Re: Seeing Things Differently -DanP the apologist excuse.
I do have empathy. I've always had empathy for you. As I do for you and others who have lost their belief/faith in the church. I give you the benefit of a doubt that you’re coming from a good place. A place of stability in your personal life where you are happy and fulfilled. Over the years I’ve he...

Re: The Many-Transfigurations theory
Oh, I know that quote is in the Hadith. It's the idea that Muhammed used those words when he was shrugging his shoulders about picking a successor that's screwy. Yeah, that's probably right.

Oh, I know that quote is in the Hadith. It's the idea that Muhammed used those words when he was shrugging his shoulders about picking a successor that's screwy. There are a lot of theories about who Muhammed thought should succeed him, but I don't believe the majority of them (whether Twelver or Su...

Re: Seeing Things Differently -DanP the apologist excuse.
Believe me, it’s been all to your benefit. I’ve cut you an extraordinary amount of slack because of it, and assigned you the best of motives. Gee, thanks. Sarcasm noted. It's true, whether you like reading it or not. I cut you slack and engage you because you remind me of him. I don't know very muc...

Re: Seeing Things Differently -DanP the apologist excuse.
Not sure what all of this is, nor what it means… Ah, the old feigning confusion ploy. …or what precipitated the meltdown. Ah, the old meltdown ploy. I mentioned your deception (or what you call a technicality), and now you’re talking about your defensiveness and road to recovery or something like t...

First question-Is more Information always better than less information? Answer:No Second question-Is it generally better to have more information on a particular topic than less in order to make reasoned judgments and conclusions? Yes I’ll leave that as it is. If you want to continue on with your n...

Re: Seeing Things Differently -DanP the apologist excuse.
What was your question for the "on the other hand part"? Is it generally better to have more information on a particular topic than less in order to make reasoned judgments and conclusions? That's an entirely different question--and includes a concept that no one would disagree with. Of course it's...

Re: Seeing Things Differently -DanP the apologist excuse.
On the other hand: Pi A.I.: Generally speaking, yes, having more information on a particular topic can be beneficial in making reasoned judgments and conclusions.
