I know it's your subjective opinion. I'm ask why you hold that? You don't believe he is actually bad but just think he is bad and hold that opinion is right. Seems contradictory to me. So perhaps explain.

Your opinion may be different because you are you and are born in your particular circumstance.
The moon still has the same circumference, and I still weight the same, regardless of your opinion or mine.
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god. If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.

That's not answering the question really. You believe you are right, but then don't believe you are grounded to say so. So what makes you think you are right?

Yes I believe everything has spiritual existence like the Native Americans did.
Neat. I also believe humans and the non-living have more in common than most. Although, as always, in the opposite direction you have gone. I devalue humans, while you elevate non-humans.
There is a definite symmetry between our two very different opinions.

Yes I do, and I also believe they glorify God with a praise that we don't understand spiritually. They don't have the words like we do, but, they have their own spiritual glorification of God.
So when a dog licks its asshole for hours a day, it's glorifying God? Sounds about right I guess.

LOL, yes, this -would- follow perfectly considering what we have come to understand about mystic's version of "logic."

Indeed, he needs to have some excuse with which to wave away the people whose very existence utterly demolishes any "rational" justification for his faith.
In a perfect world, I think, we'd just go away so he doesn't have to think about anything that might interrupt his addiction to bad poetry.

Your opinion may be different because you are you and are born in your particular circumstance.

Probably because beliefs change and are not completely based on choice. Example: He/She believes they are right because of the current information they have.They are not stating that belief as fact because there is still a possibility that new information might change their belief.
My opinion at least.

It's called self awareness. I am aware that what I feel to be true isn't necessarily true. Doesn't stop the feeling though.

I'm asking why you feel you are right. Not why you don't feel you know you are right. Why do you have a feeling anyways? Why not becoem like Wallym, and not praise or condemn humans at all?
