Obsessive vs highly interested

[Musycks]

Thinking about the natural cadences of contributing to discussion groups like this it's become clear to me that the divide that prevents 'discussion' is an emotional and psychological investment by obsessive contributors, as opposed to my merely highly interested state of mind. No surprise maybe, but wanting to debate ideas, instead of being on the receiving end of deluded minds posting endless verbal vomit is a forlorn hope I think.

 

How rare that rarest of creatures, a theist that can coherantly and expressively state their case? Apart from one or two over the years, young pokoj made a good fist of coming to terms with the differences without losing his dignity, it's a desert we're operating in.

 

My interest in the subject hasn't abated, even if I'm sometimes time poor, but finding the energy to contribute in a poisoned environment is something that comes and goes.

 

Pastor Jen has hopefully provided a little spark to spring the group back to life (and it's not yet Easter?!)

 

Let's clear up this meaning of life thing once and for all, I mean we've only got until Dec 22 and the end of the world!!

 

It can't be that hard? :)

 

rock on

Okey doke but I'm just another tired old atheist ;-D

(Completely agree with the rant, BTW and Pokoj is a sweetie).

Why does their *have* to be a meaning for life?

We're here. We're gone. End of story.

It's what we do while we're here that matters and it only matters to those that are in our milieu.

Thanks Trance

 

an existentialist after mine own heart!

 

I've often said the phrase 'there has to be a reason for everything' is one of the more useless pieces of thought baggage we carry from

the dim past when human understandings were limited and the conclusions they created were flawed. We're the result of natural world

interactions, whatever the minute detail may reveal, no god observed, none needed.

 

Hope the AvC site is doing ok, wish I had more time to swing by!

 

cheers, MR

The Trolls are gone for now :-D. Hope to see you there some time.

(Of course when I say they're gone that's when they decide to return en mass - curses. Lol)
