Quote from stu:
The type of wisdom that pushes ignorant beliefs, especially to profit by as "Pat" does , is more commonly known as deceit .
Paying attention? No, it's too late for "Pat" to pay attention . The seismology fact cat is already out of the bag.
Just because you defend extremists like the Pat Robertsons of this world , will not change those facts, and trying to use the contention that calling out fraudsters and ones like yourself for supporting them is ranting, then Much like gravity, it's already fallen down .
Ghosts in the sky causing earthquakes because they are angry is hardly defining a realistic observation of how things work and why.
"Everyone is entitled to their own opinions but not their own facts."
Daniel Moynihan
Nice try ... but your arguments have no weight ... just more blame, accusation, and baseless assertions to support an attack that has no supportive research.
I gave my opinion based on my belief and faith. I'm not judging nor railing as some here. People have differing opinions and their reasons. Those who are mature have their reasons and can offer opinion and dialog with a measure of respect.
Sharing my opinion exposes the internal fruit of people. It makes their issues self evident by exposing their instability and baseless rage and unfounded belief structures.
To judge rightly there must be substance and fact and the clarity of mind and presence to present that material. Hence the fruit of baseless attacks already shows the sheer lack of credibility of whatever unsupported rant people continue to drone on about.
I shared opinion and as such it is simple. I can offer my opinion and have no obligation to bring evidence ... because it is not adjudication but opinion that can be accepted or not accepted ... leaving everyone to freely say ... thanks but my opinion differs.
However to judge and make spurious unsupported claims with no evidence ... that is not opinion ... that is libelous behavior that only demonstrates the instability and lack of credibility of those in their angry accusatory rant.
I have been respectful to the disrespectful. That seems to stimulate more rant and rage of unsupported diatribe, however.
Please feel free to continue to vomit your contents if it makes you feel better. Unfortunately it lends absolutely no credibility to anything you say but serves to expose deeper issues.
If the basis of the entirety of your argument is proof that there is not a God or one true God ... then you might want to start with that. Once you can prove there is not a God without it being opinion ... then you have supported and adjudicatable evidence. Then you can set about liberating those who's belief is contrary to the facts you have evidential support of.
The entire premise of what you present rests on your opinions.
Yet you vehemently attack differing opinions?
Isn't this the very worst evil that religion (or rebellion) has to offer?
Isn't that the very epitome of hypocrisy?
You might give it a rest as you stand judged by your own actions and fruit.
You have done that all by your self.
Your behavior has demonstrated the "Micro-Socio" model of the judgment cycle
and those laws of order that further support my opinion of there being a "Macro-Socio" model of the same judgment cycles.
Thank you for demonstrating the micro-model of the precept I have presented as my opinion.
The theorem from this exercise in behavioral predictability would be:
"Do not judge lest you be judged according to the very measure you establish."
