    Is Rat becoming an honest man? :)-)

    First he comes out as a religious fanatic

    And is he now coming out as a libertarian?

    **

    For some time I’ve been Rat has been hinting at another political way, that had neither right wing or left wing elements and that all people from the left and the right should unite under this new way.

    Is he now saying that this ‘new way’ was really just the old type of right wing nationalistic libertarianism all along?

    I thought I made it clear that I am NOT religious, Balbus. Or, is it simply beneficial to you to make it out that I am when I'm not? It shows how disingenuous you are, that you feel compelled to repeat the same lies over and over again.

    I've already said that I am not libertarian, though I prefer that system over any of the other ones, even though I don't agree with every aspect of it.

    Rat these are your documented views

    You believe in God

    And you believe in a ‘the conspiracy’ that believes in the devil.

    You believe that your beliefs are good and that the ‘the conspiracy’s’ beliefs are evil

    You believe that we are involved in a fight between good and evil

    Between a ‘good’ god and a evil ‘devil’

    Also you claim not just to believe these things but to 'know' them with absolute certainty

    But you are claiming this has nothing to do with religion?

    Why?

    **

    So you are not a libertarian but you prefer that system over any other, so you're basically a libertarian then.

    If you walk like a duck and quack like a duck, you're still a duck even if you want to call yourself a swan.

    Yes, I believe in the divine spirit which is infinite consciousness. We are all God. God isn't a person. God isn't an entity. God is you, me and everyone else inhabiting the same infinite consciousness.

    I don't believe in "the devil" as it is commonly portrayed and believed by some Christians. I believe Lucifer as being simply another term for the dark forces present in the universe. Not an entity. Not a physical or etheral being. Not red with horns.

    Wrong. Beliefs cannot be good or evil.

    Or postive energy and negative energy.

    Wrong again.

    When you are connected to your spiritual core, there is no need for beliefs. The inner you knows. Religion does not know, as it does not come from within. Religion tells you what to think and how to act, and what will happen if you don't follow its ridiculous standards. That is not spirituality. That is religious dogma used for control. I have, nor want, any part in toxic, organized religion, which was created only to take people away from God and away from the truth.

    I just explained why.

    If you want to call me a libertarian, fine. Do you honestly think I give a fuck?

    “I believe in the divine spirit which is infinite consciousness. We are all God. God isn't a person. God isn't an entity. God is you, me and everyone else inhabiting the same infinite consciousness.”

    Please don’t drag me into your religious fantasies. There are no gods or divine spirits. (The only spirits I’ll accept are tequila and cognac, I’ll have a double, cheers)

    And just as there are no gods there are no devils or as you like to put it “dark forces present in the universe” (sounds so George Lucas)

    “When you are connected to your spiritual core, there is no need for beliefs. The inner you knows.”

    What?

    So you know you are right because you believe you are right, so anything you believe must be right.

    Very comforting but not very rational.

    “If you want to call me a libertarian, fine. Do you honestly think I give a fuck?”

    So are you honestly still claiming you are not a libertarian?
