There isnt that much freedom it seems...and INFINITY

[Quantum]

I immediately wished to post this in the effort of avoiding any misunderstanding. I will come back to respond to the balance of your post more fully when time allows.

this last block, gives various important feelings in regard to your approach, motives and the language of the post and associations you have made in between me and 'nihilism' and my ponderings of infinity.

you seem to be defending the concept of an all powerful god, rather than pondering infinity together. tone has become somewhat condescending and also you have gone the extra mileage of attributing various adjectives to my persona or approach, like 'nihilism' and whatnot.

I use the term God loosely. I mean absolutely no religious context associated with it whatsoever. But in hindsight I suppose I can understand what such a word may evoke as an image for another who shared as much as was shared regarding your sentiments on religion. Let us loose the word God. It will only deflect the intent of the dialog. God for me is Infinity. God for me is the One Infinite Creator. God for you may be the figure of religion which we both know and agree is the Easter Bunny God. If we are agreed, we may move on.

As for the nihilism comment, and any attempt to address your persona personally, I am perplexed? Nihilism is a legitimate philosophical belief of which more than a few famous philosophers were of this persuasion?

Nihilism: annihilation of the self, or the individual consciousness, esp. as an aspect of mystical experience.

I would have thought that you would have taken this as an understanding at the very least, if not a compliment at most, more than an injury. I was addressing what I find to be your curious beliefs on infinity, not you or your persona. My confusion lies in the fact if you understood the term and its definition and were injured nonetheless. My apologies are offered if for utilizing it you did not understand its meaning and it resulted in your misunderstanding. See more on nihilism on

[b]you seem to be defending the concept of an all powerful god, rather than pondering infinity together.

same as above.

im not offended, neither do i give much importance to such, however it is quite unproductive and im not interested in defenses of an all powerful 'god' belief, or its debunking, or anything relevant to these.

same as above. You've read far too much into the one single word God.

therefore i wont be participating in any kind of reply exchange with people who desire as such. up to this point, and especially in this topic, you have shown your desire to be as such. if you want to ponder infinity and exchange thoughts with me without feeling the need to defend an all powerful god concept and even coerce it over me, be my guest. but if i feel that it is happening as otherwise, and it is, as of now, i will just opt out of discussing with you. no offense, of course.

Same as above. God is a simple word made up of three simple letters in the English language which seems to have evoked a response I'm not prepared for, given the word God for me carries an entirely different connotation, which humorously is no doubt the exact same definition you would no doubt have for Infinity, Infinite Intelligence, Intelligent Infinity, etc etc.

My apologies once again. Lets try it again....but lets try it without looking for whats not there, i.e. God. I further assure you that I am addressing your concepts, not you, i.e. nihilism, and attempting to do in as an erudite and detached manner as possible.
