I would give "peas a chance" and John Lennon would be there to sing its praises. So the peas are the deciding factor; blindfolded and cooking themselves in self righteous splendor.
Well, the answer to the roan is THE PEAS ULTIMATELY WIN, regardless of tastyness or they accidently skorched themselves. They are the subject of the arbitration and the hater human, lover human become adjutant spectators to the PEA condition. Its all about the veg anyway, and its redemption/power foothold in the marketplace (forget the children dynamic as they probably don't like mustard or cousin bean Black Eyed Peas).
vethumanbeing
I work occasionally for Uriah Heep (hourly 450lb), he took over the business you know. I like your jury choice, mine would be these:
Osirus, Shakespeare, Anu, Jonathan Swift, Pacal Votan, Voltaire.

Man, you really took care of that roan, single handedly. No roan is too big, to escape the mighty clutches of The VET. You observed, you contemplated, you remained Neutral lol, and then you saw right to heart of the matter, never once getting side tracked or bogged down, with the paralysis of analysis. If only there were more like you, the mysteries of the universe would be solved at a glance, rather than months of study.
Here endith the sarcasm…lol

Most mere mortals, go up on a mountain top (without even 2 peas to rub together), meditate for about a month, and then come back down, with the answer. Seems like you kinda skipped that part.

I like your choices too, although didn’t Pacal Votan get the dates wrong…it’s 2013, and where still here!!!…And as for, Osirus and Anu, they weren’t even human, (not even sure, how they would fit into the “jury of my peers” category. Although, in your illustrious case; who knows) they were most likely, anthropomorphized Gods, created by humans.Funny how wikipedia page says Osirus green skin, was meant to symbolize re-birth. Of course! How could I miss that one lol… - JC

Oh, you wanted a jury of YOUR PEERS, and Socrates, Mohammed, Jesus, Confusious, Buddha, Plato realistically fits the voir dire process for my lawyer 'Daniel Webster' for you? (whos your lawyer BTW).
Who would be your pick of 4 alternates?

Pacal Votan has the most memorable (and vitalily important) sarcophicus lid EVER DESIGNED.

Lawyers hmmm OMG, my best defenders are already on the jury, talk about shooting oneself in the foot…Ok, lets me see now…I’d go with these 4…
(1) Abraham Lincoln
(2) Martin Luther
(3) Winston Churchill
(4) Sir Walter Scott- JC

Sorry, I completely missed this part, rushed my last reply…what's so vitally important about the design of a sarcophagus lid lol ?I mean, it’s hardly on par with highly advanced battery/power system, hiding within some ancient artefact, yet to be discovered.I’m all ears…

You picked your alternate jury members and it still remains for you to name your lawyer (main council).
As you got first pick (even though you chose a very desirable peer group) you left me the advange.
vethumanbeing
My alternates: Herodidus, Walt Disney, The Jolly Green Giant, and last; the (pea-nut butter eater) Mr. Ed the Talking Horse of course of course.
You know who my council is, we agreed on the jury selection (even if a never concieved before eight alternates). You have the advantage in choosing your lawyer and God fakir is not in the equation (the answer should be obvious).

It appears that Churchill, although a great leader, did not believe in a God, so unfortunately he will not be chosen as my defendant on this occasion. And Sir Walter Scott has too much of a connection with a craft or fraternity, which would give me too much, of an unfair advantage, therefore I will decline him.
Which only leaves me with 2 other options left. As for Abraham Lincoln although a believer in a God, and not a member of any fraternities, he didn’t have to face death, at the hands of a ranging mob, bent on controlling the masses, forever, so Martin Luther! it shall be. (1) Martin Luther.

Lincoln was a lawyer that would have been a good choice. Churchill did believe in a (the God) that provided him a 5th a day canard/flagon/flask of Brandy. Walter Scott of the literary variety. Martin Luther as your lawyer.
vethumanbeing
You got part of your lawyers name right, Luther/Lucifer. I have a chance here as Webster won against the Devil once before and has the advantage. Lucifer and the Devil are not the same individual, maybe sibling rivals.

Those names aren’t even close, and Lucifer didn’t even have a first name. Appearances can be deceptive, Lucifer rejected Jesus and Martin Luther accepted him…can’t judge a book by it’s cover…

Anyway, I hate to be stickler and all, but just what exactly am I being tried for again…avoiding the Neutral Zone…?
BTW- this would make one heck of a movie; Similar to Bill and Teds adventure meets Daniel Webster and the Devil, meets A matter of life an death…

You are at least patient, and a movie based upon the supposition a PEA has sentience and should be allowed to exist (dispite its naysayers) would be hilarious, (contact the Cohen Brothers) forget writing a new 'Epistle' write a screenplay (though it seems they did this already with 'Raising Arizona', 'Fargo', 'Blood Simple', "Where For Out Thou", and another independent film not affilated, "The Great Milagro Bean Field War".

