I have been studying "The Dude De Ching" and I've had an epiphany.

I suggest that systems of belief based on faith instead of reason must not be given any greater or lesser due deference than any other form of artistic expression.

Is that some kind of Eastern thing? It does, however, bring up the question of can a belief be based on both faith and reason?

Nope.

Believable faith, reasonable faith, faithful belief, faithful reason ? ? ?

Faith is belief in something that doesn't exist. Contrary to Dudeism, which has its roots on Zen. Need I get out a dictionary?

HELP! Anyone...

2Faith is belief in something that doesn't exist. Contrary to Dudeism, which has its roots on Zen."

I should definitely begin to learn about Zen, still digging into the whole Taoism thing. You're surely right, we're much more into the trust thing than the faith thing.

"When we remember we are all mad, the mysteries disappear and life stands explained."

Fabulous stuff, and pretty correct.

Found another quote that fits here!

"There is simply no avoiding the conclusion that the human race is mad. There are scarcely any human beings who do not have some lunatic beliefs or other to which they attach great importance. People are mostly sane enough, of course, in the affairs of common life: the getting of food, shelter, and so on. But the moment they attempt any depth or generality of thought, they go mad almost infallibly."
David Stove

There is no such thing as absolute truth.Just perceptions and opinions.

You've just made an absolute statement... Philosophy 101.

Yeah, well, that's just like your opinion, man.

This is interesting. We are all sane enough.
