Let's all have a big fight over my mortal soul.

Yeah, ever eat while watching TV?

You see, you have absolutely no argument whatsoever. Nada. Ziltch. Squat.

So, nature is devoid of color, variety and thought?

Are your opinions of any value when you claim gods and angels are not only part of reality, but have created it?

Reality is what it is, you simply don't like it and want it to be full of ghosts and goblins to justify your dissatisfaction of it.

You mean everyone should think like you, since that is the only right way.

Sam prefers to deflect the discussion to the asinine.

 

Yeah, its asinine to address the fact that it is well known that all people do not think the same way.

 

I could care less if you're pissed. You call people names all the time. Can dish it out but you can't take it?

So, you wish to opine on the color of a red apple? Please do.

 

No that's not it. That's mere distraction. I'm talking about compartmentalisation. People expect certain information to appear only in certain contexts. When new information appears in an unexpected context the brain will often reject the sensory input as anomalous.

 

i suppose your argument is that different religions come from people's incapacity to process facts... ok

 

Sorry, I compartmentalised your post because I was eating.

Isn't that what we term as bias?

 

Apparently, according to your cult, we are DEMANDED to think like you. We are DEMANDED to think that it is fact the moon was split in half. We are DEMANDED to worship an invisible, indemonstrable being. We are DEMANDED to treat our equals as inferior beings.

In fact, the DEMANDS of your cult are explicit. I make no such demands.

 

My claim was that our imperfect senses mean that different people will often perceive the same information in different ways. It's a commonplace, and in no way controversial.

Not quite. I know what I believe and don't believe. I just don't equate belief with proof.

 

I think different religions come because at different times, people had different ideas about what God means. Theism has always been an innate part of people, they have just expressed it differently. Ultimately the difference between theists and atheists is very simple. All theists believe that there is a reason for the way the universe, the world and everything in it is the way it is. All atheists don't. The differences in the ideas of God can be related to how much intellectual development and understanding there is of the world.

 

A form of, yes.

 

You confuse thinking with believing. They are not the same, however you've never been able to make that distinction.

Thats merely your opinion.

 

Please use my examples to explain your position. So far, you have not.

Theists equate belief with thinking. Their opinions are based on beliefs, not on the corporeal.

 

No, it is a fact. Please present your arguments, otherwise shut the fuck up.

 

Are you sure you're processing the same information I am? Perhaps you need to re-read the posts and eliminate your bias.

 

We know. Hence the problem.

The inability to process information does not preclude the information process.
