Either that or it's that Sharpton is as bad as Trump says. https://www.nytimes.com/2019/07/31/opinion/al-sharpton-trump.html To be a Democrat are you ...
It's not a category error. It's a definitional issue, where you wish to limit the definition of spiritual knowledge as that which is received in a mys...
This begs the question of what constitutes a valid justification. The fundamentalist would claim that astrophysics is a failed enterprise because it h...
To reset the discussion: The OP asks what the epistemic standard is for spiritual knowledge, and I've asserted it doesn't vary from spiritual knowledg...
An Evangelical Fundamentalist, for example, would declare himself a foundationalist, asserting truth is founded in the Bible and that it can't be chal...
This is doubtful. Unless the connoisseur leaves his criteria vague, it is likely an AI program can distinguish such things as musicianship and Zen mas...
I don't see how this follows. Upon what basis do you assert the scientific method is the only valid justification ? The OP asks for an epistemologic s...
Why couldn't a spiritual belief be based upon a justified true belief just as a physical one? The earth was created in 6 days if I have a justificatio...
As an example of this, in Exodus, God instructs the Hebrews to celebrate Passover in the future by eating matzoh for 7 days each year. This instructio...
I thought the archeological record showed little evidence of Egyptian presence in Israel after the Exodus, which is why many doubt 1,000,000 Israeli/E...
This is a common claim, but I think incorrect. The Hebrew is clear that it's referring to God as one, not that Yawheh alone is Israel's God. Echad mea...
I agree with what you've said here, and the theory is that the Egyptian Jews were the Levites, the priests, descendants of Moses, and the ones who wer...
For example, compare the early God who has children who have sex with humans: Genesis 6:4 "In those days, and for some time after, giant Nephilites li...
If you turn to Orthodox Judaism, you are left with the strange belief that the Torah was written entirely by God through Moses. (See Maimonides 8th pr...
The conception of God (and His behavior) changed over time, particularly after Moses' departure after Exodus. So, reference to the Mosaic God does ref...
Is this correct? I know that Judaism, Christianity, and Islam believe in the Abrahamic God, just by virtue of Ishmael and Isaac having the same father...
Old school traditional father son relationships were odd. My dad was omni-present but never really there. I thought he was just quirky, regimented, ce...
I have often felt that the feeling of losing a loved one falls somewhere on a spectrum, at one end devastation and the other end emancipation and then...
There are certainly oppressive governments that limit their citizens wealth to the point of starvation. Those tend to be communist ones (I know, I kno...
I'm a modern day Shakespeare. I like to think of the baby batter being puffed into the loins as opposed to pecker snot pumping out in chunky spurts. T...
I'm just a little stressed. You mother refuses to lubricate with anything but hand soap and I'm completely raw, but I do smell of heavenly lavender. I...

If your objective is to maximize your income, then you have to choose an occupation that provides that. I don't advocate chasing money. It's a hollow ...
I've not suggested the purpose of our creation is to maximize production or that there is an inherent good in maximizing one's financial success. That...

Yeah, I think it was the Levites who would have benefited from some of the sacrifices, but the Levites main source of food was from the tithe, which w...
You're now equating Marxist philosophy to socialism in practice, which I don't think really equates. I would expect a business major to learn the effe...

Curious how those with business majors (economics, finance, etc.) can't understand socialism. You'd think a better explanation is that they do underst...
