What you miss to understand is that as to "endure" all these a priori questions we have and "embody" them, as you say, we humans NEED a personal cosmo...

Exactly.

That's cause it triggers our a priori transcedental need. And the feeling coming from that is indeed overwhelming. Happens to me also.

So true.

Of course it isn't. And that's why I never mentioned that philosophy and religion serve exact the same purpose.Nor that philosophy can replace religio...

It isn't defense. It was just observation since it was obvious the reason for you asking that kind of thing. I still can't understand why you say that...

Cause imo there is one. In fact not parallel but many crossovers between them. But surely aren't the same. I agree that religion tries to give answers...

It's Ok.

There is indeed.

Some aren't though. I care about the personal part in that case only. The private inner questions they make to themselves. It does indeed. But I didn'...

I don't get your point. First people have the questions on their own a priory and after they seek the answers. Some turn in religions for answers. Rel...

Is it somehow relevant to our discussion?Will it make any difference? You think it would help or you will get more prejudiced? Answer me that first.

I mentioned questions, not religion questions. Existential questions. And I can't understand how you can disagree with that. Isn't the question "what ...

Excellent.

I don't have anything to disagree about your post except maybe only that. For me, of course we can't consider that philosophy can be an absolute subst...

It's only your opinion. After thousands of years you can never be sure of what humanity will achieve.

In fact i said "theists would be radically reduced" and it is only my opinion of what would happen if humanity reach to immortality. Not that I have a...

How can you be sure about that? At the past years what science achieved sounded like "fairytale" also. Not fundamentalist at all. The strange thing is...

Not sure how could be done. I could only guess by finding the answers for how the whole universe works and its purpose(if there is actually one). Or m...

For me surely philosophy involves that too and I mentioned it since it's the specific issue of being discussed at this thread.At what degree can be a ...

Well for me philosophical thinking is better indeed since gives you a deeper realization of morals and the actual reasons for acting "good" in societi...

True but isn't that normal? At the end aren't religions only human inventions? So of course these morals were taken from nature, reasoning, social ben...

Whatever gives a happy feeling inside you. That's beauty for me.

Hahaha. Man I never noticed that!!! And now I wonder how many others flags of countries includes a Cross! Or any other religion symbol.My country's fl...

Yeah but you can be unaware of.In unconscious level. At the end all the crucial years of a child's character formation(age 16) you were given religion...

My use of the word "God" here is = "answers to existential questions". God is maybe the most vague human idea indeed, so with much respect to the lang...

So true. Even atheists mostly take their morals from religion even unintentionally. Since they get raised in mostly religious societies. And like it o...

No it isn't.

Define "God" I mean in the sense of trying to find answers that theists have already from their God. Even atheists have to find something to believe i...

I think that answers your question. Existential questions were the root for philosophy in humanity at first place. Well as not to go it further and sa...

Even if his conclusion is correct it would never be accepted, if the way he tries to prove it is via starting from this false base. Everyone could jus...

By pure luck?

Well no you don't, but surely helps.

Well as long as you say that he relies his case on that. Then don't think there is much to discuss here. He starts his position from a total wrong bas...

I think we talk about different things here. Science use Logic of course, but aren't the same. Science itself isn't evil at all either but of course t...

Human societies aren't abstract concepts. They are reality. Just saying that meanings like "good" and "bad" are only conceptions that human use as to ...

Is there any good or bad in universe except human societies? Aren't these simple things that people try to define as to make our societies and our liv...

I don't think it's necessary doubt to be always about only two options. Worries, anxieties, uncertainties etc just plant the seed for doubt. As to cor...

Respected.

Neither necessarily unpleasant.

That was not the case.The point is that you mention things that you can't support. Like that doubt is overrated and that someone can be certain for wh...

In my mind they are the same. Aren't worries, uncertainties etc the roots of doubts? Sure they are for me.

You appear to have being trapped by your own statements.And you seem clever enough to understand it. So getting away like that, seems like a "good" st...

So what? What all of what you mention here proves?? That doubt and certainty are connected?They might be yes. So?? That makes doubt less important??Or...

Kant wouldn't be very happy reading that.

Only about the nature of the doubt.Its origin. But so what? It doesn't make it vanish or solve it. So for me at least it isn't much helpful. How so? I...

So what? That doesn't say anything about the doubt itself. Life is undoubted yes, but that doesn't help at all to find out our purpose of life. Doubt ...

How so? Doubting about existential questions (death, purpose of life, God etc). Doubting about yourself. Who you actually are. What will happen even i...

Really??So the simple fact that this human a priori ability to search for truth can never be evil isn't good enough for you .How could ever an a prior...

In fact, we live only in doubt.
