The awe of what, if not the divine? The Cartesian res divina, instead of the res cogitans or the res extensa. And you don't think that any of that is ...
No, Tolkien was a Catholic. With that in mind, look at this part: It's talking about a memory as ancient as the Paleolithic, when everyone was a nomad...
I'm an atheist. Am I forced to agree with you? Do I have to "get along" with you, as you yourself say? Then it is worthy of worship, by the literal de...
Who says that we have to get along? Creatures kill each other. We are creatures. Why should we not kill each other? I'll tell you why: because it woul...
You say that like there's something wrong with it. Is there? Philosophically speaking. "he", who? Jesus Christ? Yes, he's worthy of worship, is what a...
Think of it like this, Moliere. We've become accustomed to the idea that God incarnate (i.e., Jesus Christ) should be a sort of Nietzschean Over-man. ...
Others might accuse you of a Freudian slip. Luckily for you, I don't believe in pseudoscience. Why wouldn't they be? The word "pathetic" is etymologic...
Or perhaps anyone who performs miracles has, or is, a res divina, either wholly or in part, in addition to having, or being, a res cogitans as well as...
In Islam, it is a truth that Jesus performed miracles, so did Muhammed. The composition of the Qur'an itself was Muhammed's miracle. In Cartesian term...
It's a phrase from Being and Time. Ask @"Joshs" about it, he thinks it's an important phrase for some reason, and I would agree, but I think that my r...
That's why I said it. We can't speak too much in Spanish, in this Forum, even though this Thread is called Ontology of Time. Think of it like this: He...
I'm against the oppression of cattle, even as an Argentine. At some point, we all stop being adolescents and we become men and women instead. It is no...
Pangea forms and disperses every now and then. It's done it several times in the past. The craziest thing though is that New Zeland has its own (sunke...
Do you say that as a Sufi, or as an atheist, or simply as a fan of Omar Khayyam? I would argue that no atheist book can be as good as a theist book, b...
Well I mean, there's Australian Paraguayans. We've been over this, in this Thread. And some (not all) of my Goddam neighbors want to call themselves "...
:roll: It was a rhetorical question, mate. I already knew it was your site. Why do you think I even linked to it? Impressive task. Clearly, Omar Khayy...
Nah mate. Just some families that were into the lumberjack business. Their idea was: plant a ton of Eucalyptus, chop em, sell them, repeat. This isn't...
There's nothing incoherent about the idea of a single unique essence. It's called pantheism. Spinoza was a pantheist, unlike Descartes, for example. O...
But the rest of the Universe is under no obligation to share your purposes. But physics is not the only ontology. Geology is ontological, just as phys...
Because physics is not the only materialist science. Geology is materialist, Biology is materialist, Sociology is materialist, etc. Sounds interesting...
Nah mate, physicalism is the crass version of scientific materialism. I've a paper on this as well, though it's not been published yet (it will be pub...
I prefer these other Roots: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1zLb4s3dsxg I'm saying that the Declaration of Independence was a necessary (but insuffici...
But without the Declaration of Independence (1776), there would not have been a Constitution (1787), nor a ratification of it (1788). And without a Co...
