I simply wish to have my vews be challenged

Chat about anything your heart desires here, just be civil. Factual or scientific questions about philosophy go here (e.g. "When was Socrates born?"), and so most homework help questions belong here. Note, posts in the off-topic section will not increase new members post counts. This includes the introductions and feedback sections.

Feel free to argue anything with me. Even if you think you can not convince me try to present an good argument. (try to be unique).

It is a bit difficult to challenge your views when we have no idea what your views are.

If you tell us what silly things you believe, we will then have something to work with.

As for convincing you, most people are unreasonable, and so a well-reasoned argument will have little or no effect. So if you are like most people, you will continue believing whatever silly things you currently believe, no matter what is presented.

The fairies at the bottom of my garden argue that you will never accept their reality or presence. Are they right?

He spelled what he said correctly. He just used the wrong words. "Can," not," and "an" are correct spellings. But I don't know whether I should have spelled "Can" with a lower case "c" since I was quoting the person. ???

Oops. I guess I was giving the person the benefit of not being critical until I read what s/he said.

No you don't. If you did you would have expressed some views and/or replied to some of the people who've answered you here.

I challenge your view that the genital cutting of children is essentially less harmful when the child is a boy, but first I need you to confirm that is your view.

'God' is a word that is sometimes referred to as 'that', which is omni-potent, omni-scient, and omni-benevolent.

'That', which is these three things is the Mind, Itself.

Contrary to popular belief, in the days of when this is being written, there is only one Mind, which is ALWAYS OPEN.

The OPEN Mind is able to achieve 'that' what was once believed impossible (omni-potent in a sense), is able to discover, learn, and know ALL things, (omni-scient), and has, through empathy, compassion for ALL things.

Now, how this one Mind came to KNOW thy Self was because of what the Universe actually IS and because of how the Universe actually works. Because of how the Universe works and creates EVERY thing, then the one, and only, Universe is thee Creator.

'God' is a word that is sometimes referred to as the Creator.

So, the one and only Universe is God, in the visible/physical sense, which is Truly omni-potent, and, the one and only Mind is God, in the non visible/(non physical?) sense, which is omni-potent and Truly omni-scient and omni-benevolent.

If this is unique or not, to you, then this is unknown to "others", that is; until the views within that head are freely expressed. Which, if one Truly wished to have their views challenged, then they would PRESENT their views. But until then, how about challenging the views expressed above?
