The fact that we have varying tastes in music is an interesting phenomenon.
How does that work, do you think?
Maybe the underlying frequencies vary very little.

The ability to reason was low because of a lack of information....Which in respect of history and events is relative to time, as is everything.....Though time isn't a metric per se, only the observance of events and the calculation of duration therein evolves a metric.
So 950 relative to a different metric, rather than 950 relative to today's standard yearly metric......Approximately 950 lunar cycles perhaps.....Which by todays standard metric would make Noah 73ish......Not bad going for the day, and certainly more reasonable.

Well.....That was the pot calling the kettle black....Do you known that saying?
You should have taken the moral high ground and just ignored me.
Nonetheless, I don't do offended.
And It is actually very easy to create spirituality.....Provide a stimulus and the brain will respond.
And if you occasionally say silly things....Then occasionally you can expect sarcasm.

GODS were a manifestation of a lack of information.....Which historically, might be regarded as a low ability to reason.

Where is the Spiritual Arena?
Is that near the Mystical Stadium?
Just down the road from the Metaphysical Circus?
It's actually very easy to create spirituality....All that you need is an old building, a tall tale and a gullible recipient.

I notice the overuse of the word belief.
It's one of those words that supposedly says a lot, but establishes precisely, very little...... A bit like "love".
I think what you meant to say was, people variously interpret information......And I would wholly agree.

I am a creationist of sorts too.
And Codex Gigas is a name that enthralls.
It wouldn't have the same intrigue if it was known as the average size book.
And, the devil as portrayed, is sadly lacking .....I think that the incontinence garment let's it down a tad.....It's more like your worst grand-parent.

Right and left extremes are one and the same really.
I would suggest that you are like me...A core citizen that desires social stability, rather than extreme chaos.
And every four or five years we are still free to tick a box......Which is a good.

Well...Government is as government does.
And the chaos is a stupid few, inspired by megalomania and ineptitude.....As ever.
And the gun salesmen will be will be laughing all the way to the Bank.
Such is what the U.S. has become.

"Other ways too"....Still vague.
And dreams are generally an abstract response to awake experiences..... So validity may well "seem" to be apparent.

So how do you know that there are other "entities"?
Hearing and Feeling are internally generated sensations...Though we think that they are external....It is only the stimulus that maybe external.
So unless an actual entity, actually spoke to you or touched you.....Your sensations were probably autosuggestion.

There may well be design inherent in the universe...But that doesn't prove the existence of a specific God...All it suggests is that there maybe design inherent in the universe.
And so did you meet a GOD face to face?....And what did it look like?

Another pat on the back for the E man...He'll be getting a complex if you're not careful.

Yep. Sounds like me....60 years of study and observation, and a master of Atheism and Skepticism.
And doctors acquire facts, by studying facts.
And theists acquire speculation by studying speculation.

@Jasmine
I would suggest that wealth and freedom do not necessarily go hand in hand. Wealth has to be sustained and protected.
I would further reiterate my suggestion that affordable contentment, free from social oppression is perhaps the preferable option....And is perhaps more achievable in a capitalist system.
Though achieving contentment is sometimes just as much inner struggle against expectation, as it is a physical struggle to acquire money.

Sadly, your vitriol makes you no better.
And organic matter could rightly be regarded as the scum of the Earth.
And hatred is a powerful emotion.
My political label is best read as moderate, and I am not aligned with any political party.
And Government is currently the alternative to anarchistic chaos.....So someone's got to do it.
As yet, we do not have a hardwired alternative.

It's just groups of people who like to think that they are special.
And freemasonry has long since had anything to do with craftsmanship......It's simply a social club, based on wealth and status.

It's simply a case of what the eye sees the heart grieves over.......Or, what the eye chooses to see.....Selective morality.....Hypocrisy.

Good morning Sir.
Not encumbered by certain conditioned ideologies that defy logic.
The reasons, if any, for function and process are currently unknown, but are continually speculated about.

@ethang5
Well I'm taking the definition of subjective and applying it to the definition of objective, and vice versa...Within the context of function and process.
In terms of function and process, objective output is subjective....Even though content may vary.
Nonetheless, I think that it's fair to suggest that a concept based thread of this sort, typically relies upon assumption rather than fact anyway....Therefore objective is always a subjective assumption....Irrespective of ideology.
And the Moon is curious cheeeeese Grommit.

Trump would unknowingly, like to be a dictator.
But I don't think that he's clever enough to be a fascist.
Anyway....Too many guns in America.
And it's not the puppet, but the string pullers that you need to consider.

@ethang5
I would suggest that:
Objective is a subjective assumption.
And emotion is an internal electro-chemical response to an external stimulus.
And both, either are or are not, relative to a GOD principle......And to be fair your guess is as good as mine.....And we probably do agree in principle....But not quite so much in the detail.

Why do you worship the Bleached Blond Man?
Have you ever really, analysed such a question?
Was Trump a megalomaniac obsessed with wealth and power?
Or was he an Old School Caucasian Hero?
