Quote:(Grandizer) Show a bit of intellectual humility, will you?
Very well. I think that I am right. I suppose that's once removed from being absolutely right, right? But the thing is, in myself, I know this to be the case. So it's not a matter of pride or humility, but simply of fact. I have the fact at hand. Actually I think everyone does, but they suppress it, or it has been suppressed in them.
Quote:Bullshit.
Once one arrives at a certain point in one's conscious development, the obvious becomes obvious again.
Quote:That people like you are wired to believe in the divine does not mean the divine therefore exists. It only means that you are wired that way. You still need to produce evidence that shows the divine exists, something I have not seen any theist do to this day.
And I am not against evidence. I am all for evidence. But I think all evidence can do is to condition the mind to uncover facts which themselves go beyond evidence, and towards the core of what is real, which is within and self-authenticating.
Quote:It doesn't offend me, but it frustrates me that you think this is a compelling argument that you're making when it just isn't.
It may not seem compelling to you in your illusioned state, but that does not mean it isn't compelling to others who come with a different view to the evidence....
(btw, I can't get the quote function working properly, you know how to fix it?)
