Belief versus reality, no contest, no middle ground. One side or the other. But as someone recently pointed out, there are quite a few aggressive athe...

Another thought, accepting that god exists would also accept that devils and angels also exist. As the saying goes, you can't have one without the oth...

Where? I have only seen a few and they are already tame. You can talk to most of them without being bitten. Who would you discuss religion with if the...
February 16, 2019 at 02:16
Nope, they are imagining doing it to an imaginary being. Not the same now that Timmy has granted him/her/it a part of reality/existence. Remember Star...

Go figure.

Wish away my good man, I will still be here tomorrow and you will still not be a solipsist. You are too smart for that. But you good down grade the ne...
February 13, 2019 at 02:19
Not going to work, I am here, you are talking to me, I am talking to you, therefore someone other than you must exist. Don't even try to say that I am...

WTF. If you are a god, you don't need the earth. Just make a new one to your liking.
February 13, 2019 at 01:52
Try becoming a god, should be a lot of fun and your efforts would give us something to talk about here. :wink:
February 13, 2019 at 01:47
Ditto.
February 13, 2019 at 01:15
Actually the only thing I can think of right now is that if it were verified that god did exist, there would be lots and lots of people either sucking...

It seems so nowadays. Smile for the camera(s). His future now seems promising compared to the path being taken.
February 06, 2019 at 00:52
Where did I say or imply that I know the truth? The truth about what? What is the relation between truth and beliefs? Are you saying that a person can...
February 06, 2019 at 00:33
A wise man once said "If the truth hurts, then you must change the truth." Lots of people are not fond of the truth. Maybe I said something he did not...
February 05, 2019 at 02:12
Yeah, I guessed that. Not too many of them come around here. I hope. The reason for the question is to see why Michael thought it was necessary to rus...
February 05, 2019 at 02:06
I don't have any beliefs, that is what atheism is all about, not have them. But I did not mock him, I told him what he wanted to hear. And he was happ...
February 05, 2019 at 01:49
I have never attacked anyone for their religion. If you think that way you must have some proof of what you are saying, lets see the post where I insu...

Things worth while. Nothing worth while. Nothing worth while. Nothing worth while. Nothing worth while. Nothing worth while. Nothing worth while. Noth...

All of these years believing that Banno was right, now I am not sure about goats. https://www.thepoke.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/1/nggallery/terri...

You are blessed brother for admitting your sins, all is forgiven. Go in peace. We are nearly all in the same boat, so don't sweat it too much.
February 02, 2019 at 02:11
So turn you house into apartments and you will be able to live individually while at home. If you ever leave the apartment can be rented out to bring ...
February 02, 2019 at 02:05
Maybe I could help with proofreading here. I am a professor in shm-logy. The correct name of the subject. If you would like to learn more about it, I ...
February 02, 2019 at 01:54
Is that what they say when they are going to the pub where you live?
February 02, 2019 at 01:36
Tell your mom to sell the house and find a place for both of you to live where no one knows you or your problems. Your environment is a constant in ev...

I don't really have a theory of happiness, just some personal thoughts about it. They say that you cannot buy happiness, but your wife is probably unh...

The outhouse?
February 01, 2019 at 02:00
Oh dear. You do not understand sarcasm at all do you. And irony also seems to be missing for your understanding abilities. First of all it is customar...
February 01, 2019 at 01:59
While Baden's definition is sort of fitting for some discussion, it is rather first person. It is about how one becomes happy, not how one makes other...
January 31, 2019 at 00:41
Could you please give us a workable definition of "shmancy", I cannot find it anywhere. And I know that you really like to provide people with the def...
January 31, 2019 at 00:35
That is closer to my original idea about what makes people happy than trying to find better ways to explain what exactly happiness is. We know already...
January 30, 2019 at 01:44
I would not like to get called out (again) for assuming something I cannot prove, so I figured that if you don't fit into one or more of those three I...
January 30, 2019 at 01:38
Did you read the thread? That was a lot of fun. :cool:
January 29, 2019 at 02:50
He/she/it does not like any of my questions. And he never answers them either. Not that I give a rat's ass about it anyway.
January 29, 2019 at 02:48
In some languages you do say there is rain. ''lightning flashes'' could be a clause or phrase or even a subject but never a statement. This would depe...
January 29, 2019 at 02:45
I know you don't need to do it, but you could at least put it into plain, ordinary, simple words so that the rest of us might have an idea what you th...
January 29, 2019 at 02:36
Just goes to show that men do want to be equal to women. That's why they wear dresses.
January 29, 2019 at 01:57
That is one point of view, but I am not mixing them up. It is more of a cause and effect thing. Isn't pleasure a source of happiness? Pleasure; A fund...
January 29, 2019 at 01:46
Another possible question for discussion. Is it ethical for people to produce mind numbing TV programs to entertain the masses just so that they can e...
January 28, 2019 at 00:11
Let me think about it, I might create it. The only problem is that I probably wont be around for the next week or so because of work. If someone else ...
January 28, 2019 at 00:06
If being sadistic or masochistic makes them happy but revolts others, how can there be a proper definition of happiness? Is there even such a thing as...
January 27, 2019 at 23:52
Let's take another example of happiness. How many people do you know that can sit for hours watching soap operas on the TV are are happy doing so. Is ...
January 27, 2019 at 23:31
Definitions explain what things are, not why they are.
January 27, 2019 at 23:27
I am not, I am obsessed with happiness and I would like to understand why or how being hurt can make people happy.
January 27, 2019 at 23:11
When you are happy being spanked and your partner is happy spanking you it is not the same as one hurting another.
January 27, 2019 at 23:09
OK, now how does being spanked fit into that? I actually know someone that loved his wife because every payday she beat the shit out of him and took a...
January 27, 2019 at 23:08
Heads I answer mean, tails I answer politely. Tails, tut tut. You should learn not to put your hands in place they are not wanted.
January 27, 2019 at 22:56
Actually this does not make me unhappy. I enjoy when people critique my way of thinking in a constructive or even passive way. It is a good way to tes...
January 27, 2019 at 22:53
More than 5 hours gone by. The fish are not biting, maybe he is learning. Or did he miss it again? I am going to bed, night all.
