Such an interesting question and I missed it. I will correct that immediately. Feelings are evil spirits. When they dominate over the mind, people go mad, they rage, and commit irrational acts. A medical procedure? Why? The mind itself is capable of regulating feelings, but only in its presence.
Now about evil spirits. The names of the three main ones — Faith, Hope, and Love. Meet them. Faith — the instinct of herd mentality, barbarism. Where one sheep goes, another follows without thinking. Hope — baseless belief in a good future. Love — the insinuations of the mind on the topic of ownership.
Well, how is it? Did your weak mind manage to see the evil spirits face to face? Or do you only enjoy their backside?
As for the topic, I would suggest a different question. Imagine a miracle — the telepathy ban is lifted for all people without exception. How do you like that? Lies, religions, worldviews, politics, governments, and power would vanish in an instant. Almost all families would fall apart. Are you amused? No love, no faith, no hope. Just pure reason..
Technically, perception itself is bias. To perceive one thing instead of another.
The truth instead of a lie?
Technically… A sharper scalpel in the hands of a surgeon is more useful than, for example, a chainsaw, no matter how much it’s sharpened (just a joke). But seriously, everything has its place and purpose, including fantasies. Have you already imagined a world of people with universal telepathy? Can you picture how believers would tremble, since faith would become unnecessary, pitiful, and laughable?
If you take belief away from a lie, only the truth remains. Simple mathematics. A lie without belief is impossible, and that is certainly the truth.
You can put a lie into a proposition that is not believed (intellectual dissent). So, too, can you put the truth into a proposition that is not believed (intellectual dissent).
So if the atheist is wrong about God, their intellectual dissent is on pain of rationality. Would you call that faith, a lack of faith, or neither?
Are we going to have this discussion in two different threads?
The assessment of rationality, practicality, and, finally, the meaning of a statement completely destroys faith. However, a spoonful of faith added to a barrel of honeyed knowledge turns knowledge into something useless, unfit for use.
We’re not discussing this; I’m openly mocking you and your faith, I think for the general amusement of the forum’s regulars.
What about a spoonful of honey that makes the barrel of monkeys shut up?
Right before I read this, I was reading this weird thing on Facebook that says queen bees are not born, they are made with a special food that only they eat. First of all, they’re just breeders, and they don’t rule anything. Second of all, they don’t identify as drones. Third of all, they mate with 10 or 20 drones and nobody slut-shames them or calls them breeders.
Conclusion? The Creator is a freak.
Be gone, Demon.
Monkeys in a barrel? Have you ever seen anything like that? Judging, talking bees? Are you trying to make people laugh here, or has faith ended? The Creator is a bastard, a scoundrel, and a cannibal. Any negative and derogatory word applies to Him. But on the other hand, is the wolf guilty for eating the lamb? Although the Owner is guilty, before the henhouse. So is God just a cannibal, or the Owner of the henhouse?
I grew up with that. Then I saw it on Toy Story.
Were you born under a rock?
A clown won’t manage to be a fool. It won’t work to lower the interlocutor to the level of their own stupidity and then break them on their own territory. That’s only accessible to me. It’s somewhat amusing – ‘born in a barrel with monkeys’. But if meaning is lost in the joke – then it’s more likely pitiful.
what makes you so special?
The jester is allowed anything, even to sleep on the throne, until kicked off.
