There is a practical aspect though as thoughts do lead to deeds. As a rule we typically don’t do things without thinking about it first.No. One of us thinks that the other believes she is going to be punished for bad thoughts. You missed by miles. Anyone who thinks he can read the thoughts of another over the internet has much bigger problems than if he were to believe in invisible men populating the sky.Yes, one of us thinks there is an invisible man in the sky who is going to punish her for thinking bad thoughts.
You are being disingenous again... the whole "Bad thoughts' is a major part of Catholic Doctrine. The whole "Sinning in your heart" bit, get yourself off to confession to tell Fr. McCreepy your deepest thoughts.
It's all part of the mind control...
Coveting your neighbor's livestock is a thought, not an action. Are you just kind of vomiting out the first thoughts that fizzle into your head to prolong the argument?Sin is an action.
Once again, moving on. When you rise to the level of understanding philosophy, perhaps we can have a true discussion. I'm not interested in beginning at the Disney level.No it doesn't. In fact, the opposite. It indicates an understanding of logic and empiricism, and the ability to differentiate between specious, magical beliefs and evidence based determinations. Your magical beliefs cloud your mind...you really, really think they are "special", and that is the sole source of your objection to the word "magical".
I have been engaged for a long time at a very close look at theology. That is why I could not recognize what you posted. It sounds like it comes from someone who has picked up a lot of biased hearsay. You know, kind of like how King James makes it sound like Isaiah is speaking of Jesus when actuality Isaiah was using the suffering servant as a metaphor for Israel and its people.May I suggest you have a closer look at the core of your twisted theology?
Good point, as well as coveting your neighbor's spouse. However, many other thoughts and day dreams never make the list.Coveting your neighbor's livestock is a thought, not an action
Most of my faith say they vote Democrat. Sorry the Democrat vote is making your life such a misery. I recommend reading more of the Bronze Age culture. A lot of wisdom there, perhaps because they were never in the rush we are in today.
You should have paid better attention in religion class. Sin is an action. We watch our thoughts so that they do not lead to sinful actions. Confession is actual sins, ending with the assurance they are forgiven.
Here it is.May I suggest you have a closer look at the core of your twisted theology?Which religion is this? It is distorted to the point that it is unrecognizable.But hey, what do you expect from anyone raised from an early age to worship a God who tortures his own son who stangley is invariably pictured almost naked on the cross? Suffer little children to come unto me?
When you rise to the level of understanding philosophy, perhaps we can have a true discussion.
Have you studied Jewish history?Are you kidding me? One of my great fantasies is to lock bible nuts in a place with bible technology and bible law, including the barbaric punishments. It was an awful time to live.. which is why they were generally such awful people.
There is a practical aspect though as thoughts do lead to deeds. As a rule we typically don’t do things without thinking about it first.
For instance you think about your perception of the Catholic faith because every single perception you have is negative. So you have consciously decided to see it in the worst possible light.
I mean anything that cannot rise to the level of philosophy isn't worth my time because your "argument" isn't even challenging enough to be worthy of the name. When I have to start by explaining the difference between "magic" and "philosophy" I pass. Once you graduate into philosophical discussions you may invoke an interest. Right now I'm just not interested in starting with magic, invisible men, etc.You mean, you are such a bad philosopher that you tuck tail and retreat at the first sight of an argument that seems the least bit challenging.
Joey, you are proving my point. Every single perception you have is negative. So you have consciously decided to see it in the worst possible light. Thought followed by deed.There is a practical aspect though as thoughts do lead to deeds. As a rule we typically don’t do things without thinking about it first.

Nothing is all bad or all good, Joey.

You didn't even try. And your hints show you have no idea what you are talking about, anyway. Philosophy is a method. A belief is an assertion. There, now you know the difference, and you're welcome.When I have to start by explaining the difference between "magic" and "philosophy"
I appreciate the insight into your ideas.And faith is nothing but magical belief.
Well, own it! Are you embarrassed by it?I appreciate the insight into your ideas.And faith is nothing but magical belief.
Faith is not a belief in magic. Until you move beyond this belief in magic, I do not see room or reason for discussion.Well, own it! Are you embarrassed by it?
Okay, no, I suppose it isn't, always. But yours most certainly is.Faith is not a belief in magic.
Again, this is why we have nothing to talk about. I have no belief in magic, and magic is all you wish to discuss.Okay, no, I suppose it isn't, always. But yours most certainly is.
