    Reading comprehension fail.

    The judgement part is not about whether they belong to al-Qa'ida, it is whether they present an imminent threat. Apparently your grade 3 education missed that in the memo and it's even mentionned in the summary.

    Because humans are dumb and choose to eat garbage their system wasn't designed for and then choose a posture not conducive to defecating but that makes them feel 'evolved' and 'sophisticated'.

    Maybe because humans were too dumb to understand those things? Do you explain to your 3 year old about trichinosis or do you just tell him not to eat the pork? How do you explain a million years to a 3 year old who can't grasp the concept of a week? Maybe that information was originally given but since it was passed down orally the only things that remained where the things understood, such as do or do not.

    Even today, we have people like you who cannot come up with simple logical answers to your questions.

    Religion doesn't require an interpreter of reality, just like science doesn't require you to do the observations yourself.

    Fencing can be done one sided, football depends on the position. The best are always well rounded.

    Have you ever read "Do dogs know calculus". Fencing is extremely simplified and limited to one plane of direction. Imagine keeping track of not just one opponent but two whole teams in a 3d space, examing wind speed, calculating potential openings, ballistics calculations etc... Just because the players aren't doing the math symbolically but expressing the calculations through their actions doesn't mean they are doing less complex math. Have you ever observed the complex patterns that take place in football? I think football would be way more interesting to geeks if they constantly showed a top down view instead of close ups of people hitting each other. Of course, if they did that, geeks would rule the top coach positions shortly thereafter.

    Do you have any reading comprehension? I merely asked if the person knew the difference between truth and predictive power. Did i say science was useless?

    without - spiritual knowledge, i.e., ignorant of spiritual matters.

    There is no way I can know how much you know without me asking you. Why do you automatically assume I'm calling you an uneducated fool? Humans live in shiny reflective bubbles. Until you purify with kriyas you just see and talk with yourself. Log in eye and all.

    So if you've gone back to the original meanings can we agree upon: mary wasn't a virgin; sin is not evil in and of itself but something with potentially bad consequences; and Jesus was human like everybody else.

    What is your understanding of two of Jesus sayings:The kingdom of heaven is within you;...until you change like little children you will not enter the kingdom of heaven?

    Do you know how much of current science that people believe in is false? In a certain sense, ALL of science is false, and yet people still believe in it deeply. Do you not know the difference between truth and practicality?

    As I mentionned before, spiritual experiences are verifiable. There are protocols to follow that when conducted properly lead to the same experience in differing individuals. I know you keep glossing over this fact, you really seem to want to believe that spirituality isn't verifiable. Tell me, if a 5 year old ignorant of science tells you that gravity isn't verifiable what would you do?
