Re: Something peculiar I've noticed when discussing religious beliefs with people.

You keep referring to "psychics". You must have much experience with them to know how they foretell the future.

No, I'm mocking you.

A telling commentary on your lifestyle and lack of anything real to comment on. After all, you brought them up from the twisted depths of your mind.

Now now, there is no need to quit being a lady about it.

spot on Clax...No questions allowed assures the 'indoctrination/brainwashing' is thoroughly embedded into the indoctrinated one's psyche via fear of hellfire...i.e. "You MUST' believe as I do on matters of religion or suffer eternal damnation."

Something peculiar I've noticed when discussing religious beliefs with people.

Still another peculiar thing I've noticed when discussing religious beliefs with people who don't believe in God is that right away they start with the name-calling.
Why is that, I wonder?

Re: Something peculiar I've noticed when discussing religious beliefs with people.

What are you talking about?

You complain that I posted a single post in the theology section then when i explain that this forum is a political debate one and not a totally safe place where you will not be exposed to new or different ideas you complain that I somehow want a safe place.

Your mind does not work.

I wasn't complaining about your post in theology. I'm just using it to show as an example that you're the one who's vastly aggressive! You even follow religious people in their designated "safe" place.


You're the one who mentioned the need for a safe place. I don't need a safe place - I think that's very clear by now.
You seem to be the one desperately hankering for a safe place - that's why you want me to go elsewhere - far, far, far away from you? :lamo


If you want a safe place - if you can't hack it on this section where religious people can duke it out with the non-religious.....maybe, you should petition for the creation of your own safe place. You can maybe make a request that "NO RELIGIOUS POSTERS ALLOWED," be its #1 rule? :mrgreen:


Anyway.....

There is a special rule for Theology. It's not a political section. Read it.

Purpose
- A place to discuss religious matters from a religious mindset and free from any sort of derailment or focus on disbelief from a non-religious stand point.


Rule Set
- Threads and posts that are critical of religion or its spiritual aspects in a broad fashion, or are focused on attacking non-belief, are not allowed.

- Skeptical posts/threads from a non-religious basis, or ones deemed overly antagonistic towards religious beliefs, will be considered “trolling”.

Either you're ignorant about it - which proves my claim that you tend to argue from ignorance.........or, you're deliberately ignoring and playing obtuse about Theology Section (which makes you dishonest). Which is it, Tim? Ignorant, or, dishonest?
Or, both?

I'd go with rude to the point of not being at all intimidated by pompus fools who think that they can bully people over a computer.

Not caring about causing offense to the foolish.

Valuing honesty over politeness.

Being somewhat annoyed by sickly gibberish propaganda that should be challenged on a politics forum. Even in its' safe space where such things should not happen because they would derail the self hypnosis.

And obviously not intimidated by your aggression.

So you think you are above the rules here...got it...I wonder if the mods are reading...

Ah, admitting that you have nothing but your attempted and continuous insults to attempt to converse with. That and your imagined superiority (only applies to those you hang out with) show just how pathetic you truly are. That, and making stuff up and then mocking others for your accusations (made up by you only) show just how desperate you are to try to claim some sort of recognition. Congratulation, you are recognized as a first class liar and fool.

There was a cliam posted in the thread I responeded to that claim and asked for the answers that the claim said were waiting for me.

That it upset you is a total bonus.

I suppose it could do with a comma;

Something peculiar I've noticed when discussing religious beliefs with people.

On a positive note, yet another thing I've noticed when discussing religious beliefs with people, both believers and non-believers alike, is this tremendous sense of peace that steals over me, a peace not only of mind, but of spirit.

Philosophical question:

Is a lie really bad if believing in it makes the believer happy?


Now I'm not saying that Christianity is a lie - because like any Atheist I'm prepared to accept that there might be a god.
But does a lie, any lie, have merit if it makes the believer happy ?

 

[Mizzy22]

Earlier I was talking in a thread with regard to religious beliefs. And something that I don't really understand occurred. And the more I have thought about it the more I realize that I habe been guilty of this same thing.

So I think beliefs are personal, and many of us don't like being told our beliefs are wrong. When people talk about beliefs in gods or afterlife and such that have no real evidence they tend to get really belligerent and defensive. Especially when they adhere to a religious ideological bent.

My question here and the subject I want to discuss on this threats is why people do this.

Al

Same reason it gets hot,talking politics

Agreed...it only reinforces your own faith...

So doing things, reading/watching things that reinforce your faith is good.

Doing things or watching/reading things that make you question your faith is bad ?

Nope...go back and read Angel's post...when I converse with non believers, I research their questions and arguments, which only reassures me of God's love and God's truth even more than before...

Henrik Ibsen calls this the "life lie" in his play The Wild Duck, this is the theme of that play, and his answer is yes, the lie is necessary to happiness, and I think he was on to something there, and while I appreciate your delicate steps around theism in your post, as life-lies go atheism is just a life-lie for monkeys' uncles.

You have both mind and spirit? In addition to physical existence? That goes beyond dualism.
