I just question all things.
The way I see it, the best and brightest question everything.
What about it would compel a wicked antagonist .. what would cause them to convert
Nothing to speak of, aside from consequences of course. I think the "convert" part is a trap we all know, like controlled resistance if you will. I call this the "dogma" or "propaganda" scenarios I picked up from TV or the commercial churches that twist, confuse. There is propaganda in law and church too and it is no less sophisticated than the propaganda to promote lies and hide the truth.
I had to separate this out in my own head so I could see what people are talking about if or when they express faith based concepts. I realized it is just a definition and some have a broad definition for it and others a more narrow. A word without a definition is nothing but confusion. I equate it to real science (not seen in TV or corporate big-pharma) where one can be more effective with a "theory" and use a hypothesis and see if it plays out and, if not, adjust the theory and experiments. I use rational scientific process but I have a lot of fun and success entertaining and basing it all on theories. Not unlike the real Tesla (I assume) where he seemed to see and know things that lead him to discover amazing inventions. We may never know the how but we can see the result. I get use to tagging my foundational beliefs as a theory so it is easy to change and adjust myself as I see more. But I had blocks and triggers I had to question as well so I could even do this. The kicker is, the more I learn the more I see there is a design or architecture at play. Nothing new under the sun they say. And I don't think about it as converting anyone. They have lessons to learn. II think of t as free will; the yen and the yang; creation and destruction. Sometimes you have to tare things down to build something new so I don't even see it as all bad or wrong. There are just wrongs that need to be dealt with. It is as if this simulation had millions of years to find ways to program, test, or otherwise challenge us. I agree, keep questioning everything even the stuff you don't know to question (the search for those fits my definition of faith or theory).
Yeah, I'm happy you pointed out the problems with the idea "convert." If you read any of my posts, you'd probably see that I was using this word exactly in the terrible way you suspected, and so I'm glad you could step around that trap.
And yeah, I mentioned to someone else the "common law" idea, but gave it some harsh remarks, comparing it to a mere "wish" or a plea. Yet, it is indeed a noble plea. To think that some people -deliberately- harm others or cause them loss, makes them sick indeed.
I figure we'll get along just fine then, so no worries. I wish no harm or loss upon you. =p
Yea, hard lesson to learn. As soon as I learn something I want to share it too but that can be harmful to someone else even if it is right for me. Anyways, there are levels of higher jurisdiction too. Trying to jump too high too fast and the system does a fantastic job of knocking us back down. It is really good at that .. lol .. I follow Alphonse Faggiola who does a fantastic job of simply keeping his rights but he does know the difference between a kangaroo court and a constitutional court. Unfortunately that is more specific to the United States of America. The common wealth countries don't have as much of that middle layer, but it is there I hear, I just have not found someone doing a great job in the system in a common wealth country yet. That is a really good step in this case in the United States of America and one I want to know pretty well even though I prefer to get above that jurisdiction. He just knows which of "their" rules to learn and uses it. He really has some impressive stories. That is speaking their language too. But again, some just don't want to deal with that and go for the gold.
Aho brother!
