When you say "I have a desire to kill.", it is not a logical conclusion, but a desire, which is a psychological state. Maybe logical thinking has prov...

Yes, I think so too. A great post. Thank you.

Logic is just tools for checking if the sentences are consistent without contradictions and fallacies in the arguments or propositions. There are diff...

I think it is largely due to the invention of language. When the first humans appeared on the Earth, they probably didn't have language. But then, on ...

I concur. Atheist are on their own, that is a tough position to be. Agnostics are in the dark, but have hopes. Theist are having it all too easy - all...

And Science can answer the questions assuringly and comfortably, because they are observable via direct experience and sense data available.

Yes ! Absurdity !

When the doubting has exhausted, one will decide either to keep doubting or become an atheist? Reasoning itself alone, will not cause someone to decid...

Once reason understands the limitation of its own capability, it then realises that possible options available is either jumping into the abyss of fai...

I was thinking about "WHY" question again, and it seem to me that "WHY" only exists in human mind. Once we are looking outside world, there is no "WHY...

Not sure if history or religions can offer us meaningful answers for the questions for the obvious reasons. No, I don't presume that we have reached a...

A great song. :up: :smile: :pray:

I feel that members who initially started personal attacks and abuse on other members in the threads on the basis of gender, social status, race, beli...

Sure. Please enjoy your readings. Thank you for sharing. :up: :pray: :smile:

Wow, a Korean Philology teacher in Madrid, and wrote poetry in Spanish? Sounds interesting.

The name sounds like Korean. A Korean poet?

Understandable logical consistency on Nietzsche, when he had praised for the Superman?

Thought it would tell something about what people think of intelligence when they are blindly smitten by it. :D Yes, the OP, quite surprising actually...

I believe that philosophy is not for those who are intelligent beings, but for those who are seeking truths. If I were intelligent, I wouldn't be here...

No, Lucian Freud. He might be more exciting.

Yes, that was what I have been saying too. Emotions seem have taken over the reasoning. :)

Sounds like IQ test is your God. :D Of course it is full of mistakes and bogus sham system. No one should be judged by any system or any one. People n...

Just mentioned Freud, because it could help analyse your unconscious or hidden motives for obsessing yourself with IQ tests. Although, I know it, I wi...

There are also loads of low standard books for sale obviously written by the writers for making quick and easy money. Sure, they must be written with ...

Test your own IQ. Sounds like you are deeply obsessed with your own IQ. Read more books and try to learn.

I don't feel it is a good idea to continue arguments for philosophical debates with you. You are too emotional, and egocentric. There is nothing good ...

When you are that much hyper emotional, obviously you cannot tell good thinking from bad ones. I wouldn't expect that capability from you.

I don't think you are interested in philosophical debates, but looking and begging for some psychological engaging. Keep on arguing with yourself.

The problem is that our reasons work on the basis of the external sense data by being there in the world and situations, but unfortunately and unfairl...

If you are a theist, all the answers are in the bible or your own religious scripts, if atheist, then you would be either existentialist, phenomenolog...

I feel it is very important and meaningful to ask and have debates on these topics. It is not the conclusions which matters in most of the time, but t...

Before trying to answer the question, I would ask first, whether the question is a valid one to be answered. When asking "why" questions, it is normal...

Yes, it looks like the OP is presuming God exists, and listing Gods negative aspects.

Another point I was wondering was, if Einstein's brain had been exactly replicated, and transplanted into another person, would it then wake up a pers...

I used to go by Functionalism (https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/functionalism/), and then Epiphenomenalism (https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/epiph...

If these beliefs affect one's psychological state and decisions and action foundation, then agnosticism wouldn't be better or more prudent, as it woul...

Forget about intelligent being, going back to God making mistakes, I think it is again absurd to imagine that an omniscient being to make mistakes, be...

An intelligent being would listen, debate intelligently and correct the logical problems in his OP, when it is proven unclear and unintelligent.

You have been arguing with yourself not reading my points.

Never said you were wrong. I was giving my points to the OP, and your further points. I could be wrong. I will never say I am right. But those were my...

I have re-read the OP, and came to a couple of points. 1. To claim that God exists, you must supply some sort of arguments, proofs or theories, why it...

Sorry, I was just trying to clarify your points which looked unclear. Will go back and read the OP, and see what I can find more. Please carry on. Tha...

"does not own some paintings" is not clear which paintings he is talking about. Paintings of Picasso? Miro? Shargal? It is because the premise said th...

"Some paintings" is unclear, what it actually denotes in the statement, therefore is not meaningful. Is fake real? Of course not. Has the speaker mean...

Sounds like a self-contradictory statement to me. But that is what I feel about it. Will read the OP again, and see what I can find more. Thanks.

I am not sure where you picked up the definition. Maybe from the books, internet sites or even the Bible? But if you are philosophical, then you shoul...

Sorry, Bartricks. I was under impression that if you begin with false definition or supposition, then you will end up with false arguments and conclus...

I feel all this is just guess work and imagination, if 1. one doesn't know and have not proved God exists. 2. doesn't know which God he is talking abo...

Does God exist?
