Hell no!

Saying that "1" itself -the number- is God; like building a shrine with a big statue that looks like number "1" and bow to it, that's what I mean by "brain damage", I should've said "ignorance in language" instead, if I was to be nice, and "a waste of time/ an act of disregard" if I was to be rude ..

Quote:Like the verse above -really meant- exactly what was written?  This couldn't simply be a suggestion that you remove their ability to steal...which need not necessarrily mean the chopping of hands....as the verse above doesn't -actually- mean that god is the number one?  

Is the color "red" really red? is blue "really" blue?
Like does reality really is reality? or is it flipped in reality? is "X" really "X"?

I guess you got my point..The power of syntax and semantics, is to "understand each other" as we speak, i.e taking the meanings -semantics- as they are, represented in the correct form of syntax, or let's say Grammar; the syntax support em semantics, so left means left and right means right, there is no out of it..linguistically I mean


Quote:Your intra-faith disagreements don't interest me, I'll leave you to hammer those out with each other.  Only commenting on the difficulties you've created for yourself in approaching your disagreement in this manner.

BTW, I don't think we even follow the same faith.
