The header explains it all.

You believe you are what?

You believe you are what?

"I believe, therefore I am" Is the correct rendering of the alternative philosophical standpoint that because we can think we become an I.

But then what? I mean, I get it, your consciousness proves that you are an entity in this universe. And actually, your ability to believe anything proves a great deal more than that. Consciousness is absolutely astounding when it is contemplated (pun kind of intended :) )

But what do you do now? Aren't you forced to consider the source of your existence?

@Mantis It's some philosophical thing; ppl make a statement and then someone else responds as to a dialogue, and so on.......

(I prefer to make Scripture the starting point...)

I consider that if we didn't cling to our beliefs generation from generation, we'd might have far more answers about our existence by now.

I am not hanging around you people any more. Although I wont be leaving this forum for anything better to do, I certainly need to get the heck away from believers altogether.

Eh? Nah.

The “header” makes a statement.
It does not “explain” anything.
...Believe...WHAT, would be an explanation.
...am.........WHAT, would be an explanation.

Now that’s funny.
Everyone believes....something.
You start a thread....saying you believe. (But don’t say what you believe).
Then you say....you have to get away from believers...

Are you in need to get the heck away from yourself?

Like Osho said about believing.

"I don't believe in believing"
