if proof of fact was available

then there would be no point



it would be no point in "believing" because you would "know"

if proof of fact was available

then there would be no point

anyone with any sense could believe

proven fact

but to believe in the non proven

takes faith

and without faith in the belief

then it is irrelevant

as for a cristianity example

thomas sayin g unless i thrust my hand in his wounds i will not believe

jesus' response

you see and now you believe even more blessed are those that have not seen but believe with their faith

(not exact quote but anyone with any sense should understand it)

up is up because relative to another position it is a little higher than the previous up which is lower and down relative to the previous up. since the universe is limitless there is always a position that is more up so anyone that claim to be "up” in a hierarchy is in fact stating they are "down" relative to someone else who is higher in the hierarchy ..hence "up is down"

so those that are trying to pass off up as truth without sufficient proof to make such a claim are lying to themselves and to others, while using the word higher is only a way to justify the deception

“up is down” there is just no way around this logic

ok adj4u here's the same post again and I will address all your points


adj4u...if proof of fact was available

funches..then you would not have to only believe you would know


adj4u..then there would be no point

funches...there's always a point


adj4u..anyone with any sense could believe

funches...anyone with any sense wouldn't believe it's truth


adj4u...proven fact

funches..facts are used to explain possible truths


adj4u...but to believe in the non proven

funches...is why you can only but believe


adj4u....takes faith

funches...which is little more than deceviing onself


adj4u..and without faith in the belief

funches...and without deceiving oneself


adj4u....then it is irrelevant
funches...nothing is ever irrelvant


adj4u...as for a cristianity example
funches..or for a unprovable senerio


adj4u....thomas sayin g unless i thrust my hand in his wounds i will not believe
funches...and after you finish could you call a doctor

adj4u...jesus' response
funches...and then this guy wearing a toga said

adj4u...you see and now you believe even more blessed are those that have not seen but believe with their faith
funches...you no longer have to "believe" because you now "know" it's a wound there

adj4u...(not exact quote but anyone with any sense should understand it)
funches...right anyone with non-sense

and that adj4u is why it's hard to address all your points in your posts because your tactic is to fashion them in a way in which it takes so long to address all of them that you have to take the main points and address only those ....and then you point out that all of them wasn't addressed

in other words adj4u..if you want a fair response to your posts you should try to frame them in a easy read-able paragraph

For some people 'seeing is believing' so for them, they only believe what they know.

So there is some arguable semantics associated with how you are using the word 'believe' everyone may not use it to mean the same thing you do.

This is why we have the word ‘faith’, to have faith in something is to believe it without knowing it is true.

I believe a lot of things that I ‘know’. Knowing something does not mean that I no longer believe it to be true. On the contrary, I seldom believe anything until I’m convinced that I do ‘know’ that it’s true, at least within the framework of some structured logic.

Now I realize that this is entirely semantics, but if you’re going to base an entire argument on this your should have started with the word ‘faith’ rather than ‘believe’. Even though I know what you mean, I think it is a poor use of words.

Finally, to base everything on logic is to ‘believe’ in logic. Yet the very existence of the universe itself defies logic. The fact that anything can exist at all defies logic. Where would it have initially come from? And if it came from somewhere, where did that thing come from., etc.

The universe itself is illogical thus proving that logic itself has no value in “truth”.

People who believe in God will jump up and down and scream, “That’s right! So there must be a God!” which of course is utterly absurd because all they are doing is giving that initial illogical thing a name and calling it ‘God’. They haven’t added anything to the initial question, all they have done is show a complete ignorance of the depth of the initial question to begin with and toss out a three-letter word “God” that supposedly answers something. But it’s no answer. All they are really doing is saying, “We give up, this is all too deep for us! So let’s just call the unknown God and leave it at that ok?”

In other words, they are Philosophobics.

So there you go Funcies, instead of calling them ‘delusional’ why not just call them ‘Philosophobics’ drinker

That is very intersting premise 'funches'.

I have 'denounced' the 'baffling', mis-use, and mischaracterization of faith, and beliefs many a times in previous threads.

It is one of the cornerstones of my peeves with 'fundies' and other radical and militant types, whom in the end, only believe in one thing:
... THEY OWN THE TRUTH, BECAUSE...!!!
... since THEY (believe they) have THE TRUTH,...
... THEY (are delusionally convinced they) are RIGHT,
and YOU are WRONG!

It is the clearest expression of the most primitive and barbaric (uneducated) INSTINCT of humans. The original MISCHARACTERIZATION, or false representation of the human mind: the separation of our 'being' and 'soul' within ourselves!

Mischaracterization because in this process, our basic intincts run the show, and not 'spirit'. Not enlightment either, an certainly not what is true!!!

Mischaracterization, because a good number of us completely lose sight of the very essence of faith and belief.
Completely lose sight of that which you point at 'fuches', this dimension of 'doubt', or a dimension of acknowledging and representing the mysterious; the 'unknown' and the 'unknowable', in life, as experienced by humans, the essential and necessary dimension of faith and beliefs for such phenomenon.

Faith is nothing other than ...

'... a belief NOT substantiated BY PROOF', ...

'... SPIRITUAL ACCEPTANCE of truth for oneself (personal experience: not THE TRUTH) or realities not certified by reason', ...

'... belief in God; belief in the doctrines or teachings of a religion'.

And in that sense I will say "... In faith (limited to personal dimension) , In truth (limited to persoanl dimension), indeed !!!".

False prophets ARE NOT those whom share their faith, beliefs or religious tenets in 'GOOD FAITH', ... for what they are: 'NOT substantiated BY PROOF', and 'not certified by reason'.

False prophets as defined in the very book that they swear by.
They are rather those whom INSIST and IMPOSE on everyone, including any other believer,

... that THEIR personal interpretation of 'faith',

... THEIR personal interpretation of 'beliefs',

... and THEIR personal intepretation of 'religion',

are SUBSTANTIATED by their 'personal interpretation of proof', and certified by their 'personal interpretation of reason'.

Obviously, such gross mischaracterizations must always be denounced for the obvious perversion of truth that they are.

it doesn't make a difference how anyone use the word believe because the word believe automatically entails doubt


So there you go Funcies, instead of calling them ‘delusional’ why not just call them ‘Philosophobics’

i did not realize you had such a hard time understanding
the basic logic behind religion

all was related

it was an easy read

the basis of any religion is belief and faith

that is why you are here making your pointless arguments

because you realize no one will give you an acceptable ]
answer to you question

thus causing an on going argument

giving you the much needed attention

you seem to crave so badly

(not that there is anything wrong with that)

hopefully you will find a better discussion format

in the future

unless you are afraid of debating

non belief based issues

it appears you stay in religion nearly all of the time

be well and may much good come to you and yours
