Who is worse off?

 Is it the man who tells a lie? Or is it the man who believes it?

I consider any attack...

...a chance to make myself stronger, a chance to advance. 

We become what we believe.....

We are going to get whatever much we put our faith in. If someone insults us or offends, I would try not to accept it or I would become an offensive person myself. I mean if I get offended then I got offended. So I am offended which makes me therefore offensive. I try to not let anything like that stick it to me.

No exit

 Atheism doesn't quite know how it got in here, but is convinced there is no way out.

Definition of knowledge....

 Knowledge is information known and not yet known. There is no way to know how much knowledge is yet to be known except to laboriously discover new previously unknown knowledge. A problem arises when we do answer a question only to find in the answer several previously unknown questions. The result of this gaining of knowledge is to repeatedly realize we are more ignorant than we had earlier realized.  

Without all the information of relevant knowledge we are all unable to reach a conclusion whether or not there is a God simply because one would be making a decision without all the knowledge necessary to do so. 

Secondarily, and separately, it is impossible to prove a negative which is to say there is no God. The only avenue left is to plead ignorance. The chilling problem for the agnostic is that he has unknown, as well as seriously limited time available to make a definitive decision.  In my experience anyone leaning toward agnosticism always finds eventually the hammer comes down on atheism. 

We are then subsequently all forced to realize we can only decide using faith. 

From time to time a little Pogoism is required....

 This month Friday the 13th falls on Sunday.

The seen world changes but....

 ...the unseen world does not since the spirit provides the power that directs the change in the seen.  My understanding  is that some physical scientists are wondering why the objects in the outer galaxy rings are not circling in the expected ways. Their understandings are that there is "something" invisible (unseen) effecting this change. Enter the unseen world of dark holes, dark energy, and dark matter.  Later...see Specific Theory of Existence link in side column. 

Definition of intelligence.......

 ...is when one gets the results they predicted. If this is true then what happens if one predicts there is nothing after this life? It may instead be true a person gets whatever they predict if they really believe it. For oblivion to exist the spirit will recognize it as outside existence. This, I predict, is a definition of hell. 

What then about solitary confinement? We already know what that does to anyone.
