What's this?
No magic tricks here... that was posted by Sclorch. A different person posted that. That person was quite naive. He took drugs to feel like a god. He was lost. One day he learned to ask questions... but no one could give him answers. Somehow he figured that philosophy had answers for him. This is how he broke his chains for good. He had begun his new life outside the cave. Soon he realized that philosophy really only had better questions.
I heard he still posts around here....

You believe in a God?

I'd like to hear what you believe, now. Substitute "believe" for some other word if you please.

But yeah it's fun to go back and look at old posts. I think i've contradicted myself on practically every subject there is.

You are possessed by a demon. You need to return to the fold. May the lord have mercy on your soul.
-------------------- To call humans 'rational beings' does injustice to the term, 'rational.' Humans are capable of rational thought, but it is not their essence. Humans are animals, beasts with complex brains. Humans, more often than not, utilize their cerebrum to rationalize what their primal instincts, their preconceived notions, and their emotional desires have presented as goals - humans are rationalizing beings.

I assume you are talking to me. In fact I often assume that every post is directed at me. After a while it gets very confusing. Some of my posts are directed at me but I didn't start them that way. They are tricksy bastards and turn on me like a pack of angry dogs when I am not looking.
I hate that.
Anyway, where were we?
Oh Yes, you were expressing the view that you and that person are one sort of, or something like that.
From where I sit you haven't read enough.
Full circle.

Actually, I wasn't talking to anybody specifically. I was just thinking of where I was a few years ago...
Oh Yes, you were expressing the view that you and that person are one sort of, or something like that.
No... not at all. I can see where you could draw some Pirsig parallels... but that wasn't my intention.
From where I sit you haven't read enough.
Of course not... but should I doubt that you'd change your mind if I shared your view on the matter?
Sometimes, sir, you get a little full of yourself.

Oh God Sclorch! I was teasing you big time!
I guess I should have put a wink or something in it so it would be clear.
It is clear that you have developed from those earlier days. As far as reading enough, sincerely, I do not think you have. And yes, if you agreed with some key points that we have yet to discuss AND could explain in detail why you hold the opinion you do, then undoubtedly I would say you need to read more.
We all do. 
[hopes he catches the wink this time]
