Letter to the Editor: Thorny existential questions abound

I think there shall not be any removal of the display of the daily morning sunrise which no Atheist placed at the horizon, centuries ago, leaving no Sun to be stolen by any Atheist's (dis) beliefs which is, rather, an oxymoron since no Atheist has any true belief except the utter arrogance involved in his own darkened disbelief which is no belief at all which can make him consider whether even his own apparent existence is, really, worthy of any true belief at all since no Atheist can, substantially, prove (by essence [i.e. consider Tibetan Buddhist teaching, here to grasp the point a little better, if you like]) the worth of his own life in its individual personhood who cannot, also, believe That One Exists who created all beliefs which no Atheist can accept by way of denial if the Atheist can believe there is such a concept as denial since all things are rendered existentially meaningless without the preponderance of any foundational reasoning behind the possible necessity of necessary belief since there is (in Atheist eyes) no Creator which created any beliefs leaving humanity to swim, merely, in its own seas of apparently rational reasonings and disordered opinions which can have no ordered substance if there is no rational belief beyond the boundaries of meaningless disbelief inherent in what the Atheist conceives as correct by way of assumption which cannot, in all practicality, be believed for all the thread of reasoning given above.  (Friday Nov 27 | post #5)

Religious labeling bothers Franklin County area Muslims

Shining the Clear White Light Of Thought into a Prism of Perception... [by 'Prism' I do mean (by way of illustration): A transparent body of this form, often of glass and usually with triangular ends, used for separating white light passed through it into a spectrum or for reflecting beams of light] ...while disallowing the Resulting Appearance of the Spectrum Of Worldly Opinions may be impossible when considering the physical aspects of this matter. The matter informing this "Prism Idea", then, precludes any Definitive World Agreement by way of a Dominant Collective Definition of Enduring Harmony on "religious " matters... so long as the physical Human Body is subject to Nature and defined by Nature's limitations. Perceptions, being separated into many, are (by this fragmentation) necessarily reduced to ongoing Spectral Analysis (i.e. varying opinions)...but what is the true Nature of the Clear White Light which radiates from those Intellectual Regions whose Infinite Magnitudes the Human Mind cannot fully fathom while the Thoughts of this Existence are being transmuted into Infinite Radiations of Reflections even while immersed in the ['spectral'] colors of, even, this Finite Life?  (Thursday Nov 12 | post #7)

Shippensburg man charged for extreme speed

If he was going at such extreme speed he would, necessarily, have thought that everyone else was going, extremely, slow and would never have realized that his impressions of speed did not negate the truth of the hard awaiting Reality or the eventual necessity of the cessation of movement which he was attempting to surpass by transcending the heavenly speed-of-light barrier which, itself, negates not at all the necessity of far slower speeds on earth which are, by nature, all susceptible to constraints by the laws of matter which are ever involved in any terrestrial "speed limits". In other words, speeding is proven to be, rather, useless...since no matter how fast one goes in a transportive vehicle, one will not be able to transcend, on earth, that motion which surpasses the speed-of-light in the heavens or even come anywhere near such speeds...which makes all speeding on earth seem, rather, slow...by comparison. I speak "semi-satiric ally". Finally, Lees deze woorden en betekenissen ongezien te maken tussen de zichtbare lijnen van uw intellectuele weg en overpeinzen de steeds terugkerende onderwerp: dat, snelheden reisde op aarde zaak lang niet zo veel als de snelheid waarmee het licht reist ... waardoor een relatief nutteloos alle snelheidsovertredi ngen die lijkt misschien zo ... op aarde.  (Wednesday Nov 11 | post #29)

Letter to the Editor: Trust in God to fix America's issues

The Previous Post does produce a Dilemma of a certain Nature: Free will may be, utterly, "conditioned "... yet, somehow, the Golden Rule must, still, apply in order for Humanity to retain some resemblance of Sanity... that is, if Humanity does wish to preserve itself (and this instinct for self-preservation does seem yet inherent in the beings that populate the Earth-- [...each species of being, in its own way, according to their unseen cyclical existences as well as the apparent mortally dependent linear structurings across minute amounts of time and, as well, involving Centuries among the differing and varying species...as far as they can be preserved according to the requirements of their own particular Natures...] --or, be preserved...someho w, metaphysically... across great spans of Time or almost no time at all (dependiing on your Theology and/or Worldview).  (Oct 6, 2009 | post #66)

