@igm,
But you seem confused about that word. You said, "therein lies the problem."
What's the problem?

joe created a problem or showed that there was one and I agreed that it was a problem or at least it appeared to be a problem that joe was pointing out to me... only he knows whether it was or not.

@igm,
He didn't create any problem, you did.

This is what transpired in the previous post between you and joe.

joe said,
Quote:
Are you using "friendship" to mean what I mean when I use the word "friendship," or are you using it to mean what you mean when you use that word? If it's the former, how do you know you're using "friendship" the same way I'm using it? And if it's the latter, how can I know what you mean when you use the word "friendship?"


You said,
Quote:
Therein lies the problem.


joe asked you a question which you answered with "therein lies the problem."

That's not an answer to his question.

Remember I don't 'believe' in problems... so we are all problem free... or are we?

@igm,
Your life is problem free; how nice! You're an idiot. Since you don't believe in death.....

Since you don't believe there are any dangers in life, why don't you go for a long walk on a short pier. No beliefs needed.

@cicerone imposter,
He may of been demonstrating and summarizing the argument/discussion we just had... who knows? I replied with a reply suitable for that post... also joe is probably familiar in his day job with the first word 'Therein'... so a kind of acknowledgment and witticism on my part... good or bad that's what it was.

@cicerone imposter,
Not everything is a belief.. you seem to think that everything is... and therefore you can disparage me because of it... ok.. feel free... if it makes you feel better... but not 'everything' is a belief... there are alternatives.

@joefromchicago,
If we're both asserting that we have no problems in this regard then the use of the word 'we' is appropropriate... is that a problem?

@igm,
Your belief that

was an idea created in your own brain without any help from me. That means you have a "belief" of something.

You keep contradicting yourself. Must be fun to play games in your own brain.
Keep denying; it only makes you look foolish from your own contradictions.

@cicerone imposter,
"It seems to me that you suffer from either poor reading comprehension or poor reasoning skills." "You suffer from either poor reading comprehension or poor reasoning skills." These are not equivalent statements for those who have good reading comprehension skills and good reasoning skills. Laughing

@FBM,
Speak for yourself. My English comprehension is okay, and I don't need lessons from anybody who doesn't believe they have any beliefs.

You believe your English grammar is okay? LOL

Sure. And emotions too deserve a rehabilitation among rationalists. Reason is good to sort out options and generate ideas, but emotions make us act on them.

@cicerone imposter,
Are you the one that said because I quoted/referenced a scientific source, that means I believe in what that source said? Or am I getting you mixed up with that Ollie?

@Olivier5,
Those who keep telling us they don't have belief will never admit it. Mr. Green

@cicerone imposter,
I find it really funny now, because you guys without belief must now tell us you don't have emotion.

@cicerone imposter,
Q: A or B?

A: No.

You're either too dense or too dishonest to waste time with. You and Ollie can play with each other on my ignore list. Good by and good luck.

If I'm nothing but an appearance, then there's no "we" to speak of.
