You are welcome to disagree. That is what philosophical debates are about. But it would be better if you could explain why you disagree, rather than j...

The furthest and most solid evidence and proof I got on the existence of God was the word God, which I can see, read and type on the computer screen. ...

No, they are not nonsense at all. We all had such questions and ideas at some point in our lives for sure. It is an interesting point, and this is wha...
December 29, 2024 at 01:17
Good point. But electrical / chemical reactions in the brain are not ideas themselves. Electrons and chemical particles exist everywhere in the univer...

The reasoned beauty tends to be objective and universal in its quality and value, because that is the prime property of rationality and reason. The em...
December 28, 2024 at 14:03
Could it be space and time which makes every objects and events in the universe unique and contingent? There can be no object which can share the same...

When you were talking about the missed opportunity for waking up from Dogmatic Slumber, it reminded me of Kant's position when he rejected Wolff and L...
December 28, 2024 at 13:52
The art critiques would use rationality and reasoning in analysing the art objects such as paintings and sculptures. In this case analysis based on th...

Beauty is a property of the object perceived by mind, and has psychological nature. In that sense, beauty is more subjective judgement rather than obj...

Doesn't it sound too pessimistic and prejudging? :D According to Kant, you fall into dogmatic slumber when you accept groundless ideas and beliefs of ...

Everyone couldn't fail to notice that it was neither a wise nor intelligent choice of the words in philosophical debate.
December 27, 2024 at 14:38
Some folks seem to think the platonic objects do exist in the real world, but it seems to be the cause for the confusion. As you say Platonic objects ...
December 27, 2024 at 13:27
Ok, fair enough. I declare the same. Please don't write poems in philosophical debates. That is my advice to you.
December 27, 2024 at 12:35
The meaning of exist from English dictionary seem too wide and loose. Of course people use words in all sort of different contexts and meanings in ord...
December 27, 2024 at 12:32
Of course things exist in the external world. I was not denying that. The traffic lights exist, and when the red light is showing, you must stop, and ...
December 27, 2024 at 12:16
It still sounds a mental event or process resulted from perception and understanding. Would you say the narratives exist in the external world?
December 27, 2024 at 11:28
Could it be the case that the world with many Gods would allow the people more freedom to choose which God to worship, therefore allow more creativity...
December 27, 2024 at 11:22
If you keep beating around the bush just trying to tell the same nonsense, then everyone would say to you, stop telling nonsense. That doesn't mean yo...
December 27, 2024 at 01:06
Manifestation could be a good word for some abstract entities. Instead of saying "X exists", X manifested sounds more logical. I heard of some narrati...
December 27, 2024 at 01:00
Maybe we could analyse different modes of existence? I still believe that physical existence is different from the conceptual existence. There are man...
December 27, 2024 at 00:53
I don't agree that God is a person. I have never heard anyone saying God is a person. Can you prove God is a person? Just because I don't agree with y...
December 27, 2024 at 00:44
That is exactly why I felt you have been talking nonsense. It seemed that there was no progress in the debate, because you kept coming back with the s...
December 27, 2024 at 00:36
It is not my interest in only discussing the traditional religious God in the OP. The OP started with no prejudice that omnipotent being can be only G...
December 26, 2024 at 10:52
Good point. They don't exist at all. They are the inferred entity which were conceptualised. I don't deny the validity of the concepts. But they don't...
December 26, 2024 at 10:44
All thoughts are mental entities or operations, hence they are private to the thinker. The ordinary folks would say thoughts exist, but it is a vague ...
December 26, 2024 at 00:57
You must come up with at least some premises which are objective i.e. omnipotent being(s) as God in the traditional religions, which we know of in the...
December 25, 2024 at 22:22
But your hypothetical or hypothesized ideas are too subjective and cloud catching story, I cannot even imagine what you are even talking about. We nee...
December 25, 2024 at 22:19
That is my logical inference. If you think it is not correct, then prove it wrong. If a being is omnipotent, then it cannot die. If it can die, then i...
December 25, 2024 at 22:09
But there are the traditional deities such as the Christian God, the ancient Egyptian deities and the other Gods which we could have some clues from t...
December 25, 2024 at 22:08
This seems to be the problem in your thinking, which is leading you to the faulty reasoning. You are equating God with a person. They cannot be the sa...
December 25, 2024 at 21:57
If a being is omnipotent, then the being cannot die. If being can die, then it is not an omnipotent being. Therefore you are talking nonsense here.
December 25, 2024 at 21:53
I still don't know who your omnipotent being is, you are talking about. And it seems clear that you don't know who you are talking about either. You s...
December 25, 2024 at 21:51
What exactly would the being be without being God?
December 25, 2024 at 08:49
I am not quite sure what you are talking about here. Perhaps if you could let me know which God you are talking about, and also the nature of the exis...
December 25, 2024 at 02:05
No it is not. It is an analogy or inference based on the ancient Egyptian God which is the Sun. If we could make another analogy on the Sun and force ...
December 25, 2024 at 02:04
My above posts were some inferences I made based on the ancient Egyptian God Sun. It is not my own claim just in case you might demand me to clarify o...
December 24, 2024 at 21:00
I agree. Therefore it is quite meaningless to keep on talking about God without clarifying which God one is talking about. First, we need to make clea...
December 24, 2024 at 19:00
The ancient Egyptian God was the Sun. Sun was the source of life, and energy which made all life in the world possible. Sun is also vital for growing ...
December 24, 2024 at 18:52
Ok cool :up: According to my logic book, you can make any assumptions in proof so long as they are relevant and within the context, and would help com...
December 24, 2024 at 14:59
You definitely said they are invalid. Hence this talking is going on now. Anyway, you don't seem to understand what assumption means. Why should assum...
December 24, 2024 at 14:28
You have not given any reasons why they are invalid, so I am not sure what point are invalid. You just think they are invalid doesn't mean anything to...
December 24, 2024 at 14:22
As I said repeatedly, they are the assumptions which could be analysed and clarified by arguments. They are not the final concluding claims. If you cl...
December 24, 2024 at 14:16
The assumptions were not claiming anything was valid or invalid. They were just assumptions. Whereas you made claims that you think the assumptions we...
December 24, 2024 at 13:52
Assumption are made for further reasoning and inference possibilities. Assumptions are not for claiming my ideas or converting people's ideas. You are...
December 24, 2024 at 13:19
To my understanding you are distorting the fact. I was only making assumptions and inviting the prospective interlocutors to contribute their own logi...
December 24, 2024 at 13:03
You made your counter claims on the assumptions, but you have not given out any logical or evidential arguments on why your claims are valid, and my a...
December 24, 2024 at 12:31
When you say "the concept of myth", does it mean something like Platonic world of idea, which is separated from the material world, and out of reach? ...
December 24, 2024 at 10:35
The OP is not asking about an omnipotent person, but omnipotent God. The first puzzle is what type of existence God has. If God has biological bodily ...
December 24, 2024 at 09:50
I was just replying to the posts directed to me. No agenda at all. You seem to be wrong on everything you say. My replies had been already give out on...
