TrevC

[Freddy58]

A discussion on religion went fine for pages, untill hi-fi got mentioned.

Ahh, so you'll agree that turntables constitute HiFi *smile*

Only if you agree that windup gramophones are hifi too.

I don't have to agree with anything, it was your quote.

Shame threads like this cannot be locked to digitally entomb those who have posted in them, condemning those trapped inside to an eternity of bickering. A bit like Tron only even more pointless.

pointless bickering? Can't say I noticed..i still think it's a cool thread..mr Vlad has been voluminous in his utterances..im learning things I didn't know before..you may think this is pointless but that's just your opinion...i disagree!

In the context of a Hifi forum this thread is entirely pointless.

What's really sad is that it's one of a very few that attracts people to post......

this thread has universal themes..its greater than the sum of it's parts..its organic.growing out tendrils to who knows where? God..aliens..philosophy! Weaving hifi into a endless tapestry of wonder! It's a awesome thread...a golden thread if you will? Bestowing upon us new knowledge! A golden shower!!!

A golden shower just about covers it.

You wouldn't find a "Naim vs Cyrus" thread on my favourite "meaning of life, the universe and everything" forum, so why this utter bollocks is being posted here is completely beyond me. People log on to here to learn about Hifi, not to read tinpot, half baked philosophy written by people not even remotely qualified to peddle it.

You know there is an "Off-topic and Miscellaneous" section of this website? ****** off there to have your ill informed debate.

How does a well informed debate about TrevC look like?

 

[keeper of the quays]

One persons utter bollocks is another's pearls of wisdom? As I said before..the rich seam of hifi meanders through these turbulent currents..its a win win..hifi knowledge with a greater truth! I'm sad that your tone has a unctuous sound..perhaps a optical out may be beneficial?

Religion is a set of morals and beliefs. I think faith and religion is in its core positive, brings love and good energy helping in our existance, connects us to noumenon beyond our sensoric capabilities. This can be easily demonstrated even through mechanicistic methods (hormones, body language, implied meanings in communication etc.). As anything when touched by politics it becomes corrupt, vile and evil (deffinition of evil is lack of empathy). When one being decides to harm another being for its own benefits and beliefs, it lacks empathy, therefore is evil. The completely oposite is giving own sacrifice for the benefit of other beings, which is the ultimate good, highest empathy towards humanity and all living things. The symbolic form of this is Jesus. An idea, a man, a message, whatever. Jesus is religion teaching coexistance among us, therefore is something positive about religion. Vatican bank financing corrupt and greedy child diddling old men, not so much.

When religion loses its moral component is way worse than just having outdated beliefs from the bronze age. Knowledge can be outdated, but morals are essentially the same. Value life, love fellow man, be good and forgive others.

Can you be a good person without practicing religion? Yes. A good atheist believes he/she shouldn't harm other humans because it is a social contract (Rousseau). You treat me good, I treat you good. A Christian religious person believes he/she should do good in order to go to heaven. The result is the same. Should we riddicule the person thinking there is litteral heaven beyond death? Well that would be lack of empathy, mean, therefore evil. You are being a bad atheist if you riddicule religious people, which is worse than being good and believing in nonsense.?

 

Its the greedy religions/evil priests etc explioting people yes

I would say religion has the market cornered on tinpot half baked philosophy.
“Gods are fragile things, they may be killed by a whiff of science or a dose of common sense. They thrive on servility and shrink before independence. They feed upon worship as kings do upon flattery. That is why the cry of gods at all times is “Worship us or we perish.” A dethroned monarch may retain some of his human dignity while driving a taxi for a living. But a god without his thunderbolt is a poor object.”

I don't disagree with any of that. It just doesn't belong in the Hifi section of this forum.

at the risk if repeating myself, my beef was with the comments that this subject has no place on this forum..now it seems it's no place on the hifi section? I agree..off topic it is..but it started with hifi...went off track..still interesting nonetheless.

I think the title heading of this thread made it a pretty light hearted and a free for all from the get go. Shouldn't be in the HiFi section, but a lot of threads at the moment shouldn't be either. Nothing we can't sort out amongst ourselves.

Thanks to all who spend their time on this thread!

I just want to ask trevc if he's sitting right now who made his chair?

Obviously someone made it for him. So who made all this things like the sun is perfectly for the daytime and the night for us to rest.

I have no idea who made my chair. Am I to assume it must have been Silvanus, the Roman god of the woods?

There was a bible verse where it states the earth is round before science!
