Nothing wrong with that. Are you familiar with Hinduism?

Since you don't remember when I said beliefs are unverifiable facts, I'll jog your memory: beliefs are unverifiable facts.

And emoticons and insults? I believe it doesn't fit your profile in other threads.

Come on...

A little bit. I've studied parts of the Upanishads, Mahabharata, and the Bhagavad Gita. Not in any incredible depth.

edit: Hinduism does not actually resonate with me at all, however.

Capiche?
Claiming one can proceed in the world solely on basis of VERIFIABLE facts is simply not credible.

It is no more credible than claiming existence of others to be unprovable.

It is no more credible than claiming atheism involves no belief, neither does any atheist seek explanation for origins, nor apparently does atheism allow for curiosity or hypothesis regarding origins.

Simply not credible.

Okay. Thought you might be kidding but wasn't sure.

I've really enjoyed the encounters with the philosophy. So I was just curious. Practitioners gain significant peace through spiritual, physical, and meditation ceremony. It's a very interesting thing to witness.

I've also worked with iterations of hypnosis and biofeedback. They're techniques likely with foundation in spiritual meditation. TM is too. At times, they are extremely effective techniques.

There are certainly more facts to back up the assertion that there is no God than there are facts backing up the assertion that there is. I don't think there is any disputing that fact is there?


Please tell me some of these facts!

Like your belief that there is no God. I'm still waiting for your verifiable proof that God doesn't exist. So far you've provided nothing.

All he has is a hope, a belief. He has no proof. And he knows it. Only a fool would say he does.

Can I get an updated quadrant graphic where the end result is "I don't know"?

The proof is on you. I provide my facts. You answer for me to validate yours. That's not discourse. That's witnessing.

And I believe that a Christian thing to do is apologize for transgressions and admit to sin. You made statements about me and had thoughts of ill will towards me.

I really don't care. But if it is between you and your god, then answer truthfully. He knows. If you can't, you will find out the real answer in judgment.

Let's see if you take accountability for your poor actions towards me.

Actually it is credible.

You just want to argue for the sake of arguing.

That is the crux of your base.

I don't care about origins. I base my beliefs on observable truths.

I do not care about your origins, or origins for that matter.

The fricking end.

Your bs has worn thin.

You probably don't know it, but the majority are shaking their heads at your premises.

I already explained facts versus belief. Ten hours ago and too many pages to account for in the grand scheme of this thread.

You don't justify your questionable actions. You proceed down a poorly planned path you created.

Sad...

No.

I hate the lack of free will in choices when it comes to facts and beliefs.

Frankly, there is a lot of reading I wouldn't do either if I was not involved in this thread.

What I have conveyed will matter to those that have truly been involved or read at their leisure.
