I'm pretty open to the fact that my opinion may not be right and I'm always open to creative critisism. No one technically can be right except my HP (higher power) and you even have to take that with a grain of salt since it was written some 2000 years ago.evilbrent said:Is it just me or shouldn't this just be a given?
You all seem to be very hung up on not having your statements taken as anything other than opinion.
Don't you believe in your own opinion?? Don't you sometimes think that your opinion is right??

that's is totally ok as along as while you are explaining your view, you are respectful of the fact that others may not agree. My favorite part of this community is how different we all are...evilbrent said:yes it does.
...unless you meant to say "I always think that my opinion is maybe right."
Look. It's ok. You're allowed to disagree - but you don't have to pretend that someone MIGHT be right when they're clearly not. They're allowed to be wrong, mistaken, or just have a differing viewpoint - but on some matters of opinion, surely, you believe that you're right and that people with the opposing opinion are wrong.
It doesn't mean you have to ram it down people's throat, just that you don't have to accept that a proposition is both wrong and false.
Eg, I believe that there's no god. I believe that when someone says there is a god that they're wrong. A statement like that can't be both true and false.
If YOU believe that there IS a god, then surely you think that I'M wrong?? Not just having a different opinion, but plain wrong.
That's ok isn't it?
not sure where you getting at here but thought I would leave this web site that tells why "some" try to say the bible says pi=3evilbrent said:pi = circumference / diameter... no matter what the bible says (the bible says it's 3)
2 +2 = 4
aside from the fact that the bible is a terrible source of factual evidence, you're aware that an appeal to authority is a logical fallacy right? you should put very little weight on the opinions of experts, and very much weight on the evidence and arguments they present.musicmom said:I believe a wise man speaks because he has something to say and a fool speaks because they HAVE to say something. So I usually consider the source
