"You're also clearly implying (if not directly claiming) that your non systematic system is somehow exempt from all the problems associated with every other system and worldview and is therefore the ONLY WAY to TRULY understand the World around us.

You are mistaken or just floundering for an excuse to apply baseless personal attacks. I didn't imply or claim to have a nonsytematic system but what I do post is exempt from the problems associated with the major categorical systems because the attributions of corruption don't/can't apply (see referent post).

Jesus said: "If you were blind, you would not be guilty of sin; but now that you claim you can see, your guilt remains." You claim to see that all the mainstream systems and worldviews are false and dangerous: don't you?

I didn't claim any worldviews to be false, I did claim the applications of the systems are corrupt, I provided a justification for that claim, and if you look at the facts there can be no doubt about it.

"Just because you refuse to give your worldview a label does not mean you don't have one."

Your insistance that my perspectives must fit neatly into one or the other of your classifications is unfounded.

"In fact those who think they have no preconceptions and dogmas are in my experience the most blindly intolerant, tolerant people one could ever hope to meet."

Yet another baseless allogation. One ironically based on your preconceptions and dogmatic adherence.

"This also brings to mind the question Dr Fraser Crane once asked a patient: "What color is the sky in your world?". Oh I forgot; it's a secret. shhhhhhhhhh! You might get labeled as one of those blue sky-ers.

A fictional portrayal of a shrink, totally out of sink with the common folk, bound in personal conflict, mainly for humorous effect, drenched in liberal cliche. I like the show but never take it serious. To do that, I'd have to actually believe Niles Crane is straight or something.

"There are none so blind as he who will not see"

Whatever, more baseless insinuation.

Oh it applies to you all right. Unless you actually have no "way" and do not claim ANY "TRUTH" but as we have seen; that is not the case for you.

You're arguing with yourself here not me.

By the way, It is Jesus who claimed to be "THE WAY THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE"; Not me. Your argument is with Him.

I've no argument with Jesus. I am reminded of another quote attributed to Jesus though... "Many will say to Me on that day, `Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many miracles?' "And then I will declare to them, `I never knew you; DEPART FROM ME, "

I've met some Christian souls who are welcoming, patient, giving, and always encouraging others on a path of peace and kindness. I doubt Jesus was speaking to them when he said that. Seems to me that was HIS WAY.

"Now, if you were to be tortured to death and then rise again to life, three days later,

You know nothing of me, my life, or my circumstance. Yet you judge me. Just a little reminder, the judgement job is taken, you might want consider a new line.

"I would probably give your claims more serious attention."

I've never accused you of paying attention, let alone of serious consideration ...

"As it is, you are just blowing smoke...

What smoke?

"...and hiding behind the clouds."

And you close with the same baseless allegation.
