You retard. I have no concern with controlling anyone. I want evryone to find their own inner zen and GET ALONG .

You should apologize for mot accepting his beliefs as valid. Very judgemental and noninclusive of you.

But according to you that is how you educate someone.
Tell them what to believe.
🙄
I have never said no no no you need to believe such and such.
Not my job, I live in a free country. You can keep your euro thought police state.

Thanks Karoly. I appreciate that.
i've always appreciated your views, especialy when to comes to sciency stuff.
It's just like music- I can't dismiss a whole genre even if I dislike 99.99% of the stuff from that genre (like rap )

This doesn't make sense. it smells and definately doesn't resonate with me.
You think this sounds right, right?
My humble belief is that dumbarse ignoramouses may be sent to 'purgatory'.
This purgatory mat be as simple as being born a black person in the wrong family in amercica.
I mean do you know what reflection is? Do you ever think about stuff that makes no sense at all , that you blithly regurgitate out of a sense of fear?

Thing is I will try stuff. I will want to educate myself 'hands on' about certain things.
For example I've made a concerted effort to understand the indegenous culture and the plight of the original Australians as a matter of courtesy and respect.
And learning about real aboriginals is not as easy as just going to Ayers Rock.
What do you reckon? Is Christianity better than the aboriginal culture in Australia, considered to be the oldest people of the world?
Originally posted by sonshipBut you do preach, don't you?
There was some tongue in cheek in that little message to Karoly.
Now, I didn't say that I don't preach. I just said I appreciated what he said.
i mean sincerely I don't know what you're getting at here. Maybe Ghost will enlighten me, but at the moment it seems you're just trolling, which is unusual for you, but not that unusual 🙂
