Get a story, don't just cackle and whoop over a minor if unnecessary wishy-washiness in my language. You have to trust your mind to understand your world because it's all you have, etc. as explained earlier. It's obviously true, OK? Deal with the truth sometime, just one of you!

As for somebody thinking the aliens are contacting him or Christ is coming into his heart: it's all in his mind. Irrelevant.

Your mind is your perception, your logic, your memories, your personality. Without it, you understand nothing.

You're the one that understands "nothing" ... of lasting importance, anyway.

"...What is missed in all of this is that without a Creator of some kind, not only is there no basis to trust the human mind to make true observations, but there is no reason to suppose that it would matter.

Why worry about science or religion, and certainly why worry about whether they could have a negative effect on each other?

If there is no God, there can only be arbitrary judgments. It is God who gives meaning to what we say and believe. ..."

[It is "absolute objective moral truth" that our Constitution was put into place to guard - not the subjective / arbitrary judgements of sinful mortals who love to usurp the God-given rights of others every chance they get.]

".... For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God. ... the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know [them], because they are spiritually discerned. ...But we have the mind of Christ." ­ 1Cr 2:9-12

"..Now if any man have not the Spirit [Mind] of Christ, he is none of his." - Romans 8:9 and THE PICTURE IS HIDDEN
