It's a cop-out for seeking the truth. Accepting falsehood!

We may not know ... but we do not fill in the gaps with crap!

You can always leave a little door open and classify it as “pending”… besides, how do you handle conjectures?


I don't think it boils down to mathematics ... and this is where you theoreticians have sabotaged reality.

It is about past and present, provable and mutable.

If it exists in the known reality, perhaps that is really all there is to it.

Why should there be more?

Who said we had to be happy and satisfied?

There is DNA and life and death and re-cycling of molecules and nothing more!

Stop day-dreaming and wishing!

If and when man explores and takes control of the cosmos we can make any declarations we want but until that time comes if ever, surely we’ve got to show a little humility…


Yes, humility.

In my mind that means accepting we are nothing more than a bag of recyclable chemicals, self-catalytic, without the need for an intervening higher being!

That is humility!

...... Not expecting some higher being, to watch over us, direct us, give us moral guidance ... what fairy tales! :roll: ... and above all, pure absolving of responsibility!

"Satanic Verses" ? Not restricted to the Faith of the Prophet....

Must confess to knowing next to nothing about the Koran, but I do read my Xian Bible.

So I thought I'd treat you all to a couple of sections to demonstrate that the Xian Good Book is also a Satanic text. Where shall I start. Oh.... it's opened at Revelations.....

Chapter 14, verses 14-20 tells us that at the end of days some angels will appear and they'll reap the rich and ripe harvest of the Earth with their sickles, it's clearly men, women and children they're harvesting with their sickles . This human "harvest" is put in to a press ...."and blood flowed from the wine press, as high as a horse's bridle, for one thousand, six hundred stadia."

Well that's pretty satanic. These angel chaps could teach our Grim Reaper a thing or two.

..and for those of you frisky, flower giving boys who are looking forward to a good bonk later on this Val's night....here's a little warning...

Revelations Ch 14 v 4 - according to which only 140,000 men escape the aforementioned wine press if and only if, they ..."have not defiled themselves with women".....

So the Kingdom of Heaven seems reserved for 140,000 self-gratifying men. Presumably these are Catholic priests who I understand make a habit of this sort of self-enjoyment.

The whole book is filled from beginning to end with such awful imagery.

Your imperfection annoys you! Think how annoying it must be for a God having such an imperfect creature challenge him!

Let us not fill in the many missing details by assuming that we are the know all and be all of life… let us leave even a tiny window open for that which we do not know and perhaps may never know.

I accept we know very little ... I just do not accept we have to fill in the missing bits with a GOD.

If you can't see that is the greatest cop-out to the acquisition of truth, then you are as bad as the TCs that answer everything with the message that they deserve extra recognition or status because they are special (no reasons necessary).

As I keep repeating… I’ve always got a little window open ready to accept that which I currently don’t know and is convincing enough. In the meantime, my imperfection and vulnerability, including the mother of all vulnerabilities we call “mortality”, is enough to keep my feet firmly on the ground.

No ... I'm sorry but that uncertainty will be your undoing! Your Achilles heal! You can only progress if you make certain judgements and accept that eventually some may be proved wrong and some right. By starting with a premise of uncertainty, you will reap less; especially if you still are blinded by metaphysical probabilities to conveniently slot in to your unknowns ...

My Achilles heal? :lol: You foolish woman don’t you see??? The mortality of man is the very crux of his ungodliness!

Oracle, mortality and selfishness are intertwined… there is no other way to the prolongation of what really is a temporary life!

In the case of immortality you do not need such characteristics for obvious reasons… :)
