is god...

[Storm]

:thud:
did i miss something?
i asked you:
what is so noble about chasing something that is indescribable?

you replied with:
It's always noble to seek knowledge for its own sake.


help me out here...

I didn't say that knowledge was attainable.

 

[waitasec]

I didn't say that knowledge was attainable.

so what does this mean?

1. acquaintance with facts, truths, or principles, as from study or investigation; general erudition: knowledge of many things.

2. familiarity or conversance, as with a particular subject or branch of learning: A knowledge of accounting was necessary for the job.

3. acquaintance or familiarity gained by sight, experience, or report: a knowledge of human nature.

—Synonyms
1. See information. 4. understanding, discernment, comprehension; erudition, scholarship.

what i highlighted i understand as those things that are attainable...

i'll put it another way
it's not about the destination, it's about the ride...is that what you mean...?
:rainbow1:

edit:
so what do you mean by this?

Knowledge isn't. God is.

meaning knowledge isn't ineffable

 

[AmbiguousGuy]

i see, so chasing god makes one knowledgeable...

I think so... depending on one's definition of God, of course.

I spend my life chasing a God whom I've sworn never to find.

I like that a lot.

(If I'm understanding it correctly)
"I looked for God, and I looked for God, and then I found Him, so obviously it was someone else. And so, I kept looking".

 

[Storm]

so what does this mean?

Oh for God's sake!

I didn't mean that knowledge itself is unattainable. I meant that that specific knowledge (knowledge of God) is.

Is conversing with you always this difficult?

had you said that in the first place i would have understood you...and up until now you didn't say that...even though you knew i was asking you to :help:
but instead all i got from you were short responses and you had no hand in making yourself clearer...so excuse me

This is the same mindset which results in people being single their whole lives.

I know. You really can't go wrong with this philosophy no matter what you apply it to.

Except when it comes to cheeseburgers.

 

[Quagmire]

Except when it comes to cheeseburgers.

"I looked for cheeseburgers and I looked for cheeseburgers, and then I found one, so I kept looking".

Not seeing the problem here.

 

[Orias]

False yet again!

You're quietly ignoring the fact that Christian unitarians exist, too!

So it's not just "my kind."

Bruce

Yes I must of missed the "Christian" part

Heh, some of us are more fortunate.
