95% of Humans are Spiritual

[Dixie - In Memoriam]

I can't believe someone brought this thread back. Obviously someone wanted to see Dixie make a fool of himself yet again.

2/3 soon to follow.

And how have I made a fool of myself? By pointing out that 95% of us are spiritual? I am sorry, but I don't see where I have been made the fool in this thread, I wish you would clarify.

This tends to happen a lot with you people, you bring nothing to the game except baseless accusations and mindless insults, and expect people to take you seriously. You have gotten accustomed to chortling out some stupidity like the above comment, and having your buddies slap you on the back and proclaim you've 'pwned' someone.

2/3 is same as 1/3, it's a division problem, not a number. Of course, some people are just too ignorant to comprehend that, and will argue otherwise.

Read back through the thread Ditzie... I don't intend to rehash all of your idiocy all over again when it is so easy for you to simply read it.

The truth is often funny, Damo!
. I defined my own personal spiritual beliefs to be "atheistic"

so you are an atheist christian? Because again, there were about 20 recent quotes by you pointing to you claiming your christian faith, your belief in god, your christian duty, etc..., which you've never addressed.

 

[FUCK THE POLICE]

1/3 is a number. It may be divided out, but it is also a symbol in itself that represents something. Denying that non-natural numbers are numbers is the height of retardation.

in dixie's world:

1.) most atheists actually believe in god
2. ) Dixie, a self proclaimed christian, is an atheist.

1/3

I know you don't intend to rehash it, because you'd get your ass handed to you again, which is precisely why you threw a baseless ad homenim attack out there instead. At least this way, there is the slim possibility your butt munch friends may not take the time to read the thread, and will assume you've justly put me in my place. I understand completely, it's the only shot you've got at diminishing what I posted. Too bad you can't go back and edit my posts to reflect whatever 'idiocy' you claim exists.

=.333e!

so you are an atheist christian? Because again, there were about 20 recent quotes by you pointing to you claiming your christian faith, your belief in god, your christian duty, etc..., which you've never addressed.

I am a spiritualist, and have been for many years. My family is mostly Christian, and I was raised in a Christian environment. Due to this background and understanding of the religion, I have sometimes argued Christian perspective with other Christians. My personal spiritual beliefs are really closely related to the beliefs of Jesus Christ, as articulated through his teachings. What Jesus believed to be God, is similar to what I believe, but I do not subscribe to the Christian religion as a whole, only the simple refined beliefs of Jesus Christ. I think the Christian faith is imperfect, and has its flaws, but as a religion, is probably more close to a true human understanding of spirituality than any other religion I am familiar with.

I don't address people I ignore. The "quotes" you are referring to, have not been substantiated, can not be confirmed, no links are provided, it's just what the poster posted, and claimed was my quotes. I have no idea if I said it or not, and if I did say it, I have no reference of context in which I said it. You are entitled to believe whatever you wish, if you want to believe I am a Christian, that's fine... it's what you think. I don't need to prove anything to you or anyone else, I already know what I believe and have no reason to lie or deny it. I believe something greater than man 'exists' in so much as a spiritual entity can 'exist.' There is a spiritual energy coursing through our universe, which touches each and every human being, and (I believe) makes us all human. If it weren't for this, we would still be swinging in trees in the jungle.

.333e=1/3

They are just different ways of representing the same value dixie. A fraction is a real number just as much as a decimal is. It can be reduced by a division operation to a more convenient value, but it is not necessary to do so, and retarded to do so when said division results in something like .3333e.

 

[Dixie - In Memoriam]

3) If you are agnostic it really means you can't make up your mind or don't 'know what you believe'

Basically, yes... that's what it means. You don't know what you believe, but you aren't willing to say you believe in nothing, or something.

4) If you believe in Science that means it is your spiritual belief or some such nonsense.

Again, correct in some cases. I believe in science, and most spiritual believers do believe in science. Your assertion sounds as though you doubt this, but you can't really provide evidence to support that assertion. It is borne of bigotry and ignorance.

