how so?

>A big wall of cope and bullshit.
not an argument
> Believe whatever you want to believe, it makes no difference to me.
that you are indifferent to if any objective truth actually exists is further evidence that you are simply resting in an irrational state of lukewarm complacency because of fear
>But stop shilling your nonsense in threads where it's obviously not welcome
why would I listen to what you have to say without an argument for why i should do so?

because beginning on a spectrum where theological claims to truth are weighed on epistemological bases as being subjective leads one to inevitably contend with the question of how to weigh whether which, if any, of the mutually incompatible claims of two given "spiritual masters" are true. an easy way to start is to compare the truth claims of a homeless man claiming he is Jesus, versus the claims recorded in the Pali canon of Buddha. how do you know Buddha is more likely to be correct on a given issue, on an epistemological basis? investigating this logical basis of epistemology leads one to Christianity, incontrovertibly

>christianity makes about as much sense to me as African folk religion or whatever else
that you cannot weigh two claims against one another to see which is closer to being true shows your lack of philosophical rigour, and thus, the fact that you actually did not go on "that journey" (or that, if you began, you are actually still on it [unknowingly])
>I maintain the ineffability of the truth
then surely you would posit the via negativa as a valid means of coming to knowledge of the transcendentals - by saying that, for example, the Truth cannot be wholly grasped by a regular human being, coming to such a thesis through apophatic philosophy?
>We also don't need evidence to assert belief systems are bullshit
so if I assert that the belief system of the earth being non-flat is most likely false, this is as rational a claim in your eyes as if I claim it is an oblate spheroid?
>your belief systems need evidence to convince people they aren't bullshit
which they do all do have, obviously - the question is whether you are convinced, not if the evidence exists
>Drop the pilpul and give me actual, hard evidence for your religion.
the historical-epistemological case for the resurrection of Jesus Christ after His crucifixion
>some vague historical stuff that can be easily discarded
if you discard a given episteme, you should obviously have a rational and logical reason to do so, favoring an alternative hypothesis
>Me included but at least I don't assert anything except that existence is strange and we should leave it at that.
you actually assert many things, and hold a dogmatic belief system of your own creation based on an amalgamation of worldviews - the question is whether yours is true (and if you don't believe humans can grasp any subset of the truth, why assert your position that the proposition "any subset of the truth is ungraspable" is true?)

The essence of chairness is inherited from the essence of a "seat", which is something which one can sit on. The only essential property of a chair, which distinguishes it from, say, a stool, is that a chair has a back.

Therefore, the essence of a chair is a seat with a back.

It's okay bud, take some deep breaths and calm down, nobody is going to hurt you. Know that I'm always here for you, if you change your mind and want to talk. God bless you!

Shrooms are just a quick and easy way to change your perspective, life changing events and trauma can also do this but you cant really account for them. The best thing to do would be to join the army/get a job that takes you far away from your hometown, you've gotten a taste of how you should be truly living but your ego/persona will not change overnight without life experiences.

He is not wrong, your life sucks because you are mentally weak and will rightly be erased from the gene pool in a few years when you end up oofing urself

>There are some strange summer mornings in the country, when he who is but a sojourner from the city shall early walk forth into the fields, and be wonder-smitten with the trance-like aspect of the green and golden world.
