Since when were drag queens for kids? : Comments

By Tim O'Hare, published 15/1/2020

But a worrying trend in our political discourse is that leftist outrage is fostered by the national media whilst conservative outrage is dismissed.

Yuyutsu, when you say you believe in god, you're defining him at the same time. That's what you've been doing for the last few days.

"In that which I am." Please stop copying Jordan Peterson and post in plain English.

Just because more than one person is real doesn't also mean that god is real. I don't see how you reached the conclusion that god is real.

the Left has helped secure strong welfare protections.
Now please. Tell me what benefits your conservatives ideals have brought to Australia.
Ayame tan,
The Conservatives have built the facilities & reasonable Peace (which the Leftists are keen to destroy) that this Nation is only just still enjoying.
The leftists are hypocrites of the highest order. To me they're gutless, vindictive maggots who perpetually sabotage our efforts to improve our society.

Dear AyameTan,

It is not possible to define God in a positive manner, but we can still say what God is not. If you need a provisional definition of God, you could use this: God is not an object, yet there is nothing, nor can there be anything, besides God.

«Just because more than one person is real doesn't also mean that god is real»

Correct, but I was speaking of you and I, not of persons.

"Person" is derived from Greek "persona" = mask. We sort of "wear" a person and temporarily identify with it like a mask that we wear when going on stage. An actor might even forget that they wear a mask, but when the show ends, they remember and take it off. I was referring to our true selves, not to our masks.

Belief in God consists of three elements: experience, blind faith and logic. The wise say that with time and religious practices, experience can increase and blind faith reduce, then when direct experience completely replaces blind faith, belief changes into knowledge.

By my direct experience I know that I am real. Had I not known this, then I would need to resort to blind faith to assume so.

By blind faith, for the time-being, I assume that you also are real. In time I hope to experience this directly too, then blind faith will no longer be required.

By logic, there are four possible ways by which we are able to communicate, rather than exist in a world of our own:

1) We are both made of some common underlying reality.
2) I am made of you.
3) You are made of me.
4) We are one and the same.

#1 is excluded when I speak of our true selves, our true reality rather than our personalities/masks. If there is an underlying reality, then we truly ARE this reality.

#2 is excluded because I am real.
#3 is excluded because you are real.

Only option #4 remains.

That which I am, you are, and everyone else truly is, I refer to as God.

Individual: which facilities and reasonable peace are you referring to? Please be specific. And please explain how conservative ideals and people were the only ways to accomplish them.

And why are leftists keen to "destroy this peace"? I don't know why any sane person would want to destroy peace.

Also, please explain how leftists are hypocrites. I would argue that conservatives are hypocrites. Why didn't they send welfare recipients to war? And why do politicians draw such high salaries?

Yuyutsu, you're rambling. Please read this article.

Dear AyameTan,

I understand that you have no further questions.

I have plenty of questions, Yuyutsu. You've never shown a logical link between the existence of people and the existence of your god.

Did you even read the article I linked to?

Here's another one: what's the highest level of English education you've received?
