I have received a couple of mails too, from members here thanking me for the stand I am making, complaining how the same people like yourself and your friends always teaming up and attacking those who disagree with you


I wonder who are those people? Teaming up and attacking? I don't think so.. I think they should be part of the forum as well and support your words so in that way they don't see you playing the victim card.


I never play the victim, never once did I ever feel being threatened here, it was you and your friends who have been playing the victims, reacting very emotionally, calling me names and attacking my character that is, well beyond the bounds of the topic I wanna discuss here. Yeah perhaps they will participate more, when personal attacks stop from your side. That would be very interesting and hey-ai can then maximize it's potential in giving a platform to meaningful and worthwhile conversations without the trolls here that immediately pull down the IQ of any forum to that of a 7-year old.


Well, first of all.. Calling you names? By my side I don't think so, personal attacks? I personally never attacked you. I do disagree with you a lot and my opinions are a personal view which means no one influences of my way of thinking.
Me and my friends? I didn't know that every people that disagree with you is my friend... Seems like in the past few hours I got a bunch of friends. How lucky I am.

Hey-ai can maximize the potential if people decide to be part of every thread instead of talking behind other people backs. Idk, just an opinion.

But yeah. I'm done here :)

Everybody here seems so sensitive with their opinions. Opinions have all the right to be questioned. If there is a guy who thinks he is eating a cracker that when ingested becomes the body of Elvis Presley, and decided to talk to me, telling me that " No, Aaron, it is my belief, I really believe it, I have faith, it is true for me" then I will tell him, fine, believe what you wish, but you cannot have me in agreement with you. If I am to be honest and if I am to be a real friend, I am gonna tell him that he is having one of those illusions. Does that make me less of a friend? No, Does that make me an asshole for telling him he is wrong? No. Just because you have an opinion it doesn't mean it merits automatic respect and thus the truth, there are uneducated opinions, there are misinformed, deluded opinions? Yes there certainly is. I am being a true friend to tell him his wrong, and in a company of smart, reasonable people with intellectual integrity intact, it is agreed and even criticism is welcomed to their beliefs, because they do not attach their identity to an opinion and because they care for what is true and what isn't.

I have my beliefs and sets of principles, I am very much happy if I am proven wrong, I will be really glad cos it would mean I am wrong before now I am finally in possession of the truth. But I follow a set of criteria, I can only be persuaded by reason, evidence, good arguments, not orders of faith, of emotional appeals, not arguments from incredulity and ignorance.

And if I am an asshole telling somebody that his reasons for believing something is incoherent, without evidence and purely wishful thinking. Then an asshole I shall remain. But even if you disagree with me, I never think of you less as a friend, or a potential good friend in the future. People I respect in their very essence, however people's opinions and beliefs can only be respected when it deserves respect.

I believe in miracles of the soul. I believe people can change.

I believe that prayer helps and that our spirits can commune with the divine, across time and space. I've heard symphonies and forged bonds that tell me so.

I believe in sanctity and the inherent nobility of life in all its forms. I believe acts of kindness and compassion are their own reward.

I believe we are miracles of chemistry, conflict and circumstance.

But I'm a Buddhist. I don't believe in God, unless God is just the name you have for what makes these things manifest.

I believe in you and I.

That is honorable. Most people think that God is love, some people think it is friendship, companionship, some people think god is the force that animates it all, some people think that god is all that is good. I can respect that, if a person says that god is the laws of nature that binds the universe, that it is the energy from where it springs, I can believe that, and in that standard I'd be a believer. But when a person says that god is the one who answers prayers, that the universe was created with us in mind, that is solipsistic in its nature, selfish and riddled with self-interest. - that I cannot respect.

i'm just glad that god doesn't look to the pissy atheists around here on how to do things. (notice i did not say all atheists are pissy.) he has a much more controlled and effective way of doing things.

hmmm, how are even men soothed? with a kind word. that's how things are done. not with a bunch of sharp surgical tools and construction trucks and crap. as in noisy, loud, show-me-right-now-that-you-exist kind of way. pffff.

Seems like the only way you can get ppl's attention is to play with their ego
