Topic: The story of two fears

Denmark guy !jJEom8Ii3E started this discussion 10 years ago #56,380

Two men once feared each other. Finally one is murdered by the other, but the fear never died. Instead another man replaced the murdered man, this time he murdered the murderer. But the same thing happened, because these two fears, they aren't fears about men but instead the world and it's only manifested in men.

Facts are just facts, it's the conclusion that's made out of them which matters

For example when some people were catching up to the fact that the earth was round. It didn't matter how much sense they made, how factual they presented their case. It was still blasphemy and the only way to counter the power of priests was to come up with a new belief, that regardless if something was blasphemy or not, it should be believed true if proven so.

I like you think one should by all means maintain his logicalness, rationality and factualness.

But part of doing just that which you mentioned, is to realize it's not everything nor the only thing that matters.

Er this is stepping far too far towards religious apocrypha for my tastes.

You asked for depth but I understand. However, the moral of the story is that belief are far more influential of people instead of facts or science. It was only through the belief that science matters which science could really ever seriously take off.

Ah, no, I get where you are now. Science is understood in all too axiomatic and talismanic a way by many to really matter as an authority, and in the modern world, I feel it is a personal obligation not to let it govern the life of somebody too excessively. "For science" is an incendiarily progressivist shtick that has me, in an irksome way, loathing the thought of its overextended influence.

Atheistic moralists are certainly rare and paradoxical but he irrespectively has my respect.

It seems we are alike in that way to some degree. But my battery is running out, i plan to listen to some music so I must go. I hate the idea of getting into a serious heated discussion with you all and then have my battery run out, my plans interrupted by my own accidental provoking.

I also hate returning to old topics. Good night, sleep well will you? =D
