Tourettes (water canopy thread)

[Daystar]

Are you sure about that? You'd buy into the whole canopy thing even if you didn't believe the bible was truth?

I didn't say that. I said that I would consider the Bible relevant when discussing things in the Bible whether or not I believed the Bible to be true. Just as if I were discussing Buddhism I would find Gautama or Buddhist text important when considering Buddhism. Or Richard Dawkins when considering Atheism.

Lol funny. Of course non-belief is not a belief! Its absence of a belief! You don't choose belief and you don't choose non-belief! Belief is not a matter of policy. Non-belief is not a belief! Its the opposite. If I don't believe then I don't believe do I? Don't believe doesn't=believe.

I think that you mentioned that before and I was remiss in responding to it. Is belief a matter of policy. I have never considered it as such, meaning I have never given it consideration, but I suppose that it is. You choose belief. You form it based upon a variety of influences, from traditional to cultural, factual and spiritual. I also disagree that non belief isn't a belief. If you believe that there is most likely no gods that is a belief you have chosen regardless of your . . . evidence.

P.S: What is all this 400 about?

Its a secret. I can't say. But I will be dropping hints from time to time. Cryptic messages. Hidden meanings. Gross mispellings and seemingly insane babbling. Raise of sunshine. I met a god in a paradise beneath the desert sand, in debt to no one under no man's command!
