When the intensity of emotional conviction subsides, a man who is in the habit of reasoning will search for logical grounds in favour of the belief which he finds in himself.

What convinces is conviction. Believe in the argument you're advancing. If you don't you're as good as dead. The other person will sense that something isn't there, and no chain of reasoning, no matter how logical or elegant or brilliant, will win your case for you.

That deep emotional conviction of the presence of a superior reasoning power, which is revealed in the incomprehensible universe, forms my idea of God.

Validation Of Truth
She assumes many things
that she believes to be fact
as she thinks
perceives
so must it be
an absolute
for her
there can be
no other possibilities
no exceptions
in her mood changing reality
she remains
at the centre
of her world
a belief system
based upon presumptions
without foundation
believed without
actual evidence
mere inference
conclusions drawn
without evidence
lacking reasoning
no logical process
applied reasoning
premise to conclusion
a reasoning process
lacking logic is
incapable of comprehension
validation to confirm establish truth
would be an ongoing redundant task

My religion consists of a humble admiration of the unlimitable superior who reveals Himself in the slight details we are able to perceive with our frail and feeble minds. That deeply emotional conviction of the presence of a superior reasoning power, which is revealed in the incomprehensible universe, forms my idea of God.

Puzzled
Life has a habit at times
of making you think you’re losing it.
First you lose one thing and then another.
You search for both but find nothing.
You know you’re not imagining it,
but are puzzled where they have gone.
There seems no logical explanation,
only that they are not around any more.
They say they will turn up again,
but the problem is when and where.
Only the future knows the answer
and right now, it isn’t saying.
The puzzle then remains,
where have the missing things gone.

It's the repetition of affirmations that leads to belief. And once that belief becomes a deep conviction, things begin to happen.

How beautiful is the Contentment, when we belief in the Simplicity
How beautiful is the Life, when we belief in the dead
How beautiful is the Love, when we belief in the Care
How beautiful is the Happiness, when we belief in the Sadness
How beautiful is the Relationships, when we belief in the Tender
How beautiful is the Fruit, when we belief in the Farming
How beautiful is the Confidence, when we belief in Our self
How beautiful is the Beauty, when we belief in Our eyes

How beautiful is the Friendship, when we belief in Brotherhood
How beautiful is the Marriage, when we belief in Sharing

If scientific reasoning were limited to the logical processes of arithmetic, we should not get very far in our understanding of the physical world. One might as well attempt to grasp the game of poker entirely by the use of the mathematics of probability.

Atheist Intensity Attacks
I belong
to that decreasing
western minority
which actually
believes in God
deep convictions
but you must
make your own
decisions of belief
I have no desire
nor right to change
any of your thoughts
God gave you
life intelligence plus
individual free choice
what surprises however
is atheist intensity attacks
upon their conceptions
religions are fairy tales
if fairy tales in reality
why intensity of attacks?

Ashamed
I know there's something that your dying to tell me
I hope it's not about your future without me
Make sure no-one finds out
Tell me all about it
Don't keep it to yourself
Cos I can't bear the thought
I'll never leave you quietly
I know you'll find me
It doesn't matter
Cos I need you here
I know that your ashamed
So emotional that is kills you
Don't you know that your ashamed
So emotional it kills you
There's always something that makes you guilty
There's still something that your dying to tell me
Make sure no-one finds out
Tell me all about it
Don't keep it to yourself
Cos I can't bear the thought
I'll never leave you quietly
I know you'll find me
It doesn't matter
Cos I need you here
I know that your ashamed
So emotional that is kills you
Don't you know that your ashamed
So emotional it kills you

My Opinion
You might not agree with what I see
You might object to a reasoning or thought
But it is your right to speak and disagree
And to say that you can't; I will not.
As we all have the right to think and believe
As we all have the right to live and breathe.
You might not stand by a judgement
You might say you are right and they are wrong
But then you have a right for your own statement
As in life it is better to live and get along.
Living is so short as we all know and see it
And dying one day, we all try to forget it.
You might not hold onto my conviction
You might believe my sentiment is unjust and wrong
Though my words might bring you only friction
But that is debatable as the night is long.
Views are solid and are unshaken
While evidence is pure and awakened
You might not have faith in my belief
You might object how I enjoy to live my days
What brings joy to others might bring me grief
What bring me sorrow might give you praise.
But then we all sleep when the day is done
And these are not viewpoints, but my opinion.
