Why are you so sure you are right? I was raised christian, so I have been on both sides of the fence. I for one find it much easier to believe that evoluion is law rather than believing that a man crammed every animal on the planet into a single boat, or that a man lived in a whale/great fish for any period of time. I can keep going with these far-fetched c ...[text shortened]... t. You will continue to think everyone else is ignorant unless they believe what you believe
Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life. However, that is what I have
come to believe. If I am wrong, then I am no worse off than if I believed
the way you do. I am happy believing as I do and I suppose you are
happy that you are not gullible enough to believe in God and all those
fairy tales in the Holy Bible.

Knowledge of Godhead is given in great detail in the Veda and without this knowledge it is imposable to achieve the goal of love of God and return home.

Transcendental knowledge is like a boat that carries the person over the ocean of ignorance.
Without transcendental knowledge you cannot raise the consciousness to the platform of love of God.

Just remember we are all God's creatures and He has a plan that
will work out in the end. So hang in there.
If the God you subscribe to does exist, he is at best indifferent with regard to us and at worse, a sadist. His plan is frankly pretty rubbish.

You and many others are redefining evolution to just mean adaptation
because you know proof of animals evolving into different kinds of
animals from one common ancestor is not there. If evolution was just
adaptation I would believe in it because God made animals with the
ability to adapt to their environments for survival purposes.
I see you avoided my question earlier in the thread asking how it is possible to indoctrinate oneself. Could you possible elucidate on that point further Ron?

It doesn't require faith either way. My beliefs are based off FACTS. I am glad you are happy with your beliefs though, you should be. To each thier own etc
some of facts on both sides. The so-called facts of how everything began
requires faith, because neither one of us was there to witness it.

Originally posted by Proper KnobReally it was the men that wrote those books that indoctinated you; but
What?! That doesn't make any sense and doesn't answer my question.
How can i indoctrinate myself?!
you played right into their hands by reading the books with the belief they
were telling you the truth. Then when you talked with other people, who
had also read the books as you did, they also argeed and your indoctination
was enforced by your peers. Then anyone that has a different opinion from
your peer group must be kooks and are obviously wrong because you know
the facts.
