Its the philosophy sprouted from the mysticism which pertains to a certain universal fundamental. Its not mysticism (which is no philosophy), but a mystic philosophy.
This only is correcting my incorrect use of the word mysticism! Your mystic philosophy does not qualify as obscurantism from what you're saying, so, where is the obscurantism in your case!

I've already stated that the obscurantism definition you are using is the not the one I am referring too.

Then what is this definition? You could help by defining your beliefs, as I have not read the first topic!

I would define it as a form of mystical philosophy where as the one distinct feature is not always God, but to show you were the point of the title Obscurantism is, is that it focus on "confusion".

Then you cannot call yourself an obscurantist, since you are only using it in the context of the word 'obscure'. The actual title is not applicable in this situation!
It's like saying when somebody is cynical about their beliefs, they are a cynicist!

What do you think is going through the mind of people when they do such retarded things.
Why do people insult themselves.
Ex. Hershey.
As I flipped through all page 1 topics in the forums, pretty much all you do is retarded things

Okay, that just proves that you have no idea what you are talking about. Which didn't surprise me a bit.

No further questions.

Only anime shows I've felt any interest in over the years are Pokemon (original TV series) and various hentai.
so clearly jgrp is a goddamn anime connoisseur. his opinion might as well be law here.
