What actions of Stalin makes him a leftist?

Physical laws are just behaviors within boundaries.

Space did not precede the Big Bang.

"Not to be born is, beyond all estimation, best; but when a man has seen the light of day, this is next best by far, that with utmost speed he should ...

The idea that it is better to exist than not exist seems to be purely a value statement. It is usually made by Christian theologians to justify their ...

No one on the left would say such a foolish thing.

Okay, got it.

Another travel example. When you travel to India and ask a Hindu if they believe in God, do you think they will refer to the Christian God?

"God" is a proper name. In a Christian culture everyone know it refers to God in that tradition.

Got it, thanks!

Laws of physics are just regularities. The concept of law is rather odd since we usually think of a law as needing enforcement.

I have no idea what that meant.

Goodbye.

I see nothing productive from this conversation.

which was my point

Leibniz: "As for my own opinion, I have said more than once, that I hold space to be something merely relative, as time is, that I hold it to be an or...

I think it can only state value.

I said it already.

Ok.

If the glove does not fit you have to acquit. Same realm.

Relational. No such things as things occurring in space for Leibniz.

I genuinely have no idea what the glove thing is supposed to mean.

Conceptually. Like I said, Leibniz did not present mathematical demonstrations.

What does human anatomy have to do with the structure of the universe?

Exactly what Einstein meant. There is no absolute measure of time or space.

Anyone citing wiki for philosophy should not be discussing philosophy.

No.

None.

No.

Leibniz explicitly said time and space are relative and not absolute as Newton stated. Again, I seriously have no idea what the glove thing is. I've h...

How about someone on the board who is not a capitalist! That's diversity.

I think Leibniz is right. He stated a principle of relativity Einstein demonstrated to contemporary physicists. Again, the left and right thing would ...

I never understood the glove and left and right thing in Kant. Seems trivial.

Ok.

Leibniz was a relativist about space and time and severe critic of Newton.

Fine, tell me what I do not know.

The properties of God Christians teach are: 1. All powerful 2. All knowing 3. Creator of universe 4. Spirit rather than physical entity

Tillich's definition is pretty mainstream. What are the theologies you see as conflicting?

I know what they mean. I just don't believe it.

Mormons asked me this morning if I believed in God. I said no. Not in the sense you understand it.

And that is my point. I do not think agnosticism is a legitimate position. They choose to be undecided.

I think it is pretty straight forward for Christians. God as described in the Bible and supported by theology.

Yes, Foghorn Leghorn. "I said, that's a joke, son!"

What does that mean?

I think it is the same. The first Christian theologians posed God's existence as a proposition. Thus, the question is whether you believe God exists.

I am not. Every definition of agnosticism I have seen is based on the idea that there can be no knowledge of God to prove existence or nonexistence. B...

That's the definition I would use for agnosticism.

The agnostic says knowledge about God is not possible. Thus, existence or nonexistence cannot be determined. The problem is, claims about God are base...

And Blind Faith.

No, because the conclusion does not follow since your use of "god" and "God" are different.
