yes but it doesn't explain your propensity for duffery
Dasa was quite clear in his meaning. He alone possessed truth which we were free to discuss with him (like a pupil) but not challenge through debate (like a human being in possession of a brain).

the words of the Psalmist - if the righteous one himself would strike me it would be as
honey to my lips.
Does an apprentice painter question the methods of his master? Nay, he learns first how
to mix pigments, stretch a canvas, the rules of perspective, of composition etc etc Only
when he has mastered these mundane yet necessary techniques will he be allowed to
express himself and yet despite that Da Vinci himself stated, 'its a wretched pupil that
does not surpass his master!'

When the atheist comes to the spirituality forum and does not enquire about anything, but simply makes rude remarks and sarcastic remarks ................it is understood that he is lost for words and is simply displaying his defeated mentality.
There are so many atheist in this forum willing to display this defeat.
Hope this helps 🙂
Originally posted by Ghost of a DukeYour departure from the truth happened when you became dishonest.
But again, why is only what you say 'the truth?!?'
As an atheist i believe 'i' hold the truth. By your own reckoning you can only discuss this with me,....as you can not debate the truth.
Or is it only okay to 'debate' the truths of other, but not your own?
You became dishonest when you decided to say any illogical absurd thing to support your atheism.
Atheists are shameless in their endeavour to defend falsehoods.
Atheism is based on false-hoods.
Theism (and not false religion) is based on truism.
Originally posted by DasaYou have offered nothing to convince me that you speak 'the truth.' You saying it is 'the truth' simply isn't good enough and i will continue to 'debate' you on the issue. If your beliefs are genuinely that truthful then you should have nothing to fear from debating them. Otherwise your presence and activity in these forums is nonsensical and you might as well just go shout your opinions out of the window.. .

Atheists are defeated in their fears, as are most humanists who sweat their daily job and affairs. Not that I sympathize with them because I found there is a generous Father 'everywhere'.
Moreover I don't take it to such extent I think god IS IN a marsupial.
Delving into the Vedas, is it had true religion is not based on faith only, but on full realisation of God and scientific comprehension? Interestingly, miracles are essential to a few religions but as theologians observe they would not be distinct among Islam, Buddhism, Confucianism, or Taoism. Take voodoo, as a religion it has closer connections to understanding the supernatural experiences in a faith-oriented tradition such as Christianity. How else do we approach the incomprehensible unless we engage in the spirit world and let it transform interiorly?
The person who smokes is all too silly to "go to" a psychic; I would talk of Indian who have seen a few strange happenings and knows so.
Originally posted by Of Ants and Imps"Atheists defeated by their fears". That is a joke. It is exactly the atheist who is NOT rolling in fear, fear of a godly punishment, fear of being forever burned in some nonsensical hell.

It is the Christian living in fear, fear of being tricked by a or the devil, fear of not going to the nonsensical heaven.
Atheists defeated by their fears. The most ridiculous statement of the forum. You must not know much about atheism or atheists.
