Yes, how dare I believe that God has told us through the Bible that he won't change a person's mind? How dare I believe that there are things that someone might want, but would be detrimental to their spiritual welfare? How dare I point out that somethings are not obtainable by multiple people, but multiple people ask for it? How dare I point out the fact that you can ask people for things that they don't give you either?
My question is: How is your response to my questions, "your answers are embarrassing"? How so?
A question of theology.

Re: A question of theology.
I guess it'd be more accurate to say they'd be embarrassing to someone capable of objective thought.

Problem: You define objective thought in this case as reaching the conclusion that you have reached.Deacon wrote:I guess it'd be more accurate to say they'd be embarrassing to someone capable of objective thought.

no I'm pretty sure he defines objective thought the same way most people do. the ability to accept the validity of a point of view he doesn't necessarily agree with.collegestudent22 wrote:Problem: You define objective thought in this case as reaching the conclusion that you have reached.Deacon wrote:I guess it'd be more accurate to say they'd be embarrassing to someone capable of objective thought.
i don't hate everyone equally, there are levels. but none of them are the traditionally thought of standards for predjudice. its not based on race, religion, gender, or sexual orientation its based on how much the person annoys me personally. i count you as a friend since you annoy me very little. brittney spears is an enemy because even though i don't know her/care about her at all she still finds a way to annoy me every time i turn on the tv

Re: A question of theology.
That is true in most cases. Here, though, Deacon has reached the conclusion that objective thought automatically rules out the idea of God and faith, meaning my answers are "embarrassing". I see the validity of his point of view. I don't agree with it. My disagreement is somehow embarrassing. Therefore, he has a different definition of objective thought.naval_aviator_2040 wrote: no I'm pretty sure he defines objective thought the same way most people do. the ability to accept the validity of a point of view he doesn't necessarily agree with.

You're just digging yourself deeper into that hole you've made for yourself.
