THE DAILY HOOT

Feel free to call me WOO. I am known as the one with ears so sharp, some believe I can see in the dark. I am always pleased to share my latest HOOT with anyone interested. Here it is:

Sitting in my favourite tree just before dawn last weekend, I heard Bryan the lion, attempting to have a conversation with someone.

At first, it sounded like a friendly dialogue, with a turtle no less, whose only means of communication it seems is a form of mental telepathy.

At first, things seemed to go quite well. But, eventually things got so heated that what started off as a conversation became a debate of the "you-are-wrong-and-I-am-right" kind. More than that, it became a a noisy argument.

PROVIDE YOUR BLOODY DEFINITION OF THE WORD [God?].

This isn't rocket science, you know. (And) whining that my definition doesn't work for you gets us no closer to any meaningful discussion.

No

it would be impossible to speak of God if you don't have an open door to the reality of God since you don't accept God as a word or subject of reality.

This is a false equivalence. I don't have to believe in a thing - or a possibility of a thing - to discuss it. Anything which can be conceptualized can be discussed. You, however, refuse to allow any form of conceptualization (i.e. a definition within which we can work) and ergo, a discussion is pointless.

"Pointless?" Bryan. Of course it is! What else can be expected from a voiceless Turtle. However, all is not lost. For me at least it provides material for one of my daily HOOTS!
