What separates a lay problem (not religious) from a religious problem, when the bible directly and explicitly deals with it, including Jesus in the de...

To be sure, your brief description is so scant, that I don't understand layer logic. I have few of its properties and the corollaries, but the whole t...

Renouncing life can mean two things: 1. verbally declaring that life is not worth living or 2. Verbally and in actions declaring and following up that...

Now, that would be a shame. "Ignorance is power." As long as you don't know your subject material, you can assert and claim anything. Then again, that...

Most people think philosophy is science without numbers. That garners a lot of sympathy right there. Most people who are religious think all philosoph...

:-) well, that's what the point was. Hehe. Being the best means... basically dick all. "Thus, the first shall be last and the last shall be first." Or...

true, it is not necessarily voluntary, and in a lot of cases it is coerced. But it does not mean it is not agreed to. A person can agree, due to coerc...

Latest theory of happiness is "having success beyond expectations." And please cross this with "A pessimist can never be unpleasantly disappointed." T...

I would say you just proved the innate need to act ethically, and an inability to act unethically in terms of one's own DNA-commanded ethicality; by d...

While suicide may be ultimate pain reliever, it is also the ultimate pain. It takes courage, and a lot of loathing for life to build up to killilng on...

To pay taxes, or to do anything, with consent, does not mean that you do it without grudge, resentment or loathing. A hooker may have sex with many me...

The biggest and most damaging criticism of Heidegger in German philosophical literature is "Warum etwas einfach machen, wenn es auch kompliziert geht?...

Jacob, your argument breaks down on a false premise. Everyone pays their taxes with consent. People even sit down and work out with sweat and toil how...

You're right. I think there was very much indeed deep social meaning in this movie. Kubrick proved with emphasis, and without leaving any doubt, that ...

I rented the movie just to see what the big doodle was about it. Cinematography? There are a lot of really good looking people in this movie. Good loo...

John, you are preaching. You did two things in your previous one post people are not allowed to do on this site. Whether your post gets flagged or not...

I knew a man once, who was the BEST prayer. His prayers always got answered. He was not only good at it, he was the BEST. In my high school years I wa...

I read the opening statement, and I can't understand what is going on. I think it's because there are too many assumptions the author takes for grante...

By-the-by, what does "epistemic" mean? Sounds delicious. "The Lord Bishop had an epistemic liver pate served up for us at high tea."

Your description is not a paradox A paradox is a statetement that has a truth value of "true", but having a truth value of "true" immeditely turns it ...

You must adore Depak Chopra then. He is not getting laid for nothing by slender blonde beauties of the upper echelons of society in the prime of their...

Why can't you give a point as an example? I don't accept your reason for withholding that information. I think you are bluffing. You claim everyone or...

I think the enlightenment raised more issues than had been before, instead of resolving the existing ones. I won't know why we need to blame the enlig...

You make a lot of assumptions. 1. I must know a vast number of people who need a point in their lives. 2. We all have a common psychology. 3. The defa...

No, it is more like an ipse ad quo pros tate. Or like an id est tu, or like an obinem iodu quam parat sod. Or, perhaps, I am not ashamed to say it, li...

This is a brilliant answer. I know you are not supposed to make entries with simply agreeing with someone else, but this is not simply an agreement; i...

I don't think stopping the car is equivalent to dying. It is equivalent to a rest, because you can start after a rest, much like you can start a car. ...

I beg to differ. You don't need a point to live at all. Many things live which supposedly don't have a point to do so, including all the plants. I don...

The op forgot to add the immediately following next line, "But WHY do we ALWAYS talk about sex?"

How? By claiming that they do exist, while they don't and then discriminate on the basis of non-existing differences. Mind you, it is not possible for...

I apologize I was not referring to you at all when I mentioned "some people don't understand this chart". After all I don't know you and to the point ...

As far as the living knows. The dead may be experiencing even bigger changes, or permanent exciting happiness (rapture). They don't tell you that, the...

This is true, as long as the changes are small and manageable. For instance, the biggest change in life, that is, changing from being alive to being d...

I still think you don't need a point to live. You will provide a point or an alleged point when forced, or questioned, but that is not a "need" per se...

Road map is nice and symmetrical. A beauty. Too complex for me to examine. Arrows can mean anything -- processes, feeback, feed forward, reaction, act...

Right on, Petrokotbifas

sexual reproduction and sex happened way before human species happened. And I don't know, but imagine that there is much less separation of personalit...

How soon we forget our own words. :-)

Anything that causes death: flame throwers, bullets, guns, arrows and bows, nuclear devices, electric chair. I say this because the biggest change you...

Our knowledge is innate, but different. That is the nature of human responses and qualuties that are innate. That is the no. 1. mistake by philosophic...

I don't know what an "entailment" is, and what a "disjunction" is. I can't form an opinion while these two concepts are involved in the question, prop...

Nobody can prove or disprove the existence of god. Science especially; the scientific method excludes positive proofs. It can negate (if the thing is ...

I believe this is true. Each part alone and the whole thing together. I chalk it up to a difference in the morality gene as a product of instantaneous...

Heralds: Some religious Jew described Angels to me as carriers of messages between God and humans. "Guardian Angel". Harlots: "You are my little angel...

One could argue that those who value their pets' well-being and very life before other humans', are in fact anthropomorphizing the little critters. Ho...

If it's equally responsible, then there is another factor, which is also equally responsible. IN fact, there could be a number of different factors, w...

There are four main types of Angels. 1. Heralds. They bring tidings of great joy. 2. Guardians. 3. Harlots. 4. Satan. The first three types are pleasa...

Can a thing both be and not be at the same time and at the same respect? Can a god be a human and can a human be a god? A god is infinitely powerful, ...

What's the point of living if you eventually die? Well, I don't think you need a "point" to live. You just do. Other that that, there is the enjoyment...
