You may think that you are saying something deep and profound and interesting, but I do not share that position.
That’s not what I said, but if you wish to believe that, I’ll try to be respectful.
No problem. So can you produce a picture of life?
Find a picture of wind.
Let me be more blunt (pre-pun intended.) You can say the same about anything. You can take a picture of snow but not of “snow.” You can take a picture of food but not of “food.” You can take a picture of a planet but not of “planet.” You can take a picture of a computer but not of “computer.” I get what you are trying to say, I just think that what you are trying to say is really, really, really, really stupid. It is something that should only seem deep to a stoned teenager.
If you want to drop in ideas like “death” is a conception, don’t be surprised if others use that idea against your argument. “Try to be respectful” is all very well and good, but it isn’t exactly a response to what was said, is it? If you want to claim that “Life” and “God” are somehow closely related because they are both concepts, then bringing up the fact that “death” is also a concept is your mistake, not mine.
Can you produce a picture of death?
“Life” is “Death”!
Exactly.
Fair enough. But perhaps life and death are more closely related than we think. For animals, the difference between these two states is demonstrated by, among other things, breathing. The body is the same in both states, but in one state, the body is breathing while in the other it is not. Oddly enough, the word “spirit” is derived from the word for breath.
Because two nouns are abstract nouns, like Love and Hate, does not make them the same. Same with Life and Death.
Same with Life and God. That’s the point.
False choice. Wait… now you’re attempting to be discerning?
Ironic, given your propensity to conflate unrelated concepts.
Fair enough. Perhaps they are not the same, but I can sure see some similarities. Or perhaps I should say sense some similarities, since I cannot “see” either one.
Ow! Some of the debris from that irony meter cut me!
You’re always good for a chuckle, Darren.
And no matter how many similarities there are between cats and dogs(they both have an average of four legs apiece, they both have heads and tails, they both have eat food etc) There are still differences between the two that cause people to use the term “Cat” when referring to cats and “Dog” when referring to dogs. The same with “God” and “Life”-you might find similarities between the two, but the only way to make the claim that one IS the other is to deliberately ignore the differences between them.
I’m so glad we had this time together.
So… same time next week?
Topic: Salt v. Pepper
Always together. Both in nearly identical containers. What is the deal?!?
Though you might be hard-pressed to find a picture of Life, as opposed to “things that are alive,” there is no shortage of pictures of God. And every single one of them, drawn by a human, seems to appear humanoid somehow. Can’t imagine why that might be.
When I was a kid, I used to think if you put too much pepper on your food, putting an equal amount of salt would make it better again.
We got it-You Can’t Take A Picture Of A Concept.
Next point, please?
