Also, I'd like to add that this statement seems to ignore everything I actually said. I explained that I have always waited far longer than necessary ...

Either you're misunderstanding me, or I'm misunderstanding you, or both. What you asked has nothing to do with what I said, as far as I can tell.

Are you a woman? I cannot see a man saying something like this because it's just plain inaccurate. It shows a complete lack of experience in regards t...

I am in favour of gun rights, and do not own a gun. I am in favour of gay marriage, and I am not gay. I am in favour of marijuana legalization, and do...

This is exactly correct. I've never been an assertive person, and I've never been great at reading body language. Because of this, every sexual encoun...

You seem to be an irrational and unreasonable person, at least with regard to this topic, so I see no point on wasting my time trying to have a real d...

I have to second what T Clark said, you're being disingenuous. I explained what your statements imply and why, and you essentially just responded with...

1 through 4 I'm with you, but my issues begin here: You have been speaking (and continue to here) as though banning all religious activity is a reason...

I don't know how old you are, but your post is riddled with immature remarks that are clearly in reference to me, and you're trying way too hard to vi...

I stopped going to bars, which was where most of it took place, and just generally have become less social. Things happened a few times when I was a y...

I agree with that, of course. But Pseudonym has so far only referenced Christianity, and he has specifically referenced it. As you say, though, we're ...

Based on this... ...as well as many other things Pseudonym has said, the attitude of intolerance seems to be very blatant, to me. When you're talking ...

You really seem to have issues with misunderstanding what people say. This is a discussion on theism. Theism does not imply any of the examples you gi...

These are all part of the tangible system, though. These things help you gain wealth, but in order to utilize these things you need to already have we...

You need to be very careful not to trade one God (God) for another (science). Many former theists do just that, and fail to see the irony and hypocris...

I never said anything about stagnation. Humanity has always acted, and always will act. Nothing that you or I believe or do will affect that. So you a...

You avoided the actual question. Your initial statement implied that men need consent to touch you, but you do not need consent to touch them. That in...

I don't know enough about the science of it to comment on that. I assume there are specific criteria necessary in order to diagnose a mental illness, ...

On the contrary, I believe with great conviction that none of us knows what is best for humanity, or whether or not a religion is true. It takes great...

It's egotistical to claim that your singular life experience hasn't shown you an objective representation of billions of people? I'm sorry, but claimi...

It's possible, I know there's a kind of plastic that can be made using corn. But the thing is, that would just be one kind of plastic, and there are a...

Recycling isn't all it's cracked up to be. Metal recycling (steel, aluminum, copper, etc.) is very effective, but plastic (and even paper) are a very ...

This seems to be a fairly universal trait, in my experience. I know several people who are the same way. They're all very intelligent, but they get of...

I know I'm fairly new here, but in my experience this has been pretty commonplace. I take it you're being facetious here? Or did I read that wrong? We...

I agree! It's funny...the skit is obviously meant as a joke, but in reality it's very good advice in many cases. We have much more control over our ow...

I suppose that is more accurate. I don't see how that example is relevant to this issue. When wealthy people disempower the lower class, it isn't thro...

We're doing philosophy of religion right now. Philosophy of religion is just a philosophical examination of religious concepts. If the God we are refe...

You are in desperate need of Stoicism, my friend. Made me laugh. I discovered the term around the time of the "new atheism" movement, around ten years...

I'm very surprised to see the number of irrational people in this discussion. Looking over the last few pages, Pseudonym seems to be the only one here...

So your problem is that you don't actually have any counter-argument for what you are trying to argue against. You're basically saying "I think this i...

So anything that is believed to be true, and then later shown to be false, is retroactively mental illness? I don't think the ridiculous implications ...

Of course. Logic is something we created to help us explain and understand the world, and it is a very good tool, but why would God be bound by someth...

No, you seem to have interpreted it correctly. Pseudonym apparently isolated one small bit of what I said and ignored the context which caused him/her...

We are not emotionless, unfeeling computers. We are human animals with sometimes irrational, emotional, imperfect brains. Acting as though holding a b...

It seems more and more people all the time are coming to think that any idea or belief that they themselves do not hold is a mental illness or evil or...

I completely agree. I remember when I first learned about relativity, it absolutely blew my mind. But that itself is a perfect example of how careful ...

You're talking about mysticism. We're supposed to be talking about science and philosophy. "Eternal now" isn't a logical term; its not meant to be tak...

I know what you mean. Trying to understand why there is anything rather than nothing is the ultimate mindfuck.

Exactly. To be clear, though, I'm not trying to say that my assertions are objectively true, only that they are what I believe the case is. This issue...

I don't think it could. Time can only measure how long something stays the same if there are other things changing. Time is really relational.

This doesn't seem right to me. Time is really a measurement of change, isn't it? Without any change, time would essentially be standing still.

The very definition of the term "instant" is "a precise moment of time". How is "a moment of time" the same as "no time"? It clearly isn't.

Exactly, and as you pointed out we're talking about events; not objects. That's not at all what I said, you seem to be reading into things what you wa...

Why do you think this? Don't just make a claim, provide your reasoning. I don't think it makes sense for us to be able to understand something that we...

He has since been banned for evangelism, but "OP" can stand for either "original post" or "original poster"--meaning either the first comment in a dis...

We cannot possibly comprehend anything outside of the limitations of our own perception. If something were to be "outside" of time or the universe, we...

That made me chuckle. Well in that scenario you're a grade school child, so I suppose it isn't entirely inaccurate. Jokes aside, though, I already exp...

Your initial statement is rendered irrelevant by the proceeding paragraph, so I'm not sure why you included it. Give me a real-world example of this; ...

You have, inadvertently. I haven't made any claims about the capability of cells, so I have no idea why you're asking me that. Regardless, I'm done en...
