Speaking of numbers... You know why 5 feels kinda crappy instead of "meh" on a scale of 1-10 happiness-wise? Because 5 isn't halfway on a scale of 1-10. 1-5 is the lower end and 6-10 is the higher end. 5.5 would be "meh". 5 is the higher end of crappy, not the middle.
Now.... On a scale of 0-10 5 actually is the middle. 0-4 is the crappy half, 6-10 is the better half and 5 is the "meh" middle. That's why when someone asks "how do you feel on a scale of 1-10?" 5 always feels kind of crappy instead of halfway. Because it isn't halfway and it's still kind of crappy.
The next time someone asks you how you feel on a scale of 1-10 answer their question with a question by saying "Surely you mean 0-10 or 1-11 so there's actually a middle without going into decimals?"
That's the only thing I have to say about numbers.

I believe I broke him. Can you break something that's already broken? I guess that makes sense.

Suppose I didn't have a reason, why would I be proof of that? What if most theists are grounded with reason and I was not?
Catholic_Lady has presented solid down to earth arguments for God with objective morality. She presented even a Proffessor explaining the moral argument very well and proving each of it's premises.
You wouldn't know proof and evidence if it hit you in the head!

I can have a conversation with CL. She's a sensible person. Be more like her, MK.

Because it makes you feel better.
No, because you repeatedly provide evidence of it.
Pity you don't provide evidence of anything else.
Me believing things to make me feel better? Yeah you believe in an imaginary friend who takes care of you and sends you to heaven if you're a good boy for him and I'm the one who believes things for comfort, lol.

I remember at a point when people became SUPER rude with her(not most, but some people did).
So what if I don't have the etiquette that Catholic Lady does (I wish I did).
It's no reason to call people names or attack them. We are coming here to have a conversation.
You show no love to actually learning anything pertaining to the sacred. I once made a thread about the nature of Salah and it's wisdom, and people showed so much hostility.
But if someone mocks Salah without understanding, it's ok.
You mock what you don't understand. Understand it first, then perhaps, you are then grounded to mock.

I am just shocked MK wasn't already completely broken.

I believe in the beloved and love are interlinked, and I believe in the source of all beauty and glory, and I believe in grand architect of the universe, and I believe in the helper and supporter of believer. Yes it makes me feel better, so what? It happens to be grounded on vision and truth!
Have a good day!

It's a number I like to have on the tip of my tongue.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
