I find it odd that one who claims to have been a friar has such an abrasive character.

Alright have fun with your thread.

More likely Wittgenstein's notion of sense is derived from freges distinction between sense and reference, which has little to do (if anything) with f...

I literally said the same thing as you in my previous posts. I don't know why we are talking past each other. I have said God is not your metaphysical...

Who's God? .

Thinking is the most benign addiction.
February 28, 2022 at 19:32
No there is also the realm of sense experience and the realm of concepts (among other things). You don't know the basics son. God is beyond your metap...
February 28, 2022 at 14:59
Yep you are firmly rooted in the realm of imagination. If you were not holding onto your idea of God it would drift away with the wind. God is an idea...

So for you 'greater' is something in subjective experience? Mass is quantitatively measured.
February 26, 2022 at 15:55
Defining terms is one of the first things that should happen in philosophical discourse. You're trying to claim that there is a generally accepted def...

The only thing you have done so far in this thread is reply with petty remarks and a bad attitude. This is not philosophy and neither does it make any...

I think that all God-related experiences are fingers pointing at the moon. Not the moon itself. Just enough to get a fragrance of the thing. So what w...

How are you 70 years old and as touchy as an angst ridden teenager? I called you neither a liar, nor delusional. And I am not an atheist. Completely w...

God is a concept for you also. No-one experiences God because God is necessarily beyond finite representation. You're in a box, just like the rest of ...
February 25, 2022 at 13:28
Life, love, god. Just a bunch of extremely vague concepts. Also you claimed science has confirmed your opening statement, yet science deals exclusivel...
February 24, 2022 at 15:43
Please give a definition of 'greater' that isn't quantitative. That will perhaps serve as a starting point to understanding the statement in your open...

Nope. Thoughts come into awareness and they drift away. So does all phenomena. The only thing you need to be sure about your existence is awareness.

Ah yes the Irish Bible.

Most Christians today are not aware that the early founders of Christianity were Platonists and there is evidence reincarnation was taught for the fir...

Complications? Yeah I'd say it's pretty damn complicated to do the impossible.

Point out one example of transphobia in this thread.

It took you 3 mins to come to a conclusion that affirms your biases. Nope I will not provide you with more studies that you will not read.

'Saved' has nothing to do with favourable outcome in a particular circumstance. Even most Christians don't mean it that way.

By exploding the penis to smithereens. Don't worry though, it wasn't a real penis and they sewed another one back on afterwards.

Pi defined this way will never give a consistent concrete value. It is only exact in an ideal sense.
