If your "heart" tells you such a thing is true and you profess the belief to others, what does this achieve in terms of validating or explaining the other beliefs that you hold?
@fmf saidSay what! ??

Check yourself. The next time you see a photograph of the surface of the planet Mars. Check your eyes and your heart.
I wager that you stare at that picture of the desolate planet's surface searching for something that reminds you of earth, life, man's world.
I wager that that is the intuitive sense in your heart that creation was arrange for human life. It just seems without this the planet is so waste, void, empty. Maybe there was something there once before the rebellion of Satan. But I speculate.
I don't know for certain.
But I think the innate sensation that creation is arranged for US with life support systems like water, gravity, vegetation, clouds, rain, green, other lives . . . etc.
@sonship saidThis is the topic: if your "heart" tells you that an arguably outlandish and non-essential thing is true and you profess the belief to others, what does this achieve in terms of validating or explaining the other more important beliefs that you hold?
I'll let you go aheaed and have fun with your new topic.
@sonship saidCan I ask, where do you get ideas like this from sonship?

Notice:
"Maybe" - "But I speculate" - "I don't know for certain."
@fmf saidThe short answer is - it doesn't achieve much. Professing your belief to others (whether your heart tells you or not) Is simply stating an opinion.

@mchill saidI like this. Completely in line with something I think a lot of Earth religions share re: doing something good without expectation of reward or result or recognition.

@mchill saidIf by "cutting some slack" you mean not being honest or forthright with him - on a platform surely intended for the honest and forthright sharing of perspectives - then I will leave that kind of thing to you.
JMHO - Sonship's posts are put here with honorable intentions, so I'm inclined to cut him some slack.

@fmf saidNot much of a surprise, coming from a haughty rando who is proud of his own fictions.

The topic is actually about the trade-off between narcissism and effective propagation of one's perspectives and beliefs. Apologies if that went over your head because the thread title tweaked your ego
