veritas is ignoring me because he has blind faith.

i can accept someone having faith. faith being a belief in something without proof. but blind faith, being belief in something despite evidence opposing it, i can never respect.

it's all the same bro..

but naw, wasn't saying you were hiding. sometimes seeking makes shit harder to find, leads people to create bias and jump to conclusions, be less open minded than they think they are.


truth is evident man... its not fluff im giving you, you can literally 'feel it' if you allow yourself to. certain concepts, just resonate with all of us -- whether we chose to follow them or not, that is a different matter.

the bible consists of many truths -- as a lot of ancient doctrine -- and many 'truths' are echoed across different tongues and times.... so yes, I believe that religion is 'made in the image' of the bible, which was made in the image of truth.

i also recognize that 'constitutions' manipulate truth, and the bible itself, for worldly benefit.... such as your allusion to constantine -- council of nicea /etc.

but it can all be validated with discernment man...loving thy neighbor makes sense in science, theology, and across all religions or worldviews.. it just makes sense.... again, doesnt mean we do it or do it all the time ---

but the "evidence" is evident all around us, everywhere, at all times.
