Do you agree with this statement..?

What you consider "extraordinary" depends on what you are predisposed to believe.

If your friend said "I saw a woman walking down the street with four dogs", you might think it a little odd, but would take his word for it.

If he said "I saw a woman walking down the street with four arms", you would insist on seeing it for yourself.

On the other hand, if you were from a culture where nobody keeps dogs, and your friend was a visionary who often reports seeing multi-armed Hinduesque deities which you yourself happen to believe in, perhaps these reactions would be reversed.

I am sure it would be just as you say.

However.

Let us not forget that faith and truth are often two different things.

True?

;)
 
I agree, many people have faith in a religion, and they think it is truth, but they don't practice it so the meaning of truth changes.

....and even if they did, that would still not prove their claims to be true.

Code.

Know what fella.

Try to imagine this place as a pub.

In this virtual pub, there are a lot of different people.

Some nice looking girls.

Some guys, look like office bods.

And so on.

And then there is that one guy.

Sitting in the corner alone. Feeling sorry for him, you strike up a conversation, only to find, 20 mins in, why he was sitting alone. That man is you.



No offence.

LoL rrrrite and in this world, you must be the guy
who every girl is madly in love with eh? LOL!!!

btw, I am guessing by this pub analogy, that you are
here to socialize? You are aren't you? Its a common
characteristic of people who aren't comfortable with
real people. They tend to use the net for socialization
purposes. And by your obvious lack of providing any
substance in your posts, I can see that you are not
actually here for anything other then socializing...

Just one girl, that happens to be enough, thanks.

Hey, re the pub analogy, go look at your join date and post count.

Then compare it to mine.

Then try to deduct who spends most time on here?

Anyway, to be honest, I can't really be bothered feeding the troll, so I am going to do that which has been advised and ignore ya.

:cool:

lol yes, I am sure that you are so much kooler then me.
That of course, is all you need to win an argument here
in this virtual pub of yours eh? it is all a popularity contest
after all rite?
 
Basically what it comes down to is this.

I am just not interested in a discourse with you.

Okay?
 
I feel if you experience the truth, one does not have to believe it or prove it. Live it, there is nothing to prove.
 
You do get high off of the Truth, but you have to experience it first. If you don't experience it you won't get the high.

The truth about what?

No offence, but these are very seductive yet essentially meaningless terms you are using, in the context of this thread.

What are you trying to say with this analogy? How is c0de this guy who is sitting alone and what's the reason? I don't get it.

What do you think? He's talking about the truth about girls.:D

This is a dating site.:D Isn't that what you said? This is a virtual pub. Time to get drunk and randy! Virtually drunk. Virtually randy.

Virtual flirtations. Virtual affairs. Virtual sex. Virtual marriage. Virtual romance.

Are you ready for a night of excitement?
 
Mate, it was an analogy that Code got at that time it was applicable.

It's all very 'yesterday' now.

We might lock horns again, Code and I.

;)
 
If Truth is meaningless to you then you are not experiencing it. You have to go inside yourself and find it. No one can give it to you.

See, and I do not mean to offend, but this reads a bit like some pseudo mystical new age stuff!

In reality, it actually amounts to nothing, it is not even a debate!
