Asserting Ones Beliefs?

[Theland]

Is it important to you to vehemently assert your beliefs on others in the hope and assumption that what you say is 100% true, and convincingly so in your own mind?
Would you ever entertain the possibility that you could be wrong?

[AuntLydia]

Would you like to answer my question Theland or is ignoring it more comfortable for you......

[nailit]

Theland. Would YOU ever entertain the possibility that YOU could be wrong???

[nailit]

Sorry, cross posted there with AL.

[AuntLydia]

Think we are talking to ourselves nailit. Apparently Theland is having some trouble with the site crashing.....chortle splutter.....

[Theland]

Nailit. I look at evidence.
I don't simply assert, "I don't know," as if that is sufficient.
Do YOU know? There you go!

[nailit]

Oh! Looks like hes back AL after posting about crashing...

[nailit]

Must be a miracle ;-)

[AuntLydia]

Theland would you ever entertain the possibility you are wrong and that your God does not exist?

[Theland]

I have to keep going back to settings to clear web history and cobwebs etc. Laborious!

[Theland]

Water into wine?
Make the blind see?
Make the lame walk?
Make my i pad work?

//Nailit. I look at evidence//
No you don't. You look for things which confirm your already held beliefs (confirmation bias)

//I don't simply assert, "I don't know," as if that is sufficient//
But sometimes it HAS to be sufficient because, well, we don't know.

//Do YOU know? There you go//
Do I know what? What a ridiculous question. Of course I don't know everything. But pretending that ''God did it, didn't he'' is absurd beyond comprehension.

Silence speaks louder than worlds ....lol!

The first 3 no. Never happened never will (at least without the science that you constantly knock)but the 4th is a possibility.
Hold on in there.

[nailit]

And try to answer AL next time around :-)

[THECORBYLOON]

THELAND, do you believe there is life on other planets or do you believe God created life only on Earth?

[naomi24]

I assume you mean religious beliefs in which case I don’t have any so nothing to assert.

[BagPussAA]

No, its not important to assert my beliefs but I will defend my right to have them and to differ from other people if needed
No, I have not entertained the possibility that I am wrong.
