Death and Misery
3rd year. I graduate next year. So no, I do not have a degree.
And your major being?
... You really didn't figure that out?
Quote:
Actually a normal person wouldn't think that in that method at all. You would. You are not the norm. A lot of people are paranoid, or even "respectfully and reasonably fearful" of their neighbors, and as such they do indeed keep them at
arms length. God however is a personal being that you actually cannot keep distant, by admitting belief in the deity you accept that God sees all you do, and in turn cannot reject Him like you can your fellow brother.
There are many people who trust God more than even their spouses, namely because God does not lie, and people do.
Quote:
On the bolded--repetition. On the italics -- now, who is the one pointing out the obvious?
You ask the same questions you tend to get the same answers. Also that's what answering questions is all about, pointing out the obvious in conjunction with that which may be shrouded. Now if you're going to keep pestering me with this at least be
nice about it. You're lucky I even answered the same question twice, let alone the three times you've asked it.
Quote:
Correction -- Never stated that I was the norm, go back and reread to verify.
You don't have to. Let's be honest with ourselves, where is the base for all of our opinions and views? Within us. In general you are always "the norm" when it comes to your thoughts and opinions; there's little more than that to you. It is what makes you human, and the simplicity that has to be overcome no less; we are deductive thinkers. Everything here has emanated from you, not fact, not truth, you. After all it's your opinion, which you complained you could not fit in edgewise.
Quote:
Baseless on what grounds? I merely giving you a
hypothetical scenario, do not try to misconstrue what was stated.
The fact that it is hypothetical does not make it suddenly well-based. Where are you getting the thoughts from? Why is this person paranoid of God and Man, when the two are distinctly separate? Then again this makes sense, but only from your viewpoint, and if I enter it everything is clear. Yet to an outsider this is lunacy, to the learned, a joke.
Quote:
It was merely a run through on how I would think someone of that state of mind would think. And you are, merely, on the assumption that they are "critically mentally ill or consciously object to but still subconsciously recognize God", in
your opinion.
The fact of the matter is, because I've done this before, no matter how many sources I get it wouldn't alter your perceptions on your world. Why quote books and cases when instead you will freely believe what you want? You are already of the mind that your forced vision of the world makes sense; nothing, and I mean nothing, will shake that.
Fighting opinions is like fighting virii; you just cannot win. The only cure is time.
Quote:
The quote in the previous statement was never actually stated nor in such words if that is what
you inferred from it. And games--- that's what people like you think of opinions, isn't it?
In essence, yes. I don't take your seriously; should I?
