    Conversations with people with delusions of infallibility

    I’ve not really got suggestions to your question but wanted to say that I love the way you phrased this; I find it admirable. To me, your attentive reflections signalise wisdom and I’m sure this considerate, inner wisdom that you bear within will guide you perfectly well. Humbly, Hermit

    Do atheists PRAY to anybody ?

    In my experience, yes, oddly enough. In face of true fear, many atheists do “pray”. Though, as soon as their fear passes, that odd act mostly becomes incomprehensible to them and they cannot elaborate on their reasons for having done so. Cultural “instinct” is a probable explanation...

    Do you think that someday the world will improve for everyone?

    I don’t know that the worldly circumstance of most people will “improve”. They’ll change, for sure - they are forever doing so. I think that I hope that attitudes to our circumstances -whatever those may be- improve, though. :praying: Humbly, Hermit

    Understanding the holy scriptures is impossible unless God gives you the interpretation

    I’d say that one does not need to be a spiritually “chosen” individual of sorts, to understand Scripture spiritually. But scripture -like all text- can be approached from many different, [non-spiritual] angles too (historical, cultural, linguistic, geographical, etc.) and there is no spiritual...

    Why does Ignorance exist ?

    Albeit, there are many different sorts of “ignorance” and you give no particular definition to the type that you wish to discuss here, but what if life is precisely because of ignorance and shall result in non-ignorance, upon which it shall cease to exist as that which we currently call “life”...

    Why do Humans care about anything ?

    I do not know the particular cause and/or purpose of your question but generally speaking, a normal functioning human brain cannot refrain from registering, categorising, analysing and storing its interpretation (conclusion) of what it is exposed to. In other words; human experience is...

    What "if" you are wrong

    It would appear sensible to say that whether one is of faith or not, what continuously “matters” most cannot be what one may or may not believe, but the outcomes (multiple) of what one does/does not. Regardless of whether through choice or circumstance, action or inaction, understanding or...

    The Great Lie.

    :emojconfused: A “philosophy” not put to its test yet then, the one your mission it is to “leave behind”?

    The Great Lie.

    That’s a pity. I was looking forward to reading how you have managed to eliminate suffering from your life and that of those in your presence. It sounds fantastic.

    Is the evolutionary doctrine a racist doctrine?

    Biologically [and evolutionarily] speaking, all people -irrespective of skin colour- belong to one and the same race: the human one.

    Is Atheism (et al) a Worldview?

    I’d say that atheism is part of an atheist’s worldview (regarding gods), but that it does not address anything other than questions of deity. There is not a specific worldview among atheists because though many materialists and empiricists will be atheists, not all of them are and a range of...

    Worldview

    What is your actual question though? Because like anyone, over time you will have acquired a view on how the world is and why it is so, yes? That’s a worldview. Worldviews are concepts about the hows and whys of what we encounter. Worldviews grow in complexity as we experience and reflect...

    Why does God prevent us from helping one another?

    Dearest @Ella S. Your question expresses the healthy and empathetic, valuable side of humanity that we should all cherish when experienced within. One of life’s many profound and trying challenges is that of coming to terms with what is not within our reach and/or power to change. In...

    Are Believers Delusional?

    Yes. And I also think that all sense of entitlement is base on odd beliefs but, as you yourself point out below I don’t think that those sort of beliefs are so very religious - despite what those who may hold them believe. ;) Humbly, Hermit
