Your inability to express yourself simply makes your attempts at philosophy one of two things:
a) a juvenile attempt at developing a personal worldview but taking everything way too seriously and expecting everyone to share your personal sensibilities;
b) trolling.
ETA: and especially in these times of full-throttle anti-intellectualism, it is important for people who deem themselves "intellectuals" to climb down the fucking Ivory tower and let everyone understand their message. Otherwise it's just a waste of time.
Also, I'm leaning towards the second option, since you still have trouble using BBCode to quote people even though it has been explained very clearly how to do it... And besides, there's a button that does that automatically! You can't mess it up. Jeez.
What on earth is this constant and absurdly obsessive insistence upon simplicity ?! It simply is not possible to put considerations as complex as those of describing the defeasibility of extant Scriptural mistaken notions of Deity, and, of describing mistaken notions employed by current American jurisprudence, which mistaken juristic notions are based on the mistaken notions entertained by biblical Deity, wherein both Deity and Man mistakenly presuppose that written language of law is somehow determinative of human action ! Occam\s razor cannot possibly apply here. Stripping these considerations down to the bone would make it absolutely impossible for me to impart that which I am severally describing via employing contemporary negative intellectual instruments, which instruments actually are simple, but radically unfamiliar and abstract...You do not have to read Spinoza's entire works to reflect upon his dictum; which both Hegel and Sartre employ in extensio, i.e., "All determination is negation." Thank you...Duane C.
