Kafei Posted September 12, 2018 Author Share Posted September 12, 2018 7 minutes ago, Strange said: But you have nothing new to contribute to discussion. You simply repeat the same thing again and again. Sometimes just copying and pasting it. This is not a discussion, it is soapboxing (another rule violation). I'm simply reiterating precisely what has been demonstrated by the science that's been done. That's all. If it sounds like repetition to you, it's because I have to keep clarifying the same points over and over for people who can't seem to comprehend them, like yourself.

They are not controlling it. They allowed you to present it. The criticisms came from the members, not the mods. They shut you down because of your propensity to break or subvert the rules. Too bad too, because it actually is a topic for discussion in a scientific manner. My first post in response to it was to let it stand because you initially appeared to actually take science seriously, but I was wrong. You're proven yourself a crackpot, after all.

I personally requested a dozen times to link me to the exact piece claiming that this was evidence of god...It never happened, just the usual conspiracy, obtuseness, and claims of legitimate conclusive science. No conclusion was reached other then in the mind of the instigator of this nonsense, and driven by his incredible bias. Again my only criticism of the mods is excess leaning over backwards to give him a chance. Again, as Strange pointed out, it's not expressed so crassly. Your issue is that you think that the research title is going to read "Science proves God," but what you don't realize is God is not the only name for the divine, and so it's expressed in a more sophisticated fashion within the science that's been done of which you cannot seem to comprehend, and that is the divine is demonstrated via the Perennial philosophy. Quote As this thread suggests, he owns all the bias, and is attempting to now control through devious means his own content, on something that was previously locked and settled. Again, I'm not saying anything other than what's been demonstrated by this research. 4 minutes ago, rangerx said: They are not controlling it. They allowed you to present it.

I could call you a crack pot, too, but in order to confirm it, I should have evidence for my claim, of which you do not.

Quote Science proves nothing as I have often told others that seek to push their religious convictions on this forum. That is the beauty of science and the scientific methodology, rather then the "stick in the mud"attitude of god botherers. You still don't get it. I'm not a Christian or a Muslim or Catholic. I have no issue referring to myself as a Perennialist, because that was the conclusion of the research. Perennialism is not a religion, by the way. Perhaps instead of focusing on ad hominem attacks, maybe you should actually pay attention to the science of which I've referenced. Quote The research was based on a philosophy with personal opinions. Mystical experiences, drug taking and philosophical jargon, are not evidence for any god of any persausion. Again, this is your misconception. Perennial philosophy is also referred to as the Perennial wisdom or Perennialism, it's not necessarily a philosophy, per se, as you keep assuming. It's rather a perspective on the major religions which is congruent with our modern science. 7 minutes ago, Silvestru said: Can you just drop it Kafei?

You know what, since you’re not the average proponent of god on this site and you can at least express yourself in a civil manner with more than 42 words in your vocabulary I’ll be frank; Being convinced that getting high puts your mind into a state which enables you to link with the devine in some way is not only ridiculous on every level, its also evidence for being full of yourself. How dare you imply (Jordan Peterson does that too) that your tiny little evolved mind has some kind of special place in this universe? I suggest you use your time here (on this planet and on this forum) on finding out more about what is actually happening around you instead of focusing on the crap that your brain’s altered chemistry feeds you while on psychodelic drugs.

I defined all this elaborately in the thread that was closed. That's why I've complained that this legitimate science shouldn't be censored. Now, I have to go through the tedious process of explaining it all over, and I have explained it. What you interpret as repetition, I'd say is simply a failure of your comprehension, and so you construe it in such a way. And it's not as though I am obligated to school everyone on the science that's been done. The peer-reviewed studies are public for anyone to view for themselves, these lectures I've posted for the convenience of everyone here precisely describe what I'd only reiterate in the forum.
