You talk in thought terminating cliches. Rhetoric. There’s no way to respond.
I said…please continue ignoring me and continue on with the pseudointellectual drivel.
Thank god, you could not define god…and I didn’t waste more time on a superstitious fanatic.
It seems you merely wish to quarrel. So I’ll just say “fare thee well.”
No before and after existence… sorry.
No experts to teach you how you cannot use a fabrication to argue your nonsense.
No before or after…no god necessary.
Ta, Ta,
How unfortunate the lap dog cannot “quarrel”…thin skin.
A good debate is like a street fight…but the lap dog is used to soft laps and scented books, full of conventional thoughts, delivered in that English way of his kind
I was hoping for weeks of this nonsense.
I needs my entertainment.
I’ve been debating Christianity since 2000.
The same shit, over and over again.
Now I am glad I don’t have to engage the same superstitious fanatics nor the run-o-da-mill atheists on these forums.

I’m amazed you didn’t recognise this Sufi teaching, seeing as you are into perennial philosophy.
The mind is a guide but a bad master, the mind is like a horse but when you get close enough to the divine presence you have to dismount. The stages of gnosis too: hearing there is a fire, seeing the fire, then annihilation within the fire and so forth. This is all basic stuff in Sufism. Funnily enough, your reaction is the same reaction as that lady who wanted Idris Shah to teach her the Way of Sufism: when told to throw the book away, she got upset and left.
Philosophy is why l’m here. But you are turning it into something it can never be. Philosophy cannot be an absolute truth, it is like a never ending series of football games. I disagree with anybody that turns spirituality / sufism / philosophy / perennial philosophy into an absolute Truth and an intellectual pursuit. I’m sorry but no intellectual here is better than my mommy - from what l can tell anyway. And she didn’t know any of your subcategories of perennial knowledge. Ditch your ego, sir. Then again, l do feel you should get mad when someone uses logical fallacies as that’s wasting the other person’s time - and l’m about to point this out to someone else soon, just writing a response. Bye bye and Peace.
@felix_dakat Don’t be so pussilanimous as to PM me and say bye bye again. You’re scaring me slightly. I’ll admit l’d like to smell your hair while you cry over my combativeness and refusal to obey the precepts of Perennial Philosophy. But, you know, l gave my reasons, and they were grounded in well known principles of Sufism, which is Perennialism par excellence. And this is a debate forum. But okay, we part here. I hope my posts were helpful. You can PM me any time but l’d rather you didn’t as l’m a bit busy. Sorry =^…^=

If you want a person to respond to your comments, you should learn to use the Quote Function.
This not only directly invokes the statement to which are refer but it also alerts your interlocutor as to the fact that you are responding to them directly.
I’ve not enough interest in your points to trawl through the Forum to find out if you might have been taking to me.
As it is I only found this accidentally by looking through “unread” posts.
What’s your point?
Is it your hobby to trawl the Internet for Black people doing crimes?
No French is Syria now.
What does this have to do with racism? Why are you implying that l am racist?
“Is it your hobby to trawl the Internet for Black people doing crimes?”
Well you don’t have to go too far on the internet to do that, Sculp.
Omg did i just say that?

You don’t have to look far for any ethnicity committing a crime, or are you specifically suggesting it’s harder to find crimes by white men?
.
Crime knows no colour… I think the problem arises, when crime rates exponentially rise with the influx of migrants, legal or otherwise.
That is not a contentious thing to say, but reality.
I would suggest it is a subjective experience that may be hard to ignore, but the relationship between immigration and crime in the UK is complex, and the idea that crime rates have exponentially risen due to an influx of migrants is not supported by comprehensive evidence.
Crime Rates and Immigration in the UK
- Overall Crime Trends
- Crime rates in the UK have fluctuated due to various factors, including economic conditions, policing strategies, and societal changes.
- Violent crime and certain offenses like knife crime have increased in recent years, but this is attributed to multiple factors beyond immigration.
- Studies on Immigration and Crime
- Academic and government studies generally find no clear link between higher immigration and increased crime.
- A 2019 report by the UK Home Office found that, while public perception often links immigration with crime, statistical analyses do not support this claim.
- A 2020 study by the London School of Economics (LSE) concluded that immigration has not led to an increase in crime and that migrants are, on average, less likely to commit crimes than native-born individuals.
- Are Migrants More Likely to Commit Crimes?
- The UK’s Office for National Statistics (ONS) does not routinely break down crime data by immigration status.
- Some political narratives claim that specific migrant groups are overrepresented in certain crimes, but this is often based on selective or misinterpreted data.
- Studies suggest that migrants are generally more law-abiding than the native population, possibly due to the risk of deportation and social barriers.
- Contextual Factors
- Socioeconomic factors such as poverty, lack of opportunities, and social exclusion can contribute to crime, regardless of immigration status.
- Areas with high crime rates often have long-standing issues unrelated to migration.
Conclusion
There is no strong evidence that crime rates have exponentially risen due to immigration, nor that migrants are the primary perpetrators. Crime is influenced by a range of factors, including economic conditions and social policies, rather than simply the presence of migrants.
…because most of the crimes reported are not being recorded by the Police, they instead track the suspects through the face-recognition CCTV system to get to the guys at the top of that crime ring… so there being a method, to their seemingly-impervious, nonchalant madness.
.
So… crime rates are actually very-high in the UK, but the arrests of over half-a-thousand crims every month in night/dawn raids, far outweighs the effects of a few minor arrests here and there.
.
Any rise in crime, is an unwanted rise in crime, no? …especially the ‘r*ping and slaughtering of children’ kind of crime… coz that’s a different kind of crime altogether.
Normalising and/or underplaying such crimes towards minors is obviously going to cause concern and outrage en masse, and we should be worried if it didn’t cause concern and outrage amongst us.
.
The crimes being committed on a daily basis here are crazy/crazy high, but the police crack the criminal gangs, and even reunite many of the victims with their stolen goods.
When I lived in the UK (admittedly long ago) I was serving people working in the building industry, who were very rugged men and they bragged about a lot of crimes, including those of a sexual nature, gang-bangs, porn-rings, but also praised people who had got away with theft and fraud. In the end, after I had left, the whole shop and its customers were found to be infiltrated by a gang of criminals working together, robbing the shop owner and supporting a prostitution ring. It even had connections to the serial rapist in Gloucester, whose name I can’t remember, although charges weren’t brought in connection with that.
There wasn’t an immigrant in sight.
