Coy? I thought it was a straightforward look at the cross as a symbol.

I believe in truth and that it can exist unrecognized. That microscope has been increasing its magnificatioin since Newton and more truth is being discovered.

Truth can exist in the brain without context - another thing we aparently disagree on. 1+1=2 exists in my brain and is true whether I know any context regarding it.

At least we agree on a sentence to disagree on. Truth does exist, I believe, and have some reasons for believing. Closed minded people receive some truth, I believe that too. But they limit the amount.

To hold truth and believe it to be wrong makes the "truth" non-truth in that person's mind. That's only a word twiddle.

That's not dunce behavior in my recognition of truth.

No. But neither did I imagine her as not black.

“On-the-ranker-humor”? Me? How could you?
replying on The Symbol by Dovina 25 Mar 2005, 7:02 AM
Perhaps you love the cross too. Not many on poemranker are strong enough to love both.

Would you mind rephrasing that in the English language using English grammar?
replying on The Symbol by Dovina 25 Mar 2005, 7:00 AM
Why not?

Of course you must not admit I am right, but must instead point to unfounded past "failures." At least I know by this you have no response.

Yes terrorist. Anyone wearing a symbol of perhaps the most painful form of execution ever devised might be wearing dynamite.

Yes, but Premise 1 is impossible because no real valve leaks as much water when it is closed as when it is open, else we must redefine the word "valve." Likewise Premise 2 fails. Sorry, but I only wish to discuss possibilkities. Why did you change zodiac from chode to dim?

Yes, but Premise 1 is impossible in reality because no closed valve leaks as much water as an open valve of the same kind, else we must redefine what a valve is. Likewise Premise 2 fails. Sorry, but I only wish to discuss possibilities. Is "chode" in style now? "toad" perhaps.

passe
replying on Reasonably Good by Dovina 24 Mar 2005, 4:28 PM
That's the same as saying as much water goes through a closed valve as through an open one. And "dim" is pase - zodiac said so.

If you show me some isolated case where open mindedness inhibits the entrance of truth or closed mindedness aids the entrance of truth it does not defeat the argument.
replying on Reasonably Good by Dovina 24 Mar 2005, 4:20 PM
Simple sentence: closed mindedness inhibits the entrance of truth. Definitions of truth are not the issue; that's a big subject of its own. Please, let's not debate what a mind is, or whether truth is good, or what propositions are. Will you please stay on one subject.

Let me simplify it for you: Closed mindedness inhibits the entrance of truth.
