Clive James
Well, let's see. One more time, there's a 'Clive' James that shares a park bench with Jeff Burroughs. They often share something in a paper bag they pass back and forth.
Or perhaps you refer to the 'Clive' James who seems to have had a gender-based personal identification crisis based on his(?) given name of Vivian.
He's the sort of nitwit you might well turn to since you both seem to be so determined to look at things from the pinko, leftist, commie, socialist, progressive direction. You remind me of a second-grader on the school playfield with his fingers in his ears, loudly broadcasting, 'la-la-la-la-la-la-la' so as not to seem to hear truths he desperately wants to avoid.
Even here in September I'll still wish you, 'Merry Christmas!'

i'll take it from that that you have been trying to proselytize me over just discussing.On the other hand, I've seen no sign, from you, of anything other than the noise of a small malignancy chittering somewhere in the background.
everything i've said and you think i want to discover religion? philosophy without evidence IS theology.Kierkegaard's writings
i understand the concept of leap of faith, but i don't see the point. (at least as it regards religion)
although i do take a "leap of faith" in many things that i believe are right. right after i have found the evidence necessary to make that leap.
i'll take it from that that you have been trying to proselytize me over just discussing.
in any case, i wish you well as well. when you're willing to remove yourself for a bit from your religious conviction and look in from outside, then we can have a discussion.
til then, be happy with your "truths".
i'll stick to factual, evidence based truths. (you know, the real truth. defensible, proven)
everything i've said and you think i want to discover religion? philosophy without evidence IS theology.
philosophy with evidence is science.
i have the same sentiment about you KS. i truly hope you come to your senses. if not, then answer the question i posed before.I DO note with a certain degree of wry amusement that those most vociferous in their rejection are often those closest to an epiphany. I truly hope that you come to such a realization.
