Watching election results trickling in. Predictions are a Republican takeover. I predict long fought out draws in every race.

Again, you're just reiterating your reliance upon the correspondence theory of truth (in all caps no less) without offering a basis for it. These are ...
November 08, 2022 at 14:51
This ignores the argument from pragmatism and falls back to a correspondence epistemology and just restates it. If it is the belief that God is on our...

The other explanation is that it's just a simple etiological fable, attempting to explain why pregnancy is painful, people have to work, and why snake...

I know that's the Mormon position.

It is not only metaphor that provides flexibility in determining biblical meaning, but so does attempts at literalism. Genesis 1:1 to 1:3, King James ...

This is addressed in the William James article I attached. A pragmatically based will to believe does not equate to a will to make believe.

It's faith to the extent I don't question it despite it lacking the sort of proof we typically require for most other things we accept as true. On the...
November 07, 2022 at 19:54
Strikes me as a non-starter. The theistic position from my perspective isn't one demanding proof, but only that it's compatible with rationality and m...

I don't understand why evolution wouldn't offer as much an explanation for the development of mental powers as it does for physical development. In ev...

If it can't, then what does explain it?
November 07, 2022 at 13:34
The correlation between theism and evolution denying/questioning is minimal, with some atheists even denying/questioning evolution. https://www.google...

I know. Like oral sex.
November 07, 2022 at 00:41
To claim theists reject evolution assumes "theism" is a specific belief system with a universally held theology. It's not. If it were, we wouldn't hav...

If government is to anarchy as theism is to atheism, then if the solution to theistic evil is atheism, then the solution to governmental evil is anarc...

I'm going to start a thread about how much motivation it takes to start a thread. Manana.

Maybe I'll turn her into a man with my facial modification app. The possible multiple levels of embedded AI should make us wonder even more what is re...

My dad used to call them aye-curns. He also called bolts boats and Koreans co-ree-uns. Other than that, he talked pretty normal.

I bit into a piece of pizza and cracked my tooth in half. THAT was the worst and most expensive pizza slice ever.

I'm curious how the data was compiled. A "threat" means what and who must it be reported to to be included in the data? How long have they kept such d...

The lasciviousness on her face is projected by your mind, not from the paint. I just see a cartoon.

I'd recognize Pippi Longstocking anywhere. I'm not sure why you're so offended. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pippi_Longstocking

Hank Williams, Jr. was popular when I was in college. His songs haven't really stood the test of time: "If the South Woulda Won, We Woulda had it Made...

I did some research and found that III begot the illegitimate Coleman Williams. In case you want to see what the next generation of American country m...

I was not familiar with Mrs. Doyle, so I watched a bunch of clips of her on YouTube. Really unfunny stuff. She must be a caricature of an Irish aunt o...

You're not wrong here, but I choose the later abuse over the abuse of openly trying to leave early, or even worse, being forced to remain longer than ...

Speaking of the Scottish, we would call it an "Irish Goodbye" when you would leave a party or get together by just leaving without telling anyone. I a...

I don't get it. His dad said he might be chips, and then he saw a bag of chips. Also, it's mom, not mum. Chips, not crisps. C minus.

Can't find a pair of pants like that anymore.

If the meaning of the cartoon is so obvious, fill us in on its meaning. You probably only get it because you are a fellow cartoonist, whereas me, I'm ...

I agree. The hair straight up in the air makes no sense, nor does their disparate level of dress. Perhaps the artist's original idea was to have her l...

I like that imagery, of a butterfly taking the unprocessed experiences of the earlier day and dusting the room with them. Hanover - 1, @"Baden" - 0.

Ahem. Perhaps an oversight, but I too am quite the drawer, if I should say so myself. You can check out some of my work by perusing this site.
