Just a quick response to your post before I go back to my studio. You rightly pointed out that there are "pictures of the holocaust, there is the testament of actual witnesses." and yet people still deny it Pictures can be rigged, witnesses can lie, historians are biased, does any of this sound familiar? If you would like a picture of the way this thread sounds then simply change the Christian label to Jews. It's those "lying Jews" "Stupid Jews" "irrational Jews" "ABSOLUTE Jews" "crazy Jews" Of course If this level of vitriol were directed at any body but Christians I am quite confident that this thread would be shut down pronto. But so be it, such is not the case.
(and my logic tells me that by even attempting to stridently convince someone that my path is the "good"
path I have done wrong). Well of course it would, but then your not being logical are you? Someone said that was bad, er, not desirable. That is my point you can't help it because you are convinced that I am "WRONG". What you do not seem to realize is that you are operating according to my worldview not yours. Everyone here seems enamored with eastern philosophy, but the truly enlightened ones do not make any value judgements at all, they just are. Didn't you read BE HERE NOW? Of course even the masters can't resist the urge to write books to show everybody else the TRUE PATH.
Over and over I here statements like this one. "As for either testament being the inerrant word, that is no longer considered sensible by serious scholars." That is factually not true. I know of many serious scholars who believe exactly that. The type of scholarship that is practiced by the Jesus seminar is so presuppositionally biased that it ends up being nothing short of propaganda.
I still maintain that based on your worldview It is not only absolute morals that do not exist but logic and science itself as well simply cannot be accounted for. That is why you must use my worldview to disprove my worldview.
Got to go, think! think! think!
