Sense is a function of what you can qualify and so far, you haven't qualified anything.

Well for example, I qualified for you the function of sense.

The fact that you don't realize this means you have something to learn about what qualifying things means, not that I have to answer to you for what I have been qualifying from the outset.

Gottservant I'm serious. Is English your first language? You never answered me. I'm not trying to insult you. We just need to know why none of what you say makes sense. I am willing to give you the benefit of the doubt that you're not an idiot.

Is English your first language?

Where I am the government pays for your hospital, but the downside is that it is very small but the flipside of that is, whether you have a problem or not they try to have you out within a couple of weeks. Medication these days is all its about, they see that as the total solution. No counselling, no nutrition or nutrition advice, no meditation. But regular meals. In that sense it is a lot like hospital anywhere else.

The upside is of course, that you get to meet some very interesting people. It is very surreal being around people who have obvious problems, concealed very expertly by medication that makes them dull and weary. You get talkative types and manic types and animated types, every so often, but on the whole people are just washed out and watching tv or smoking in the courtyard. When they talk to you, you see their funny side and more often than not they can relate to you very soberly.

I did not have a serious problem, from my point of view, although I can see that from other people's perspective I was hard to understand. That's not to say I couldn't explain myself, but at least initially I was not making a lot of sense. The medication basically reduced me to a very ordinary person, without a lot of mobility in my personality. The time I spent in hospital was torture (confinement was the problem, on medication it is worse) but it was torture I had to go through. I still don't understand why I had to go through it, but in a way I am determined to be glad I did.

People who don't understand you, have no right to lock you up.

Madness is not a sin, if you can't cope without it.

Having a mental condition, is no indication of the quality of your character.

The problem here is that there is a distinct lack of moral address, coming from the Evolutionist camp.

I have tried to point it out, I have tried to make it clear, I have tried to engage with the terms of the theory, to no avail.

So let me make a suggestion, if you can't work out why people getting together to act morally live longer - at Church - maybe you don't really understand survival as well as you think you do.

There are probably more out there, if you want to stop making blind assertions and go check.

Correlation is not a necessary condition for causation, no.

That's why people believe in God.

It is of course a sufficient condition for some causation, though.
