Religion is Man- Made

Do human beings eat RAW beef ...

You can't make proper steak tartar unless you taste it.

Many are not so eager to embrace limitations.

[Walker]

to be aware of the thoughts that cross your mind and not follow each and every one into the darkness it might conjure up... life becomes much more beautiful once thought has "calmed down" to a level where the simplicity of here/now can actually be recognised.

Nicely said!

Otherwise would be a surprise from AlexW.

I guess in practice, you literally fail on all accounts when exercising your dumb pityful nonsense theory.

In practice, more intellectual challenges emerge as understanding deepens.

For atto ..the wannabe omniscient one

Who likes to think he knows my private life.

Please make an attempt to live...have a hobby, a passion, it must be in all of us, somewhere.

I know you would love nothing more than to be a super hero, but please…. They’re just fables, a bit like your God.

attofishpi, how dare you presume to assume the depths of DAM.

[Dontaskme]

I happen to believe very strongly that intended physical violence against other sentient feeling beings is a bad idea. Because if I can experience pain and suffering..then so can they. And to me, it’s a stupid game to play.

Then why do you play it?

Nobody is lucky enough not to be born.

I personally think it's a stupid dumb game, and that only dumb people play dumb games. If you think it's ok to play what I think is a dumb game, then I'm ok with that, for I am not you. It doesn't change my opinion. I would never want to be you. Just as you would probably, never want to be me. So quit the paragon parrot preach.

[AlexW]

Just so you know, this one here hates physical abuse, I personally, would never kill or physically strike another living sentient thing intentionally.. except in self defence, but even that's not for me to know until I'm actually in that situation. I really do not know how I will react in the moment. . so keep your blubbering emotional tripe out of my way. Eat your own shit, and do not follow my thoughts into your own phobia of the darkness. I've heard your nonsense all before, my little shiny shoe shine idiot.

So you hate physical abuse but enjoy verbal abuse?

I hate physical pain and the suffering that arises with that pain. Words, never hurt me, I can take verbal abuse, I've had plenty of it on this forum, it's like water off a ducks back, simply because I am able to separate myself from conceptual meaning. However, as much as I would love to be able to separate myself from the physical pain in my body, I know this to be impossible. And that makes me want to swear my fucking head off, is that ok with you?

Maybe you should practice what you preach and separate yourself from what you think is actual harm and abuse.

And if you care so much for the little children ...then join the club who vote for the permanent cessation of procreation.

People do not care about children, if they did, they would stop having them. Wake up and see the relentless child abuse that goes on at the hands of men and women. Please try to use your intelligence, that's if you have some, and stop being bitter that women are smarter than you, and always have been.

...for anyone brave enough to snatch it up.

The pipes will be safe, don't tell the machines.

And the rats.

Try again dumbo.

We shall endeavour to persevere.

There's two ways of looking at participation.


One is to challenge another's intellect. Failing that, one may challenge another's temperament.

The latter is usually done first, but to continually take that first step doesn't travel one far.

(At your request, such as it was, I think that's more refined. Don't you?)

[Dontaskme]

We shall endeavour to persevere talking in bullshit riddles so that no one knows what the fuck one is saying.

Thankfully, no one cares, no one is listening, and no one is speaking.

Except for the pain problem.

Now, if you say pain is your pain, then stop imposing it on others who have not consented to it. To do so is evil.

I guess you love imposing pain and evil upon the peaceful...let it be so. It's your stupid dumb creation, no one elses.

[Walker]

[Dontaskme]

Because I can, and there is nothing you can do about that.

It matters not what lexicon you use.What matters is honesty and authenticity.
It does matter that the ends do not justify the means.

I think it matters what "lexicon you use".
If using the lexicon leads to strife and violence, if using it hurts other people then it doesn't really matter if the violence has been performed in all honesty - it's still violence, and even it may be authentic, there is nothing good about it.

What I find especially strange (about DAM), is for someone to revert to violent language while at the same time advocating non-violent physical behaviour... it simply doesn't add up.
Non violence is not restricted to the physical realm - it has to be holistic, not an isolated approach (what do you think happens to children who are victim to consistently violent language? do you think they grow up to be non-violent, loving adults?)

It is a good point you make but it is not so much individual words that make what is said aggressive, it's the meaning intended.

I think that sweary words can be meant to indicate belonging to a social group that uses sweary words. Usually when people are meeting face to face they alter their language to fit the occasion and the company, I don't know if it is a good thing or a bad thing that people have online aliases and personas that are reserved for forums.

I find that I am not offended by swear words and images; I do recognise that some others are. I am sure people who swear on this forum have their own reasons for doing so, and I think that DAM's words are chosen to add emphasis to her opinions.
It does surprise me that ordinarily sophisticated adults are offended by harmless insults. It is not as if these injure your reputation,or livelihood, or social life
