The Boy with a Demon …19Afterward the disciples came to Jesus privately and asked, “Why couldn’t we drive it out?” 20“Because you have so little faith,” He answered. “For truly I tell you, if you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.” … Ok uncle Thomas, faith can be proven, but only by those whose faith is at least the size of a mustard seed. Apparently no one has sufficient faith, as no mountains are being moved by anyone. Faith has to be free from all dots. It has to be pure and unalloyed to move mountains, or people.

If that were true I would have remained with my previous girlfriend and a very stale relationship "for known comfort". 20 hours ago, Habitat said: You aren't expected to trust anecdotes, I don't respect claims that anecdotes are useless to all, including the teller. That really is a toxic lie. Anecdotes are unsupported claims for the most part. The minute an anecdote + evidence appears, we should get interested. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You both dig your heels in and won't budge an inch.. I'd agree that Hab and psyche are entrenched at the opposite ends of the spectrum, but I think that's where the similarities end. If you disagree with Psyche or just want to know where he's coming from, he can provide it. I can understand how he got to his position, regardless of whether I personally come to the same conclusion from the same evidence, because he explains it in detail. I'd agree with you guys though that Hab I think has more potential than some of our 'other team' posters. I just wish he'd engage with the argumentation instead of dropping one-two sentence restatements of his position that seem more defensive than anything. There's no reason to keep the shields up, he can drop them, we're not firing photon torpedoes and full phasers. We just naturally take sensor readings of everything here, and maybe at worst just wanna beam over a couple tribbles for him to think about. 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XenoFish Posted May 24, 2019 #3118 Share Posted May 24, 2019 I'm really coming to believe, perhaps understand that it's all about control. At least a sense of it. Religion, magick, the law of attraction. All revolving around "controlling circumstance". 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would argue that it is humans simply being afraid, and needing a security blanket to make them feel better. How do we fix this? I wish I knew. Anyone who figures it out will likely be raised up as a new religious figure. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pallidin Posted May 24, 2019 #3123 Share Posted May 24, 2019 (edited) What one person considers "truth in politics", "truth in science", or "truth in religion" can often be substantially different from someone else. It's somewhat considered that this phenom is attributable to the notion that, to varying degrees, humans "live in emotion", rather than "live in bare fact" Edited May 24, 2019 by pallidin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do the planets and all other small matter floating around us, have any say as far as being compelled to going around in nearly endless circles about the sun, which controls them? To have any control over others one must have plenty of mass, and a positive attitude, to attract all the small negative elements. You are an exception, as you still attract others, while you have a negative attitude and very little mass, to boot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