The funny aspect of the movie would be the interactions between those awesome jury members, and naturally Daniel Webster vs Martin Lurther. I guess Webster would discuss how he was a member of an Orthodox Protestant Church, which Luther helped to establish, a few centuries before he (Webster) was even born.
joecroft
Plato would discuss cause and effect, and Aristotle, would state his case for his domino principal, and Jesus would agree with them both. Although I think Hollywood would require a debate far greater, than that of a peas existence!; we all know what happened to the princess, she discovered the pea, and married the Prince.
joecroft
The point of my roan, was to do with experiencing something, in order to know it. One has to experience the taste of the pea, in order to make a decision. How can you reflect that, which you do not know…i.e. No knowldege of the pea, other than knowing that 2 differring decisions were made on it’s behalf (the peas), for reasons unbeknown to you.- JC
vethumanbeing
So, what is your experience with God, in order to know it?
Joecroft
"One has to experience the taste of the pea/god, in order to make a decision".
vethumanbeing
How can you?

a pea is tangible and made of consumptive matter, God is the IDEA of the PEA, the pea WAS ALWAYS just a metaphor for God.

What a funny question;
If you’ve experienced God, then you already know it, due too the experience itself… It’s only the not experiencing, which would appear to keep you in the Neutral Zone…

JoeCroft
Now your starting to ask the student (Me) the right questions.
Yes, the pea is tangible and can be easily experienced etc…
But God on the other is not easily as perceivable, so the question naturally arises, how does one experience God?
It’s like a paradox…
“You need to experience God in order to know what God is, and yet you need to know what God is, in order seek/go and experience God.”, (Joe Croft)
Can you see the solution…? lol- JC

How do I experience God/Creator? I just have to accept myself as IT and all falls naturally into place (the understanding I may be the whole of it human, I may be a partical, but IAM it whether I like IT or not).

I’m sure you do, And I never said you didn’t; note the word “appear” above, in my original statement.
When the word appear, appears, make note of it’s appearance! To many matrices, blocking your view perhaps lol[

I was once asked by girl what my favourite fairy tale was, and I replied “The Princess and Pea” And she replied, “oh well, I’ll be the Princess, and you can be the pea lol”
It’s cruel world out there, I tell ya!
joecroft
But, I digress…Getting back to the point…The Neutral Zone perspective experience, is just as valid as the others, but beneath the surface (some 22 to 33 matrices, give or take) as we both know, lies the pea of truth, just waiting to be discovered and become known.

vethumanbeing
Who would have been the Judge...good question; CEO Dow Chemicals "Ortho" Lawn and Garden Products Division, not only promoting the health of your peas, but the destruction of unsightly (getting in the way of war) vegetation, Agent Orange. A fair judge, do you not think?

Joecroft
Its funny how our conversation has come full circle. We started off discussing biasness, and its affiliations with atheism, agnosticism, and theism, and how this ties into the analogy of God representing a Pea. We then created a potential courtroom drama, of Biblical proportions, to help solve the issue, and prove the Peas existence, once and for ALL, and somehow save my soul (not sure how my soul got dragged into it). And now you want to go with the most biased Judge available lol
Joecroft
Perhaps there’s a method in your madness, who knows, wouldn’t want to be the first to judge it, with any negative biasness, without knowing the full details.
Joecroft
But to make the case a fair one, we should go with a judge who lives in the Neutral Zone. Perhaps, maybe, even the greatest Agnostic thinker in history. Someone who is truly undecided, through and through, (whatever that means).
vethumanbeing
This is the genious of two ordinary concentrated/focused minds metting something out; and that something is huge at first glance, but as the focus narrows becomes easy as its inherent simplicity reveals itself. Great fun for me! Choosing the CEO of Dow Chemical, I thought we could pursuade it, corrupt it somehow in a potencial faulty judgement to the good; as in trick it.

I had an earlier exchange with myself today, in which I envisioned this: I am approaching an idea (one that is half formed or in need of definition) and I am visualizing myself (metaphorically) as the collector of insect specimans (the idea). I have my mounting board in place, my needle poised to stab the abdomen (base thought); if I can convince the IDEA to HOLD STILL, (without chloroforming it thus adding bias) I pierce it stick it cleanly and it is forever preserved for those who can stomach/look at it. I see all posts to this forum as being idea forms 'caught' and 'pinned' and preserved for all antiquity. This is a virtual library.
vethumanbeing
A judge living in the neutral zone that is the greatest or most powerful/influencial agnostic thinker ever (this is something Ive never looked into). Agnostic meaning, unbeliever of messiah/teacher figures or the Whole God thing? Carl Jung, or Freud, Tolstoy, Carl Sagan, (think he had a change of heart on his deathbed). Not Hitler but would provide Even More Drama in the courtroom.

Yes, agnostic meaning undecided if there’s a creator, of any description. Which kind of cancels down to unbelief, of the agnostic variety.As far as I can gather, from researching possible candidates, only Bertrand Russell, would be the best challenge IMHO. Just a shame he didn’t use a use a pea instead of a teapot, in his famous, agnostic algorithm.- JC
