"Christian thinking" is an oxymoron. I don't think Christians think much, but there's no doubt that Christians are locked in an ideological war with I...

Who started the last 50 wars on earth??? Christians.

Alcohol, fat, sugar, tobacco, and many other common substances have the same risks when you ignore the importance of saying how much and for how long ...

On the matter of Chromosome damage. `When the government asks for evidence of the harm of something, it is the easiest target to shoe damage. Put suga...

You are trying to convince me that we can only carry on if we tell our children fairy stories?

Is there evidence of this?

Do you accept innocent until proven guilty? Then why the sacking? Do you accept that a person has a right to know the details of the accusation and th...

And yet he did not have the benefit of natural justice. He was suspended from the party on an accusation and did not even know the name of his accuser...

Excuse me??? I think not! Care to justify that absurdity?

Sometimes "why" is utterly misguided. Why me? Why is the sky blue? Why something and not nothing? Before you ask 'why', you need to consider if your q...

Sometimes men think what they do is harmless, but they are too insensitive to see the harm they do. Sometimes "banter" is not harmless and is a subtle...

THC is not physically addictive, like some drugs which have serious withdrawal symptoms in which illness can follow abstinence. But as with some other...

You shall not suffer a witch to live. Aside from that the Bible is basically a litany of smiting, war and conquest.

Neither of your responses are relevant. It is simply a case in point that Christians do not follow scripture and I prefer to judge them by their deeds...

How about this one, next time you cast your eye over a woman? How many 'christians' are going to take this advice? 5:28 But I say unto you, That whoso...

I'm not subject to anything when it comes to the thread question, no.

Christian "scripture" has bugger all to do with what Christians do; never has, never will. How many Christians would follow THIS advice from Matthew? ...

You are talking rubbish. You are talking about what is "GOOD". My utility to others is not relevant to that.

This is a very odd question. Happiness is a state of being, a feeling. Feelings do not stem from reason. The question does not make any sense whatever...

You might do well to wake-up and try thinking rather than sleeping.

Perceiving is the continual construction of objects represented by our mentality. All perception is mental.

Inherently nonsensical. "You are only as good as your utility" I can tell you that I am as good as I want to be, and have no interest in being utilise...

So - you are asking Agustino, if he can back-up a mythical idea ?

Exactly , what?

No True Scotsman FALLACY.

Was it? Where does it say single-shot muskets were to attack the government? Nowhere. The 2nd amendment was to enable the "militia" to be armed and re...

So - let's imagine that other people's thoughts and feelings are part of your external world. let me take your point. So what? What's the point of thi...

So I've heard humans torture and murder their fellows, even christians. But we are not exhausted by love or hate, but have those aspects in us. Reptil...

It's like you can't read. Do you have a point here? If so, why not make it?

Love is not possession. Such is foolishness of our peri-christian world of chattel/marriage.

I understood perfectly what you said. Feelings are internal. Though it is clear that others may have them, you do not have access to feeling of others...

Your theory is just another cracked pot, leaking and dripping with wishful thinking and hopelessness. What has this to say about Pascal's Wager? Nothi...

Then you are not paying attention. Love is the glue that has given mammals a major advantage and is the feeling that encourages a mother to give her s...

WTF? What are you talking about. Nothing you say seems to follow.

This is cart before the horse. "IT" is not a collection of virtues, but the concepts of those virtues are imposed on those feelings to hope to describ...

The feelings are various. you can nominate as many words to describe them, but love seems to cover it. I'd argue that such a feeling is part of what i...

No feelings are not part of outer reality - obviously! You can talk about feelings - other people's inner reality, but you can't ask the painting if i...

Please refer to the most I made some moments ago.

Your last post contains two contradictions and one diversion. Either have a discussion or don't. But make up your mind.

It's how my dog and I feel about one another.

So you are saying you get into heaven by reducing your skepticism about god to a weak willed acceptance? Is that it?

I think you might be confused by the use of "subject" in this instance.

What you think in this regard bears little regard for the truth. You can believe what you want to believe. And your own personal delusion is a case in...

You are not making any sense.

You seem to be saying nothing, as "Things" not properties of the observed objects is exactly what I mean = Values. Values are inherent to the observer...

I don't know, and neither do you, but reality relies on it. The ideal prededes everything.

Are you asking a rhetorical question? I do not really understand what you are saying. Tell me this, for clarity: What would you have to do to get into...

what are you on about? Let me ask you this. If someone is invited to play Pascal's wager in medieval China, do you think "jesus" whatever the hell tha...

Yes, what is clear is that beauty is in the eye of the beholder to use a well worn phrase. Such has to be the case with all value judgements.
