90. So you're upset over word choice?

many words have multiple meanings. There are different concepts of God all throughout the world, and the US is no safe zone.

For example, there are 2-3 times as many Hindus as there are Americans. Not only do Hindus define "God" differently than non-Hindus, but you'd be pressed to find a group of Hindus that all define God the same as each other.

To add to the definition diversity, some Hindus may worship dozens of Gods, each with dozens of personalities and incarnations (not to mention heads and arms), while many other Hindus define God as an impersonal universal energy, and others define God as a reflection of our own consciousness. This diversity of definition is nothing new. The earliest Hindu scriptures predate Christianity by a millennium, and Greek Democracy but a good five Centuries.

So tell me again about how the definition of God used to be so cleanly drawn, till folks started fuzzing it up some?

I ask because in your post #75 (http://www.democraticunderground.com/10024444273#post75) you relate your "favorite" Sam Harris quote.

Let's acknowledge and move past the fact that you have a "favorite" Harris quote, and focus on Harris' silliness. So he can't figure out how the addition of a hairdryer makes the claim more ridiculous or offensive?

If he's serious, he's either an insensitive shit-head, or the dumbest philosopher/neuroscientist ever. This makes me believe that he's not serious after all, and in all likelihood, neither are you.

I don't think you care about the "God" word at all.

I think you're upset over the beliefs of the believer.
