which religion?

[cacian]

the one that makes rules or the one that does not break them?
because let's face it not one follows religion by the book
and that is considered breaking it
and as the saying goes
what does not break you make you stronger?!

It doesn't make any difference, because everyone believes as he, or she, wishes, regardless of what words they may apply to their religious beliefs.

If there are any words to begin with.

religion is a strong belief that is not broken
but everytime one breaks a rule of it one piece of its meaning breaks too eventually it is nothing left of it
no word is able to prescribe to that because no word is breakable

Words are extremely malleable. Common usage changes all the time and words shift in their meaning quite frequently.

Since you used some, it would seem that there are words.

So that is your religion. O.K.

I don't think you understood what I meant.

You may be right, but I don't think you understood what I meant.


If there are any words to begin with. you wrote different things.

This suggested a Zen-like attitude toward language.

This comment suggested a more linguistics oriented view of language.

Maybe you tried to use language in too malleable a fashion, and it got twisted out of shape. So what did you mean?

Exactly.

To be honest, I don't know what I mean 76% of the time. The english language is large, complicated and confusing to me. I do enjoy me a reading of a phonetic account of an Irish person speaking english though.

English is a rather precise language; although some people don't know it well enough to use it with precision. If one doesn't know what he intends to expression, then using the English language will not make the intended expression any clearer, but one could substitute the name of any other language, and that assertion would be as accurate.

English is extremely irregular. English has many words with mulitple meanings.

There more regular and simple languages out there than english.

That is also true. Fortunately, many things that complicate other languages have been dropped from English.

Hello folks,

I feel your pain in reference to the use of language. My daughter is having some issues trying to be coherent in Japanese so as to pen in some of the anime as a form of fan fiction, as her favorite show is not being renewed. She knows that the subtleties evade her artistry.

Personally, I would love to be able to garner the essence of either French or Spanish, but I came to the game a little late.

The original post is interesting to me; it speaks to the fragility of the human ego (in this sense the human operating system) and it's relationship to morals and "that which is beyond."

I like the way cacian describes things. As far as "which religion", to answer her question, I suspect the ones that work best for each of us are good enough. We don't all have to have the same one.

Since we don't live alone in a vacuum, one which benefits ourselves and humanity and the rest of the creatures we share the place with as well, might be another, more broad consideration. :)
