ze frank mentions on his site about this article http://www.orgnet.com/divided.html , and how we are bathing in what we already believe. which got me thinking about how incredibly profound this is. it is like each of us are wired to find a direction, and increasingly close our minds to anything that doesn't propagate our own beliefs. with this mode of thinking, we do not, and will not understand each others views except to the point of being able to properly rebuttal them. i know i'm guilty of this. i just wish documentarians, and news reporters weren't so guilty of this. i was reading a recent article by someone that was clearly in opposition of something i believe, and he made it absolutely clear that his article was going to be overtly biased(and actually not even factually correct in many cases). considering all of this, i more and more realize that debate is simply philosophical masturbation. if there is intent to actually change someone's view, there needs to be a personal and impassioned approach.
about 153, 000 people are proven absolute truth everyday. which happens to be the approximate number of deaths everyday.

what does it mean for someone to be 'proven absolute truth'?
i apologize, maybe i should make an edit since i can't assume absolute truth across the board. obviously i can't make the claim that we will definitely know the meaning of life when we die for example; but at least for the contentious issues surrounding the supernatural (ie. life after death, the existence of God, which is the proper religion if any, etc.) there should be no more debate.
