...why is that considered lying to oneself if no one knows? People can speculate all they want to. In fact, without it, we'd all be nowhere. There is such a thing as 'personal truth'. No one can reduce that to nothing. You have yours, others have theirs. It is what it is.

when you tell yourself you know something.... that you really dont know, it is the same as lying to yourself.

1. i know how to build an airplane -lie
2. i know god exists-lie
3. i know god doesn't exist-lie

4. i dont know weather or not god exists, but i like the idea that it does better than it doesn't.-true

5. i dont know weather or not god exists, but taking into consideration everything that has been proven beyond a reasonable doubt through rigerious study, testing and achievements of science, it seems to me that the most reasonable explanations is the idea that god is non existent. -true

lying to yourself is never a good thing my friend, i would advice steering clear of it.

despite our differing opinions regarding theology and metaphysics, i think we would be really good friends in real life, and would probably get into some badass discussions over a bowl or two... burn one because this song is the shit... and how fucking awesome it is to be alive!

mary-mary, quite contrary, how does your garden grow?... hydroponics or ultra supersonic... or does it grow naturally slowwww?

Man, I think I would love to take shrooms with EE. His thoughts often don't make sense to me but that may be a factor in posting, waiting, reading, replying. A real conversation, especially when in a different state of consciousness would be awesome IMO.

If God were all powerful, and he made an exact clone of himself... Who'd win in a fight? Would the loser (God) then not be proven to infact not be all powerful? Thus God is not all powerful?

Life is but a momentary glimpse of the wonder of this astounding universe, and it is sad to see so many dreaming it away on spiritual fantasy.

I think in metaphysical terms, I would call that increasing the speed of the vibration of life. Neale Donald Walsch

*not added to entice a pissing match* :) I really like the quote. Sagan's as well. <---you really have to know your sht when you dress, and talk, like that :razz:
