And why would I hold an opinion different than you if we were both equally informed and equally correct? I agree! I tend to avoid doing any voting or sharing when involved in any debate, but an eye for an eye. I don't mean to be... even more of an ass here, but I did say this earlier: (I can't get this to go into a quote, the site keeps excaping my bar character | by putting a \ before it.) And, honestly, once it gets down to that point, there is no longer a possibility of debate.No, I do not. I think that you hold your own opinion.
I also think that you express your opinion in a rude way
I have given a circle to this post because in this post you explain how you feel (mostly) without looking down on other views.
I come from a more emotional, spiritual mindset. We have been collided from the start of discussion to disagree.
reducing things to the final-endpoint of every other atheism vs theism debate I have seen. "I feel this is true, and you should respect my opinions. Evidence does not mean what I think is not true, science does not give me a reason to live".
That is a very bad and biased explanation of the endpoint, but it's the one I have seen happen over and over. |
It is okay. I have done well with this post by reading quotes as you and material as quotes. Because two people can look at information and view it in different ways. This is because, going back to a previous statement, this question is not a scientific question. There is no "correct answer," and there is no way to be correct. It is only a matter of opinion. People can have different opinions even on important things. That is okay. I do not understand your "final endpoint". What does "science does not give me a reason to live" refer to?And why would I hold an opinion different than you if we were both equally informed and equally correct?
My concern with religion is one of truth. Is there a deity, is there a spirit, is there metaphysics. To that question, there is only one answer. I do understand that you can look at things from the viewpoint that objective reality is not all there is, and that there can be something beyond that we cannot see, that we cannot detect, etc, and you feel it is there, you feel it is real. However, I view that as wrong, just as you probably view the fact that I do not see or believe in anything beyond the physical as wrong.
