Thats fine, like moonhead, I accept that you have no citations what so ever, not even the dictionary and that your statement is based solely on roncrockery.
Moonhead is still waiting for you to cite a citation that confuscianism is too a religion, sweetie. That's why Moonhead has found nothing in your tirade of drivel to debunk, dig? You just came out with a daft statement, and acted like it was a proven fact rather than a bizarre personal interpretation nobody else holds. That isn't so much an argument as a psychosis, you'll find.
quote:
CITATION
"Belief is part of the thinking process by every definition available.
I explained this before.
If you make a mental determination, and acceptance thereof, once that act occurred you now believe the outcome of your mental determination is or will be correct. (lying to others or yourself notwithstanding)
Therefore regardless of ones choice to believe or not believe, with regard to the the subject matter, the resultant action is in fact still a belief, and the person accepting said decision has faith in their ability to be correct and belief in the outcome regardless.
Therefore "not believe" that atheists use is a specious argument that falls on its face as it cannot be correctly attached to the process involved.
Now religion in its essence is a fundamental set beliefs that one has accepted and uses to govern their actions.
Same with the word God. You can worship any God you like, it can be anything from a diety to the government to a sacred fart, or even deify yourself.
Now that is where I am coming from and I have not heard anything that defeats or even dents this position since it is the precise sequence of events in accord with known definitions on the topic.
If you heard whatever from confucious and you made a conscious decision to practice it to govern your life by it etc then it IS YOUR RELIGION.
Nowhere in the "Freedom of religion and exercise thereof" does it say "State acknowledged" religion, "academically acknowledged" religion, "philisophicaly acknowledged" religion et al.
That said once I declare something my religion who has the legitimate authority to challenge my claim?
Therefore confucianism is a religion for those who accept it as such and any claim by outside sources to the contrary is mere unsubstantiated opinion with regard to the owner.
As I said I see no measuring stick that anyone can use aside from someones religion causing personal or equitable injury.
Any color of law rule ordinance whatever to enforce anything beyond personal or equitable injury is government intrusion, abridgement and abuse." ~ R1
Did that clear it up?
theres your citation.
Why are you farting around like that? We both know you do not have a counter argument.
Feel free to MAP out and detail as I have done in my argument what ever you think is a counter argument, and simply saying confucianism is not a religion is NOT mapping out and detailing a counter argument. But then I expect you know that.
