Why Are Things Believed ?

It seems your faith has distorted your ability to comprehend the nature of faith.

Says the faithless man who thinks because he’s blind and distorted everyone is😀😅🤣!

If all you do in life is look at what you get out of things, what a pity.

Mmm. So, sticking to your guns - are you? - with your dud analogy, you would supposedly STILL get married - because you loved the person - EVEN IF YOU DID NOT "get" the following things from marriage... "get" loved back, "get" a partner and companion and confidante, "get" someone to make a commitment to stick with you through thick and thin, being spared you a life of solitude and loneliness, someone who would have your children, someone who would raise them with you. ha ha.

I don't think my lack of religious faith is because I am "blind". If you do, then that's OK. But you yap at my heels in this way incessantly, but never make much of a point about anything.

I think your blind because your a non believer trying to judge a believer about his faith in God.

Being something you know little about, or what method God used to build that faith within him makes your opinion worth very little.

In order for a point to be made the other person has to contribute in an honest manner. Right or wrong this is something I’ve tried to do here.

Can you say the same?

I am not "judging". I am engaging in discussion and debate. I have experiential knowledge of faith so I have insights to share about the nature of faith and the impact it can have on one's intellectual behaviour. If you feel "judged", then that is a matter for you.

If you think my "opinion is worth very little", that's fine. You still aren't really making a point, though.

If you have been "trying to do [something] here", then I can't see that you are succeeding. You just chase me around sounding angry. Simply feeling animosity for me doesn't mean your posts amount to much. If you believe I do not post in "an honest manner", I suggest you just ignore me.

I wouldn't want to be contributing "the same" kind of stuff you do, so your question is moot.

When you talk of God and faith being only psychological versions of a false reality to create a crutch in what ever way that person needs to move forward doesn’t sound like a discussion?

I’m sure you know many words about many things.

Not that I feel so, but it’s easy to see from your many post in this forum. Do you feel you live within your moral code or are you straying from it now through past events in time.

The concept that faith is a function of cognition is worthy of discussion to my way of thinking. You saying that you think it "doesn’t sound like a discussion" is not much of a point, when all is said and done, and it doesn't really contribute anything to the conversation.

Of course I am posting within my "moral code". What makes you ask such a peculiar question?

Understanding you is all about the things you don’t answer, which is most of the things I ask you.

Do you find it interesting to discuss why people like you can’t see the light when it’s everywhere. How does this effect their life living in falsehood and blindness.

Is there hope for these lost people, and what can we do to help them see the only true truth?

Who said the same as me???

Not when you take into consideration of what I think of your logic along with it being hypocritical😉.

The problem is I think you - specifically you - are a lightweight nobody who rocked up here a couple of months ago spitting out feeble insults, added to which you seem to think you are entitled to something from me, which you are not.
