If an orange is called orange then why isn’t an apple called a red. And why are a red haireds referred to as such when the colour is clearly orange. Also why is the Earth is called Earth when two-thirds of it is sea. Shouldn’t it be called the Blue? The same way the Sun should be called the Yellow and the Moon the White.

An orange is called an orange and an apple an apple because an orange is always orange. An apple is a fruit of many colours.

Redheads are called red because that is the closest to an absolute colour. Blacks aren't black but they are called that for simplicity's sake. Same with whites. There are different types and degrees of redheads still they are all bunched together in a more descriptive and less confusing colour; it is the human way fo simplifying everything around us.

Earth is called the earth because it was named by people who had no idea whatsoever that there was so much water. Furthermore, the functioning parts of the earth, for us atleast, was the earth itself, seeing as how we cannot live on or in water. The descriptions have changed over time and the "blue planet" is not uncommon to hear.

Since the sun has been worshiped for as long as there has been human civilization, to call it the yellow would in many ways be insulting. The same goes for the moon. It is more prudent to name important objects so that the particular name cannot be confused with anything else. It is a way of showing respect and legitimacy of the object's importance. That's why we call it THE moon and not EARTH'S moon. There is only one meaningful moon for us and that white one is it. Perhas also to occupy the word "white" and "yellow" might not be particularly practical, we use them regularly. Or perhaps the words sun and moon used to mean white and yellow and consequently the words white and yellow were invented in order to fill the void when the sun and moon occupied those before.

You've just killed my enthusiasm for this thread.

Sorry, father

I don't know why you keep referring to me as "father", especially when at times you seem far more conservative then myself.

And the other difference is though we both believe in a higher infallible being, mine is spiritual whereas yours is historical. At least re God it can be interpreted as per the individual, hence why there are many different branches. Whereas with personality cults there is an expected conformity that does not allow any such deviation.

the forum is dying

Well, father, it's not that I want to offend you. It's a title I've chosen to give you both because of your religious views contra my godlessness and also because I can't call somone who's older "son" - bit disrespectful innit? And it tickles my humor nerve abit. Gotta admit that.

I'm not sure about where I'm conservative but I guess I'll take your word for it since I don't know myself as well as I could.

But hey there, infallible? Ata? You've got to be kidding me, father. God? Even a greater joke. Everything is a continuum of the previous, constanty improving, dying, living and evolving. If God was infallible, evil is what killed him. Personally, I've never seen the great Father of all Turks to be anything more than a mere man. Many mistakes and victories later, his birth and life is celebrated as well as despised all across the world. I'd care to say the same about your God, though, none has been more hated, none with greater anger, vengeance and a paradoxical psychotic love for his submissive slaves. To say that you can interpret God as anything but the extremely loving hateful monster we've created is the same as having no God at all. Let's all just create our own one then. Why is it at all relevant after branching and rebranching? It becomes the struggle of old, all too human desires and fears competing, memes flowing back and forth, ideas killing other ideas. It's all a process of civilized evolution but unconsciously progressing, mutating like a virus to infect and outnumber, even eradicate it's competitors.

Why do we war? It's the memes taking control of the mind, egging it on, exploiting its weaknesses to clutch to other memes to make it stronger. With enough minds supporting an idea, it's easy to "interpret" so called "absolutes" in order to survive. To justify with mysticism means outright lying.

Of course you could take the moral out of te equation completely, but then the angry God has no place at all in our civilzed world. It needs to propagate an idea, way of lving - a moral code in order to function as a competitor. Without that, we would all just get along. Disaster.
