"Color" is an illusion. Light and its spectrum exist in the physical world, but color is all in your mind. Having said that, color can be measured quite accurately, for an illusion, under some common practical conditions, and its influence on people behavior is well understood for something that is not real'
LSD is a pretty simple way to alter the set perceptions of established colors, but they have all already been seen. It matters not so much as to the knowledge in your head, but rather the content of the heart...
OK.
But my point stays the same.
Man is so limited in what he can do he wouldn't know truth if he fell over it.
To think that all that there is is what we can prove by our standards is pretty small thinking in my opinion.
You truly have to have a lot of faith, if it is based off the experiences of other men, Something I’ve never been able to do.
Bs. You and every other breathing person deals with faith thousands of times a day.
we do it from our first conscious thought and don't stop until we die.
To me, breathing is confidence;
Confidence – (1.)Trust that is based on knowledge or past experience.
(2.) a feeling of self-assurance arising from one's appreciation of one's own abilities or qualities.
We are not born with that confidence, we do not even develop it until we are old enough to understand the necessity of breathing. That understanding gives us knowledge, but that knowledge should not be confused as some sort of blind faith. As soon as we develop our ability to reason, if we recognize that confidence, at that point it could be analyzed or processed as a belief. Belief is an opinion or judgement in which a person has to be persuaded, no one had to persuade me that I am and will continue to breath. On the other hand my belief of God was made from information that was presented to my mind, both good and bad.
My belief "of" God is knowledge, my belief "in" God is faith. Knowledge comes before belief and belief comes before faith. As such faith can not exist without knowledge. While the human mind can hold vast amounts of knowledge absent of faith. Knowledge and beliefs are subject to revision as well as indoctrination to the masses. My faith is personal and not subject to revision nor could it be indoctrinated into even the simplest of fools.
