Mulgere hircum, eh? Non sono mica Mandrake! For someone who seems willing to test his/her own limits, cognitive or otherwise, you seem a bit (too) con...
It just feels wrong. Your claims are not proportionate to your evidence is what I'd have said if it was any other day except you don't even mention an...
So god, nirvana, brahman, etc., are simply various ways of talking about the same thing or even different aspects of the same thing, this thing being ...
I don't know if it helps your case but belief isn't knowledge, it's just one of three conditions for knowledge (JTB theory) and that being so, proof i...
Darwinian sorcery! Should I be happy that someone at least pretended to love me rather than just not love me at all? As per fiction, no! Actors someti...
@"Wayfarer" :fire: Of late, I've been noticing that my ship seems to have drifted into the gravity well of Christianity. I'm left-handed and so the si...
That's what a certain subgroup of scientists would say. Those who're in the business of description of nature. However, I believe there are some who a...
That's not the same thing. Freddy's madness would've percolated, like good tea, throughout his work and if his warped logic makes sense to you, someth...
Slave morality. Democritus believed that (modernizing his words) it's better to have the gun pointed at you than you pointing the gun at someone (cons...
:lol: You mean to say we're putting stock in the writings of a madman? Very good point, sir/madam! Does this mean @"180 Proof" that if Freddy makes se...
How? Agreed that it can't make the case that it's rational to be rational on pain of circulus in probando. I'm telling you, I'm speaking the truth! Ho...
All roads lead to Rome? Maybe not! Tim Toady? Yep, that fits like a glove. Religions, what unites them all? In my humble opinion the Platonic Form of ...
Ietsism/Somethingism. Ietsism, as far as I can tell, is proto-religion. Over the course of history, that something in somethingism was assigned the va...
Yep, blame Canada language. There are no (true) paradoxes and if anyone claims that there are, prove it to them that they're misusing language (semant...
Why? Am I now on your ignore list? :smile: Ask @"SophistiCat", s/he has a browser add-on that lets you avoid certain posters you feel don't contribute...
Hi Jack Cummins. Good to see you back in action. To the extent I'm concerned, I won't deny the law of attraction, but I'd like to tweak it a bit, you ...
Read the link. A good-enough-for-government-work explanation for why polytheism was swapped for monotheism: Dread (of more calamities, catastrophes, Y...
But I haven't failed monsieur! :chin: I rank/rate creativity highly, right up there with reason & knowledge. The reason it seems to have dropped out o...
One-size-fits-all meaning to life would mean all except one of us is a redundancy, it's overkill I tell you. Please do the needful, whoever draws the ...
That's all that matters, no? I could be wrong of course. Just curious, you mention two criteria 1. Knowledge 2. Reason Why these two only? Creativity?...
That's setting the bar too high in my opinion and your "website" will get fewer, even though high quality, hits if you catch my drift. Also you'll mis...
The OP is onto something. Despite my misgivings as to Wittgenstein's theory of language vis-à-vis philosophy at all levels, from the man on the Clapha...
:chin: No, no, he has a point. Atheism isn't something one simply picks up off a shelf in some cheap store. Most intellectuals worth their salt are at...
God exists, that's for certain. Unfortunately or not, he's infinitely old and as we speak is self-treating (omniscient) Himself for senile dementia (c...
Anaximander! I recognize you! Don't eat fish, they're our ancestors. Wittgenstein, though he thoughtfully warned us of bewitchment of our intelligence...
You haven't made the case while I've repeatedly pointed out to you the mathematically relevant words "poly", "mono" and "a", all prefixes to "theism" ...
Can you not imagine doing the exact opposite to what you actually do? In the little experiment I performed on myself, tobacco, I don't touch that stuf...
It's hard to say but Hume did point out that creation could've been a team effort, and if memory serves, he didn't even call the members gods. There's...
Agreed, but that's a subtopic. What does all this have to do with what I said? :ok: However, I'm not saying that numbers (poly, mono, a, theism) matte...