Letter to the Editor: Trust in God to fix America's issues

But how free is "free will" when every Cause is conditioned by a previous web of Effects already arisen from previous Causes? You may "feel" that you have a "free will"... but how do you know that that "feeling " is not also caused by previous conditions which, thereby constitute Causes or a Nexus of Experiences each thread of which creates its own swirl of other conditions, and so on. What I have said is very much oversimplified...f or the Conditions which arise and all that causes their arising are far more complicated than can be mentioned here. There is much that could be inquired and refuted. Yet, I have inquired a legitimate question.  (Oct 6, 2009 | post #65)

Evenso, with regards to definitive proof about anything: I will use a certain illustration: I am sure you see these words below... (here, as written, in Dutch) as valid symbols of a certain language... Yet, you may yet find them unintellgible (this, depending on what languages you may have, previously, learned to speak)... Thus, I might conclude that you would not likely be, immediately, able to assess the true values [i.e. meanings] of the symbols [i.e. words of another language] which you see written (in Dutch)...because you might not have, before, been trained in the requirements of that particular understanding which would have been necessary in order to comprehend what is, presently, ..."seen "... [i.e. the "physical notations" of the symbols composing a language not understood because of not having been, previously, learned in that specific language...] though you may, still, assume: that, the meanings (which the words themselves retain for human understanding) continue to hold their own true sets of values [i.e. substance inherent in the meanings of the symbols which are the words--as written--themselve s, etymologically speaking... Indeed! Meanings which remain "relevant " despite the Fact which remains which denotes: that, not all who may see "physical symbols" [of "words" and/or "word meanings"] will, necessarily, understand (in the same way...as someone else): that which may be or, actually, is "perceived " as to "methods " of (apparent) "proof" or "otherwise " ...yet? I will close with this: (Alleen voor berichten die van toepassing zijn: Niet voor andere posten die niet) Nuttige symbolen die woorden, in hun bestaan, veronderstellen te zijn, maar die niet behouden dezelfde betekenis voor iedereen, noodzakelijkerwijs , behoudt slechts een klein deel van de mogelijke betekenissen die kan nuttig zijn geweest voor de velen die had kunnen hebben andere dingen te doen in plaats dan verwennen hun leven lang genoeg om dergelijke zinloze lezen (met betrekking tot "waardigheid " van "essentie ") woordenstroom. **[Translation: (Only for Posts which apply: Not for other Posts which do not) Symbols which words, in their existence, presume to be but which do not retain the same meanings for all, necessarily, retain only a little of the potential meanings which could have been helpful to the many who might have had other things to do rather than to indulge their lives long enough to read such meaningless (as to "worthiness/d ignity" of "essence ") verbiage.]**  (Oct 6, 2009 | post #64)

Veel van de unthoughtful lijken vandaag de dag alleen bezig zijn voor hun eigen onverschilligheid en hun eigen bevooroordeelde gedachten zonder na te denken dingen door naar de diepte. Moderne Cultuur heeft nu geruïneerd veel en veel meer zullen ten prooi vallen aan hun eigen ongeloof bevooroordeeld. Moderne filosofisch denken heeft geen beter mens, maar alleen die waarvan Verlegenheid regels van hun eigen spottend ontevredenheid. Dit is de "geestelijke duisternis" van de moderne tijd.  (Oct 4, 2009 | post #29)

Necessarily, can only the One who began all things in the beginning repair that which is moderating in states of less perfection as when Order-- brought by degrees to less intensity--produce s less Chaos. De penetratie van de collectieve wereldse intellect alleen niet diep genoeg doordringen om seksueel oplossen van de spanningen die inherent zijn aan wat drijft de Aard van de erotische infrastructuur die de zaken van de wereld dwingt om voortdurend matig tussen de twee polen van Liefde en strijd.  (Oct 3, 2009 | post #26)

Letter to the editor: Faust staff should be applauded

What is worn is susceptible to being torn as is the human body. Will you be miserable in your Hatred of Nature? Nothing here is new and remains the same as it has for thousands of years. I am sure the School Children in Ancient Greece and Rome were defying their parents and vice versa as, now, the same can be said by way of the many of the details that do not exclude the varying layers of Human Thoughts concerning Dress and Attire. The Clothing changes... but Human Nature does not. One might well wonder whether one should take off the Clothing of Culture and see what kind of true Body of Reality is hidden beneath the ever changing Layers of Opinions.  (Sep 29, 2009 | post #20)
