It is a joke, but true. "God said it, I believe it, that settles it." Discussions about religion and theism are mostly futile.

Thanks. Had to look that up.
May 06, 2022 at 00:27
Agree.

It is like saying everyone either lives in Paris or not. World is Parisians (God) or non-Parisians(Atheist).
May 04, 2022 at 21:32
That is it,yes.
May 03, 2022 at 00:28
Absolutely agree.
May 02, 2022 at 21:35
False.
May 02, 2022 at 14:40
Name it.
May 02, 2022 at 14:39
No. "I do not believe in God therefore I do not believe in God."
May 02, 2022 at 00:23
I did not say that.
May 02, 2022 at 00:01
Ok. Nothing to do with what I said.
May 01, 2022 at 23:58
Are you saying atheists are amoral?
May 01, 2022 at 23:56
Sorry, I really don't understand what you're saying.
May 01, 2022 at 23:55
ok

Most people would not call an airplane a horse.
May 01, 2022 at 23:49
Do you believe an airplane is a horse?
May 01, 2022 at 23:44
Horses cannot fly.
May 01, 2022 at 23:41
That is what I wrote.
May 01, 2022 at 23:39
Anything that can be referred to is a thing. Whether it has physical existence is a different question. Do unicorns exist? Yes. Do flying horses exist...

In the US it is the GOP fascist party versus democracy.
May 01, 2022 at 19:15
Conservatives use the "far left" as a rhetorical device to devalue liberals. A meaningless term.
May 01, 2022 at 17:39
"Exist" is not well defined.
May 01, 2022 at 16:12
False or unprovable.
May 01, 2022 at 16:12
False.
May 01, 2022 at 16:12
Please explain.
May 01, 2022 at 15:22
no
May 01, 2022 at 04:48
The fallacy is that my experience is determined by the way others see me.
May 01, 2022 at 04:39
I do not see your point.
May 01, 2022 at 03:40
Kant writes paragraph long sentences. At the end you can't remember what the point was.
May 01, 2022 at 01:28
I've seen writing manual mention that. Tell the reader where the argument is and where it is going.
May 01, 2022 at 01:27
Okay, I should not comment anymore.
April 30, 2022 at 23:59
Derrida has some good ideas, but his writing and explication can be tedious.
April 30, 2022 at 23:52
Kant is a terrible writer. Hume and Descartes are good writers. Bertrand Russell is a good writer.
April 30, 2022 at 23:48
Well said, agree. Capitalism for the masses. Socialism for the wealthy.
April 30, 2022 at 23:43
What is positive side of killing someone for fun? Nothing to do with moral or immoral. Why would any society want people to do it?
April 30, 2022 at 23:11
No. Just what I said. Stabbing people for fun. What culture thinks that is good?
April 30, 2022 at 20:06
Would not agree with that assertion. Does any culture believe stabbing and murdering people is acceptable (outside of war!)?
April 30, 2022 at 19:56
Perhaps. But who guides their life by what is not impossible?
April 30, 2022 at 19:52
ok
April 30, 2022 at 19:47
Agree with that.
April 30, 2022 at 19:45
Why does there have to be a reason?
April 30, 2022 at 19:17
Who criticized him and for what? Marx called himself a materialist and differed only on what he called Hegel's idealism.
April 30, 2022 at 18:54
Seems to me at the core. Marx thought of himself as Hegelian.
April 30, 2022 at 18:48
Every reason has another reason behind it. At some point we just have to accept that we are here and the world exists.
April 30, 2022 at 18:43
Thanks. I don't have the knowledge about this, something to learn about.
April 30, 2022 at 18:36
Marx was Hegelian--the concept of history as dialectical
April 30, 2022 at 18:27
This interests me. Can you say more about the Hegelian influence on AI?
April 30, 2022 at 18:25
Because it is capitalism.
April 30, 2022 at 17:50
Cannot argue with that.
April 30, 2022 at 17:25
ok
