I don't know that it's possible to discuss "woke" effectively with how much it's been used and misued over the years, but frankly I couldn't be happie...
I would not think that constraining philosophical beliefs to a specific framework and set of assumptions would make it not philosophy. It may not be *...
I'm not sure I would agree. Theology is a subset of philosophy dealing specifically within religious thought, as I see it. Religion was the original p...
I would agree, though my understanding was that it was more our fault than his according to doctrine. It's not a requirement, but Christianity hits lo...
Perhaps a bit of a tangent, but one interpretation of Christianity I really liked both before and after losing my faith was C.S. Lewis's interpretatio...
I tend to agree with your cyclical reading of the universe, so theoretically the only points where time would "end" would be in the infinite singulari...
Thank you; it just tracks too well to not be intentional. The Holy Spirit fulfills most of the functions that people of the time would have likely ass...
What if a person derives pleasure from suffering or suffering from pleasure? I'm not sure this is complex enough a theory to account for the human con...
1) I mean, I agree that it is very easy to read God's actions as toxic and abusive from the outside; the Christian narrative only really works if you ...
The argument would likely be: 1) Because he made us and loves us (he's called "the Father" very intentionally) 2) They would say love without choice i...
The argument I was told was that without the ability to choose, humans couldn't have truly loved God. God allegedly gave us free will knowing we would...
I was taught that it wasn't so much rules beyond his control so much as the sin-nature makes us incompatible with his pure divinity. The distinction d...
Yeah, the argument is that humans were permanently tainted by the fall, which required the sacrifice of Jesus to make humans redeemable. The logic is ...
As a former Christian, I was taught that the point was that God is perfect, and, by his nature, cannot allow imperfection/sin into heaven. The sacrifi...
The difference is we can control and monitor the number and distribution of refugees and legal immigrants. And no, I disagree about the education angl...
Mostly when I say too far I mean they are using showy but ineffective methods by only going after individuals (and sometimes getting it wrong) instead...
Something I have often pondered. I have thoughts on that regarding the self and the transmission of ideas. Perhaps what we experience as empathy is be...
I will admit, I get a bit heated on this topic due to prior experiences, so I would like to be more fair. I don't like that racists are getting off on...
I do believe they are similar yet distinct. The way I see it, "sympathy" is recognizing someone else's situation and that it's not a situation you wou...
I just do not accept your assertions, and I am beyond tired of hearing any opposition to illegal immigration as racist. The figures you are quoting ar...
Get old without government support or proper cultural assimilation, at that. A recipe for disaster. It's frustrating that the only progressive issues ...
It's a difficult conclusion to come to in today's world, but I believe a necessary one. Too often the road to hell is paved with good campaign promise...
Agreed, though this seems incredibly short sighted on their part imo with the looming automation and AI revolution currently happening around us. We'r...
Agreed. Part of my frustration and eventual break with the Democrats is that I have been pulling my hair out since 2016 trying to make them realize th...
Agreed. But 3rd parties are rarely what I would call effective at winning. I think this is a problem and at least partially due to suppression from th...
I disagree. While admittedly it's unlikely that EVERY politician is irrdeemably evil, I actually find it freeing, as the constant moral litigation of ...
Fair, I am open to discussion, I just find the constant back and forth moral litigation of politicians to be a waste of time when I believe that being...
This is the same discussion reframed. If it is not already obvious to you why high level politicians inherently tend towards being bad people, I am no...
A politician that furthered my goals perfectly would not do those things. If you will not change your approach, I will not respond further. To throw y...
Again, I will not do this with you. I think most if not all politicians are morally reprehensible people, so this line of thought is profoundly uncomp...
Just seems bad faith to conflate the two, when the very quote you used had him referring to multiple different races of illegal immigrant. I have a ha...
I just said I don't find this kind of back and forth helpful. It exists and we both know it; I refuse to get in to a quote slinging contest with you. ...
He should be fired then, but again, I'm sure I could find deplorable people in every administration. Politicians tend to be bad people, in my experien...
I think people in every administration have said and done racist things. It is an unfortunate reality that there will probably always be racists, and ...
No, I agree, the internal rabbit holing and propaganda on this wide a scale is a uniquely modern problem. The first part was referring to politics alw...
In the sake of fairness, I wonder if this is a semantic issue at heart. I've lived in both big cities and small towns; 5 blocks in a big city can be n...
Tbf it's not a common term. I'm an old sci-fi nerd, lol. I would probably agree, but further posit we are post-mass media to a degree, as the internet...
