You can also live life just fulfilling your physical needs.
You can live life fulfilling your physical needs and emotional needs.
You can live life fulfilling your physical, emotional and intellectual needs.
It is all about the quality of life.
It is about the quality of existence.
Just as animals can survive without ever pondering their own existence (even better, look at plants) you can live life, with the attitude "Eat drink and make merry for tomorrow we die."
No one is stopping you. There is another way. A way where your eating, your drinking and your merry-making, yes, your whole life is better, more fulfilling and more exciting.
There is a way whereby you can wake up every morning with a happy song in your head. You can go through life in bliss.
You will be doing what everyone is doing outwardly but it will be different because the difference is in your mind.

It was to remind you that "thinking", the ability to think, to doubt, to work out and to understand is what separates man from animals.Originally posted by gigabyte14:i really catch no balls

My consciousness and even if I tried to doubt it, it would be my consciousness doubting. I can imagine that my senses are being presented with a fake reality – say, a completely virtual reality or digital reality, which looks real but is merely a series of extremely realist images. But even then, I cannot doubt the consciousness that is doing the watching…
The very undeniability of my present awareness, the undeniability of my consciousness, immediately delivers to me a certainty of existence in this moment, a certainty of Being in the now-ness of this moment. I cannot doubt consciousness and Being in this moment, for it is the ground of all knowing, all seeing, all existingÂ…
...which in itself, is a change.... as you'd said, it makes people FEEL better.Originally posted by AndrewPKYap:That might work too, introducing a "Heavenly Father". Introducing a "Heavenly Father" into the picture changes nothing, except that it makes people feel better.
Who are you to decide what's reality and what's not?Originally posted by AndrewPKYap:Unfortunately while it makes people feel better, it is not reality and whatever is not reality slips easily into delusion.
You have no idea what is real and what is not, how you can judge it?Originally posted by jondizzle foshizzle:Who are you to decide what's reality and what's not?
Originally posted by Chin Eng:and if you are not careful and start taking what makes you feel better as reality, then you will end up delusional..." If you know that what it is is that "it makes you feel better only" then it will not lead to delusion.

I'm not judging it, you are lol. You said God isn't a reality so therefore you're judging what's real and what's not. You just contradicted yourself lolOriginally posted by AndrewPKYap:You have no idea what is real and what is not, how you can judge it?![]()
Exactly, and you have no idea what is real and what is not? You cannot tell what is real and what is not? Another delusional in this forum.Originally posted by jondizzle foshizzle:I'm not judging it, you are lol. You said God isn't a reality so therefore you're judging what's real and what's not.

you dont make sense!Originally posted by AndrewPKYap:Exactly, and you have no idea what is real and what is not? You cannot tell what is real and what is not? Another delusional in this forum.![]()
You lack English comprehension skills. If I say, nobody came except for John, do you understand that sentence? Does it mean, nobody came or only John came?Originally posted by Vigelic:you dont make sense!
1) u said no change, but u said pple will feel better (which is a change)
You lack English comprehension skills, here again. "how you can judge it?" , the question mark at the end shows that it is a question. I was asking him a question. Where did I say I cannot judge what is real and what is not? I was asking him if he cannot tell what is real and what is not, whether or not he cannot judge what is real and what is not. Isn't someone that cannot tell what is real and what is not real delusional?Originally posted by Vigelic:2) u said u cannot judge wad is reality or not and then u said heavenly father is not reality (which is judging)
see above.Originally posted by Vigelic:3) and who r u to decide what's delusional and what's not when delusions can only exist opposite of reality?
What is my opinion?Originally posted by AndrewPKYap:That is your opinion.
What an idiot you are... show all of us here where I said, specifically that "God isn't real "?Originally posted by jondizzle foshizzle:Okay so you're saying that God isn't real eh? Well I thought that someone as open-minded as you are wouldn't so quickly dismiss the possibility of an omniscient being. But perhaps you're too arrogant and cocksure that you think that you know everything.
That might work too, introducing a "Heavenly Father". Introducing a "Heavenly Father" into the picture changes nothing, except that it makes people feel better.Originally posted by AndrewPKYap:What an idiot you are... show all of us here where I said, specifically that "God isn't real "?
I challenge you, name the topic, the page and the time of the post. If you cannot you are just an idiot.
At the most, I will say that there is no evidence for God/a god, if you are too stupid to understand the difference, don't blame me, blame your own stupidity.
I said, introducing the concept of a ""Heavenly Father" into the picture " and what picture was that? The picture that there is a "Heavenly Father" that takes care of you - that is "not reality".Originally posted by jondizzle foshizzle:That might work too, introducing a "Heavenly Father".

Right there. Page 3 of this thread. There we go I just proved you wrong. Guess you're the delusional idiot now.
I'm not going to try to show you that God exists because that would be judging what's real and what's not just like you said. So unlike you, I won't contradict myself. And again you're saying that a Heavenly Father isn't reality so you are AGAIN judging what's real and what's not and you are AGAIN contradicting yourself.Originally posted by AndrewPKYap:I said, introducing the concept of a ""Heavenly Father" into the picture " and what picture was that?

Show us here the evidence of God/a god... go ahead, since you think you are so smart, provide us the evidence of God/a god.
Tell me why the "Heavenly Father" that takes care of the birds, allowed the Dodo bird to become extinct? Tell us, since you are so smart.![]()
Oh you're really desperate now aren't you? Going from a sensible argument to personal attacks. Well you just proved my point that when someone doesn't agree with you you say they're stupid, delusional and talking nonsense. Well done mate, well done.Originally posted by AndrewPKYap:Since you acknowledge that you are not so smart, now also acknowledge that you are stupid and talking nonsense....![]()
