Nobody's really going to win or lose these debates, but that's not why we're here is it? We're just here sharpening our swords.

I've been saying that for years about debates....!!!

You're posting in a spirituality forum, but can't stand the opposition to your agnostic atheist perspective, yet you experience personal growth in the process of losing faith as a result of hearing what you can't stand.

I "can't stand the opposition"? What are you in about? I welcome disagreement and debate.

Albert Einstein: "Once you stop learning, you start dying".

Do people agree with Einstein on this?

Seems like 100% of us stop learning then.

Well, obviously we all "stop learning" when we die and they bury us in the ground or cremate our remains. The question is: is "learning" the mainstay of living a meaningful life.

No. Learning to love is.

That can be read with a variety of inflections. All, I think, are equally valid.

Ah, the beauty of the spoken word! And the gift of writing it to convey meaning of thought and emotion.

Words can kill, or give life.

"Learning" generally. There's more to life, I think, than "learning to love".

You asked this question to which I answered specifically: is "learning" the mainstay of living a meaningful life?"

Learning to love is the mainstay of living a meaningful life.

You are welcomed to disagree, but I won't debate you about it.

I see "learning to love" as a part of a more holistic perspective [learning... along with teaching, loving and being loved] on the meaning of life. When you said: "No. Learning to love is. That can be read with a variety of inflections. All, I think, are equally valid", you appeared to be debating me about it on a thread created for doing that.
