If you're coming at this thread as if it's a wholesale attack on atheism / defence of religion and therefore you have to take a side, you're demonstra...
I am necessarily oversimplifying so I take your points. But another way of saying this is that the progress of human social life has involved the grad...
+ Kierkegaard, e. g. The Sickness into Death. Currently reading. Very apropos, it seems to me. Edit: Christian existentialism, as I understand it, sol...
I agree difficulties with the self are leveraged by Cartesianism and the subsequent history of instrumental reasoning. The modus operandi of homo econ...
One begins with an innocent berry and is led through jellied tubes of sliceable pectin and on to experimental horseradish abominations. I shudder to s...
Oh, I don't remember ever even seeing the canned kind. This is Bramwell's, comes in a jar, and is preserve style. Homemade sounds great but haven't ha...
It was a fair sized one, although admittedly nothing eggstraordinary. In any case, I think we are getting distracted from the cranberry sauce which is...
Banned @"Ying" for PMed abuse in response to attempts to moderate. A long-term member and I wish him good luck but we are not going to put up with tha...

Would you mind giving the warnings at the beginning of your posts in future? Maybe: Good afternoon, ladies and gentleman, I am about to write a joke o...
