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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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 ...
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 ...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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 ...
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...
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 ...
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...
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...
