Should be replaced with.... Atheism: The belief that human reason is qualified to generate meaningful statements on subjects the scale of gods. Theism...

Sounds like a good plan to me.
June 16, 2021 at 23:58
Which would lead to a Palestinian state. To my understanding, the Palestinians don't wish to be citizens of Israel, even if they were full citizens li...
June 16, 2021 at 23:55
Right. I'm not worried about a united Arab invasion of Israel. It's been proven that won't work. On the contrary, if I lived in Israel I'd be worried ...
June 16, 2021 at 23:47
Well, there is another option. Victory for one side or another. The Palestinians need only end the Jewish state and they have their victory. To achiev...
June 16, 2021 at 15:22
You've said all this already about a thousand times. If Israel stops exercising any control over Palestinians, the result of that is a Palestinian sta...
June 16, 2021 at 15:17
You don't care. So why should I?
June 16, 2021 at 15:13
We get that you reject the status quo, because you've said that now about 36,000 times. Ok, fair enough, no problem, got it. It would be helpful to th...
June 16, 2021 at 14:35
Yes, which is why I've suggested leaving the Middle East. It seems to me that part of the world is a Biblical scale calamity just waiting to happen. S...
June 16, 2021 at 14:26
Ok, so what is the nature of the argument? Palestinians want Jews out and full control of West Bank? Jews vary in opinion from agreement, to moderate ...

Here's the link to what we're supposed to be discussing. https://thephilosophyforum.com/discussion/11201/debate-the-logic-of-atheism

Boring writing style??? Hey, whoever this number guy is he'd better stay off my turf!! I've got a brand to protect you know. He can have the expletive...
June 16, 2021 at 13:40
Ok, that's about what I thought. I get that Hamas are bad guys, no argument there. But then, isn't that the norm across the Middle East? I get that if...
June 16, 2021 at 13:35
Yes, pit the little people against each other, and then rule over the resulting mess. Divide and conquer.
June 16, 2021 at 13:23
I can't decide. Should I bring popcorn? Or a bazooka? Both??? I'm so confused!!!!
June 16, 2021 at 13:22
Wait a second, are you saying I live in a nutshell???? Whoa, hang on, let me get my rocket launcher..
June 16, 2021 at 13:19
Don't forget the media. At least here in the States, a shining city on a hill built from genocide and slavery, the media is a big player in feeding th...
June 16, 2021 at 13:18
Yes, I hear you, that is how it works everywhere, the nutzos feed off each other. We've got a lot of that going on here in America in recent years too...
June 16, 2021 at 13:14
Ok, fair enough. But is residence the same as being the rulers? As example, the native people of North America were here at least 10,000 years before ...
June 16, 2021 at 13:11
Um, who controls incoming and outgoing traffic in Gaza? Israel and Egypt, right? Are Gazans free to come and go as they like? Is commerce free to go i...
June 16, 2021 at 13:08
Well, to attempt fairness... Can you agree that there is a segment of the Israeli population (don't know percent) that has imperialist ambitions for l...
June 16, 2021 at 13:05
Well, I am Foghorn Leghorn after all, and I've been in the entertainment business for a long time. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foghorn_Leghorn Here'...
June 16, 2021 at 12:58
Well, Israel isn't apartheid in relation to Christians, but in relation to Palestinians. Here's what I suggest. Release Gaza from the grip. Get out of...
June 16, 2021 at 12:54
Ha, ha, this is hilarious, and so true. I plead guilty to white man savior syndrome myself. However, I blame that all on the Jews. :-) It was you guys...
June 16, 2021 at 12:46
But it has everything to do with the credibility of the source. You want everyone to take your concern seriously, but you decline to provide evidence ...
June 16, 2021 at 12:40
That's overwhelming obvious to everyone, except to you.
June 16, 2021 at 12:36
If we don't actually care that much about the innocents, that's irrelevant to an outrage based conservation about those innocents? If it's true that w...
June 16, 2021 at 12:34
Good description, thanks. Yes, the usual understanding of intelligence is entity based. Yes, and the interesting bit here, imho, is that we are discus...
June 16, 2021 at 12:19
This is a good question. I agree that I'm am likely bending the word "intelligence" beyond it's agreed upon meaning. I could say, "Luke, trust The For...
June 16, 2021 at 12:12
The evidence I'm attempting to offer is that we have often seen division where it doesn't actually exist. Space and time, two words, one thing. Energy...
June 16, 2021 at 12:09
Yes, that's what life does. The question being asked here is, what is the source of these functions? Particularly for example, in the case of primitiv...
June 16, 2021 at 11:58
Well, here am I, on a philosophy forum, where "here's what's wrong with that" is the cultural norm. :-) As we've discussed, I did precisely what you'v...
June 16, 2021 at 11:42
Yes, I didn't want to alarm everyone, but that's the next step if they aren't given the @#$^%^ award, and they mean, right now!!!
June 16, 2021 at 10:35
Oh, what a bad little biologist you're turning out to be. :-) Bacteria coat every surface everywhere, except in very carefully sanitized situations. B...
June 16, 2021 at 10:34
Agreed. My theory is that gene editing still too abstract a topic. When there's a donkey in the zoo with four heads, when we can see it instead of jus...
June 16, 2021 at 10:30
It may not, I'm obviously speculating in every direction, and unable to prove anything. What interests me is the way our minds impose a pattern of div...
June 16, 2021 at 10:10
Ok, what I'm asking us to explore, and I agree none of us can predict the future... If the "reign of terror" were to end, what would replace it? One P...
June 16, 2021 at 09:37
Thanks, I had vague knowledge of that, but it's good to see an article which spells it out in more detail. My prediction is that at some point there w...
June 16, 2021 at 09:29
You're mention of energy seems very useful, thank you for that. Here's why... I've been suggesting that what we call intelligence, and matter, may be ...
June 16, 2021 at 09:19
Yes, I understand, the discussion has to be tightly controlled to prevent the inclusion of any analysis which is inconvenient to your position. Ok, I ...
June 16, 2021 at 09:02
So you're suggesting that Israel retain control over the West Bank and Gaza, but lighten up on that control? Do I understand that correctly, or have I...
June 16, 2021 at 09:00
If my post was indeed just an inaccurate personal attack, then it should be easy to prove that by linking to your Syria threads. If such threads exist...
June 16, 2021 at 08:51
The point of that sidebar was to investigate the degree to which any of us are actually interested in the welfare of innocent Arab victims. If the evi...
June 16, 2021 at 08:46
I already did that by demonstrating that scientists too are capable of making questionable decisions. Scientists are people. People tend to be FUBAR. ...
June 15, 2021 at 15:40
Returning to the topic, what do members think would have been an appropriate response to rockets launched in to Israel by Hamas? Israel could lift the...
June 15, 2021 at 15:20
Ah, so those are proper English words, such as in merry old England land? I didn't know. I thought they were nitwit wanker nerd words, which is why I ...
June 15, 2021 at 15:09
I'm quite familiar with this perspective, and the experience too, and do agree with you. This is why I was questioning above whether philosophy is an ...
June 15, 2021 at 15:00
As stated above, I think your declared interest in the welfare of Palestinians is false, a forum pose, whose primary purpose is the enhancement of you...
June 15, 2021 at 14:52
What? What? WHAT? You're ending the confrontation??? That is so rude! Have you no compassion for the conflict addictions of your fellow members??? HEL...
June 15, 2021 at 13:33
You don't. You are free to dodge and weave as you see fit. No argument there. Your posts are your posts.
