kosta: I am not a contrarian. I see things my way. So does everyone else. It’s not a conspiracy.
Spirited: Give a sophist enough rope and he will hang himself. Your first claim is immediately refuted by your second, which serves as a confession against yourself.
What have you loudly confessed? Why that you suffer from such stiff-necked pride (Pride of Mind) that you take your evil desires as the foundation of your foolish arguments.
Your irrational arguments, though outwardly clothed in “reason,” nevertheless leap across unbridgable chasms, fall into bottomless pits, and roam through peculiar dreamscapes as they relentlessly twist and turn their way back to the autonomous will of Kosta, whose confession against himself says it all: I see things my way.
It is impossible to reason with one incapable of seeing reason due to the fact that his soul is inward-turned where it sees only its’ own darkness.
Pride of Mind is nihilism, for it voraciously consumes everything true, everything real, and everything good in its’ pursuit of “I see things my way.”
Kosta: “I see things my way. And so does everyone else.”
No Kosta, the rest of us are not like you. Because you take yourself as “first principle” you very naturally use yourself as the measure for all others, which is why you erroneously assume that everyone else must assuredly be “just like you.”
For this reason, liars always believe that all other people are liars; “gays” assume that inside every straight man is a “gay,” and the covetous assume that all others are as gluttonous, greedy, and avaricious as “self” is.
This is called transferral of guilt. You have transferred onto these good yet imperfect people your own vices in order that you can then crucify them, a process you call “reasoned argument.”
(Spoken like a truly humble Christian/s)
"It is impossible to reason with one incapable of seeing reason due to the fact that his soul is inward-turned where it sees only its’ own darkness."
(You mean like those who confuse their darkness with divine light?)
"No Kosta, the rest of us are not like you. Because you take yourself as “first principle” you very naturally use yourself as the measure for all others"
(The rest of you are like me in that humans think their thoughts as they see things; you must think you are right and I am wrong. That makes you no different then the rets of us)
"For this reason, liars always believe that all other people are liars; “gays” assume that inside every straight man is a “gay,” and the covetous assume that all others are as gluttonous, greedy, and avaricious as “self” is."
(Oh the "saved" are different I must admit. Their Gnostic delusions tell them they are the (s)elect, better than the rest, who know the truth, who live in the light, etc., etc. Talk about STIFF NECK pride, you don't even seem to notice the log in your own eye! And you talk about darkness in others...gee!)

(Thank you Dr. Freud. We all sin, even if some believe they are "saved" they still sin. I can't believe the degree of hypocrisy that comes out of people who preach morality. But thank you for you thoughtless post. It was amusing)
