Hi,

Doubt is beneficial. Doubt allows growth. Certainty brings tyranny. I think.

Indeed. This is why I am a hairy tick to all sides, coming and going. Or is that Harry Tich? I forget. Anyway, what "fundamental" difference is there between a "certain" theist and a "certain" atheist? From my vantage, little to none.

And at the risk of drawing flack from being taken out of context with my next statement, this is why I find agnostics a bit more, ummm, *sincere* in their scholarship. Leading questions and choosing evidences is not true scholarship. True scholarship is putting aside biases long enough to chase the evidence to its end without steering it in one direction or other.

Re: Are you a heretic?

Hi All:

Seems that we're mostly lapsing and relapsing as it were. Is that what all heretics do ? Attain stasis in perpetual and repetitive states of lapse. Or only liberal heretics ? Could there be such things as socially conservative heretics ? Are they sitting in dark corners somewhere watching Fox TV and chewing their nails right now ?

Inquiring heretical mind want to know !! Yield your thoughts to me...I command you !!! (just kidding)

Re: Are you a heretic?

Heretic/Heterodox is a relative term, and compare similar "politically correct".

Many people today think they are being rebelious yet they are just doing what the system tells them is "rebelious" (anti-nature, anti-God, anti-culture) and is encouraging them to do.
To be a real heretic they should be rebeling against this artificial western" sytem instead of rebeling against tradition/nature/God/culture.

The 2 most imfamous persons of (western) world history are Hitler and Christ.

I have had arguments on other forums/group lists about my use of word "orthodox" to describe the ideas they espouce/defend/support which are same as system's/establisment's.

Orthodox..................................Heretic
egalitarianism............................"racism"
liberal democracy.......................aristocracy
uniformitarianism........................catastrop hism
homosexuality..........................."homophobi a"
feminism..................................
big bang...................................plasma universe/static cosmology
archaeology..............................antiquari anism
convergent evoltn......................parallel evolution
evolution..................................creatio nism
conventional medication..............alternative
isolationism...............................diffusi on/cross-fertilisation
left (artificial)............................right (traditional/conservative)
globalist...................................nation alist
environment/socio......................genetic/biological/"racism"
modernist.................................fundamen talist
reason/logic..............................instinct/intuition/faith
free trade.................................protectionis m
..............................................Tesl a
abstract sci..............................experimental sci
holocaust.................................revision ism/"denial"
specialist/[diversification]............generalist

This table is just a generalisation since on closer study one can find the ruling world system is on either side in diff cases when it suits their own self interests eg: USA is protectionist; sometimes system is environment, other times genetic; they believe races came from one but not languages; they are pro feminist & anti-racist yet in daily (personal/business/publc) practice can be chauvinist/"racist".

It seems to me that Jesus Christ (pbuh) was a heretic... and rightfully so of course.

s.

Negative? I do not think heretic is a negative word... I think it could be used to describe someone with their eyes open... No just having sight but also having feeling.... *nods*

Aye, I R a heretic.. Sue me.
