It's the definition of God as the living God who gives life to all 
living things. Without God, all living things will die, and the world of 
living will cease to exist.

The God of living is from within, not without. So stop looking around, 
there is nothing you can see with your eyes or hear with your ears. It's 
called a realization from the within.

It sounds like ambiguous poppycock to me.

--
Some of the Republican positions I find disgusting and abhorrent.

Most of the Democratic positions I find terrifying, especially 
those proposed by His Imperial Majesty Emperor Ass.

Any day now I expect some liberal to demand a government 
guaranteed above average income for every person.

Every illegal alien is a criminal.
No amnesty or work permit under any name or for any reason.
Deportation upon identification as the only option.

If you must text and drive please kill yourself quickly
before you run into me.

I'm afraid your physical eyes can not see the spiritual world the same 
way your physical science can not prove or disprove philosophy. The 
spiritual existence is beyond the ability of your physical eyes.

As I said, I have yet to see any evidence any 'spiritual world' ever
existed.  That still holds true.

But history shows that isn't from a lack of trying.  For most of
history I would have long since been executed for heresy.

Irrelevant. Are you suggesting you are playing some kind of hero in here 
by being wilfully blind?

Not at all.  It would be a bit difficult to do anything to me since I
am not here physically.  

I am far from blind.  I simply have not been brainwashed to accept
that which has no supporting evidence.

And yet, you don't appear to be able to understand my rather simple 
philosophical point of view. To me, that counts as wilful blindness on 
your part.

In other words, you have been brainwashed and indoctrinated by the 
empirical science to rely on your physical senses alone in determining 
the truth and reality. You can not imagine the possibility that what you 
see, hear, touch, smell, and taste could all be an elaborate scheme to 
make you believe the physical world is real. You look just like a 
character in <The Matrix>.

No brainwashing is necessary.  no other tool are available.

A movie based on fiction.  Is that the best you can do?

Some of the Republican positions I find disgusting and abhorrent.

Most of the Democratic positions I find terrifying, especially 
those proposed by His Imperial Majesty Emperor Ass.

Any day now I expect some liberal to demand a government 
guaranteed above average income for every person.

Every illegal alien is a criminal.
No amnesty or work permit under any name or for any reason.
Deportation upon identification as the only option.

If you must text and drive please kill yourself quickly
before you run into me.

Science itself is based on a set of beliefs. For you to believe what 
science believes, how can it not be indoctrination or brainwashing?

That's just an example to show what exactly you have become by believing 
in science.

A minute after you typed that sentence, it could
potentially be read by billions of people, thousands
of miles away.

A phenomenon that would have been impossible
even when I was a young aged chemist.

How do you think that came to be?

Science and technology are wonderful tools to make life on earth more 
convenient, but they are just tools to deal with the environment meaning 
the physical world. What really matters to life is what comes from the 
within. The reason money can't buy happiness is because happiness does 
not come from the money. It comes from the within.
