Apollodorus

Well, we aren't even out of the pandemic situation yet. So it's all very much in the air at the moment. God only knows what's coming our way next.

Just what I said. Something must have upset him. I wonder what it was:

That was exactly what I said. Point 2 of my proposal says: So, we agree at least on that point. But, as I said, it doesn't matter. I see no point in a...

Indigenous populations, maybe. But chances are they will be replaced with non-Europeans especially Africans once they've run out of water or other res...

It was supposed to be a joke. But we might be eating scientists instead, who knows?

Well, the West is in decline in demographic terms to begin with. And as Western culture is apparently being replaced with multiculturalism, probably i...

I don't think I was "defending" anything. On the contrary, it was a suggestion of how to achieve peace. But if you aren't interested in peace, that's ...

I think there is tyrant alright but he is hiding behind Big Bucks, Big Tech, the Media, and George Soros.

But not before throwing a few invectives into it, just in case things don't go quite the way he wants them to, and then taking cover behind his suppos...

Of course there are. And have been for a long time. No one is disputing that. It's just a matter of identifying the right ones according to one's own ...

I don't think I was being defeatist. The way I see it, philosophy does have or should have an interest in politics. For, example, what if a new or exi...

I don't think anyone disputed that. The quote or citation was simply to show that some leading physicists are inclined to accept the possibility of ma...

Thanks for the quote. Yes, I suppose a lot of physicists would be prepared to go along with that. And, possibly, a few neuroscientists too. But, as I ...

Yes, but if you have neither 1 nor 2 then there is nothing you can do. There will be no social upheaval/discontent because the state will find ways of...

I think Max Planck said that matter is a derivative of consciousness. Logically, you probably could make a good argument for it. The problem is how to...

Correct. But suppose we decide we don't want statism. That won't take us very far if we have no knowledge or ability to resist.

Do you mean like Trump's Capitol insurrection or something bigger?

Yes, liberalism is a strange thing. It’s supposed to generate liberty or freedom but more often than not the opposite seems to be the case. Correct. N...

When reading Platonic texts translated into English or some other modern language, it is easy to forget that what we are reading is just an approximat...

Maybe we are God on a higher level, as some monistic traditions claim. And as implied in the OP title.

Yes. Different scientists seem to interpret the same data differently. But it's interesting to see the shift in the way the issue is being reported. I...

... if not impossible.

Gain of function research seems to now be the central argument. Even leftist papers like the Guardian are now beginning to concede (1) that they may b...

1. WHO reports have suggested that the first Covid-19 infections may have occurred in November 2019 "The virus could have been introduced into the hum...

True. However, just as interesting is considering who desperately wants it not to be true and why. China would be one possible answer that comes to mi...

Overthrowing capitalism is easier said than done. Everyone can criticize but few can offer workable solutions. "Real democracy" remains a mystery, lik...

British intelligence or at least former bosses have always viewed the lab scenario as realistic. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/asia/coronav...

I think the main problem is that there are too many different views and too little time to test them. There are views held in common and views held in...

The OP is indeed about the Trinity. But you decided to butt in and insert weasel words about Jesus not being the Son of God, etc. after which you addu...

If you are not trying to prove anything, then what are you trying to prove with your comments? 1. Ehrman regards Acts as a forgery because he sees con...

These are Ehrman’s own words: “In my book, I do describe the whole range of motives for producing forgeries. Today profit is the most prominent motive...

Not at all. The article says: "Falsely attributed writings are often referred to as "pseudepigraphs" but Ehrman maintains that the more honest term is...

You haven't given me a chance because you keep frantically posting comments as if that's going to somehow "save" you. Anyway, Ehrman is your “eminent ...

1. Using non-existent statements from Mark, Matthew and Luke does not prove your claim. 2. Why would anyone forge four different scriptures instead of...

Each Gospel is a collection of different eye-witness reports, hence the difference between them. If they had been forgeries, there would have been jus...

Here is your own statement: 1. You have zero evidence to support that statement. 2. You can’t use the Gospels as evidence (a) because there is nothing...

lol You do make me laugh, to be honest. If I were you, I would be quiet and just retire gracefully. 1. You claimed that Jesus did not call himself the...

Correct. @Fooloso4 uses irrational arguments and totally contradicts himself. 1. He is quoting Ehrman who claims that the Gospels are "forgeries". 2. ...

Since you mentioned the 1970s oil crisis, I thought you might want to know how that came about. Oil at the time was controlled by four major players: ...

From the early 1900s, leading international bankers and industrialists, together with their Fabian collaborators, had been planning to overthrow the C...

Okay, you got me, its Bart not Bert. You are still avoiding the issues. I'm not avoiding anything. There are no issues to discuss and as I've demonstr...

It is true that some Christians employ unwarranted methods to prove their point. But the "rationalists" don't really critique Christian beliefs, they ...

You are avoiding the issue again, aren't you? This is your own statement, is it not? People do make typos, but if I have to tell you 5 or 6 times that...

He doesn't believe in reason at all. He believes in skewed reason or lies to promote his hidden agenda. In actual fact, he is being unreasonable and i...

That was exactly what I said. He isn't quoting the Bible he talks about his own misconstructions of Biblical statements. Surely, you can distinguish o...

For the third time, you misspelled Ehrman's name. Edit Here's your statement: Besides, @god must be atheist claims that you are quoting the Bible. I h...

No Ehrman is not. It is the bible itself. You were fooled by your own idiocy. I think you were fooled by your idiocy. At no point has Fooloso4 referre...

Well, that only proves that you don't have a clue. There was no offence intended, it was a statement of fact which you yourself now admit. I do realiz...

As usual with your statements, there is no logic there whatsoever. I haven't, you have. Look again or get you eyesight checked. Here's your statement:...

First of all, you can’t even spell Ehrman’s name. Second, Ehrman is only “eminent” to atheists and anti-Christians like yourself. The truth of the mat...