Some people replace spiritual faith with faith in science. They falsely believe that science will provide all answers to all questions, even though we know this to be impossible. Science never definitively answers any question, because science doesn't conclude things, man does. These conclusions are often made with full faith in science and nothing more. Whether a person worships a religious deity or science, it's still a form of worship, isn't it?

Yet the dumbest one in of all of Ditzies world

5) Ditzie thinks he is not only intelligent, but also right

I am right about 96% of the time. That is better than the average here. I know that I am more intelligent than most of the posters here, including you. One indicator is the fact that you continue to want to call my intellect into question without addressing my points. If you were really more intelligent, you could engage me in debate, but you aren't so you don't. Instead, you parade around boasting of how smart you are and how dumb I am... because that is at least giving you a chance to get a little praise from your pinhead jerk friends and make you feel better about your ignorant self.

Yeah, he'll never admit that a fraction is a representation of a real number to him it is solely a "division problem"... I've already tried this, and explained it. Even my third grade (middle) daughter would be able to explain it, but according to Dixie, the only way you can express a number is decimally in base 10...

 

[BRUTALITOPS]

They are confirmed.

[ame="http://www.justplainpolitics.com/showthread.php?t=22301"]Is Dixie a Christian or a rogue spiritualist? - Just Plain Politics![/ame]

If you click the arrows next to your name in quotes, it will take you directly to the thread in which you said it, as well as the context. It is confirmed, you made reference to things such as:

"I made an observation, based on what I know as a Christian myself."
"my Christian faith."
"that is my duty as a Christian."
"my responsibility as a Christian,"

It is well documented you have called yourself a christian, and referred yourself as a christian, many many times in this site. It is irrefutable and undeniable evidence.

Now that we have that out of the way, I will say it was 3 years ago, though you have made no mention of your shifting beliefs. Why is that? Because claiming to be spiritual is more convenient for your argument? Why can't you just be honest and call yourself a christian? Or at the very least admit that you have changed your mind?

The other day, some pinhead challenged me when I said this... Dixie, where do u get this 95% bullcrap? I never responded, but I wanted to take this opportunity to thoroughly explain it. Really, it's quite a conservative estimate, when you think about it.

The only people who practice absolutely no form of spiritual belief, are nihilists. Nihilists make up less than 5% of the world population, and that is being generous. We don't really know how many nihilists are being honest about their innermost personal beliefs regarding faith, we have to take their word for it.

Many people are uncertain about what they believe, and so they adopt the "safe" viewpoint of claiming they don't believe in anything. To them, life is a never-ending journey to search for what they do believe, and to others, it is more comfortable for them to live in a state of denial, and refuse to acknowledge what they believe.

95% of all human beings believe in something greater than self, some greater power than man, something of a spiritual nature. It does indeed take many different forms, and it doesn't always result in positiveness, but this is a substantial fact of human nature we should learn to acknowledge. By and large, we are spiritual creatures.

My reply to your initial ignorance will follow...

 

[Cancel 2016.2]

Yes, I questioned your 95% number. The reason is you made the claim yet provided no evidence to back up the number. Hence, I asked for your evidence. Because surely you wouldn't just pull a number out of your ass.... surely you have the data to support your number....

As for your second to last paragraph...

"Many people are uncertain about what they believe, and so they adopt the "safe" viewpoint of claiming they don't believe in anything. To them, life is a never-ending journey to search for what they do believe, and to others, it is more comfortable for them to live in a state of denial, and refuse to acknowledge what they believe"

What a crock of shit... you pretend that they are somehow in a state of denial? Based on WHAT evidence? is it simply because they do not believe as you do and that gets your panties in a bunch?

As I stated, I am agnostic. Not because I want to 'play it safe', nor because I am in 'denial about what I really believe'. I am agnostic because I can neither prove nor disprove the existence of an all powerful being. Thus, I choose not to believe one way or the other based on FAITH. I would imagine others feel the same way.... despite your pathetic attempts to belittle them.

as promised...

