Death and Misery
Why is that so hard? Humans can lie. God cannot. I do not see the difficulty in this reasoning.
Why do I need 6 billion versions of myself when I can have one version of a being thousands upon thousands times greater than the collective? Why do I need you?
Not hard. You are not thinking your answers through logically. My answer is based upon the
hypothetical mind you've created for yourself. If you believe everything's a conspiracy, then I repeat myself, how is it,
in that state of mind, that you can believe that god is who he says he is? Can he provide proof that he is the one and only god you know of and cannot harm you? I find it very difficult that you yourself cannot see the logical order of my own thinking. It is unfathomable that you are unable to logically think of a way to explain yourself given a scenario. On the bolded part -- Where in the world did this come from? It is
irrelevant to the given scenario.

I know most people aren't anything but puppets and zombies feeding off of the words given to them like children would for candy. They are told what to believe, and believe it, told what to fight for and fight for it, told how to live and live it. It's when you're asked "Who are you?" that you curl in terror, when it goes beyond those superficial characteristics and into the very weaving of your personality and the identity you label as yourself. After a while you begin to learn to decipher who is and is not right about who they are.
Okay, you can say that and it is
kind of true, but again, irrelevant to the scenario. So explain to me how this is an answer to anything I have stated. You are getting side-tracked. Perhaps you are confusing my argument with Zero's? Blending them together doesn't make you sound smart, I suggest you reorganize your answers into logical responses to the arguments presented to you.

What if no one speaks to me? Am I all alone? Is faith unjustified? Yes, mental illness built upon devout faith, how original, how absolutely daft. What are you going to tell me next? That death is upon me for my foolishness, when you don't even know or understand what's going on in front of you? I need no voices. I need not any physical sense. This is something far beyond your 6th.
I am using obvious statements because you, yourself, fail to include them in your arguments, which by fault means that you did not execute all means of covering the material. Which, in turn, can result in the obvious being thrown back into your face. And okay, I'd like to try to live in the world
without using your senses to understand the world around you, and in doing so, you'd have to start from scratch any pre-existing knowledge that you have of the world would be taboo because it was experienced with senses. Therefore, how can you know what you know without them? Because seeing (this includes reading) means that you cannot possibly believe what you have read merely because you read it, and because you read it, that implies that it does not make it true. Therefore, what you have seen, read, etc means absolutely nothing and carries no meaning or regard or knowledge of the world. Thus, basically, making your argument invalid because you have seen what you have writ.

I read books. It seems to save me a lot of the trouble you fools seem to pursue. "How can you learn from the present if you don't seek future err?" What a stupid question. Why do I have to make any mistakes? Why can't I avoid all of these pitfalls by knowing and eliminating the sources? Why does it always end with that pitiful excuse? Experience is hardly a valuable teacher.
Learning from someone else's experience through a novel is just the same. It is similar to a parable or a moral story. Just because said experiences may be fictional does not mean that they are not in and of themselves experiences. Another thought would be as to why people do not
learn at all, when history is constantly repeating itself and wars are continually fought without regard to examining past reasonings, thus making an ever continuing cycle of stupidity. Knowledge through thought is not the same as knowledge through action, nonetheless each provides valuable lessons from it. People typically do not learn by merely understanding, but more so through actions. As is the common saying, "actions speak louder than words", however, I need not remind you of that because you think that you are far too knowledgeable to even think about common sense.

There is a stark difference between being alone and being lonely. Some of the greatest men and women of the world lived their lives alone, with acquaintances kept at arms length if not further, fulfilling their social needs and sexual needs by whim rather than by intimate connection. Such was wise. Also do you not understand that humans are selfish? We do not cry for the dead; we cry for ourselves. Even when cut down in our prime we are sorry for
our loss, it is the living who suffer, not the dead, so why should I care that nature has taken it's course?
People of relatively close nature have died before. It was only the first time this occurred that I foolishly mourned them prior to discovering I was simply mourning myself. So, I don't function in your worldview, what now?
Educate me.
In being alone for a period of time, one becomes lonely, for someone, who does not like the obvious, you surely never take it into consideration. Okay, they had acquaintances, meaning they were not alone, you need to rethink what the word means. However, my argument was that in the given scenario you had cut yourself off from the world, thus implying you were alone, without acquaintances, obviously. Humans are insanely selfish, I will give you that. And yes, it is true, they cry for themselves, but that is beside the point, the point of the matter in said scenario (as pointed out, yet again -- your powers of observation and comprehension continue to fail you, at a certain point I'm going to have to stop throwing answers at you) was that you felt pain for yourself. Many people do not function in "worldview", I was merely giving you the paradoxes upon which average idiots think. None of them actually know the
true reasons for most of their feelings, but in understanding, I
suppose you are sympathizing with them by explaining them. That does not in any way say that you are on par with me. You overlook the obvious, and the obvious are important points, and by overlooking such, your arguments are completely compromised by them. A complete mundane answer would totally jeopardize your entire "worldview" merely because you do not stop to even think of the mundane. More and more people would question your view and ask you to explain it rather that spend their time disputing with you as I have done. At least I can give you a valid argument, whereas commonplace people would not have even had the knowledge of such statements. Moreover, you are completely ignorant in thinking that most people
do see the world from your point of view, eventually you will have to explain in terms that regular idiots can comprehend.
Now, can you keep up with me and properly remain
on topic?
