Isn't that what "technically" would imply? Ghavrel Send a noteboard - 13/04/2011 04:04:42 AM
Is this where we threadjack into the nuances of a term cultures have not really come to agreement on the actual definition of?

No, this is where we threadjack into the semantics of "technically."
"We feel safe when we read what we recognise, what does not challenge our way of thinking.... a steady acceptance of pre-arranged patterns leads to the inability to question what we are told."

It would really depend on the mechanism Isaac - 12/04/2011 06:28:24 AM 949 Views
You assume we all know, and agree on, what "soul" means. Tim - 12/04/2011 08:42:47 AM 998 Views
It is what hope, which is a thing with feathers, perches on. Vivien - 12/04/2011 07:32:07 PM 1046 Views
But seriously, what does it do? Aeryn - 12/04/2011 11:01:58 PM 1047 Views

What happened to two? *NM* Ghavrel - 12/04/2011 08:20:41 PM 587 Views
Thanks, I fixed it. *NM* Vivien - 12/04/2011 08:29:20 PM 599 Views
Your comments, or mine? Joel - 13/04/2011 01:24:53 AM 1472 Views
You get one guess. Vivien - 13/04/2011 07:09:01 PM 1204 Views
One dismissive answer deserves another. Joel - 24/04/2011 12:54:44 AM 1093 Views
I'm a Christian who is partial to reincarnation, so I do not think much would change. Ghavrel - 12/04/2011 06:21:36 PM 1043 Views
*is disappointed* *NM* Vivien - 12/04/2011 08:01:05 PM 528 Views
You'd be surprised how frequently I get that from both sides. Ghavrel - 12/04/2011 08:22:24 PM 1027 Views
I bet you do! Vivien - 12/04/2011 08:47:59 PM 989 Views

I think we are similar in some respects philosophically. everynametaken - 13/04/2011 05:59:38 AM 975 Views
That's pretty much how I feel. Being a universalist helps in that respect. *NM* Ghavrel - 13/04/2011 06:25:34 AM 596 Views
Who says.... Jeordam - 13/04/2011 07:11:24 PM 933 Views
So then my question is.... Jeordam - 13/04/2011 07:08:42 PM 936 Views
Because I believe that Jesus was an incarnation of the λόγος. Ghavrel - 14/04/2011 12:36:36 AM 972 Views
*heh* Jeordam - 14/04/2011 04:12:32 PM 1084 Views
I think I answered it pretty clearly in my post title. *NM* Ghavrel - 14/04/2011 06:59:47 PM 603 Views
Actually, you didn't. Jeordam - 15/04/2011 12:12:42 AM 1030 Views
Re: Actually, you didn't. Ghavrel - 24/04/2011 09:04:04 AM 1003 Views
I think that, like a lot of other people responding, I would want and need more information. Tom - 12/04/2011 07:13:14 PM 970 Views

99% that there is no God... LadyLorraine - 12/04/2011 08:08:42 PM 1075 Views
Technically, no, atheists simply lack belief in a God. Ghavrel - 12/04/2011 08:19:15 PM 994 Views
Whoah there, Stephen - 12/04/2011 08:26:43 PM 983 Views
Okay, I have to admit I wasn't expecting to get called out on that. Ghavrel - 13/04/2011 04:03:08 AM 1068 Views
no I think that's just the literal definition... LadyLorraine - 12/04/2011 11:19:18 PM 927 Views
Isn't that what "technically" would imply? Ghavrel - 13/04/2011 04:04:42 AM 1126 Views
And that's why I don't quibble with %'s, I just say I'm an atheist *NM* Vivien - 12/04/2011 09:45:31 PM 640 Views
It certainly doesn't mean you can't make conclusions. Tom - 12/04/2011 08:09:41 PM 1087 Views

Sadly enough, one of my favorite explanations of religion came from someone discussing a video game. Ghavrel - 13/04/2011 04:12:23 AM 1025 Views
Re: I'm basically a Magi. I'm going to travel to Brazil and then take over the world. *NM* Gaps - 13/04/2011 04:18:25 AM 603 Views
Either you meant "Magus" or you are a schizophrenic wizard. Both are acceptably awesome. Ghavrel - 13/04/2011 05:37:34 AM 1022 Views

Have you had any vivid dreams that came true? Tom - 13/04/2011 01:16:59 AM 919 Views
My mom used to have dreams like that, usually about relatives. Joel - 13/04/2011 02:25:45 AM 1063 Views
I can easily believe that. Tom - 13/04/2011 06:14:51 AM 921 Views
Taking things at face value is usually unwise, but the face value can still be correct. Joel - 24/04/2011 12:11:51 AM 864 Views
Minivans can fit lots of useful stuffs, like furniture. *NM* Aeryn - 13/04/2011 03:47:04 PM 604 Views
So can gas-guzzling SUVs, and full trucks. *NM* Tom - 13/04/2011 05:13:20 PM 558 Views
for that matter, you can fit a surprising amount even in a baby truck! *NM* LadyLorraine - 13/04/2011 06:36:58 PM 535 Views

and what if science proved that science was false? random thoughts - 12/04/2011 11:48:32 PM 1051 Views
I think that's kind of the point; it can't. Joel - 13/04/2011 01:33:44 AM 933 Views

Actually the reason you don't revive people denied oxygen half an hour is due to chemical processes. Ghavrel - 13/04/2011 04:08:37 AM 1025 Views
