Physical objects have matter and form. Our thought has the form. An apple on the table has matter and form, our thought of the apple has form only.

Okay. But for Aristotle matter only exists with form.

I do not think this is Aristotle. Physical stuff is matter and form.

What I just said.

You are saying nothing and are very inarticulate.

I see.

What is that agreement, exactly?

Which is?

Humans are not natural?

Some areas of morality can advance. But as a nation, for every move forward there is always move backwards.

What other morality is there?

Brilliant. I love Aristotle.

Religion is a social practice regardless of the system or dogma.

Philosophy is about learning, not proving one is right.

Yes, agree. When I debate anti-abortion people I always ask them how it comports with their other moral ideas. (They never respond.)

My question is, does it really matter if morality is objective or subjective? I do not think so.

Oedipus was solely responsible. But your other comments are welcome and worth discussing.

You keep ignoring my actual comments.

Please do not tell me what I believe.

Good observation, something to consider. However, Oedipus was himself the cause of the problem.

It has nothing to do with science.

Oedipus was the king and therefore obligated to seek justice. But no matter what he did or did not do fate determined the outcome.

ok

Please explain. Atheism causes suffering?

It is a mystery to me why anyone believes in a benevolent God.

Therefore whatever you want to ascribe to gods cannot be false?

If I understand you, yes. Smoke clouds can look like an actual cloud. Speaking empirically from major fire in New Mexico.

Example. I see smoke in the distance. Is it smoke from a fire? Is it a cloud? Dust in my eye? It is something.

The discussion of hallucination in the philosophy of perception is puzzling to me. The actual occurrence of hallucinations is quite rare and mostly in...

Okay. I've read almost everything of Nietzsche and cannot recall him ever talking about slavery. Okay, you mean the Genealogy of Morals. Is there a sp...

As Hume said, the mind is a heap of perceptions.

Forgive me if you went over this before. But where does Nietzsche discuss slavery, let alone be an advocate?

I would trust a sound argument or explanation. Not just because it is 'rational.'

I'll probably ignore you from now on.

Why start a thread if you have no interest. Waste of time.

I did not agree with you.

I do not think so.

Yes, but helping others in not inherent.

What is that person doing to help?

Not following. How do they impose?

Christianity? What else?

Why do I have to help other persons?

Not every action we take is about morality.

Like saying a woman is on the rag. Bad term.

Let me know when that happens.

That is true now. Most people have no idea what artists are doing.

A four year old and forty year old may be same person, but what is that property?

Hume made the argument against identity. I think he was right.

First, document search. Sales records. Second, paint used. Many forgers get caught using paint that was not available at the time.
