Quote from ARogueTrader:
It doesn't take a godlike vanity to see that someone else is acting godlike.
.. I would say in your case it does.
...lets not confuse your bias, beliefs, and opinions for truth.
I didn't ask you to.
You are the one who wants to determine a belief of what truth is by making statements like these....
"Faith in God is true, Faith in No God is true"
But it's Your bias, beliefs, and opinions which are self-evidently self-contradictory and have no merit for truth.
Quote from ARogueTrader:Now, if you want to live in a world of if_________, then ________ conditional truths, [then] be my guest
Quite accurate. Conditional truths are such as they are gained via conditional instrumentation. The truth is dependent on the accuracy and quality of the instrumentation. A red filter would color the world red.
Unconditional truths would rely not on conditions that could change, but would be true no matter what the conditions. Until such time that your tools of truth gathering are perfect themselves, there can be no absolute truth, just conditional and relative truths.
I have heard apologists try to squirm, but you must take the prize for wiggle of the week.
You made yet another goof. You were attempting to assert that I want to live in a world of conditional truths.
You obviously did not notice the way in which YOU were actually creating your world of 'conditional truths' in the very sentence you constructed.
Then your form is to blame me for living in a world of conditional truths.
The complete irony of that would be just too funny, if it weren't so ridiculous.
But that IS your form, to try and accuse others of all the things you portray yourself. And that was your own quintessential demonstration of it.
The rest of your stuff as usual is the same old blah trolled out when called to account for your groundless remarks, so I won't waste my time with it.
Apart from perhaps to illustrate yet another goof you have made....
Quote from ARogueTrader:
Well, naturally, you respond as any other emotional driven and immature human being does who has not recovered from their own childhood wounding....
You have knowledge of my childhood. According to you, it was wounded.
But suddenly, after bringing this to your attention....
Quote from ARogueTrader:
I know nothing about your childhood, as I never claimed to have knowledge of your childhood.
The denial kicked in
Quote from ARogueTrader:
If you were to read carefully what I have written, I have speculated that you were abused in some way as a child by religion, at least abused in your own mind.
I did read carefully, I always do, although in your case it is usually a waste of good time. You did not speculate ,,you did not mention anything about wounding or abuse being conditional upon religion. Just more and more denial..but too late... your goof is out!
Didn't stop your squirm and wiggle though.
The denial on a level which you portray, and the manner in which you over react to my critical analysis of your expressed beliefs, is way too over the top to assume you are capable of reasonable understanding of what is being said to you.
It seems you cannot handle the possibility of being wrong. On just about everything you have put forward which is then shown as faulty, questionable or downright contradictory, you retreat by first making abusive attacks and then resorting to denial..... leaving your issues as remaining unresolved, you make no progress.
