Tell me, when did you make a conscience decision that you believed your core beliefs?"
And you said my logic was flawed. I pointed out that there was no logical proofs in my statement so it cannot be logically flawed and now you are going back to the beginning of our debate. But the bottom line is there is no logical fallacy in any of my arguments so it is irrelevant.
Now I think your statement about people's beliefs changing due to gathering information and education is interesting and a logical fallacy. It is a straw man. I have never claimed that beliefs cannot change due to information or education. I am arguing that beliefs can't change by will. I think that maxim you speak of is probably dear to your heart. But if you want to continue to argue with me, then simply give me one example of a time where someone changed their beliefs with no other factor than their will. Thank you. | Be very careful.

Do a study on the ancient greek word "agape", which was one of their 4 derivatives/aspects of love. It was/is a VOLITIONAL love and devotion - a DECISION based on will, not on the lovability of the recipient.
Chew on that one for awhile, then get back to me. |
