And Christ asked of her "Whatcha gonna do with all that junk? All that junk inside your trunk?" And the sinful women replied "I'ma get get get get you...
It's clear to me that you're willing to believe that. Even if you can't justify your belief - which you can't. So, it is clear to you in a similar way...
Ironically, you don't know any of what you've accused me of. How can you? I haven't revealed to you my understanding in any detail. You're just assumi...
The soul is just a myth. But if you mean something like my conscience, then my conscience would be fine. It is yours which needs examining. Didn't Chr...
Maybe I'll make that my next project. But it's not like I know nothing at all about it. Perhaps I've read enough as it is, and reading more will only ...
I didn't say the percentage was significant. The order is significant. You're a hard nut to crack, Agustino. I had you pegged as more of Tory. They're...
I said that both are at the bottom, which is correct. They are the bottom two, and the Greens came last. It still says something that those two in par...
That's interesting, to say the least. Only a 1-2% percent difference between those four political parties? Lib Dems and UKIP are opposites regarding t...
No, that isn't what I meant to suggest. When I said that you won't find a Tory in heaven, I meant to suggest that that is a reason to help remove them...
1. I am Sapientia. 2. Sapientia is wisdom. 3. Therefore, I am wisdom. 4. Only wisdom is the opposite of foolish. 5. Therefore, Sapientia is the opposi...
The only? No, it is not. He attempted to prove: Which is quite ridiculous and a fool's errand. You might as well attempt to prove that everything is G...
No, I don't misunderstand. But you, on the other hand, are patently mistaken. Of course there are people who seek virtue. There have been for centurie...
@"Agustino", as of now, it has been ten minutes since my last reply to you. I hope you're spending this time wisely - perhaps by making my suggested d...
Shaun The Sheep, despite the name, is not a sheep of any kind. But a sheep is depicted. And the kind of sheep depicted is in fact a goat, like everyth...
Yes. But one must also face up to the harsh reality. Change doesn't come easy or happen over night, and it can be a bitter pill to swallow. Sadly, the...
Yes, to some extent, you're probably right. But some go too far. There was a poll last year about what traits people want in a leader, and honesty and...
Perhaps not. I haven't delved particularly deep into the thought of Spinoza. There might well be some value beyond his ridiculous theology, which is o...
Then you're an exception. People strive for virtue in order to be a better person, not because of an impulse towards gaining power. And what you say n...
Well, it wasn't catered to appeal to your tastes, whatever they may be. Perhaps you'd prefer something even more tasteless, like the dry analytic phil...
The kind of socialist with the wrong priorities. The economics and the morality are connected, and the morality of his economics far outweighs that of...
It did so in the two previous elections, but not quite as Sanders proposes, and it didn't quite work out. The failure is to some extent systemic. The ...
Interesting reply, but I disagree. It's implicit in the concept of virtue. Otherwise why strive for virtue? It isn't to be more powerful. Yes, that wa...
Yes, but despite the risk of losing my voice, I like that we have the room in here to have lengthier shouts. It enables me to have discussions of a mo...
Are the virtuous, or the blessed in particular, better than the non-virtuous, or the non-blessed? No, I am fortunate enough not to have read anything ...
With all due respect, what on earth are you going on about? Never mind, I just don't care, to be honest. Well, I completely disagree, because that mak...
Actually, his real name is Gerald. Isn't that right, @"Hanover"? I remember these things. My memories of Hanover are like precious little jewels which...
Yes, my argument is based on preexisting values of mine. But the claim of yours which I was disputing was your claim that arguments don't persuade peo...
Yes they do, sometimes. Have you never reevaluated your values or changed your judgement, in part, because of some form of argument that you've read o...
No, not necessarily. A good argument can persuade those who are able to recognise it as such. Whether or not that is significant is arguable, and can ...
Perhaps I cannot establish it, but that is more or less the point to a debate such as this; not just to point out differences or point to the number o...
tl;dr It's quite simple, really, and not worth debating. They simply don't mean the same thing (and this can very easily be demonstrated with a number...
I find those sort of truisms suggestive of relativism to be quite annoying. What I mean is that there's more to what we're arguing over than a mere di...
