My comment, Scorpio, is my perspective regarding belief systems, and is meant to be reconcilable. As for myself (and you may consider the apparent foolishness) I'm obliged to adhere to the instruction to "believe all things" as stated at 1st Corinthians 13:7 of the Bible.
That sounds crazy doesn't it? It does until you understand that a person's belief system is the reality of that person, bought and paid for at the expense of his/her life experience. It is possible to believe the "reality" of a person by empathizing with them without adopting their belief system. Since a person's belief system is what defines their life, no one has the right to impose their belief system upon another except one's parents who have altered (given) their lives for the child, or, from a Christian view, the Christ of the Bible who gave His life to alter belief system mandated destruction.
When you look at the world around you, have you ever considered if what you see truly represents what's out there? The only logical explanation if your answer is "yes" is that everything answers to a universal design. Just because you don't agree doesn't exclude you from fundamental commonality.
Michzel - While I appreciate your comment, I'm not really sure what you are talking about. If you are trying to sell me on any version of the three Abrahamic religions, please don't waste your time. However, it is clear to me that the universe was created by an intelligent design of some kind. The notion that all of creation is merely a cosmic accident is laughable to me on so many different levels. Also I don't know what you mean by 'fundamental commonality'.
You will never sell me on the idea that the solution to our problems is for us all to put on a uniform and kill other white people as Hitler (and the allies) demanded. Obviously, I don't buy into the idea that Hitler was the 'ultimate evil' or was any worse than the so called 'good guys' in WWII. It is my contention that the whole operation known as WWII (and WWI for that matter) was controlled from above and that both sides were dancing to the tune of very powerful and clandestine forces. As the song says, "I don't care anymore". You are welcome to believe whatever you want and to keep rehashing 70 year old events until the end of time if you so desire.
What I mean by fundamental commonality is that we're all part of one design; possess common beginning and end (birth, death) faculties for perception; i.e., seeing, hearing, smelling, and sense of self, etc. Currently our full potential is suppressed by those you expose on this website. My contention is that the main war on potentiality is slander--the word "devil" is derived from the Greek word "diabolos" (or something like that) from which we get our word diabolic but in Greek means "slanderer." Be patient, the slander meme will fail, I believe, but patience is required for those who have yet to abandon belief systems corrupted by that influence.
