To: betty boop

Dear betty, just saw your comment above in the “latest posts” list.

If human experience has no value, then nothing has any value, becuase there is nothing in objective reality that has any meaning apart from how humans can experience said reality; of course there is also the fact that God experiences objective reality; but we cannot know how He experiences reality other than by our own human experience; from our vantage point.

So to say that human experience has no value, is to say that nothing has any value at all, including that opinion that no human experience has any value! So it is a self-defeating piece of nothing.

As though reality only has value if completely apart from, and unknowable by, any human. Wow.

Betty boop seems to have a "knack" for jumping to conclusions. I never stated that human experience has no value. She is simply imputing that's what I said. She throws a wild card and then someone like you comes along and picks up form there and before you know it I have a dozen posters asking me why I think human experience has no value (which I never said).

My advice: go back and read the threads leading to her erroneous conculsion, rather than start with it. :)

Talk about stirring up the pot!
