You fail to engage the real questions, you dodged this explanation many times already, even when I presented it to you in s and p before you were banned.

Your analogy is bad because it doesn't correlate to the question posited.

The truth is apparently evident, nothing would change because you simply refuse to get it, even when served on a silver platter to your bedside.

Keep telling yourself it isn't important, but who are you trying to convince?

I know you're probably not blind and can see exactly what I'm talking about, just open your eye and look.

in Iceland fairies have legal rights,
personally I have never seen any fairies, but I am keeping my nose clean in case they attack.

Don't tell me you also misconstrue spirituality with unfounded claims.

Stereotypical generalizations.

Of course you don't believe in a fairy if you haven't seen one, but what if you did see one and no one else did?

Do you question your sanity?

What if it started visiting you on a regular basis?

Do you begin to question others sanity?

Now instead of seeing a fairy, what about a subjective experience such as a thought? Can you really show me what someone is thinking? Or is the closest we can get is by accepting what they are claiming they are thinking?

The thought we can experience, personally, yet we cannot experience it objectively.

Sure it does. The same stance among a different group/time/place can be seen as either supportive or disruptive though the person holding the stance is the same.

The Truth never needs protection. It can stand scrutiny. Dogma MUST be protected at all costs and cannot be critically examined. Fear and Truth cannot co-exist.

How about a simple answer then, would you do anything differently?

Would I change my core values? Would you because someone slapped your wrist? Would Mandala?

It seems that you agree with the idea of political prisoners as a way to help them 'get their mind right'.

It seems like you're the one dodging the critical analysis. If that is true then are you protecting your dogma?

Methodological naturalism is undefeatable imo.

Use the tool for which it was designed.

Fairies wear boots, and you gotta believe me.
