To not believe in God is not to be hollow, but to be liberated. Those of us so liberated are free to follow our own moral compass rather than the dated and irrelevant rambling of long dead prophets and fanatics. But do you know what is even more liberating, being tolerant of others beliefs or lack thereof.
J. Hudson's commercial version of this song doesn't do it much justice. I doubt the youngings of today r even aware that its a snippet from the GREAT L. Kravitz. Luv the melody & lyrics, great message...Kravitz never disappoints!
@danzig159 Don't take it too personal mate and do try to cheer up.Why is that people who claim to be so fulfilled "appear" to be the most miserable?Of course this is only apparent.
@mrrex35 I never claimed "to be so fulfilled", I asked you how it feels to have nothing inside you. Life is what it is, there are plenty people suffering that believe in God, and there are plenty people not suffering that believe in God. No one said God is gonna come into your life and make it all better - that type of thinking is suprstition. But I can't undestand how people can look around at everything there is and think there isn't a thinker behind all existence, like it happened by accident
@danzig159 You're not the brightest bulb on the tree are you?Who said anything about existence coming about by accident?If then you CLAIM I have nothing inside of me that would mean(you are CLAIMING INDIRECTLY)you are fulfilled.Now do you get the assertion?I highly recommend that you go and have yourself a coke and a smile.
@mrrex35 If existence didn't have anyone behind it, then it happened by accident, with no reason. If it wasn't an accident then there is a God, a divine thinker, an unmoved mover, a creator. As for "CLAIMING INDIRECTLY" that I am fulfilled, you are INCORRECT lol, I simply acknowledged your void and asked how it feels. I mean, how do you know that I don't also have a void, know how it feels, and don't just want to know if it feels the same way for you? You don't. I am direct, not indirect.
@danzig159 Do you mean "someone" or "something?" is behind all of this splendor?Explain void in reference to your "slander" by your interpretation not to overshoot our personal understandings in these contexts?
@mrrex35 Some one, is some thing, is it not? I'm sure it is. Void means emptiness, and I detect no slander since, to be exact, there has been no oral defamation as denoted by the word. Nor do I detect any libel, which would be the correct term in the instance of written defamation. When a statement, such as the one about you being empty on the insde, is true, there is no libel in it. And for anyone who thinks there is no God, nothing else can be more true. The Godless are hollow fools.
@danzig159 You've made a crucial error.Some-one is referring to a person that is assigned to a particular gender.Male or female.Which one is god?Your attempts of "humor" are nothing less than pitiful.The mark of an intellectual is wit not mockery or sarcasm.You are nothing more than a sophist/idealist,a Heraclitus,nothing more,nothing less.Now let's get back on track - Your "creator" was "someone," a mere mortal,is this correct?If not,explain this deity of yours.
@danzig159 You stated "someone" remember?Enough of that.Let's move on.Explain creation as best you can and simplify it for a layman if you will.Thank you.
@danzig159 CLUE:The Greeks taught us to use it?This is where you will learn the difference between horizontal and vertical learning;to find the virtue between the excessive and the defective.What did the Greeks teach us to use?If you cannot explain creation then give me a description of pre-existing potentiality.What is the source of your knowledge that has brought you to the conclusion that before "is" there "was" and "is to come"?
@mrrex35 That is a question for the scientists, it is they who believe that before "is", there "was, and "is to come". According to their belief, the universe and all existence came into existence when something smaller than an atom exploded. However, the Unmoved Mover is exactly that: Unmoved, has existed infinitely and will infinitely exist. "Was" and "is to come" exist only for transient beings. And virtue is the mean which lies between excess and defect. Aristotle was a great philosopher.
@danzig159 Even though we are still not on the same frequency,at least we both agree on something.Aristotle was indeed,I think,the Polar Star of all philosophers.His philosophy was simple,realistic and perennial.Exempli gratia ~ "In order for a truth to exist it must at least be possible.A squared circle is false as it is impossible."St Thomas Aquinas used this as his tool[to perfection]to reconcile Christian doctrine and bring light to Dogmatic Theology/Religious Science.
@danzig159 To study Sub-Stratum back in his day,I think,was a feat in itself.Word of advice - don't bee too hard on people who don't share the same views as you.The first and most important law of existence is,that life is precious.We as a whole no longer value life because we are no longer taught that in every person is an image of God.Now we are simply objects and objects are to be used?It's been good chatting with you.
@bailyvideos Her version is so bad I didn't even recognize it after hearing the commercial about 5 times.. I wasn't until I listened to the words and realized they were familiar. lol
Yup. My favorite Lenny Kravitz song. Love the philosophy behind it, the melody, and yes the solo. Shortly after this was released the guitar solo trend in songs died. RIP :'-(
Always have loved this song, but never seen the video. This is not how I would have pictured the video, it really doesn't go well with the tune at all.
From time mark 2:56 forever sweet. You blew the Cult away back when you opened for them in Montreal. Please go back to the old ways. The only thing modern that doesn't suck is Jessie J's Perice Tag. She'll eventually sell out too (if she hasn't already).
Best guitar solo of the modern era. I used to play it (the solo) over & over & over again. Why did you sell out Lenny? Everything after & including Black Velvetenn is shite.
....´cause is all just a game....we just want to be loved......BELIEVE IN YOURSELF!!...you couldn´t say it better!!
