By verifiable, I mean provable to other people?

For example, if I were to have a "religious experience inside my head" (note:no drugs involved), would I have to automatically question it by the rules of logic?

1.
Unity is indiscernible if no difference is between nothingness and unity.

2.

|------(1-0)-----|
0<- ----------->1
Nothing-------Unity

The difference between unity and nothingness is as “part, whole, equivalence, uniqueness, limit, link, influence, sensation, origin, derivative, rule, condition, intent, and fulfillment.”

3.
The difference between unity and nothingness is unity
1-0 =1 = Unity
=> Unity is as “part, whole, equivalence, uniqueness, limit, link, influence, sensation, origin, derivative, rule, condition, intent, and fulfillment.”

Is this illogical?

It seems to me, that at the heart of most religeons are 3 things. The first is , make yourself a better person and lead others to better themselves. The second, live your life as you will but respect the laws of nature. the final, this path leads to perfection.

From those 3 things any religeon can be built. Then culture comes in, and with culture - ignorance. Culture adds rules, and twists the words and meaning of those three things to ensure strife, pain, and more ignorance.

My simple question, How could I, or anyone, go about creating a religeon that would not become corrupted by culture or other people's "interpretation"?

any ideas?

Note - I am an atheist. However, I have found that each religeon for all its faults does have some golden bits of wisdom. I'd like to use part of each to give mankind the gift of a peaceful future.

Then why do children need to be taught right from wrong. A room full of children unsupervised is soon chaos.

Why do men with unchecked power soon resort to grievous evil?

Are not all men, left to their own devices and desires, self centered, self serving and self preserving?

Why do some good people have shite for luck all their lives, and why do some evil people have fortune and are able to elude having responsibility for the damage they have done?

Many people seemed to be tired of living bcause of certain problems they bear in their shoulders. I think dead people would exchange lives with those tired of living if only they could just be given the chance to live again. Who do you think is the more fortunate those tired of living or the dead?

after readon his private language argument he basicaly shows that solipsism ans skepticism are false and that they are self refuting, flawed and basurd and impossible.

so with his prvate language arguement proving that there absolutely has to be other minds that are not your own in order to create a language then how is it that solipsism and skepticism is considered irrefutable?

is the ONLY reason its considered "irrefutable" is because we can only experiece ourselves? what i now understand about skepticism is that it is shown to be logicaly impossible but we cant exactly "know" its impossible because because we can only "know" our own experiences. just like you cant "know" that there are monsters that come out once you sleep. but other than that its shown as logicaly inconsistent and self refuting correct?

I have asked quite a few questions and have gotten quite a few answers, but one thing that I can almost always bet on is someone saying that my premise is false and therefore my question is worthless.

But I ask, if the premise is not understood by someone, if the person being asked is too ignorant or arrogant to understand the question, does this suddenly invalidate the question?

The answer must be no, since all things are relative to all people, right? Just because it is not true to one does not mean that it is not true to all, right?

And as such should these who say such things keep this in mind and remain silent, instead of tearing others down?

P.S. I am only talking of non-true/false questions, ones that do not have one single answer. I.E. Is the earth a sphere? Yes. There is no other answer because the earth is a sphere. So do not answer with a comment about some questions having a single answer.

Serious answers only please.

Thanks.

Some of the questions I have posted are:

1. "As a liberal, what do you feel about cousin marriages?"

2. "Do you consider abortion as a form of murder?"

3. "Is abortion a physically painful and extremely expensive procedure?"

The thing is I come from a backward culture & i want to learn about Western culture. So, I ask some of these basic questions. But I hear from some people that my questions do not warrant an answer, much less an intelligent one. What is wrong with my questions? I would like to hear intelligent opinions from people, but all I get are only emotional, close-minded views.

Should I rephrase my questions so that they are more intelligent? I'm sorry because English is not my first language
