Bob, you give me cause for concern. Your remarks send a message that
you are hardening your beliefs in order to prevent anyone from
"dominating" your thoughts. From your words I gather that you firmly
believe that you are in possession of an Absolute Truth. I, on the
other hand, believe that our thoughts are fluid. The Universe is not
absolute. And even those who purport to believe in an absolute God,
demonstrate that their God is not absolute. So why have an open
discussion at all, unless it is in the belief that you can expose us
to your Truth?
On the other hand, please continue your posts. I have learned much
from you. But never confuse this to mean that I have any belief in an
Almighty God or Allah. In fact, lately I've been having a difficult
time maintaining my position that I am an Agnostic. Donald Trump
himself is pushing me closer to Atheism.
Well, I don't really have anything more to add, so please stay safe
and please be true to yourself...not to some made up God.
Yours for a World Peace,
Carl Jarvis

Hello. Please, you may read the following carefully. If you liked it, feel
free to have a conversation about the subject with me.
Relativism is the philosophical doctrine that all criteria of judgment are
relative to the individuals and situations involved. How has this theory
developed? After the emergence of the physical theory of relativity which
promotes that space and time are relative concepts rather than absolute
concepts, many westerns subconsciously reassigned this physical theory to
literary have significant impact on everything of their regular activities.
For instance, what may sound fundamentally right for you doesn't necessarily
have to be so for me. We view concepts as they're relative to our individual
situations. This way of thinking rifely dominated people in the west today.
What are the consequences of this? Well basically, religious beliefs won't
have any substantial role in social arena. This is by which plenty of
illicit relationships are comfortably justified. Similarly, the selling of
unhealthy food, beverages, as of mostly alcoholic and narcotics is justified
through this unethical theory. While the latter is conspicuously notorious
of being insidious, it is somewhat justified for eh, officinal objectives.
Even medicine and its pertained factors, are broadly perverted for
commercial gains. Why am I writing this particularly today? Because I
attempt to unveil the major threat of unconsciously attempting to just
imitate everything brought from the west. We have got to think properly.
Now, some may ask, why am I using a pseudonym instead of my actual name?
Well, to just keep those who don't know noticed, my name is Mostafa Almahdy.
When expending this account, I purposely use the pseudonym, Bob Evans. I
currently reside in Cairo, Egypt. The thought of using a pseudonym crossed
my mind after briefly working for a call centre, mainly serveing US seniors
through offering and perhaps, selling Medicare services through the
telephone. Well, I did not work for sales to be honest. I just worked as a
rep for Medicare, engaging with US seniors and dr. offices. In this job, we
were obliged to have a pseudonym that is naturally sounding American or
Hispanic. Well, I chose this, Bob Evans. After quitting this job, I just
thought like this. Hmm, well, what has this pseudonym affected my character
with? To be perfectly fair, absolutely nothing. It has zero affect on me.
Well, what is the problem if I used this pseudonym to communicate with
people abroad for essentially discussing and quite possibly, debating
purposes? No problem at all. So, going forward, I destined to use this
pseudonym here. With this in mind, I wish to convey the subsequent sentiment
figuratively. If you change your outward elements for whatever purposes and
your essence stiffly maintains its status, your identity won't be
jeopardised. So, I may buy western food, clothes, sophisticated tech gadgets
and even go by a name that is obviously western but, my heritage and
identity won't ever be changed. This is the core of my post today. I am
sufficiently aware of what is occurring around me. I may eat what a western
would typically eat for breakfast or dinner but, I won't allow him to
dominate my mind with his own thoughts. Well, this in my opinion, is the
practical implementation of intellectual liberty. I am free to think the
manner I deem appropriate. My general atmosphere shouldn't encounter any
potential change. If this is critically guaranteed, I wouldn't mind keenly
collaborating with western thinkers in whatever benefits mass human
species.
Thank you for attentively reading and
hopefully, pondering.
Bob Evans
