  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

My God makes sure that when your god catches up to a person --- that person goes where he is supposed to go.
You are sounding like you actually believe in God. People are starting to talk. They are starting to call you crazy... :)

How cute. Dad, the master of unproven, unsupportable and laughable ideas, calls science a mockery.

Wakeupcall: no one with half a brain takes you seriously.
Those with a WHOLE brain, would have to, however. I am content with that. The bible is just about the most tested, well preserved, and tried and proven through the ages document, and best seller that there is on the planet. You can laugh at what it has to say on what science is ignorant of, all you like. Even cackle, if you like for all the good it will do. But, can you focus, and chew gum at the same time? That is the question.


Don't even bother to try to use your version of reasoning in reply: it won't work on an intelligent being. Although I guess you could respond if you want to make a fool of yourself again...
Don't bother telling me what to respond to. I like to give the lurkers something to laugh about, while you cackle.
Cheers

Who, me?

I only believe in one God more than atheists claim they believe.

;)

That is enough to make them think you blew a fuse. Me, I one up you there. I beleive in thousands of gods that they do not believe in! Including the One true, Living God, and His son. :)

Science of this state belongs in this state, and I am in this state, therefore it is my slave. Not the master of the past and future as you so slyly suggest! I need not bow down to it, and have no idea why people arre so cowed as to think they need to, Be free.

Ahhh.. but I am in this state, so you are also in this state. This state is the state of being in this state. Therefore, to be a slave to this state is to accept you are in this state! The future, past and present states, are by definition all states. Therefore, it becomes obvious that all states are related to all other states in that they are all states. Therefore, the key to the past state is the key to the present and future states!

But creation week is not in this state! Heaven is not in this state, nor indeed could be. The flood is not in this state. That is the point, so, unless you can prove a same state past, you are utterly defeated. Try to take it gently.

Preposterous speculation, based on absolute ignorance. The relation of the old heavens to the new heavens is severed, when the old ones forever disappear. This is elementary stuff. Would I kid a kidder on this?

Nope, those with a whole brain just think you're twice as loopy.
You are only one quarter qualified to comment on that. And even if you were qualified, how would I know that you would not betray your current position? Didn't you used to be a Christian? Have you betrayed that position? If so, you can't be trusted on any new positions. Deal with it.

First we must ask how many states are there in the current state. We know there are 50 states in the Union, therefore 50 current states. How many states were there in the past state? The past state is defined by the number of present states, since all states in the present have their origin (or original state) in the past state. Therefore, there were at least 50 states in the past state before the present state. Now, how about the future state? Clearly, there needs to be at least 50 states in the future state, since there are 50 states in the present state. However, it is possible for the number of future states to increase , but not decrease, since all future states are dependent on the present state. Since the Future state is dependent on the present state, and the prsent state is dependent on the past state, it stands to reason that the future state is also dependent on the past state. This is simple stuff, dad... please try to focus. :preach:

You don't get it, do you?

So where does my contentment come from? The Buddha?

Maybe Paul's contentment was triggered by a little wine he took for his stomache's sake?

Maybe Guatama's contentment came from leaving his wife and son?

Over there --- he's the Enlightened One --- over here --- he'd be in jail.

I don't doubt it. He didn't even have to suffer a hangover.

I worked in social services for many years, and while many absent fathers were in jail, it was seldom for non-support. Besides, Siddhartha, by all accounts was a prince, so he probably left his wife and kid pretty well fixed financially.

And just so you know, the only personality really important in Buddhism is not the Buddha's.

Don't count on it --- who knows what he took under that juniper tree.

And your point? Are you saying he would "luck out" over here?
Besides, Siddhartha, by all accounts was a prince, so he probably left his wife and kid pretty well fixed financially.
Oh, good --- the almighty dollar replaces the deadbeat father --- good thinking.

Maybe they could have wrapped little Siddhartha in a money belt, instead of the loving arms of a father?
And just so you know, the only personality really important in Buddhism is not the Buddha's.
No lie --- I'd shift the emphasis off me too, if I could.

Like I said --- Mr. Not-so-important would be in jail over here.

Or would people like you make his bail so you could sit at his feet and become "enlightened"?

You and dad are the ones who simply don't get it.

There are 3 states of matter... solid, liquid and gas. There are also 50 states in The Union. In addition we can identify other states, such as the states of inebriation, confusion, decay, grace, joy, as well as the state of mind. These states all exist in the current or present state. Since they exist in the current state, they must also have existed in the past state. If they exist in the current state they will also exist in the future state. Therefore the past, present and future states are all interdependent states of being in a state.

How can I explain the state of the state that we find our present state in any clearer to you?

Trying to goad a Buddhist by ragging on the Buddha = hilarious :D. You're a real piece of work, AVVET... :thumbsup:

When I was a lurker...I did laugh. But not in the way you seem to think.

You, like AV, do not seem to understand how people see you.

Oh, I understand perfectly --- we're freaks in a freak show --- (I like that description).

Kinda like Noah probably was --- not to mention Jesus, Himself ---
Matthew 9:24 said:
He said unto them, Give place: for the maid is not dead, but sleepeth. And they laughed him to scorn.
