prejudice which is produced by ignorance. If I had not created a condition of no prejudice in my own mind by reducing my ignorance, I would surely find it hard to love some of my fellow human beings, I think. I do draw the line at the men who are pigs though! They just need to make out the pointy bit between their legs makes them superior to tits and all my love goes out the window and I snarl! I guess there are conditions that are required for both love and hatred, but we have a huge say in ensuring we chose the better conditions for either. |
TheSourcerer:Are you denying the evidence before thee, Sourcerer? Is it not the truth that if I love you to death you would put down all your defenses and love me back, or at the very least, not attack me? Perhaps you are not convinced yet, so I shall love you more! |
LordReed:You elevate me far higher than my worth my Lord! |
Xmuslim:"10 reward for every Arabic word"? It sounds like something someone might have added at a later date as I doubt Mohammed would have concerned himself with translations in other languages. I mean, their wasn't even a book in Arabic in his lifetime not to talk of translations. And many could not even have been expected to read Arabic. Relying on scholars is like relying on men of God in Christianity. The result in both cases is ignorant sheep! |
TheSourcerer:I don't understand why anything should be typical about a unique individual called buda. There's only one buda, after all, created in God's image and not in anyone else's, and just like everyone else she's unique. There is hope for Nigerians, Sourcerer! I am unfortunately stuck where I am at the moment due to something that caught me in Nigeria, but I talk on here with Nigerians in Nigeria, and I have lots of relatives and friends and acquitances in Nigeria, and a whole town whom I constantly discuss and reason with too, and while many do say "there is a demon in buda", gradually, like with you, some understanding occurs, and some change their points of view, like you are going to in due time. Do note however that if you believe a single word I say instead of understanding it, I will insult you again by calling you a theist and a sheep! And no, I am not suggesting you become a Christian or a Muslim, but that you be the you that you are and are meant to be. If God wanted you to be otherwise, you would not be who you are. I'm taking a break. I've been up since 9am Sunday having these sort of conversations with numerous people on many platforms and around the world and I'm now tired and my eyes have stopped seeing and my brain is no more at its optimum so I'm going to go slip in a bath and rest awhile. I'm signing off with a hymn about that name you say you hate so much. Lol. Enjoy, and thank you immensely for your patience and time and the effort you've put in to understand the ramblings of theist buda. You, sir, are highly regarded. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=owx3ao42kwI |
TheSourcerer:But you must not find it "bearable to read" , Sourcerer! You should disagree! You should say, "that is not what Paul was saying"! You should ask, "and who gives you the authority to interpret the Bible in such a way", and "how dare you call Christ humanism"? You see. What I am accusing you of is, instead of understanding the Bible for yourself, you reject what you have been told to believe, as you very well ought to and as Jesus also rejected what he was supposed to believe, except, you deny yourself of all that you could learn from it because of your antipathy to a name! It is not your fault, however. They tell you to believe, lol. Who, pray thee, with a brain in their head and the ability to use it would not reject what they are told to believe especially when it does not correspond with what they perceive with their own senses? Sheep, I say. And brain dead people who's senses don't work. And people who think the Bible was written in heaven by God! And those who have not fully imbibed Jesus the Logos into their hearts and minds and souls. When it is written that one should seek the Kingdom of God, gain understanding of godly things is meant, and not just believe in any odd stuff without understanding what it is one is asked to believe. Unfortunately, those who preach, the majority at least, lack understanding, so they give stones instead of bread so to speak, and sell fake promises in some after life as a reward for suffering on earth, and people buy all this with their tithes so their pastors get rich and fat and fly aeroplanes while the tithers come on here begging for food! I tell you the truth. Any God who makes me such promises will be taken to the bottom of a river and drowned after I bash its silly head in for thinking I could be so gullible! And if I believed such promises without first understanding, I myself will take buda to the bottom of the river and bash buda's head in and drown buda for being so gullible and stupid! "Give me peace now God", says I. "I'm not suffering for three score and ten for some imaginary blissful afterlife"! Thankfully, God looks at buda and probably shakes its head at my audacity and says, "Well. I guess I created buda how buda is", and therefore blesses buda abundantly, or rather, shows buda how to learn to "be fruitful and increase in number; and fill the earth and subdue it, and rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky and over every living creature that moves on the ground”. And because buda learns, buda is blessed. There is immense power in understanding Jesus, see, but you got to seek understanding to get it. |
sagna112:I'm being uberharsh, I know, but they should throw his useless corpse on the trash heap and let the vultures feed on it instead of wasting more money on it. I am so angry it's like it's my own child! |
Now his poor mother has to find the money to bury his corpse, and I bet he gambled her share too! He should commit suicide again just for being so selfishly stupid! |
TheSourcerer:That's a very off topic question, sourcerer! I was born in the London Borough of Lewisham on the 20th of July. |
TheSourcerer:In a sense, we are all fools. But moreso those who try to prove or disprove the existence of gods. And indeed "something new". Paul, while advocating humanism, is written to have said: When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me. For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known. Basically, grow-up and evolve, which is the purpose of, and process, that is detailed in the Bible. Pity is how few still see only a reflection. Like pointing to the moon but seeing only the finger. |
