>So, you have no beliefs then?
Thats pretty much the case. When someone asks me a question, I think about the question, I don't look in a book or the stars for the answer.
Why? Well, since I don't have strong beliefs, being proved wrong is much easier to accept. It also makes me more open minded. For example, I do not believe in god, however, I do not believe there is no god. Big differnce. There really is no evidence either way. So I have no reason to make any judgment.
>What do you believe? If you believe anything then aren't they 'beliefs', which from your sentence above indicates you don't ..ehhhrr.. believe in.. <g>
Lol, but you're twisting words. I didn't say I believed (iow, accepted as truth) that beliefs are bad. I said they are bad. Thats my opinion. I have ideas and opinions, but by no means beliefs. Why the differnce, well, belief means you accept it as completely true. I recall you mentioning earlier that nothing is 100%? Well said.
>Kind of like asserting, "There are no absolutes!", which in and of itself is an absolute statement. <g>
Yep, its also like saying "All generalizations are bad".
>Methinks you're in an intellectual corner here and I'm interested in seeing how you get out of it. I'll bet you make a non-rational leap of faith to some other position..
I'm not in any corner because I don't have to defend my blind faith or baseless beliefs. I'm here to learn, and to teach what I've learned.
