I was in Egypt for a few weeks almost immediately after this. April/May 2011. Peaceful as all heck. Despite the burned out buildings

Suffice to say you are wrong here and just repeating the incorrect descriptions. Abstaining from belief requires no knowledge. It is precisely a lack ...
January 06, 2024 at 22:38
:ok:
January 06, 2024 at 22:13
No. THIS is the misunderstanding of the terms. An atheist merely abstains from belief. They do not assert that God does NOT exist. An agnostic believe...

Fully agree. A-Abrahamic makes more sense I just take it to be a shoddy enumeration of the position I noted. Z
January 06, 2024 at 21:08
Amen. I also think this goes for (perhaps entailed by the above situation) discrimination too. We do it all the time with great success
January 06, 2024 at 20:44
I always take this to mean the person has assessed the claim for that God and rejevted it for lack of evidence - other Gods are next in line for asses...

I agree with this, as a Kantian definition. But I do think there must be an actual “something” from which our senses infer a consistent ratio of chang...
January 06, 2024 at 20:06
no issues with you whatsoever my friend :) we’re all just asking questions!
January 06, 2024 at 19:59
If you’re a Kantian or similar about time. Not everyone is. Beside this, time as a concept describes a pattern which actual does obtain among material...

1. Travelling to another point in time from the one you started from. 2. That precedes the rest so will leave aside. 3. Doesn’t matter. Time might not...
January 06, 2024 at 12:21
Along with your possible solution - I agree with the above and would posit that if that’s true, we are merely seeing the result of that randomness bei...

Nice to hear an agreeable take on Dillahunty. His followers are brutal

It seems im a serious minority but - gross lol

Great last bunch of posts.

Ooof. A lot to unpack here. Suffice to say: I have attempted my life several times. But that has never been due to constant bullying which I have expe...
January 05, 2024 at 22:27
I’ll take that. I am openly not straight and being insulted for it doesn’t bother me because I’m not ashamed.
January 05, 2024 at 22:16
I have always assumed that since the two words are used separately and that they have separate etymologies that they would carry particular and differ...

Just given Letters from a Stoic for Xmas. Diving in.
January 05, 2024 at 05:44
Haven’t read comments but to OP: Agnostics believe we can’t know whether God exists. This doesn’t preclude faith. It’s just not justified true belief....

Maybe He just wants you to think you are…

Hey @"Count Timothy von Icarus"are you actually Tim De Mey? Lol
January 02, 2024 at 21:08
Yes/no but slightly confused. Yes to forgetting entirely and having a commensurate memory scheme installed for the new life to make sense - and yes If...

I was waiting until after Xmas to reply to several responses but this one has drawn me in. It’s my knowledge of what constitutes a legal entity at pla...

Oh, i readily accept that these things are either motivated by, or done in respect of, the contract/s in question. But the resulting obligation consis...

Ok. Amend to “physical records”. Which is my position. But the promise which informs a mortgage is not a mortgage. Careful.
December 22, 2023 at 01:58
No. This needs to read "any record of it whatever, is destroyed" which is the case i made. I literally work in law firm dealing with solely mortgages....
December 22, 2023 at 01:49
Which words? You haven’t answered either: What makes the statement true; or Where your confidence comes from. Neither of your answers are in any way a...
December 22, 2023 at 01:42
Ok. My position is that this is another superfluous comment avoiding where you substantiate your confidence in the truth of moral statements. Im fine ...
December 22, 2023 at 01:33
If there is no record of your company existing, it doesn't exist. Fact. When the company office burned down, there were still plenty of records for th...
December 22, 2023 at 01:32
My understanding of this point is that, while we must infer something "in-itself" causes our phenomenal impressions, which in turn create our percepti...
December 22, 2023 at 01:30
You seem to be trying quite hard to avoid this, which was why I changed the question.
December 22, 2023 at 01:13
That’s because they also exist in a register which is a physical thing also. But if the records are destroyed those things do not persist. They are th...
December 22, 2023 at 01:12
Is the only coherent justification for moral truth other than divine command presented, though.
December 22, 2023 at 00:51
Ok. Accepted. But this doesn’t establish a state of affairs as claimed.
December 22, 2023 at 00:49
At base, they are physical objects in the world. How people behave as regards those facts is not.
December 22, 2023 at 00:48
Oh. Ok. I cannot escape the thought that you are contradicting yourself. Let me shift the question: From where does your confidence in that claim come...
December 22, 2023 at 00:17
:ok:
December 21, 2023 at 23:48
It's not, though. It's the case that a rule exists forbidding it. Not that one ought obey the rule. And in any case, the claim here would be "One ough...

After some more digging, it looks to me like the top total number is in flux, and trades off between Mandarin and English. Variously, there are 1.4-1....

Right right; i followed that element of the exchange; but I anticipate what i've pointed out may be a defense to your charge. If he's, unfortunately, ...
December 21, 2023 at 23:36
Fwiw, this is incoherent. The words have no coercive power. The threat of losing his/her job might. But that's not on the judge/s by the other comment...

He used the word 'verify'. I don't think he's equivocating the two the way you are
