It is not a system as it is constantly growing, changing, morphing, evolving - a little bit of this and a little bit of that. Systems are usually dogmatic. I like to keep an open mind.

Me too, that's why I'm willing to hear any argument against Christianity. I haven't come across anything too scary yet. ;-)
Spiritual anarchy separates you from the creator, don't you agree?
Why would it? I believe the journey is a very personal, solo affair. I don't need others to validate what I know. I don't need to convince anybody to agree with me. What I perceive my higher power to be is not up for negotiation or scrutiny.
Looking at all the various belief systems has lead me to see that there is some truth in all of them but none of them are the only way.
So beliefs are up for debate, but not yours? I don't need validation from anyone either, but I'm willing to let my beliefs be challenged.
What makes you believe that none could be the only way? Just because you think truth is relative?
No, I am entirely accurate, I do know the math here. It's true that as x tends to zero, 1/x tends to infinity, but that's not division, that's pretty much the definition of the limit as it's developed in calculus, without the mathematical formalism. X tends to zero, it doesn't become zero. Another way to put it is that as x approaches 0, 1/x increases without limit, but x never quite gets to zero. Division by zero has no meaning, ever, regardless of the numerator. If 1/x is infinity if x is zero, then by the rules of algebra 0 times infinity is one, which would also mean that 2/x is infinity if x is zero, so 0 times infinity is also 2, and so on. Not allowed; division by zero is an undefined operation because it leads to nonsense like that.
Being a Christian, your beliefs are already out there. It is not your beliefs that I challenge but the source of your beliefs. Having studied the bible from a historical point of view, with all the mistranslations and misinterpretations by who, when and for what reasons, I have had to conclude that the bible has been so bastardized in the past 2000 years as to be without merit.
If I tell you what I believe today, it may not be valid tomorrow. Besides, because they are not familiar to others, I would have to write a book on the subject - Oh, I already did - there is just not enough room here to bring you up to speed.

Not only is the truth relative, reality is, life is, gawd is. The underwear I have on is relative to the first pair that my hand fell on in the drawer this morning. That would sum up my philosophy for today.
Exactly. Indeterminate does not mean meaningless. And introducing known numbers like 1 changes the concept. Red herrings are a typical reply by Joke to try making himself look less foolish.
How would you know? You don't think prolifers have a variety of opinions like you antilifers?
You know the old saying, "You can pick you nose and you can pick your friends, but you can't pick your friend's nose." Well big likes to pick other people's noses. Strange fetish, I know, but there you have it, eh!
Why would an atheist have a philosophical assumption about what gods are? To atheists gods don't even exist. It'd be like me having an opinion about when Piltdown Man lived.:roll:
One guy says, "blue is the best color". His wife says, "wrong, green is the best one". Which truth is the correct one?

Prove Jesus Christ actually existed then.
No. One does not need religions to enable recognition of spirituality. Anarchy means lack of governing. Basically a spiritual anarchist's spirit is free to be itself without tenets and dogmas and whatnot.
This reminds me of the argument about the proper way to put the toilet paper on the roller - in or out. there is no proper way, only personal preference.
?? I'd find someone else's finger up my nose annoying. Big doesn't annoy me, he amuses me. I'm beginning to think he posts the stuff he posts to get chuckles. Whatever intent he has, he gets me chuckling.
People who believe and people who don't believe both assume, either his existence or non-existence, because no one can "know" beyond certainty what the correct answer is.
