You Amadeus are expressing a negative and pessimistic view, I remain an optimist. Reasoning with people here is fun and we are mutually communicating and influencing each others perspectives. Many have informed me they agree with my fundamental notion that law is not efficient to supervise...

You always sagaciously know absolutely best Buzzardgrunt! However, you are leaving me out of the equation; you are aiming, on my behalf, at me attaining "communication", fine, commendable; while, all the while you have not considered that I obtain pleasure from exercising my capacity to employ...

I was once with a girl who's mom was a Catholic. I was surprised to see that mom was a serious student of the Gospels and attended retreats for the sake of long and quiet study of the Testament she so deeply loved.

[If I'm not mistaken, you are saying that, a written law, either by human legislation or divine imposition, is antithetical to human evolution and progress. But that man, by his own accord, must apply discretion to his actions, thus, making himself his own private legislator?] Yes to your first...

No, I am not suggesting a transcendent Being in the Heavens, rather, I am absolutely certain of a radically intelligent conatus which is part and parcel of the fabric of the Cosmos and knows how to construct our DNA and all the stars which turned to dust and subsequently became our DNA... I am...

[there appears to be a conflict in some of your own understandings. As much as the Golden Rule was considered to be different than treating others as oneself, equally, denouncing law in one context, but then imposing it in another, seems confusing and contradictory] No, I correctly deemed...

Amadeus; No, have never encountered that Gandhi statement before, it is beautiful! I studied Buddhism under a Brahmin Indian PhD in Philosophy and Literature named Amil Kumar Sarkar; he was real old at the time and is surely no longer with us now; he wrote a book entitled "The Seven Phases of...

Exactly precisely one hundred percent right on; you are clearly omniscient, yes everyone is exactly as you just said. You are extremely quick whitted and I hope I continue to hear from you.

"...when someone can regard the universe and not see God..."; when I peruse our cosmos it is crystal clear that there is a radical intelligence wholly beyond ours that is woven into the fabric of space/time , which has structured our being; however, it is not Jehovah/Christ/Holy Spirit, which...

DNA; (I have a new friend since I moved here to KY that is so funny that I laugh for days after hanging out with him, that I am going to start calling him DNK, K for kookoo). "...when one proposes that man should ignore all restraints, and just let his emotions and desires play out as he feels...

You,marks, exhibiting the viewpoint of your pure slavehood in Christ, are too radically ignobly situated, too cocksure I must be a slave alike you, to either apprehend my profound personal reflectively-free-freedom, or, to presume to either describe me or speak for me. Peruse Ch#4 of J. P...

"You do not have a profound understanding of humanity." My understanding that all determination is negation and that human action originates via the double nihilation is profundity in the sense that I know precisely how freedom operates/originates; whereas you seem to deem a mere listing of...

Duane, the issue is that you are equating good and evil [No, not good/evil, I am equating all our ontological/leopard-spot characteristics such as killing; loving; sense of right...];as natural [No, we are a freedom devoid of a set nature] human inclinations, that should neither be suppressed or...

Yes we are a radical lived contradiction. We humans can resolve our extant nobility/ignobility contradiction only by ourselves. No, we are not in motion moved by some transcendent spirit unto which a slovenly undignified and ignoble obedience is obligatory. We, you and I, ought interact...

It totally blows my mind that my treating you as I would myself be treated, and, loving you as I do myself are, to you, identical; for me there is a big difference, totally! Decency is one thing and Love is another; hence difference; thus, differentiation. The last sentence you wrote...

Willie; I will never ever learn to write absent your continual surreptitious scrutiny of my language and, unless you deign to impart your infinite capacity for linguistic communication unto me; while, all the while, I am doing far more than asserting unfairness; I am giving precise reason(s) why...

We were discussing the impossibility of loving another as myself, and I held being condemned for being ontologically unable to do so as unethical; you switch to consideration of treating others per the golden rule, which I assuredly can do; while I was hoping for your learned response to my...

Yes, you are correct, He did preach accepting Him for both forgiveness and eternal life. You make things I have not ever correctly understood clear; I see, yes, indeed I do not love others as myself; nonetheless, to expect me to do so is a priori unrealistic, and, thus it is unfair to condemn...

There are no absolute ideals via which to establish criteria and parameters. All one ever hears is that Christ represented love and posited love as a means of doing one's interpersonal relations. I am surprised you think different. However, though His dearh was requisite it is the putative...

Your complete and total reliance on what Christ is purported to have said circa 35 AD, or Paul circa 75 AD, puts your thinking about two thousand years short of a comprehension of current instruments of thought, which you cannot do other than deem as ignorance, because you are so totally stuck...
