Life is Just an Illusion?

[Iacchus]

Excuse me, I think I misunderstand you. Are you really saying here that Atheism, Communism and Socialism are "variations of the same thing"? Please, for once in your life, just a yes or no will do here.

Different variations of Godlessness? (i.e., stems from or, the promotion thereof). Yes.

It is not the passion I speak of, but the knowledge. And your lack of understanding of science does make you ignorant. Not stupid, but yes, certainly, ignorant. You could read and understand to overcome this, but your self-professed lack of passion for the subject, while not directly causing your ignorance, does now maintain your ignorance.

I am not ignorant however ... of God that is.

I do not use the word ignorance lightly, nor do I use it as an insult. There are many topics about which I am ignorant--none of us can know everything any more. I just try my best not to speak beyond my knowledge on those topics.

That's fair enough.

You do not think he showed guilt? I would strongly disagree. I could ask, though, on what evidence to you base your conclusion that he showed no guilt? How do you know you did not simply miss it? Your previous posts on this thread do not lead me to believe you paid close attention to Clinton's life.

The man was a pathological liar.

You are being evasive here. By your own description, you came to a conclusion which you held very strongly, but which (again by your own description) you came to in the absence of evidence. Here you go on about knowing, belief, absolutes...but you cannot get around the fact that you are holding a strong belief for which you have no evidence. I could see holding a weak belief, a tentative belief, a belief you are willing to question, in the absence of evidence...but such a strong belief, resistant to change (as evidenced in this thread), without evidence?

If you understood that God was absolute however, you might have a different opinion.

Ok, now I see why you are being evasive.

What is a strong belief by the way, if not compared to that which is absolute? Would you suggest the fact that the apple exists is an absolute -- and, indeed it is! -- or, the belief that the apple exists is an absolute?

No, I would not.

Why does it strive for accuracy then? (while claiming to be self-correcting). Accuracy compared to what?
