Mental Grace

 Intent of persuauion (vs) of perception

The mental acuity of graceful thinking.

"I love dealing with people like you, but only if you believe in god."

People that have no true sense of self regard are next to those with little empathy.  People of no self regard are the real fakers in life. MA2025

Now consider the following on philosophical grounds... unless you think you are capable.  Then, don't bother reading nor interpreting.

How does this justify the belief in gods name.  no logic. > @Bible_Time: Be strong & courageous. Do not be terrified or discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go. -Josh 1:9

(HERE IS A DISCUSSION: I had on this subject verbatim over facebook as is...) 12 years ago between 'Lib' my interlocutor and myself.

Lib: Not sure if you are well versed in Christian Dogma, but if you need any explanations, talk to me tomorrow.

Marco: I am simply saying if the opposite were true, as in, you or I  were being told: Your belief in god, means only bad things will happen to you. = no logic.  Same thing applies: in saying if you do answer to gods name, then only good things will happen to you. = zero logic.  God does not depend on my existence, especially the belief in that.  If you find my interpretation a misunderstanding, I argue it actually propels the message in the dogma as an ascertainable truth.  I am strong & courageous, I am not terrified or discouraged, these are things that reflect in gods image.  My belief is in one thing and one thing only, that is, if I believe in god it is because YOU exist.

My entire belief system predicates on the fact I believe that god is in YOU - but YOU would never know I think or feel that way.  It is my sacred right to defend that honor toward gods image.  If you make me believe god does not exist in YOU, then my faith rests in gods image.  Christian dogma follows only one thing, that your belief in god cannot fail you, when in reality it clearly does.  Your belief in god is what dictates that thinking.

^All this follows, therefore, the power of my belief rests in you, not god.  How would you ever know I think that.  It is a manifestation of the question god exists or not.

People fail me all the time, because they do not question their belief.  That is the point.  Ask yourself, what is more legal, gods image or your belief in god.  Truly examine that, think about it.

Lib:  Marco, I don't believe in God anymore.  I tried really hard to go back to  Him, but I couldn't.  It's like trying to fall back in love with a mate - you can wish it all you want, pray all you want, cry all you want, but in the end, you can't change it.

Marco: And I totally understand that Lib.  You have furthered my point.

"How does this justify the belief in gods name. No logic. > @Bible_Time: Be strong & courageous. Do not be terrified or discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go. -Josh 1:9"

^People cheat their illegitimate understanding of beliefs, and what they signify all the time.  That is my point.  You have to find the truth about it, in order to redeem any self-respecting type of beliefs you own.  It is a very powerful thing.  I believe you have everything a person could want in life, in terms of honest possession within you.  I openly confide in that.  Why else am I an actor.

And as I say that people cheat, this is when they do not question their authority over you - as if - as if licensed to eliminate your personal space, kill satisfaction, take a domineering or condescending approach to truth and reason.  I suggest: that people give themselves too much credit in their ability - they use the question of god to justify it.  Nothing could be further from a qualified truth.  And that qualified truth is this: People aim to exterminate the will to achieve certain things in life, they use their skilled acumen as professionals to limit your purpose in life.  Truly think about that.  People make a habit in cheating each other all the time.  When rules are broken they point at each other, as when rules are kept promises they turn to god.  Highly unlikely, but very very convenient.

Lib: I don't understand stand what you are trying to say.  Use simpler words.

Marco: Re; cheating

What I mean is people cheat.  They cheat by using their belief in god, to manipulate others.  They do this without questioning their fair use of belief, form prejudices instead.

"1- When rules are broken they point at each other, 2- as when rules are kept promises they turn to god."

1= People are quick to blame each other, that follows 2= when it comes to their false interpretation of something, they refuse to be wrong even some of the time.  Both 1 and 2 distinguish how hypocritical people are in real life, they sneer at one thing and inform their double standards to the other.  In other words, they use god as a subject to manipulate others, while they themselves conveniently turn a blind eye when things go wrong.  All of the sudden they abandon their so called loyalty to god, making the use of god as a tool to get what they want.

I cannot make it any clearer than that.

Lib: I think that that is all a given Marco.  People are not infallible, they justify the inhumane/evil in themselves as the Will of God, The will of Allah, The Fickle Will of the Gods.  But this is nothing new.  We can't change it.  We can only change ourselves and let our own actions (hopefully) inform others about our way of thought and belief.

Marco: You really think it is a given that people cheat, then I agree, you have read what is taking place in this discussion.  Thank you.

Lib: Yes people cheat.  They cheat on their mates, exams, diets, taxes, etc.  But not ALL people ALL the time.  The one area that I have faith in is the general Goodness of People.

Marco:  Moral courage is my single greatest attribute, you will not find it on any resume.  There is my case.
