interesting topic on free will
this was a hard one to follow between the two speakers
I have really enjoyed this one episode. You have wonderfully managed to articulate in a very understandable manner, different aspects of reality perception and theological/religious/intellectual expression of its manifestations. I have, on different occasions, entertained myself with some thoughts and musings that resemble very closely your personal thoughts in this regard, which obviously fascinates me because I can see that not matter how far away in distance and time, some ideas/thoughts are very similar, if not the same. BTW, I have somehow attempted to articulate my personal, similar thoughts about this topic in a book that I am about to publish, hopefully soon. This is, indeed, a very deep and fascinating subject, worthy of consideration by many gatekeepers of religious, theological and scientific tradition. Unfortunately, and under the current, prevalent paradigms and ethos of our world, this reasoning of what God is and is not -or could be- is rejected and not even considered
Well, I do firmly believe there must be an objective truth and reality lying outside of our best attempts to grasp it. However, I also believe that we are able to look at this objective truth from a very specific angle or perspective... that we only have little glimpses, at best, of this objective truth, which makes it unavoidable to express this perception of truth in different manners. I also believe that subjective perceptions of truth and reality may give room to contradictions and inconsistencies in one's own belief system. As a result of the latter, there will be different ways of stating this perception of truth, which, in the surface, may seen to change or evolve from time to time. Does that makes me a fashionable thinker, according to your definition of such?
