if fletcher can't tell a lie then fletcher should have used his curse to


answer lifes questions

if he can't lie for any reason even if he himself doesn't know its a lie then asking a question such as
is time travel possible? he would then answer yes or no. said answer would be correct

is there a god? yes or no


etc etc etc.

have him right down an equation for limitless green energy etc etc

reply

He can't tell the truth or lie if he doesn't know the answer. He could just say I don't know and thats the double truth ruth

This is correct. He can't use the 'wish' (it's not a curse, it's a wish) to gain information or knowledge.

He just lacks ability, he didn't gain an ability.

Lying is the deliberate expression of something the expresser knows (or thinks, maybe even falsely) is not true. Lying is a form of deliberate deception, it's not about information, or whether something is true or not. It's about deceiving other people by manipulating them by expressing something that is known to be not true.

If Fletcher doesn't know the answer, and he must tell the truth, the only thing that would happen is that he would tell he doesn't know, as captain here mentioned.

Besides, what would he have gained in learning that info? Plenty of people know the answers to those questions, and it doesn't help them any.

And you mean 'write', not 'right'.

Also, please learn to write capital letters and punctuation.

Energy isn't of any color, by the way (or it can express many colors - the japanese have assigned the color 'yellow' as the color of energy) - energy is energy. I know what you mean by 'green' (ecology thing, right?), but the way you say it just sounds a bit goofy.

Time travel : of course it's possible, we're doing it all the time. If we couldn't travel in time, everything would be frozen, and nothing could ever happen. Time isn't a line, as people seem to think, but it's a bit more shapeless, more 'holographic' (for the lack of a better word), and less 'set'. Even in quantum level, 'time travel', knowledge of the future, etc. seems to be the norm, rather than the exception.

Is there a God (please use proper punctuation at least here)?

Yes, there is a word 'God'. There is also an idea that's associated with that word.

I'd rather not use that word to refer to anything that actually exists as an entity, because of so much blood that has been shed in the name of that word, plus it's so rigid, and dogmatic religions basically own that word.

The Creator of the Universe is extremely CREATIVE, so why shouldn't we also be, when thinking about and addressing Him?

How about the Omnipotent Universe, the Great Unnamed, the Creativional Energy Omnipresence, etc.?

You don't have to like my ideas, but my point is that we can use our creativity, when we refer to the most creative force in existence, instead of using such rigid terminology.

So, yes, the Divine Father that created us all, does exist, as a vibration with intelligence, to define it in one way.

As far as 'limitless' energy (why use a negative word, like that, instead of something positive, like 'abundant' or 'enough'?) goes, there have been PLENTY of people that have already achieved such energy production, but they've been mostly suppressed by powerful oil cartels, governments, and so on and so forth.

From Nikola Tesla to Tom Bearden to Bedini to zillions of others, they have discovered, told people and explained how to get as much free energy as is ever needed.

This moden 'society' didn't listen. But this is starting to be an essay of another topic.
