This is simply a big, fat argument ad populum, MK. Not evidence.
You don't get to just declare an assertion 'clear and obviously true' by fiat. That's not how this works. 'It's true cuz...duh, it's obvious,' is neither an argument nor evidence.
It's not as simple as that. To state what I state is wrong is one thing, but that no understands that perception but me, then when reminded majority of humans past and present understand it, it is a good question to ask why don't some Atheists understand it.
You see if you guys can go past the "your statements are too vague" or get me to define every single word used, we can get into an actual discussion over the truth of the statements.
But this only MysticKnight understands these spiritual topics has to stop, because most of humans, and great philosophers like Plato, understood this.
I never said it is true because majority believe in it, I am talking about understanding it, which you many of you keep stating you don't understand.
Perhaps it is because most living humans and most of the humans of the past did not stand on the shoulders of giants, as we can now.
Perhaps we do understand why you think you (and many others) understand things the way you do.... but we see further... We see where that understanding likely came from.... we see that it is/was wrong... and we are just trying to ask you questions that will hopefully spark your own intellect to climb on to those shoulders and see beyond the narrow-mindedness of the past.... perhaps.
