[QUOTE]Originally posted by TSN: [QB] First: Exactly. If speculation is your idea of a good time, feel free. But, when people start accepting their speculations as the "Truth", to the exclusion of all else, they're fooling themselves. Worst of all, they try to fool others, too. Personally, I fail to understand how someone can take solace in such beliefs. I could never make something up like that, and take comfort in the "knowledge" that it's true. Mainly because I [i]don't[/i] "know" that it's true. How can one say "Everything will work out because I know 'God' is watching over me."? Bullshit. You can't "know" that anymore than you can "know" what I'm thinking at any given moment (barring any telepathic powers, or my telling you). You might be able to see the look on my face, see how I'm acting, observe other things about me, and come up w/ a [i]theory[/i] on what I [i]might[/i] be thinking. But you can't know it, and, if you think otherwise, you're wrong. I can't comfort myself w/ "knowledge" that I or other people have invented, and the ability of others to do so demonstrates a fairly limited use of their potential thought power... [/QB][/QUOTE]
