The question was about what YOUR point is, not Dostoevsky's. Is that too straightforward a question for you to answer directly?
Point regarding what? Regarding what point? Is that an elaborate question for you to answer directly?

Methinks they meant the one on top of your head, troll.

“To terrify children with the image of hell, to consider women an inferior creation—is that good for the world?”
― Christopher Hitchens

"That fear first created the gods is perhaps as true as anything so brief could be on so great a subject". - George Santayana

"If this is the best God can do, I'm not impressed". - George Carlin

My, my, aren't you a thick one. Let's try this again:

Why did you feel the need to put that particular Dostojevski quote here? What meaning does it have to you? What do you want to point out with it?
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura

I put that quote so the everyone else may read. That's the point.
The quote as if it asks you - what meaning does it have to you. That's the point.
I don't want to point out much with it as I can't say much better than Dosotoesvky? Do you athiest? That's the point.

Try it.

It means absolutely fuck all to me. It's mindless drivel.

I guess you're not going to be happy with that answer...

Fedor Dostoesvky


From his posts and his tag line I get the impression that he is trying to pretend a fiction writter, as it were, would make a better scientist than a scientist.

He is trying to defend this narcissistic, self indulgent fantasy of an intellectual weakling by claiming there are parts of science that can never be reached by science, but must be reached by mushy headed wishthinking such as what probabaly define the outer limits of his own capabilities.

Am I pretending a literature major or Dostoesvky? What does the science have to do as to what Dostoevsky wrote?
