Why did you need to repeat? Had I not already answered you? Are you in the habit of asking a question and repeating it emphatically despite having been already answered?
I apologise for not reading carefully your entire post. It does feel a bit like being hit around the head repeatedly with a punch bag. Are you actually shouting, or is it just the way you type?
I suggest you start reading other people's posts carefully.... you might see more answers to your questions which might make you pause for thought before you ask the same questions again and again without ever bothering to read the answers other people give you.
It would take an hour or more to read everything you just asked me to read.
Perhaps if you could keep your responses brief and to the point a little more, I would be able to cope.
All you needed to say was that it is a belief based on practical realism.
There, just one sentence. You should know by now that I will pick up your meaning quickly, without the need for lengthy explanation.
I suggest you CAREFULLY read the following posts (and this one too of course):
It is not necessary to read all that material, as I already know what you have to say and its summed up well by your use of "practical realism".
Two points really, I would appreciate brevity in your response.
1, both practicality and realism have little to do with the circumstances of existence, as they (the circumstances) are entirely beyond our current perception. Your practical realism is little more than navel gazing in this respect.
2, You are using the word belief in the ambiguous way hi-lighted by Navigator. Ie, in the sense, I must believe that the words I am writing actually mean something, or how would I possibly know for certain that they do, or that I know what it is they mean. This usage of the word belief tends to insert the word into virtually every sentence and thought and is entirely ridiculous.
What use is belief of any kind when engaging in practical realism, it is practical after all, and belief is not?
If you take points 1 and 2, it looks as though you are navel gazing while tied up in knots in the umbilical cord(of belief) and desperately relying on belief to extricate yourself.
Because sane, intelligent, logical, non-wishful thinking and rational observation of and enquiry into
REALITY has not yielded any evidence whatsoever for it so far after so long.
So I repeat
Yes it is belief based upon
Practical Realism... but your
wishful thinking is an illogical fallacy.
If you'd care to demonstrate otherwise then please go ahead.... but so far as we can see, the reality of the matter is that human existence in the overall universal space-time has as much purpose to it as the existence of a cockroach.
There's that practical realism again. Can't you see yet that it is entirely irrelevant to the question?
The only comment you have made which does actually give an answer to the question (is there a purpose behind the existence we find ourselves in?). Is your claim that the notion of purpose is a figment of the human mind and it is some kind of fallacy, or stupidity to apply it to anything external to the mind.
Please clarify?(with brevity).
