Originally posted by sonhouse I guess that won't work on a windows machine🙂
Heh ... much as I'd love to start bashing windows, it does have powershell, and I would presume there is some (hopefully simple) way of doing the same.

The obvious move is to use a perl script, it wouldn't be hard to write.
Edit: For those who can run perl programs, copy and paste into a file reverser.pl - you may have to change the #!/usr/bin/perl bit I don't know I haven't used a Windows machine in a decade:
to run in linux: reverser.pl myfile
No idea how to run it in Windows

Seriously though, how do you know everything you said is true?

I figured writing a script might have been overkill (though mercifully you chose perl over bash). That said, I think your script needs to be tweaked a little ...
sneaky one this, but reversing order here ensures we don't start with a new line and finish with text on the same line as the prompt (i.e. we're not just undoing the chomp)... also we should actually print something!
Originally posted by FMF Dasa cites the Vedas as his authority on spiritual matters just as you cite the Bible as yours.
Of course he does, but I asked how does he know it's true!
I know the Bible is true because of the evidence. Take for example the resurrection of Jesus Christ. The record is true and beyond doubt.
For just once I'd like to see the evidence that the Word of God, as it is contained in a book we call the Bible, which every blowhard since the resurrection has tried and failed to prove is wrong, has ever failed to be true in every particular.

You are entitled to your beliefs and superstitions, and to make your subjective assertions based upon them over and over again, just as Dasa is.
Originally posted by FMF You are entitled to your beliefs and superstitions, and to make your subjective assertions based upon them over and over again, just as Dasa is.
But your beliefs and superstitions and subjective assertions are different?
There it is FMF. The very point I keep trying to make with you throughout these threads.
Without an objective source of absolute Truth everything everyone says falls into the same category of subjectivism.
I wish we could go beyond this superficial debate and get at some real Truth!
Originally posted by josephw But your beliefs and superstitions and subjective assertions are different?
My beliefs are different from yours and from Dasa's, yes. I thought that was clear already. Furthermore, different from both you and Dasa, I do not claim to have some monopoly on "the truth" or to have a body of religionist folklore/literature that I am claiming is an objective "authority" to which I appeal. I find both your claims about "the Word of God" and Dasa's claims about his "true religion" to be far-fetched and unconvincing.
Originally posted by josephw I wish we could go beyond this superficial debate and get at some real Truth!
The superficial element is surely mostly provided by you simply repeating over and over and over again that what you believe is the "real Truth" and that beliefs that are different from yours are not the "real Truth". Sometimes, it seems like your ministry here has nothing much to offer other than your own certainty and sincerity. 😉
You are going backwards
