I understand. We could have had the same grandfather, except my grandfather (by the time he had a late son in life) had enough grandchildren to recognize different skills and abilities.He was very hands-on, mechanically oriented, and skilled in the doing of things. I am a very hands-off, pay others to do the mechanical stuff. My mentality is that I make enough money to ensure I don’t have to change the oil in my car or cut my grass. My free time is incredibly valuable and important to me. He could never understand that and it upset him. We are/we’re just very different people. While I was reading a book he wanted to be out doing something.
Yes it is. A VERY different path.
I don’t believe in love. I never have and likely never will. I also have no use for things, people, etc… that don’t perform as required when called upon to do so. That’s why the Abrahamic God is of no use to me.
YEah OK your 2 and 3 year olds were capable of getting their own food and feeding themselves.Actually, they could feed themselves then, as well. There were times my husband traveled, and the news has enough stories of something happening to the single parent and children left in need. So I made sure my two could feed themselves if something happened to me. Had something happened to me when they were infants, that would have been terrible.
And, of course, having a supernatural experience, you seem to believe it never crossed my mind to do all the neuroscience research available.
Many years of hard study to brainwash yourself. Surprised it took so long.No, it is not. The Bible requires many years of hard study--as an adult. How old were you when you shrugged it off as not worth your time?
Don't be silly. I teach science. I know science. I study science. Apparently you don't like that I know and understand the differences.You just choose to believe in mysticism over science.
God is not magical. That is your own description and could not be more wrong.Just because we may not have an answer for everything is no reason to attribute those things to some mystical magical source.
Of course gods are magical.God is not magical. That is your own description and could not be more wrong.
I think you are missing the point. You seem to think I am incapable of distinguishing between physical science and spirituality--even incapable of seeing my own children are fed should something happen to me. In other words, you seem to think I am some kind of idiot instead of someone with whom you can share various experiences and perspectives.YEah OK your 2 and 3 year olds were capable of getting their own food and feeding themselves.
What difference?Don't be silly. I teach science. I know science. I study science. Apparently you don't like that I know and understand the differences.

Sigh. How many times do I have to say it. Proof is a attribute of a physical world. It involves the five senses, and it can be repeated and remeasured. Spiritual events cannot be measured, and are usually not repeated. They are beyond the physical and therefore, beyond scientific proof.Omnipotent, omniscient, invisible sprits that no one can seem to prove exist.
Isn't the true definition of narcissism being centered only on self? For example, "I did not observe an outside spiritual experience, it came from me!" Even worse is you saying, "Since I never had such an experience and you have I can tell you--despite your knowledge of neuroscience--that I know better. It was still a brain malfunction. Period. No discussion from you necessary."Personally I think that people need to believe that there is some part of themselves that is immortal is nothing but a reflection of our inherent narcissism.
I didn't think your question of whether I feed my children was rhetorical. I apologize if it was and I misunderstood.You are adding content to the question which tells me you didn;t think it was rhetorical.
No it could be a mathematical proof.Sigh. How many times do I have to say it. Proof is a attribute of a physical world. It involves the five senses, and it can be repeated and remeasured. Spiritual events cannot be measured, and are usually not repeated. They are beyond the physical and therefore, beyond scientific proof.
Also, are you defining 'omnipotent' and 'omniscient' correctly? They mean all the power it is possible to have; all the knowledge it is possible to have. In other words, more power and knowledge than we are capable of having.
Not you, but those who question, "Is God so powerful and knowledgeable He can make a rock He cannot lift" is pure ignorance of the meaning of the words and of God.

I didn't think your question why I don't feel the need to respect people was rhetorical.I didn't think your question of whether I feed my children was rhetorical. I apologize if it was and I misunderstood.
the ultimate reward of the worship of a god is the promise of the preservation of your immortal soul. Why does a part of anyone have to be immortal? It's the belief that the idea of not existing is abhorrent to the ego.Isn't the true definition of narcissism being centered only on self? For example, "I did not observe an outside spiritual experience, it came from me!" Even worse is you saying, "Since I never had such an experience and you have I can tell you--despite your knowledge of neuroscience--that I know better. It was still a brain malfunction. Period. No discussion from you necessary."
And even though I explained it was and why, here we are still grinding. I'll see you in another discussion. This one has been going nowhere for quite some time.I didn't think your question why I don't feel the need to respect people was rhetorical.
That is how you see it. It is not how I see it.the ultimate reward of the worship of a god is the promise of the preservation of your immortal soul.
Then why didn't you take my question about feeding your kids as rhetorical?And even though I explained it was and why, here we are still grinding. I'll see you in another discussion. This one has been going nowhere for quite some time.
