QuoteQuoteQuoteI don't beleive that freedom comes from knowledge, I beleive it comes from wisdom, and wisdom is the understanding of knowledge. Too much knowledge can be detrimental at times.
Consider this, when the human race is gone... Or "evolved into non-existance", knowledge to us will no longer matter. But, wisdom will be around forever... Charting life in a way. The real fascination to me is with life, not knowledge. Others of course beleive differently.
Meaningless semantic mumbo jumbo.
Maybe this will help you understand:
Sensory input create facts.
Bullshit. Pure and utter bullshit.
Facts simply exist. The speed of light is 186,000 miles per second. Water is made of two atoms of hydrogen bonded to one atom of oxygen.
Facts don't require you, me or anybody else.

Actually, the last time we mixed religion and politics (and we still do) we ended up convincing a President to invade a country that had nothing to do with a religious war being fought against us we weren't paying attention to. So a few guys armed with little more than box cutters rammed airliners into buildings . . . in the name of religion. And we invaded the wrong country . . . also in the name of religion.
I truly believe that you fail to see or understand the big picture in regard to Iraq and the invasion or 2003.
Then explain it to me. Give me "the big picture." Was this all part of "God's plan"?

That's why I suggested you ask Jehova Witnesses, not try to explain something to them.
Oh I did. It starts with, do you accept Jesus Christ of Nazareth as the Son of God? Followed by, do you believe in the Holy Trinity? That is usually enough to get them dancing around the Old Testament and avoiding the New Testament.
Why shouldn't I believe in Zeus, Minerva, Vulcan and Neptune? The US Capitol has a nice fresco showing George Washington, Ben Franklin et al. in their company, right under the dome.

Using knowledge of "reprobate human mind " we have doubled life expectancy and improved quailty of life on almost any measure you care to name.
Perhaps you can tell us if you would be happy for the applicaitons of modern knowledge to be removed form you and your loved ones. No modern medicine, no sanitation, no skydiving, no internet etc etc?

I operate in the fields of spirituality and psychology.
Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them.

Study the end time prophecies.

The thing with you is that you don't argue your position, you assume that your position is correct and that everyone else a) knows what it is and b) agrees with it and then use that as a base for everything else you write, without ever explaining what that base is.
Your basic problem is that you think that every phenomenon that we have a word for actually has an independent, objective existance. You think that not only does 'wisdom' have an objectively existing Platonic Form, it is also a sentient form that gives and takes away from people.
You think that the property of organic beings we call 'life' is actually some kind of independent reservoir of 'life' energy, bits of which are imbued into evry living being and then taken back into the whole when that being dies.
But you never explain that this is what you think. You just assume that this is how reality works, and talk to people in terms of this reality.
Unfortunately, very, very few people think in those same terms (because they're wrong) and consequently no-one ever has the slightest clue what you're on about. That's why other poters keep accusing you of being a bad communicator.
