But your use of the term "gratuitous" is an injection of your judgment upon the acts of God, which is only to say you've inserted your non-theistic wo...

Should the fawn have not burned and lived a perfect life in a pristine utopian forest, and should have every one of God's creatures have done the same...

Whenever a thread is created asking for advice of some sort, I assume it's a round about way of trying to get me to weigh in. In the future, you can j...

I certainly hope not. The fact that millions of Americans, including politicians, business leaders, and ordinary citizens, wake every morning driven p...

Right, because all lawyers and educated folks are Democrats and smart and all rural white conservatives are dumb as shit. Only morons buy into the lib...

I draw a distinction between what is good for America and what is unAmerican. What is good for America is a pragmatic question. What is un-American is...

I do believe there is something thematic about the Constitution, and I don't know of an Amendment that has violated that theme, but I suppose it's hyp...

I'm sure you would. I have universal appeal.

Whether it's awesome or not, I don't know. But that there is an ideology associated with America is obvious, easily decipherable from the Constitution...

That's not what I said. I said that there are American ideals, so I'm not sure how you got what you said from what I said. I also have to call bullshi...

I will for now on spend more time unpacking the nuance impregnated in your posts. You don't know what I'm under the false impression about. Only I kno...

You said that only one vote mattered, which was a reference to the one vote the people make at the ballot box. That's how that works. In terms of whet...

You seem to forget that the majority vote isn't relevant. Campaigning is strategized around the electoral college system, so whether Trump would have ...

The reason people keep saying the polls aren't accurate is because they aren't. They did the polling by state and incorrectly predicted wins in the va...

Ahh yes, the objective research shows that America does not want what Trump offers but the Trump voters are too stupid to vote for what they want. The...

No because that suggests that Trump wasn't voted into office.

This presupposes that the majority doesn't want what Trump offers. What you mean to say is that your hope is that US politics is brought into alignmen...

Murder is defined as "the unlawful premeditated killing of one human being by another."

The paltry quantity is offset by the superior quality. It is here most come for the final word on all topics.

Possibly, or just rationalizations for bad behavior.

Tzedakah is the Hebrew word for charity, and it is mandatory, and it generally agile should be 10% of your income under the tithe rules. That's the Je...

There's a third option, which is that you give out of a feeling of obligation because it's your duty. I'd submit that is the highest option and the on...

It's that time of year again. February 7th resolutions. Let's hear them folks. And please, this time in alphabetical order so I can more easily enter ...

I think the OP makes abundantly clear the purpose of his thread. Perhaps review the first post and you'll fully understand it. If you haven't yet take...

And you confuse the fact that I'm not confused. Knowledge requires truth. Your assertion that your cat is on the chair asserts it is true the cat is o...

I just don't understand this. I thought "He's on the chair" iff he's on the chair, but you seem to be using some other method for determining that he'...

I get that metaphysics is different from epistemology, but epistemology relies upon metaphysics because the T in the JTB is a direct link to what is. ...

This site is entirely the creation of the divine, so you are correct in searching for the mystical meaning impregnated in its structure and in every p...

The point is that the cat's being on the mat isn't dependent upon your seeing it. That was your point at least. As you noted: How do I know the cat is...

So you see your cat not on your mat? So, your cat is on the mat if you see him on the mat?

Right now, your cat, your mat. Is your cat on your mat right now? @"Banno"

I'm quite certain my question demands a yes, no, or I don't know. You've failed to answer. I've not posited an objection. In asked a question.

Is your cat on your mat or not?

I'm not looking for the definition of when "the cat is on the mat is true. In your house, you have a cat and a mat, right? Is the cat on the mat?

I acknowledged that. Scroll up and you'll see. But we've said nothing of whether the cat is on the mat. We've only explained what makes a statement tr...

I didn't claim to be a philosopher, and I'm sure not a scientist, so I must be a theologian. My faith in the cat being on the mat saves me from one fo...

To the extent truth is taken to mean what really is, devoid of any subjective judgment, it is unknowable. I think Kant clarified that. So, if we have ...

Are we now arguing that certain criminals are not entitled to representation and those who choose to represent them are of low moral character? And ev...

The American experience has been that the democracy has been the great protector of the people. Take civil rights, for example. It was the democracy t...

This has to do with believing that the highest determinant of truth in a democracy is the direct voice of the people and the refusal to over-rule the ...

My point was that the articles of impeachment under which Trump stands trial before the Senate relate only to obstruction of the Ukrainian investigati...

Of course you can. You can impeach over anything. That has been proven. There was never a citation of contempt issued by Congress. He wasn't in contem...

The Republican platform is in having limited confidence in the government. I think there's a case to be made that American ideology is founded in dist...

I think he said he wouldn't do that. There aren't going to be any witnesses. The theater is going to come to a close, but everyone knew how this movie...

He wasn't charged with obstructing the Mueller investigation. The Articles of Impeachment charged him with obstructing Congress during the impeachment...

I think we do attempt to address the causes of suicide, but I'm sure you're right that it's not sufficiently. But where you use C, I think it's also c...

This is irrelevant to the question of the OP of whether you were just. You obviously wonder if you were objectively just because you asked the questio...

You suffered from psychosis, you were heavily biased against the guy, and the only evidence of guilt came from an ex-wife. I'm not convinced the guy w...
