Googling warfare of science with theology, one gets 4,380,000 results! I have a whole folder in my PC about this subject from a time in the past that ...
"Religious terrorism" (https://www.publicsafety.gc.ca/cnt/ntnl-scrt/cntr-trrrsm/lstd-ntts/crrnt-lstd-ntts-en.aspx) is irrelevant to science, and it sp...
Of course there are. All kinds of proffessions contain Buddhists in their ranks. But I don't think that a Buddhist psychiatrist will be of the kind I ...
We have an extremely rude person here, @ToothyMaw, who is either a psychiatrist himself, of the kind I mentioned, or a fanatic pro psychiatrist. A per...
I feel very bad! It's awful! In my country, Orthodox priests also are asent to Germany to become to study psychology. I have not heard anything about ...
Maybe you won't find don't find it humorous, if you consider the reason for that. Psychiatrists appear as enemies of humanity in other novels too. Ind...
Right. I/we have talked about that. Right. But hereses within a any system should not be tolerated. Otherwise, the system falls apart. However, in my ...
Certainly. This is the healthy way to address the subject. Religious freedom is very important. Ironically though, the Churches and the people belongi...
I fully agree on and support religious freedom. Even if some people chose to "belong" to a religious denomination for other reasons than actually foll...
Yes, this is true. Buddha had chosen compassion. Quite similar. But I prefer Buddha's approach. Very "human", simple, direct, practical, no gods or ev...
Well, that's nice and inspiring, yet it is still too theoretical. I mean, not quite tanglible. I, personally, cannot even imagine how it would look li...
Yes, this is the other side of the story, which is more important, since it refers to the majority of people. My "uselessness" refers to the those who...
Us! :smile: More precisely, those who have written the Old Testament --actually the Hebrew Bible-- which then was adopted by Judeo-Christians and the ...
I believe so. I have not retained many details from my religion courses at school. I had to learn the material in order to pass the course! :grin: Wha...
This is true. In fact, we should be just and true to each other. Besides, we all belong to the same race. We should therefore support and help each ot...
We create a God ourselves, and then we realize that He is not just and then compalin about that. Ironically, however, the Judeo-Christian God is venge...
OK. BTW, I love both. :smile: As for their similarity, I can't find anything that connects these two in a special way. You say, e.g. "thinking ahead i...
Can you think of the tones of ink that have been spilled on this subject since eons and that we still lack a detailed description that is acceptable b...
You find it "uninteresting", and yet not only you seem to appreciate it a lot, but you have created a topic with a title based on an allegory connecti...
A reflex, in physiology, is an involuntary response/reaction to a stimulus. This is not debatable. But in general, a reflex is a reaction/response to ...
You must have noticed that I used "philosophy" within quotation marks. This indicates "philosophy-like" or "pseudo-philosophy" or even "actually, not ...
I have never talked about "self-awareness" (I think it's the third time you bring this up) or "high cognitive functions". These are for humans only. I...
English is my second language and I am a professional translator. I have also graduated from an American college. But you miss the point here. It's no...
I have explained that shortly: "Every living organism, even bacteria, receives stimuli from the environment and reacts to them." You must not think of...
This is true. There are all kinds of "philosophies": a "philosophy" of reading and a "philosophy" of cooking. There are also personal "philosophies": ...
Not all. At least not me. :smile: Consciousness exists in all forms of life, however elementary it is. Every living organism, even bacteria, receives ...
Well, I referred to your saying "I try to cover as much ground as humanly possible, philosophy, science, anthropology, sociology, political theory. To...
Well, well, well! You passed from simple computing systems to consiousness!! I would call that "too ambitious", if it wasn't a blatantly wrong conclus...
What is the "philosophical project" you are talking about? I wonder esp. because you are not using title capitals, and therefore it doesn't look a kno...
There is no objective reality. It there were, who would be able to tell? It would be their own view (reality), wouldn't it? There's nothing out there,...
Oh, thought you knoew that it is not in the brain ... Well, this is is a topic by itself. Talking about it would start a new thread and I think we are...
I know. I'm just being polite. :smile: I know that too. This is often my answer to those who believe --some of them are quite certain-- that conscious...
I'm not sure where are you referring to with "holists" --medicine or philosophy-- but there's a very large part of people in the West and almost the w...
I watched parts of this video. All 3 participants look quite brilliant, esp. Kate. So, posted the following comment: "Excellent and very enjoyable vid...
I suppose you mean what Wikipedia calls "Information overload (also known as infobesity, infoxication, information anxiety, and information explosion ...
Since you got me interested --for use by myself-- I checked the Web s little more. What I found out is that whiteboard animations cost from low to hig...
I already said that to @ChatteringMonkey: Arguments are impersonal. Logic has no face, identity, color or smell. Which means that whoever makes a stet...
I see what you mean here. But this doesn't match the statement of your topic "Listening to arguments rather than people". Anyway, I accept what you ar...
But isn't this what I meant by being influenced by the person who makes the argument? This can happen when we are listening to opinions, which are sub...
