I prefer to attack the sources of boredom rather than ignore them..

Is nihilism interesting?

Yes, in that it has the savor of reality.

So which do you find interesting: the map (nihilism) or the territory it plots out (reality)?I assume it must be the map, for the territory so plotted seems only to offer boredom.And more on topic: does your attraction to Christ (in so far as you are attracted to him) lie in a reading that sees him as non PC, anti-establishment, counter-culture, revolutionary

Parts of reality are very interesting. I find many of Christ's sayings attractive in a literary sense. His "anti-establishment" side doesn't interest me.

So why does it bother you so much if you aren't a Christian? Surely it is no big deal if it doesn't affect your life?I mean, I am an atheist and I couldnt care less how people choose to define their faith. However, I do get a chuckle at the Christians fighting amongst themselves about who is a Christian and who isn't, it just confirms that I made the correct decision to walk away from this joke of a religion. But, if you aren't a Christian, how do you know this is a PC version of Christianity isn't the true version?Brian.

Its sentimentality irritates me. The next thing you know they will be turning Ecclesiastes into a diatribe against public apathy. It's a cultural plague. I'm not sure what you mean by "true version," but you are the one who convincingly argued some time ago that Jar's religion cannot be called "Christianity." I'm just agreeing with you.

You do know that if any (general) version is true this means that you have fallen for the very simplest sleights of hand. The spirtitual equivilent of the "three cups and a pea" trick? You would have been one of satans easier lays..."Here lieth Brian. He went without a whimper"

Indeed Iano... You may very well have picked the wrong one too.

Brian says this, but I have my doubts. I think he might be a Christian. Why else would he study the history of Christianity and why else would he argue with Jar about whether or not Jar's religion could be labelled Christianity?

Literary sense! Literary sense!!I give up....

Afraid that's not possible Crevo. God can prove he is not satan (by just being God as it happens). If he couldn't manage that then he wouldn't be God - now would he?

well I've only got your word for that haven't I?Paul daniels can 'Prove' that he is 'magic' can he not?Edited by Creavolution, : No reason given.Edited by Creavolution, : spelling

Well, from a moral standpoint, these generalized abstract rules such as "Love your neighbor as you love yourself" don't make much sense to me. For one, I don't think it's possible and two, I'm not even sure it's desirable. It doesn't seem to apply to real life as I know it.
