Dear Hank, I do apologize if I have offended you in any way.

Good grief. If those who go out of their way to offend cannot, certainly nothing you said, which I know would never be inteded to that end, is going to offend me.

But, if you are sincere, you might answer one question. What is consciousness?

(For example, you have suggested that consciousness might be attributed to the entire universe or reality. I am interested if you mean the same thing by the word consciousness as I mean when I say, "when I am asleep, I am not conscious, when I awake again, I am.")

Hank

Hold that thought, Hank. I'll need time to do justice to that topic. But I'll ping you when the time comes.

Hi there. If in any way you're referring to me, I'm not sure what to apologize for, but if there is something, you have it. I tend to be willing address in a higher degree of scrutiny with skepticism, the behavior and persona of those who would be offensive toward God and those who believe Him at his Word, i.e., intentional blasphemers. I am certainly willing to be offensive toward you, some definitions of the word. (But I don't hold anything against you.)

Now, who does pay you to write, if you are a person who writes and are paid for it?

bb, Capt. Kierkegaard was known for beating on people, around the bush, while trying not to explain himself, wasn't he? Maybe that is where this poster has picked up the tactics.
