The problem Aug, is that you're using terms which are ambiguous and in some senses unrelated to my inquiries. There's about 20 different ways to inter...
me: "What does "actualize our potential for communion mean?". you: "Go read Aristotle". me: "Lol". Not all sex comes with the same emotional packaging...
Or, you could have clear ideas and communicate them effectively... There's always that option! What if sex need not involve intimate emotion? What's y...
That's your opinion, but I'd argue that you are absolutely wrong. The desire for the transcendent (including God) is a natural human desire, which exi...
Dude I quoted you directly in the other thread and it's there for anyone to read. Here it is again: Like Trump you have a knack for contradicting your...
They're called feral children. They tend to have no language and behave in a manner congruent with their development. In the case of a child growing u...
Tried and failed to maintain the claim, yes. You ended up trotting it back to some ultra-vague nonsense that dropped the god parameter entirely and se...
Isn't this like when you tried to claim that babies are born with a desire for god? Babies aren't born with any knowledge about decency; they're born ...
As far as I can tell so far, it's to do with the immorality of promiscuity itself, up to and including the way in which it is leading to the destructi...
The man informs you that his robes are at the cleaners. He shrugs and continues walking. "Would you like to play again?" The man informs you that he d...
I don't think public displays of nudity (from anyone) are inherently indecent... I would hazard to say that public sex acts are indecent, but I would ...
Let's say that he wants to stay cool on a hot day, or just that shirtlessness is the most comfortable for him. Is it still immoral for him to walk aro...
Where are you getting your decisions about what's appropriate and what's inappropriate? Why is a shirtless male on the street bad but an ankle sportin...
Aren't you a part of a political movement aimed at vilifying public displays of the female form? You find public displays of the female/pregnant body ...
You've somehow managed to say very much and very little... Did you not watch the third grade Indian child? His experiment may illuminate you. Quantum ...
But so far as we know it DOES apply everywhere in the universe, it's just not suitable for describing individual quantum particles. It clearly still a...
F=MA was never designed to describe the quantum scale though. Your objection to F=MA would be like an architect telling an astronomer that the standar...
F=MA The force required to accelerate an object (by a specific amount) is proportional to it's mass, as described by the above equation. (Newton's sec...
Are you suggesting that we have no reason to believe that the laws of physics are consistent? (There's ton's of strong evidence for this actually, nam...
The sport was so much less competitive and developed when they had that match that the genetic disadvantage wasn't so hard to overcome. (there wasn't ...
What you're missing is the fact that different people have varied, disparate, and sometimes mutually exclusive notions of what constitutes "morality"....
Yes, there are exceptions and in-betweens. Bigger female birds of prey likely helps the mother to defend the nest and to spend the calories on egg pro...
I can tell you his statements were made in earnest. Tennis has very very competitive cultures which surround it, and while this is a part of where the...
In the animal kingdom, different species can have different degrees of what is called "sexual dimorphism"... Sexual dimorphism is the degree to which ...
Is there any truth to John's statements?: Yes. Is there anything wrong with what he said apart from whether or not the statements are true?: No. What ...
Do you feel a servile obligation towards the socks on your feet? Is remarking that life is good not enough? What's the purpose behind making a gesture...
What kind of luck do you have in mind? There's probability: is it statistically anomalous that we exist? (the answer is not from our perspective) And ...
You do realize that my answer takes us right back through the entire universal history of causation to the big bang right? You're asking if I like exi...
I'm an atheist and we're obviously all the same, so I'll answer! We're thankful to our mother for giving us life and consciousness (i.e, not aborting ...
We should not just assume that ALL of them had shamans and rituals just because we've found that SOME of them did. Also, which cave-paintings are dist...
I'm sure you would make your own arguments if you actually cared. And then I might actually respond to them. As it stands though, I'm not at all inter...
That's pretty interesting actually... I wonder what ethnic trends will dominate in the west in the future (I.E: will mullato's eventually be the major...
Which cave paintings indicate that early man had a connection with the transcendent? Seems to me like most cave paintings indicate they had a connecti...
Only 5% of atheists believe no god(s) exist. I'm not one of them, so I agree with you that they're silly. Strictly speaking, "agnosticism" is an epist...
Refuting an argument isn't the same as proving the negative (which requires an entirely separate argument). If you say you can run faster than 100 mil...
That's just like, your opinion, man... In all seriousness, I have no clue why you think "the desire for god" was there "at the very beginning of manki...
From atop my jaggedly evil atheist spire I have precisely 0 skin in the game (or any left unscarred at this point), so it's more of a fun contrary pos...
I'm not suggesting that smart people cannot be theists or even that dumb people tend to be theists; I don't doubt your IQ. What I was more so referrin...
Atheists don't need to reproduce! All babies are atheists ;) And the ability of parents to adequately indoctrinate them seems to be on a down slope. I...
I think that the future of religion on Earth is irreligion. Christianity and Islam will go the way of Judiasm, and like cultural Jews might identify s...
You've got to join the debates if you want to move them along (and can see how to do so). I know what you're saying though. I consume a lot of social ...
As far as the statement "impossible to know" can be trotted out and applied to anything, sure, we have no ultimate certitude. But, say I set out to so...
When reality becomes stranger than fiction... I would-a figured Rodman for an anti-trumpeter, but I guess he considers himself Trump's friend. Curiose...
It depends on the standards of the society... If society expected me to willingly allow part of my genitals to be removed, then rebellion is in order....
