Reply #75: You've made personal comfort the metric for truth

[Silent3]

Or, perhaps more precisely, an excuse for lack of concern for truth.

That you readily admit to changing beliefs like you change clothing leads me to view anything your say about truth and belief as having about as much depth as a fashion magazine. You try to make this sound very noble, a way to be "open" and non-judgmental, but it's actually very self centered, making the reduction of your own inner turmoil the highest goal.

Maybe that's an effective way for some people to be happier, but it's a shallow philosophy, and I see little difference between that kind of thinking and using drugs to make yourself comfortably numb.
