Re: Seeing Things Differently -DanP the apologist excuse.
I agree. Nonetheless, we each are subject to the limitations of being “closed in” inasfar as we create and in a certain sense imagine our own reality. Whether or not we change our biases and perceptions are a product of multifaceted workings within the closed system of our own minds. To think that ...

Re: Seeing Things Differently -DanP the apologist excuse.
I suppose you would have to answer that question for yourself. Regards, MG I don't know. As of now I am not aware of anyone knowing. Believing that they know is quite widespread in today's world and it hasn't lossed its ability to infect politics, medical care and almost all religions. I think Carl...

Re: Seeing Things Differently -DanP the apologist excuse.
Next sentence, same thing. Makes no sense. To me. Can you explain why this sentence has meaning for you? Maybe some concrete examples?
Regards,
MG

Re: Seeing Things Differently -DanP the apologist excuse.
Free will requires something outside of reality, by definition. This doesn’t make sense to me. I know it probably does to you because you produced this thought in your mind and decided to express it. But your thought/statement doesn’t do anything for me. Maybe if you expanded it a bit so that I mig...

Re: Seeing Things Differently -DanP the apologist excuse.
In fact I do. Just as you had the free will to respond to my post. No it didn’t. As I’ve recently said, however, that does seem to happen. You’re taking an all or nothing approach it seems to me. I could be mistaken though because I can’t know for a fact what is going on inside your head. I wrote t...

Re: Lars Nielsen's "How the Book of Mormon Came to Pass"
In my experience, Hales is a frustrating interlocutor. I am sure he means well, and he is not a bad guy, but his tactics are pretty slippery. He straw mans his opponents, and his own arguments are recycled. His Joseph couldn’t have done this ergo God arguments are his usual go-to approach. My probl...

Re: Seeing Things Differently -DanP the apologist excuse.
You don’t have the free will to have written this any other way. Your brain didn’t just travel the path of least resistance- it traveled the only path it could have. There was no point in time when you could have written this differently, because then you would have written it differently. If you d...

Re: Seeing Things Differently -DanP the apologist excuse.
Some people are more malleable than others because they seem to be predisposed to letting their minds travel the path of least resistance. We’re all prone to that. But after all is said and done we are responsible for our own decisions even as we receive constant input and influences from the outsi...
