    Default Multiple choice - do I debate like NF or NT ...

    Like, I will say something seriously intellectual and then other people will think it is a funny argument or what I say is incoherent. I really do not feel like people follow my logic much at all or understand where I am coming from most of the time, or just sort of blow me off.

    For example, I write alot about diffrent religions and how the relate to each other. In one of the links Niffweed thought what I said was silly. I can not really tell whether that was just his opinion of the matter or that I am for the most part silly with my logic. Maybe both?

    Check out the links below for examples of what I mean ...

    in terms of the actual construction of your argument, i dont have enough knowledge of any of the religions to evaluate it.

    however, the nature of the argument was totally ridiculous and it seems pretty clear to me that all of the abrahamic religions, at least, have facets of both ethical functions while entirely lacking logic. thus to confine them to a particular quadra or type is absurd.

    I see what you mean and sort of saw the same, but I've also studied alot about religion [it was my major in college for 3 years] and it is hard for me not to see the parallels. It is blatently clear that Christianity/Judaism are sensory-ethical religions and Eastern religions are all intuitive-ethical. From that consideration, it should be easier to make further deductions [Christianity is more because, Judaism is more because, Buddism is more because, etc.].

    the only one of those that i agree with at all is the idea that eastern religions such as buddhism or taoism definitely take an Ni quality.

    To answer the question, I think you use Ne to argue your Fi values. Sometimes it's just pure Fi.

    It is true, but you need to be able to contrast how the people in the religions view the world. Say that a Buddhist and a Christian are standing next to oneanother, and they see a homosexual dressed as a woman [this is the most understandable example I can think of to describe this]. The Christian will say that the man is a sinner because he was born a man [has male genitals], and therefore should be attracted to women. The Buddist will say that the man has homosexual tendencies [and that he has male genitals does not matter since he will reincarnate into another body], and that it he is suffering from the effects of promoscuity in his last lifethat have been passed into this life [cheated on his wife in a past life], and that he must make the right choices in this life in order to improve the next life.

    Now, would you not say that it is rather obvious by religious definition that that Christian is judging the homosexual as a sinner by his objective physical circumstances and the Buddist by the subjective abstract qualities of his perdiciment? ... seems obviously an versus contrast to me ...

    both of those explanations are so blatantly stupid that theres no reason to even apply them to any sort of function except lack of logic.

    See ... right here ... it is clear as day to me where the exact parallels are, but not always to everyone else.

    Ok, how about this ... if what I wrote is not based on logic ... is it based on common relationships?

    I think you argue things by looking for similarities between things. I also think you get annoyed when people point out that your arguments are not based on logic. Also, you reek of Fi. This is not a put-down as I too reek of Fi.

    I would say that your arguments carry a lot of implications to them, and that you see many implications, that you try to describe or state what you see, but do not always do well in making them explicit. Based on this I would say the argument style is N or F.

    You do tend to argue over abstract concepts (like religion), however you also seem to quickly jump into being involved. It's like, your very involved (emotionally, identifying?) in your arguments, even though they are about abstract comments.

    Based on that, I'll have to go with an NF style of arguing.

    Of course, I tend not to read much of the arguing and debates that go on around here, so what I am basing my thoughts on are probably a small set of samples, around concepts i find of interest. As such, my thoughts are already biased.

    And another thing, I really do not have a complex about being called stupid [on the contrary I am usually considered intelligent] ... though I hate it when people say that I am not in reality, and make moronic judgements on my character based just on that. I do get annoyed when people either say that I am stupid or that I am not in reality.

    Couldn't you tie another function to Buddhism like that too though, for example you could say that thinking every action in the present has inevitable results in the future is pretty .

    At the core of Buddhism lies the path to enlightenment. The Buddha described the basic techniques through which to reach a pretty abstract future goal. Through observation of inner mental processes the practioner over time brings about biological changes in the brain (I don't know the details but basically in the end the part of the brain that produces the sense of a separate self stops its activity). Of course Buddhism is also about morality etc, but the core is very IMHO.

    From your posts, I can sense strong rather than anything else. The posts in that thread don't really allow the opportunity to be based on common relatationships, it was quite a 'far out' topic, but your other posts, I don't really know .

    I used to think you were INFj but now I think you're ENFp.

    Looking at your past posts, I don't see strong , or at least I see strong such as when you were joking early about how much ammunition cost. I usually associate that sort of creative writing with , perhaps wrongly. But that post also shows that probably isn't your primary function , but if Morrissey (possible INFj) can threaten violence against meat eaters every week then who knows? I basically agree with SlackerMum and think you have Delta values and are probably ENFp. But I don't really have any expertise at anything .

    EDIT: You actually made one reference to ammunition and another to a machine gun in the space of 14 minutes , so hopefully I'm not in your bad books.

    Christianity [early platonic Christianity, not modern evangelical] and Buddhism both are very much into an 'inner spirituality' ... however, Buddism is actually closer to for the simple fact that it is insignifigant whether a person believes in God, and if a God or Gods exist, they must follow natural law [this is not atheism, some think it is but it isn't]. Hence, Buddism believes that any number of religions contain truth. Christianity is more about preservation of the past and lineage to the prophets or apostles, while only believing in the new testament God.

    The other stuff about Budda I think you were making a reference to 'samskarma' ... since Buddhism is anti-metaphysical, it makes sense to say that.

    I use to be a vegitarian and I do not usually threaten people who eat meat. However, I do entirely disdain alcohol and tend to avoid places where people use alcohol ...

    Ohh yeah, I also hate party types and whenever I see a party going on the first things that comes into my mind is something like "Wow! Great place to lob a hand-grenade!" ... though I usually just leave rather quickly.

    Right. Erm, shit. I don't like alcohol either .

    I hope by this you mean sometimes you don't leave quickly, rather than you occasionly throw hand grenades at 'innocent' bystanders...

    No, it means that I usually do not have access to any hand grenades when they probably would come in handy ... *not that I actually go out of my way to obtain hand-granades, I do go out of my way to avoid partiers* ... I am joking :wink: ...

    There is actually both a samskarma and samskara, but I always get the two confused since they are similar.

    , your post is a good example of your strong logic, or wordplay or something.

    And what about all that stuff about guns? Bionicgoat may have provoked you by wishing to murder his neighbours, but still, I find it hard to believe that you have non 'tendencies'.

    I enjoy provoking Mcnew usually he stays away from my topics though since they can get a bit silly. I've noticed though that when he does comment on my posts I tend to bring out his own sillyness. If I had to guess at a type (which I'm not very good at) I'd say it's 50/50 for ENFp/INFj. I see things in Mcnew which very much remind me of myself, but at the same time there are huge differences between us. Perhaps it's type, perhaps it's differences in life experiences.
