    I’m in a strange place: very conservative, but not Christian

    So what? The test for humans is to act despite not knowing everything. To walk in faith.

    I’m in a strange place: very conservative, but not Christian

    You are playing a mind game with yourself. Being intellectually lazy is not a virtue. And you contradict yourself again. If there is absolute certainty, then there are absolutes. It is clear that you are relying on epistemological quicksand as a fire wall against righteous action. Make a...

    I’m in a strange place: very conservative, but not Christian

    I figured you would retreat to abstractions to make your case rather than practical knowledge, one's own experience. I think, therefore, I am.

    I’m in a strange place: very conservative, but not Christian

    Do you mean ADMITTING you do not know is often the best option? How can you know what is the best option if you do not know? See the epistemological quicksand you are in, preventing the basis for rational action?

    @Romanov2243, did you answer my A or B question?

    In denying absolutes, you have to assert them (there is no end to mind games). Hence, that absolutes exist is axiomatic. Just because the mind is capable of error does not mean it is not capable of arriving at a valid conclusion.

    I’m in a strange place: very conservative, but not Christian

    I have no idea what you are saying but it sounds like an article of faith, that despite your mind and language leading you to a conclusion, you reject it in favor of this belief.

    I’m in a strange place: very conservative, but not Christian

    That's one possibility. Here is my insight. People are not automatons, functioning purely on logic. People are emotional, filled with prejudices and biases. I have developed an axiom, when it comes to politics, everyone is biased. Most people are not deep thinkers. You and I obviously are deep...

    No. They are power seekers. Did you read my post where I explained how all action is an act of faith? One does not have to know it all to take the next step in faith to make life better. That's opposite from the scientific method, which is to develop a belief (called a premise or...

    Yea, yea. You did not answer my question about the JFK movie. Did you ever see it? Occam’s Razor is not an argument but a principle. To apply it to directions, the most direct route is usually preferred. The simplest explanation is preferred. You misunderstand me. I'm not refuting that only...

    Deuteronomy 6:4

    Nowhere in Scripture is any person identified as God, except YHWH, who we relate to as Father. There is no ‘God the Holy Spirit’ in Scripture.

    "The word was a god"?

    I see Scripture does not matter to your dogma. G’ bye.

    Spotting Heretics

    No. The Roman Catholic Church is the first Christian heretic in history, unilaterally changing a creed they earlier agreed to. See Filoque.

    "The word was a god"?

    Friend, the word father is not in the text. The significance of the juxtaposition of God contrasted with Jesus cannot be understated and is shown in many verses. God made him lord and Messiah. God sent him. God raised him from the dead. God told him what to say. Jesus has a God and said his God...

    Spotting Heretics

    Would not be the 1st time I disagreed with the Court. They are the supreme court, not the supreme being.

    I’m in a strange place: very conservative, but not Christian

    Come and see the evidence. Watch the video of the spatial relations and geometry experts from the university of Italy. There is overwhelming evidence in support of the existence of God. You only need to see it for yourself. This article says only that somone wrote the Pope, claiming it was a...

    I’m in a strange place: very conservative, but not Christian

    LOL I only said there are miracles. You are the one that is convicted by this, feeling the need to go down the rabbit hole of causes other than the one you don't want to believe in. Is a professor came out with an outlandish natural cause for something, with charts and graphs and delved into...

    I’m in a strange place: very conservative, but not Christian

    It seems like you are ruling out the possibility of a supernatural cause until all other possible causes have been proven to not apply. And even then, you seem more biased toward ‘being comfortable’ in the ambiguity of not knowing. Your own mind is your idol, it seems.