Basically, yes... that's what it means. You don't know what you believe, but you aren't willing to say you believe in nothing, or something.

Again, you are a fucking moron and have proven as such. You clearly have no comprehension what it means to be agnostic.

Again, correct in some cases. I believe in science, and most spiritual believers do believe in science. Your assertion sounds as though you doubt this, but you can't really provide evidence to support that assertion. It is borne of bigotry and ignorance.

Whether a person worships a religious deity or science, it's still a form of worship, isn't it?

No moron... I did not state that people who are spiritual don't believe in science. I stated that science is not a SPIRITUAL belief as you proclaimed. I never stated, nor implied that Science will eventually answer all things. That is simply your moronic attempt at a strawman. I do not 'worship' science. That too is simply ignorance on your part.

I am right about 96% of the time. That is better than the average here. I know that I am more intelligent than most of the posters here, including you.

ROFLMAO... no dear ditzie, you are not. You simply BELIEVE you are intelligent and you consistently refuse to listen to any evidence provided that might shatter the bubble of the fantasy world you have created.

The very fact that you pretend your points were not addressed is proof of this. You simply ignore it every time someone refutes your idiocy. Then you pretend they didn't answer you.

Again, you are a fucking moron and have proven as such. You clearly have no comprehension what it means to be agnostic.

I think I stated it very precisely. I don't give a goddamn if YOU don't agree with it! To me, that just isn't criteria for whether something is true or false... sorry!

No moron... I did not state that people who are spiritual don't believe in science. I stated that science is not a SPIRITUAL belief as you proclaimed. I never stated, nor implied that Science will eventually answer all things. That is simply your moronic attempt at a strawman. I do not 'worship' science. That too is simply ignorance on your part.

No, you implied that people who are spiritual deny science, and that is untrue. You also imply that people who believe in science are not being spiritual, and that is also nonsense. One has nothing to do with the other, and ANY attempt to make this kind of distinction is baseless and without merit. I simply called you on your stupidity. I also never singled YOU out personally, I have no way of knowing what YOU personally believe, and I never made such a claim. Go back and read my words again, moron, you got it all wrong. Some people certainly DO worship science, believing that science provides sufficient explanation for everything, and if it doesn't, it one day will. That is FAITH... the same kind of FAITH that prompts a person to believe in heaven and hell, or the rapture, or anything else religious in nature.

ROFLMAO... no dear ditzie, you are not. You simply BELIEVE you are intelligent and you consistently refuse to listen to any evidence provided that might shatter the bubble of the fantasy world you have created.

The very fact that you pretend your points were not addressed is proof of this. You simply ignore it every time someone refutes your idiocy. Then you pretend they didn't answer you.

Again, for those of you paying attention, this is what Superfreak and others like him do, when cornered in a debate and unable to articulate a well-reasoned counter argument, they resort to tearing down their competition, belittling them, criticizing their intelligence, citing examples of how others support their baseless assertions. This suffices in place of actually engaging me in the subject at hand, where they KNOW they will get faced resoundingly. It's a choice they make... either have their ass handed to them on a platter, or pretend I am stupid and hope a few more pinheads chime in to agree before anyone notices they didn't debate me or address the issue. I don't blame them, I would probably do this too if I had nothing to bring to the debate.... nah, on second thought, I think I would just keep my mouth shut.

I love the Buddhist philosopy. It's very inspiring.

Yes, it is. For example "Do not accept anything by mere tradition ... Do not accept anything just because it accords with your scriptures ... Do not accept anything merely because it agrees with your pre-conceived notions ... But when you know for yourselves – these things are moral, these things are blameless, these things are praised by the wise, these things, when performed and undertaken, conduce to well-being and happiness- then do you live acting accordingly."

Sort of a roundabout way of saying, "If it feels good, do it!"
