  neither, can be proven only to the believer can they exist.

  we could therefore say that a persons feelings on god and love are simply chemical reactions produced by the brain.

  however what i find interesting is that if a certain part of a persons brain gets damaged their personalities and emotions can radically change.. the rebel..

  bradford " we all know that God is Love"

  Maybe? I don't personally agree. But who cares? Better If people can share the sip of that beer in your icon. And the more sips we share together, the more I realise the betterment of society is based on friendship not intellectual or religious questions that have no answers.

  The Rebel " To much thinking is shit"

  Cofty" it also helps me to understand why millions of believers prefer the comfort of superstitions to reality"

  the Rebel ( A) Millions of believers and non believers may prefer to inhale and exhale the breath and the beauty of being alive, to " intellectual" thinking that is nothing more than the monotonous adding up of numbers. They can still appreciate " the wonder and magnificence of life, the universe and everything" perhaps often even more so?

  The Rebel " too much thinking is shit"

  Cofty " Oh dear"

  Well some people go on reading Nietzsche all day and night. Too much thinking can do something to a persons mind. Therefore If " too much thinking" produces nothing but cold-blooded logical calculation, which only creates inhuman distance from other humans then I would rather not think so much.

  Now back to my Nietzsche, and the world of thought...I prefer walking my dog.

  Cofty and Viviane, thank you both for your comments. I accept you both think my thinking is like riding a train in a second-class compartment, and off schedule.

  As for Vivianes comment about my luck of education and critical thinking agreed. On this Monday morning we have the masses of office workers, and starving millions, the majority of whom also luck education and critical thinking skills. So personally I think it marvellous on this Monday morning that I am able to be at my railway station, and have the money simply to buy a ticket and get out of town.

  And my freedom with this railway ticket, is to accept the farmers can teach me to milk cows, and a sailor can teach me to sail a ship, but from a scholarly point of view on God too much thinking is shit, because the philosophers be it athiest or believers in God or Love can't proove a thing in words.

  Morpheus: I honestly didn't understand your comment, was it directed at me or another poster on this thread?

  The Rebels:- conclusion.

  Neither this thread nor other threads I have followed on subjects like God, Love, Spirit have convinced me with scientific proof of the subjects existence or non-existence.

  The reason I have reached this conclusion is that I consider the answer SUBJECTIVE. and that there is no scientifically agreed measurement.

  Therefore what ever you believe I hope that goes well for you, Neither side can irrefutably scientifically make their point.

  Love can be defined in many ways most of which can't be scientifically proven. However with love I am more at ease with its instinctive emotion than rationalising it.

  So my observation is the threads debating God are a throw back to our witness mindset, when we were being over zelouse about being right, even though we were in fact wrong. More importantly as witnesses, very rarely did we change another's viewpoint and I am sure we are all grateful for that.

  Thanks Cofty, much appreciated. ( As this thread has grown longer than I anticipated, those questions are on page two of this thread)

  OpenCrow I am married young, but we " survived" 25 years, and we love and accept each other for our faults, we also love our boy and he can be athiest,believer, gay, straight.. and if that makes me and my wife assholes, then let me tell you about the fight and breaking free from the indoctrination that controlled our life's . So take your goodbye to the crap you talked on my "Richard Glossip" thread.

  And if Cofty you read my Richard Glossip thread from when I started it 2 weeks ago with the impossible outcome that twise since happened .Yes impossible? Was the outcome less impossible than you being wrong? So my questions and comments to you on my EARLIER POST are RESPECTIVLY anticipated from a different perspective.

  OpenCrow on your second post on this thread you said " Well Goodbye" Be true to those words.

  I now look forward to Coftys reply to my comments, they are maybe not an opinion I share, but at least an opinion I can respect.

  My reply to OpenCrows above comment " So which one is it?"

  Geees.

  post one I wrote " I think your reply was harsh"

  post two I wrote " I assure you I don't take your comments harshly"

  So to answer " OpenCrow" in both your posts your reply was harsh, but I chose not to take either harshly. Can you understand that?

  My point of this thread is that maybe we are all only little insects climbing the Himalayas, and therefore maybe we shouldn't talk so loud about right or wrong, when our opinions are only opinions. So until further notice and conclusive evidence on what love or God is people should be allowed to believe what they want to believe?

  Iconoclastic, it would be remiss of me not to reply to your post. So how can I answer? In my opinion your post is neither madness nor blindness, and I get your observation on Ego. If I am honest I think you are floating in a strange wonderful new experience, but I don't get it.
