I hate saying it. It'd be easy if I didn't love the person I was wanted to say it to, but I don't see why I'd want to say it then. But you know, actually loving another human being is quite frightening. To let someone so close is to make yourself vulnerable, and there is a radiance to those...

The type I most often dislike is, as would seem to be common here, ESTJ. Still, I don't hate them all: I don't like judging people by their type in this way: after all, MBTI is just an approximation. I could almost sign this. I love my INFP, but god, with the sensitivity, she's sometimes so...

We is accurate. Any and every conscious thing would be more accurate. Our underestanding is limited to what we see, hear, feel, to what comes to us. And it's not possible to remove self from that equation, because self is the part that absorbs things: without self perception can not happen and...

Yes, we are selfish. Always. We can only perceive the world through ourselves, in relation to ourselves. That relation is all we know, all we can know. Self is, thereby, a motivator in everything we do.

That being the case I think you have a valid point. But it kind of goes besides the whole discussion: people aren't generally talking about a being, maybe consciouss, that is the universe or the mind behind it when they are talking about God. In fact, I don't see much reason to call such being...

You can't leave the question unanswered because the answer dictates your action. Case in point, if you believe in christian God, you will have to seek absolution from him. If you don't believe in him, you won't need to seek absolution. You may say you don't know wheter he exists or not, but you...

I don't see how the poll could accomplish that. But be is as it may, belief stems not purely out of logic and intellect: I can not believe in a God-maybe, for God either is or is not. Hence I act as though it is not, because I believe that to be the sensible option. My intellect tells me I'm not...

If the question were: "Do you believe it is possible that there is a god?" My answer would definitely be yes, though I find the proposition unlikely. But: the the poll asks wether a nescessary god is possible. If a nescessary thing is possible, it must exist, because it's nescessary: nescessary...

My morals stem from cultural knowledge, personal intuition and logic. A basis without a basis, but pretty much everything is.

I am no judge on what is possible and what is not, ergo I don't know if it's possible or if it's not possible. The word nescessary is quite confusing there: if the thing is nescessary it must be possible and more. If God exists, he is possible, if he doesn't, he isn't (being nescessary by your...

In the future, propably the distant one: maybe.

I read the books when they came out. Sort of liked them: entertaining if not that intelligent. Initially I was for them, I saw them as good children's/young adult's book. But then people started treating them like they were the best thing literature, a status they don't even begin to approach...

That's quite sad, I guess.

Yes I did use "you" as a passive, it could and perhaps should have been replaced with "one" (regardeless of it being quite Virginia Woolfish)

Lucky for you, then, that in the end I decided against going to medical school. Just kidding: it's highly unlikely i'd have been your doctor anyways. Yes it would be a shame had Einstein, or say, Shakespeare never been born. Though think of all the great poets and scientists, those far...
