We all create our own reality, even you. Everyone's reality is somewhat different, some are drastically different. Ever been to a mental hospital? Those people create some bizarre realities for themselves. It's a fact that every shrink has his own shrink. Listening to the realities of different people all day can have a detrimental effect on the listener and he needs to stay grounded in his own reality or he'll lose touch with it and become confused. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

You mean has my learning of right and wrong and my conscience ever been activated? Sorry to break it to you, that's not god, that's just training. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

You seemed to be saying you hated the fact that so many Christians do their own thing, disagree with each other, and even do evil things. In fact it seems like this is one of your reasons you don't believe. Yet, this seems par for the course in your mind. I'm confused. Do you think it's okay for anyone to make up their own reality or do you lament that they do and then find all this division and bad stuff? “It is with the smallest brushes that the artist paints the most exquisitely beautiful pictures.” ( |

No, I'm talking about right now as a grown person do you sometimes experience a desire to do something good along with a pull not to do said good thing? Maybe you think someone else will do it, it's not really that important, it's too hard or complicated, etc. “It is with the smallest brushes that the artist paints the most exquisitely beautiful pictures.” ( |

It's a fact, like air and gravity. My ok'ing it has nothing to do with anything. Do lots of people make up stupid realities to live in? You bet. Meth addicts, TV sports watchers, Walmart greeters, Branch Davidian's, etc. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

You read to much into everything, make it all too complicated. What you need to ask yourself is, why do you so desperately need a god in your life and I don't at all. Why is it you can't cope with everyday life without a god crutch, and I do just fine without it. That's what believers hate about atheists, they can't stand it that we don't need to have a god to tell us what to do, we're self sufficient. They won't be happy till they make us co-dependent like them. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

petroglyph Member since: Aug 3, 2014 Threads: 25 Posts: 6227 | I doubt whether there are two priests that agree on everything. That fact is proof enough that they are each interpreting reality at least slightly different, unless they are mental clones, they make it up as they go along just like everyone else. Reality is indeed, created by the observer. The last official act of any government is to loot the treasury. GW |

The purpose of a cult is to make the reality of everyone involved as close to the cults reality as possible. That's why in the strictest cults contact with outsiders is kept at a minimum. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

So no matter what someone thinks you believe the only true reality is that they are making up their own reality? Is that just some wierd reality you are making up? What if the reality that I make up is that I am not making up reality? How did you come to believe that you can make up your own reality? There seems to be so precious little of life we can control, how or why do you think we can determine our own reality? It seems like you are desperately trying to avoid the painful reality that you don't control reality at all by positing this strange, childish, and prehistoric idea that human beings can control or make up what is true. “It is with the smallest brushes that the artist paints the most exquisitely beautiful pictures.” ( |
