Post: RE: Never Mind

Basically, I said I came into these forums to find people willing to talk about their beliefs in an intelligent and philosophically thoughtful way. I was a bit rude in the way I phrased it, saying tha...

Post: RE: ...Truth?

There's nothing to refute; perhaps you misunderstood. That statement does answer my original question: what makes you pursue truth? Thank you. For you, your decision seems to be arbitrary. In other wo...
