    I think humans over estimate their own intelligence. Our damn egos often make us forget we too have animal instincts and they are quite useful.

      Please do not use the Archaic term referring to a fictitious netherworld.

      Why are you introducing Archaic religious concepts, where they do not belong?

        okay...how about

        "Our symbolically, figuratively, allegorically, and/or metaphorically condemned egos make us forget..."

        I thought the word "damn" summed it up nicely but you don't seem to understand the power of symbols much. They can be quite useful in conveying a thought or concept.

        Step down off of your archaic soapbox, I do believe the wood is rotten.

          Old Dreadful.

          Antiquated.

          Absolutely, yes you can continue to kill one another over your Archaic useless power symbol.

            Warning john spartan, ten demerits second warning. Excessive use of the word "archaic"
            Boring the community with vain repetition. Please come up with new material, although I have no room to talk...

            Useless? You do have a penchant for redundancy which can be argued as useless repetition of words or thoughts. However you are the one who just attached "power" to the symbol, not me. So clearly you are guilty of being archaic by your own definition.

            And I see no death caused by my use of a word that most people will understand was a figurative term, and not literal...or am I giving them too much credit? Perhaps I'm giving you too much credit?

              Wait just one minute.
              I am not the curator of the power symbol.
              You did do this, "to understand the power of symbols", then blame me for your own contravention.

              Because you don't see something happening, doesn't necessarily mean that it isn't happening.
              Excuses, excuses. Yes, you might have used this term figuratively, but what you are doing is reinforcing these beliefs in others, some of who, might take these things quite literally.
              In fact, there are people, right now, killing or planning to kill other people over these same types of meaningless beliefs.
