Oh dear, could you possible explain why they are not valid? It seems to me that they are perfectly valid. Or would that explanation be something else ...

Awe shucks, ain't that nice. And you mean a lot to a lot of us as well. :victory:

A word of advice, you will get over the stressful period of your life as soon as you figure out that it is not worth worrying about. Whatever is going...

The rational intuitions of my philosophical mind leads me to the following conclusions but not necessarily beliefs: 1. god created mankind 2. god's gu...

But this begs the question, did you ever read it? I thought it was very entertaining. I can send you a copy if you tell me where to send it to. For fr...

So I take it that not only are you not going to prove the existence of god, but you are also incapable of drawing the Venn diagram to prove your point...

Err, Have I not made that clear already? The feeling is mutual. But I have the advantage of not having to make up a lot of bullshit. Makes it easier f...

I am still waiting.

I'm waiting for it. For the most simple reason. If god does exist and continues to look favorably on antinatalism, then the the two are compatible or ...

If god exists without mankind, then yes, god is compatible with antinatalism. Have fun proving he would exist.

Would god still exist if mankind stopped procreating? If you can prove that he would, then the answer would be yes.

So I am not the only one that could not think of anything to say. Maybe he has it right then?

:chin:

Even if the person is telling me the truth, why should I carry the burden of imaging what is true about it? Isn't the burden of proof on the teller? I...

That is the whole problem with gods, it is the humans that define them. If there were such a being, would it not define itself. A thing such as? quote...

There is a bit of difference between finding the fountain of youth and faux immortality. And you obviously have not nor will ever find the pot of gold...

Which 2 did you find here? Could one of them be the love of wisdom? But I ain't never seen no gold around here and as far as I knows ain't none around...

Yes and yes. Now be quiet or you will be receiving a visit from one of our brethren. And in the future, if you are brave enough to mention us it is Il...

Not sure where I saw this but it makes one think. " The man thought that he was the luckiest guy in the world when he married his high school sweethea...

In most places around the world I think it is simply a matter of "If you don't break the law, we will leave you in peace". Every time some thinks up o...

Most people have more than enough problems and loads of their own. Even if it was possible to save stupid people from themselves is anyone obliged to ...

Universal rules have to apply to everyone, right. I had a workmate many years ago, he was slightly mentally handicapped. Seriously the only joy in his...

Just one little question. If you had been lucky enough to have kids and one of them brought the local junky/drug dealer to your house, would you have ...

So a person that enjoys the suffering of others can never be happy. Would it not be immoral to deprive that person of their happiness unless they foun...

Personally I am too damned lazy to actively participate in such activities. And does it really make any difference to the outcome? It either does or d...

I hope someone has enough time to read them! I cannot see that this would work, if my pleasure is to see you in pain and suffering.

Save them from what? The rest of the world or themselves? Not that it matters much anyway.

Irony at its best. :rofl:

No. I usually define luck as the collision of time, location and circumstance, but it includes good and bad types. For someone driving south while a d...

Laws in most places are supposedly to keep the peace. But as we can see in England right now, some laws are thought to be abusive. The truth is that l...

Before I answer, could you give us a definition of luck.

At least that way it won't hurt when it runs over you.

If there was peace, would there be need for law?

Can you explain a bit better please.

Wind is not made from anything. It is the name of a movement of the air.

Most of the time we don't really chat around here, we are snobs and have discussions. :wink: There is not even a chat attached to the forum. Most of u...

Don't screw up other peoples' lives.

Never sign up to a philosophy forum on a Friday, it's managements day off so there is no welcome committee around until tomorrow. But hi there anyway.

Sounds like politics.

No it does not. That is why it was stated that a person is NOT JUST the sum of the particles that make up the person, but it is obvious that they are ...

So please enlighten me how it was possible. Person #1 walked into a machine, but never walked out of the other machine. Person #2 is not the same pers...

They will be banning the hobbit books soon as well, because there are only normal and little people in them. That discriminates against giants. The Lo...

Nope. We do not claim that we do not believe in a specific god, we do not believe in any god when the word god is used correctly. Gods are creators of...

Now its ruined, the youngster have arrived. :rage:

Most of the time I listen to 50- 70's stuff, but not very much in the pop charts caught my interest after maybe 75. There are some modern things I lik...
