BuddieinEK Posted September 16, 2019 Report Share Posted September 16, 2019 Anyone managed to consciously choose to change a belief yet? C'mon, you've had ages to do it. No... But I chose a belief which is what the original point was.Don't you start quoting out of context or spinning to suit your viewpoint... enough of that going on elsewhere!

BuddieinEK Posted September 16, 2019 Report Share Posted September 16, 2019 The "original point" was being unable to choose to believe something, not being unable to choose a "belief" if, by belief, you mean religion.You are now changing things even further.Who mentioned religion?If I choose to believe something then it becomes my belief!It is my current belief that you are at the madame... Baiting and spinning! [emoji41] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C'mon, you've had ages to do it. Aye, I’m a Jedi now. I believe in the balance of the Force, midichlorians, and that George Lucas was the prophet sent from a galaxy far, far away. The Disney side of it is a pile of utter shite though. Definitely not real. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuddieinEK Posted September 16, 2019 Report Share Posted September 16, 2019 I thought that I would give everyone some time to try it. Obviously nobody did. Or maybe they just failed and didn't acknowledge the fact on here.And the wink at the end, if not to signify baiting, was put there for what effect?

BuddieinEK Posted September 16, 2019 Report Share Posted September 16, 2019 There's a few. Who are these bounders?Surely nobody would engage them in conversation?I once saw a guy heckle Roger de Corsie...Nookie bear asked him his name.He answered."How long have you been talking to stuffed toys?" Asked Nookie Bear (although I suspect Roger may have been prompting him!)Game set and match.Mamma says never try and engage someone in intelligent conversation when they are easily distracted by belly button fluff or the dying need to have the last word!

BuddieinEK Posted September 16, 2019 Report Share Posted September 16, 2019 A convincing argument would result in my belief changing, I wouldn't have a choice in the matter.So if he put up a really convincing argument which some believed, and others didn't, how do you explain that?

Can you show where I have done that? --- My position all along has been that you cannot consciously choose to believe something - if you know something, then you cannot consciously choose to believe otherwise, no matter how hard you try or how much you want to. If you have a sheet of white paper in front of you, and you know that it's white (i.e. you're not blind, there is light, etc), then you cannot choose to believe that it is any other colour. You can choose to act as if you believe that it is another colour, but that is not believing. By your own admission you have no evidence to back that assertion. Therefore, you either need to find some evidence or accept that we can't proceed and that your opinion has no more validity than ours.
