[quote:MaybeTrollingU:MV8zODYxMTg4XzY5NTE3MzIyXzM2MEY0QTFE] [quote:TheLordsServant:MV8zODYxMTg4XzY5NTE3MjQ5X0Y2NDU1RTI0] [quote:MaybeTrollingU:MV8zODYxMTg4XzY5NTE2OTk5X0Y3MDJBOEVE] Ignorants is the same of ignoring something. For example, I know nothing about car engines, thys I'm ignorant regarding car engines. Ignorance itself makes the term "ignorant" derrogatory when its just a description of one whom doesn't know about something. [/quote] Your lack of candor is questionable. ALL these are considered derogatory synonyms: uneducated, unknowledgeable, untaught, unschooled, untutored, untrained, illiterate, unlettered, unlearned, unread, uninformed, unenlightened, benighted, without knowledge of, unaware of, unconscious of, oblivious to, incognizant of, unfamiliar with, unacquainted with, uninformed about, ill-informed about, unenlightened about, unconversant with, inexperienced in/with, naive about, green about [/quote] None of them would be considered derogatory to an intelectually honest person. People with intelectual honesty, are very aware of their ignorance, illiteracy, uninformed condition(all of the about maybe only excepting "naive about) about many topics. Only those with a self inflated ego would claim that being ignorant is derogatory, this is lack of humbleness. [/quote]
Original Message
Its a thought exercise, an abstraction exercise. If you can, imagine that all you know about your specific religion is a lie. Like all the religions along history that arise, faded and die, think that your religion is also a lie. What would you do?
- If you can't do it and go with the path "It can't be" or "I just can't cope with such an idea", don't bother posting.
- Don't quote the bible, its pointless for the exercise, if you can't do it, you fall under the category above, of people incapable of abstract thinking
