Nothing wrong with talking about things like this tho, there's just not really anything that can be said that hasn't already been said but I encourage debate regardless, it's good for the mind.

You are the smartest person you know

Witty · 07-08-2014, 06:38 PM

I am the smartest person I know but only because I don't think you can fully know anyone other than yourself.

JESUS is God manifest in the flesh.

I like how your opinions of the unknown make others opinions seem like a lack of IQ. Enjoy your discussion tho.

100% I thought you were just effing around in the OP doggy lol

there will be some cross-pollination of values in a truly global society for sure --- some belief systems will be watered down, to the point they are no longer differentiated from other systems which are watered down ---- and others will go the reverse direction to 'protect' those systems, and dissociate themselves from that global society and/or distinguish themselves while maintaining the exclusivity of their belief system (think traditional jewish, strict rules 'must marry a jew', or muslim's attire/etc./etc.)

Just like all things, it's just waves goin through the ebbs and flows ---- the more we come together, the more we desire space... the more we assimilate into a group, the more we wish to distinguish ourselves from them.

At some juncture, the only differences that exist between any religion is just our subjective perception shaped by our relative perception of two extremes.... two extremes which we need in order to individuate things and experience this world. even this tangent itself, at some juncture, is a different means to the same end.

all paths up the mountain end with the same point at some point.
