And of course you were there and saw it all and heard it all .
Another wrong witness in my vocabulary.


No I believe. If you do not then you don't. Some things are hard to believe.

We know the story we just assume his sons age.

The age make quite a profound difference in the power of what was happening.

Would u not agree? Blessings...Miles

Tribo:

Ofcourse that situation would change the whole scenario. What I posted was not an extreme situation at all.
Ofcourse I would have a similar reaction in such a situation.
My point in the OP, is when people get upset, frustrated, and therefore, discriminatory agaisnt others when they don't share their own beliefs.
I think you did not get the point i wanted to state.


sorry TLW, i got your point mine was to have you see no matter what the level of frustration we all act as we will. what may not be frustrating to you or others may be frustrating to someoneelse. thats all.

No , I do not agree . The story from beginning to end is contrarily to wisdom and logic .
The religious stoiries are fairy tales to help people go to sleep and they are with no meaning in real life .

abraham also was going to kill his son because of a voice inside his head... we now call that crazy.

what you call crazy is not necesarily what everybody else call crazy.


Miguel,
if I said to you, wander around the desert for 40 years
Eat nothing but mind-altering hallucigens on a bush, then climb 2000 metres up a mountain (suffering altitude sickness on the way up) in 100 degree heat, when you get to the top you are going to see things that you will not understand (due to being a drug-crazed hippy)

Then come back down the mountain, and tell everyone you have spoken to god and been given rules that everyone must follow ...

Be honest ...

Who is going to believe you?

THAT is crazy


Belushi...While calling TLW to being honest, do you think that you aren't giving a completely accurate description of what the Bible says happened? In all truth, you are automatically ignoring an possibility of the supernatural, which makes your interpretation immediately questionable. Then you imply that the Israelites lived off of psychedelic plants exclusively...that wouldn't have killed Moses? He was 80 years old at the time, an 80 year old man could exclusively eat one type of plant and not die? How about everyone else? That's one heck of a plant if it has every nutrient that the human body needs and gets you high. I think before calling on someone else to be honest, it would be a good idea for you to present the record without the obvious distortions you have thrown in.


No, you are missing the point, I was debating a definition of crazy ... not getting into a theosophical debate.

All of those things you have said are perfectly valid, and I am disputing none of them.

There are no distortions. There is implication. Obviously an 80 year old could not eat one plant and live.

But then ask yourself how could an 80 year old man climb a 2000 metre mountain?

Im fairly fit and when I went up to 3500metres on a mountain in Switzerland, I nearly passed out due to altitude sickness in a train.
