I don't take you seriously because you don't take either yourself or this forum seriously. I'm just joining a work in progress, trying to fit in and b...

Ok, you have every right to say what you wish, and as a mod do what you wish. This is not being debated. I'm just trying to help you see what kind of ...

Yes, hopefully you will continue to expand on this. It seems a translation challenge.

Nice analysis, seems insightful, thanks. It seems to me that the reality is that the world's largest nation is going to be a dominant player on the wo...

No... Convincing arguments supporting theism are lacking, therefore nothing. Convincing arguments supporting atheism are lacking, therefore nothing. T...

I once heard an astrophysicist on NPR claim that in certain conditions at the quantum level it would be possible for an expanding bubble to be created...

This is hilarious!!!! Thank you so much, I literally just broke out in laughter. I see a big career in stand up comedy in your future...

We find agreement! Yes, all the other threads contain insulting snooty comments too, often by the mods . Yes, this is the Internet. Not a philosophy f...

And what's even worse, is that I'm the only fucking around jerk on the forum!!! Shame, shame, controversy, food fight, M E L O D R A M A!!!!!! No wait...

Ah, thank you. I didn't know the part about Russia, that was educational. My understanding is that in the twenties Germany was recovering from the Tre...

Ah, you're finally starting to get it. The notion that any of this can understood is based on an assumption that there is a logical framework to such ...

On the other hand, just to argue a point, if the WWI allies had invaded Germany and taken it over, then WWII would not have happened. That is, maybe t...

Ha, what an excellent question. Yes, what is the historical record? Examining that record doesn't automatically settle any controversy about the curre...

It's interesting that you consider yourself an authority on the subject of philosophical value.

The politest thing we could say in response to the demise of a sincere person who was doing their best is nothing. I can agree that there is a constru...

110, and still counting! :-)

:-)

Agreed, it's a mixed record, on a very large scale.

One of my goals this summer is to do 10,000 sit ups. I knew you'd want to know right away.

Well, it has to be admitted that, the Chinese communists have rescued many millions from an ancient rural life which so many willingly abandoned. My o...

In another thread we were exploring a notion that phenomena like logic is just a symptom of a deeper property shared by all things. We were struggling...

Sort of. It's surely true that there are those who are skeptical of religion. But they are rarely skeptical of the "reason" they have replaced it with...

Yes, imho, the biggest under reported story of the 20th century is the urbanization of humanity. More and more people are being born in to life almost...

I recently heard on NPR that all clown fish are born male. At some point the biggest male in a group turns in to a female, because the biggest female ...

Dying before that happens. :-) I have a bit of a warped view on this, as I live in Florida, where the population has grown 7X during my lifetime. The ...

Well, maybe. It's up to you of course. If I could suggest, consider the worst that could happen. If you can make peace with that, then there's nothing...

You don't seem to be doing a very good job of ignoring me. :-)

Right. None of us are interested. We're in agreement. There is no melodrama here folks. Time to move along.

We're now all in agreement that none of us are interested.

If I were to start such a thread.... This is what you'd do with it.

That's ok. You start it. :-)

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery? :-) No complaints from here.

They're dead when they've been closed by the mods. Generally speaking, folks of all flavors are avoiding thinking about any of this to any serious deg...

Please explain what would be logical, constructive or useful about providing an alternative to the God debate to those who feel no need for one. It se...

Agreed. And a plausible method of asking meaningful questions on questions of such enormous scale. Proof please. Never provided. Another angle is that...

My impression is that theism in general may be attempting to describe something that is real, in an out of date cultural language which can no longer ...

Certainly agree with that too. :-)

Certainly agree with that.

The title of the thread is..... Israel killing Civilians in Gaza and the West Bank I wonder if there would be some credible way to calculate how many ...

One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest Jiddu Krishnamurti but mostly.... San Felasco State Park - that is, the real world.

Ok, cool, thanks for your clear answer.

I apologize, but I won't be able to answer the "who is God" question. Would if I could, but I am not myself a god, so...

The price tag for hearing what I would propose is to answer the question, which readers are free to do or not as they wish, with my blessings in any c...

Not a suggestion. A question. Do readers find the theist vs. atheist debate in general to be an adequately satisfying investigation of such issues?

Nice analysis Crank, quite informative and detailed. Good work.

Apologies, don't understand your question.

Are you satisfied with the theist vs. atheist debate in general? Are members in general? I don't mean the particular debate being discussed in this th...

The atheist affirmation begins before that. The affirmation begins when the atheist affirms that they have a qualified method of addressing the questi...

Ok, I will leave you to quip in peace. No offense meant, none taken. Have a good one.
