I definitely agree with this stamp,if something is real then what more do people expect to see otherwise. but at the end of the day, everyone is entitled to their views.

To limit yourself to believing in the infinite and unobservable is as stupid as denying it entirely.

I agree, but only partially. Beliefs can do nothing when applied to things which just "exist", although "things" can be interpreted in various ways. I would say that the possibilities of describing something are infinite. You just need to get good statements.

Well, it depends on what "it" is. Some things are effected by the pygmalion effect (or the golem effect), especially people. For instance: when a teacher has high expectations for a student, studies show that student does better in class. Whereas if a teacher has low expectations of a student, they will do poorly.

This has been demonstrated by blind studies in which scientists told teachers that some students had scored well on an aptitude test, while others did not, and still others had scores that indicated they'd do poorly at first, but would "bloom" second semester. In truth, the students hadn't taken any tests at all, and the scientists were assigning their "scores" at random. The majority of the students fulfilled the teachers' expectations (beliefs) even though they weren't based on real test scores.

The point is, belief does make a difference, whether you believe it or not

I don't believe in this stamp.

And I don't believe in this stamp being art. But who am I to say, maybe generic thoughts recycled over and over again on the same background i s art.

I enjoy your work and effort put into making these stamps. But aren't you contradicting 2 of your previous stamps? (As if they didn't already contradict your opinions. "If you can believe in God, Let me believe in unicorns." If it doesn't matter what you believe, then why did you make that statement in the first place? What is your ACTUAL opinion on the topic? (not to mention you did insult christians with that stamp, its blatantly making fun of a religion with millions of followers.)

But thats not the one that bugs me.

"DeviantArt is a wonderful ART site that (sadly) some people use and manage in the wrong way." Not only do you have an account that uses DeviantArt in the wrong way, but it seems like posting the same stamp format over, and over, and over is Art.

I'd for once, like to know your ACTUAL opinion. And I would want you to show me its true by example.
(You can't have a stamp against DeviantArt porn, when you have an account for erotic photos of yourself.)

You're free to express your opinion through stamps, but seriously, this is DeviantART. Emphasis on the "ART." If you're going to continue posting these, (and complain about DeviantArt being about "Art.") at least put some creativity into making them. Trust me, people will respect a nice looking stamp, but these are just becoming more boring stamp cholesterol.





(I like your actual art, post more of that!)

a lot of these stamps are incredibly subjective....
not sure why, but i feel as if you're coming off as overopinionated.

I assume you're talking about god, since... your other stamp mentions him.

I would have to disagree.

Let's say this stamp IS about god, and let's say for the sake of this argument, god is really real. ... If you don't believe in god... you won't go to heaven, yes? So... in reality, it WOULD matter if you believed in him or not, because the alternative would be a place you don't really want to go.

You keep posting these stamps every single day. Why aren't you spending time on your real art? That's much better than these.

Hmm... Yes that is true. Though, most intangible things, such as love or god, you do have to believe in it for it to effect you.

Yeah, I've toubles making people figure this out.

They say: "Oh, but if I believe that blablabla is real, than it's real for me!"

If there's a chair, it exists regardless of what people think about it...
The same works with deities, but people don't get it.
Bhuddists can't be right if Christians are, nor can Muslims be right if Hindus are.
People should always respect others point of view, but they've got to pick one side to be in.
If any religion is right, just one of them can logicaly be real. So people should choose wisely.

Maybe it doesn't matter to whatever's reality is in question, but it matters to YOU. We live our entire lives based on our beliefs. What we choose to believe in defines our actions, our thoughts, our very motives. A man who believes he's got six months to live will act very differently from a man who believes he's got sixty years.
Beliefs DO matter. On the human plane, they matter more than anything else.

Not really. If something exists but is unknown, and no one believes in it, it doesn't really exist until someone knows it exists. Even then, if say one person found out that ghosts existed, didn't tell anyone, and continued to not believe in them, despite personal encounters, they would still not really exist.

In order for something to exist, living things must acknowledge that they exist, or else you can't say that they exist, and therefore they don't exist.

The opposite however is not true. If something really doesn't exist, and people try to acknowledge it's existence, despite not having any proof that it exists, then it simply can not exist. If it exists, one must be able to prove, even to non-believers, that it exists.

Believing in something's existence is another thing altogether, as that is simply having faith that something exists despite one's lack of proof. It is this faith that allows for things that don't exist the possibility of existence.

It's a whole messed up truth.
