Both you and I.C. have a complete aversion to any truth that does not fit within your narrow, self-serving frameworks... You don't think truth exists. I have said there are many truths. You insist it's all "subjective." You just said I don't think it exists. You also say that wise man &qu...

- The truth can generate a pleasure/pain reaction for both the transmitter and receiver. - The receiver’s reaction to the pain is often resentment against the transmission, or if small-minded, resentment towards the transmitter. - This can nip the pleasure of truth in the bud before it can blossom ...

Most people already accept/understand the concept that no singular view reigns over all. There are things that all views cannot deny. What can be deduced is that there can be multiple right answers, depending on the angle one is looking from. The one thing you can know for certain, by pure logic, i...

What can be deduced is that there can be multiple right answers, depending on the angle one is looking from.

Locking in on one view that you can feel superior with is built on poor logic.

That never implies that there's no actual answer, or no actual truth.

According to who?

Why? Most people already accept/understand the concept that no singular view reigns over all.

From the fact that people disagree, all we can learn is that some people don't seem to know what good and bad are. If that's all you can learn, that's your problem. No, that's all anybody can learn... Says you who proclaims what is, or should be, true and false, right and wrong, good and bad FOR AL...

No way! I LOVE men... the GOOD ones. Not self-righteous blowhards. Not religious lunatics. Not abusers. Not warmongers. Not self-serving ego-maniacs. And there are WAY TOO MANY of those types screwing up everything for everyone else. Don't you see it? Wait, you are now back talking to me? Only when...

Your unraveling is not worth reading in detail. It simply shows, once again, your tragically distorted and manipulated thought processes.

Christians want to do the right thing. Trump tells them he 'wants what they want', but he actually only serves himself (as he always has) which ends up being very bad for them. .../... Christians and Trump have different ideas about what is good and bad. Faulty premise. What's the faulty premise?

From the fact that people disagree, all we can learn is that some people don't seem to know what good and bad are. If that's all you can learn, that's your problem. So your assumption is that something is only good and bad if everybody agrees it is? Do you try to be stupid or evil... because it's h...

REAL/GOOD MEN are wise enough not to live in service to their egos. They understand they are an equal part of a bigger collective, no more, no less. They contribute... not dominate. They are in touch with their divine magic in a constructive way. And they don't try to turn it into a religion that g...

we think good, but get bad Let me provide an example Here's an example: Christians and Trump Christians want to do the right thing. Trump tells them he 'wants what they want', but he actually only serves himself (as he always has) which ends up being very bad for them. Christians and Trump have dif...

...everyone knows what is good and what is bad. Do they all agree? Of course they all agree. of course they don't. Got it! :lol: But now, so what? What do you make of that? Well, you guys made my point. I was responding to Walker's nonsense claim. If people all agreed on what is (and what they know...

Do they all agree?

What's your supposition, if they do not?

I won't answer your question if you won't answer mine.
