Quote (eboyd)
wha??!?!?! that quote was from Gandhi and it was directed at people who fight violence with violence. it can also apply to anyone who does something bad to someone that did the same thing to them.
im aware that Ghandi said it, however you are using it yes, and you using it implies you take stock in that quote am i not correct, anyways, fighting back in self defense is justified. but the line in the sand is rather hazy when it comes to that, whether your violent response is justified or not. Using religion to justify violence, in general is wrong ie god tells me so or that other nonsense.
Quote (I_Guy)
It's intellectually dishonest to abandon truth in exchange for wishful thinking or better feelings.
Oh no i havent abandoned science or truth in that matter, just any science that tries to pinpoint the reasons for our coming into existence, would be much better effort into sorting out more important problems that plague the earth at this current moment in time. I was just generalizing, shouldve been a bit more specific. However in the case of truth, it differs because of the multitude of perceptions of the reality around us for different people.

Meaning and value can be creatable without a god.
very true, it depends on the persons outlook.
Quote (I_Guy)
a person's perspective simply has to be reoriented.
i can speak from personal experience of perspective re-orientation from negative to positive.

Nothing more, nothing less. what we live and experience is a holographic view that our brains put together from the signals that we receive.
