Paraphrased... Being is an immanence that cannot realize itself, an affirmation beyond affirming, an activity that cannot act, because it is glued to ...

or... the one who is of "sweet delight" can never be told or made to believe anything contradictory.
September 25, 2018 at 10:36
How, then, are you able to determine what 'God' wants you to do, if, importantly, you cannot trust the objective truth of the statements within the Bi...

If there were an adequate substantiation of the existence of God, there would absolutely be no contrary argument!
September 25, 2018 at 10:21
This is ridiculous. No matter what linguistic acrobatics you can use... If the statement "God exists" were analytically true, then it would only be tr...

Poetic ideas. Fantasy. Language is a rendering of experience. Belief is prior to language not in a temporal degree but is more proximal and/or primord...

Belief is determined by many things, perhaps language capacity, intelligence, imagination, etc. But what of the belief that something is right or wron...
September 23, 2018 at 21:57
I can easily say that it is intelligence rather than language that is the criterion of these sorts of beliefs.

Yes, it is what you do when you have the desire... Hmmm... I am homosexual. I am in a relationshil with a male. In your eyes you say I am immoral. In ...

In the end you have absolutely no justification for your deity other than the faith that It is whatever It is. I'm thoroughly disinterested in this so...

Agreed

If people do not agree then the conversation is not good enough!
September 22, 2018 at 23:58
that is up to you my friend! What do you think is right!? I think love, happiness, freedom and care is right, and these things are greater than any co...

If happiness is elsewhere, in a world behind the scenes, which is an utter illusion (reference Freud here if dogma need be), then there is absolutely ...

The atheistic position does not need some transpersonal authority, which somehow is anthropomorphic, to settle the affairs of a mammalian brain. There...

Incest is not 'wrong' or 'evil,' petty moralists... It is harmful and should be avoided!
September 22, 2018 at 23:44
Incest in many places is moral BY GOD.

I do not agree that art, poetry and music are a language, for they do not adhere to a set of rules or organized structure. There is abstract art, musi...
September 22, 2018 at 23:12
I don't know that I agree with this. For instance, in Kant's contention that existence is not a predicate.
September 22, 2018 at 01:39
Music and poetry, art and metaphor is not conventional language. There are aspects that are expressed in these things that transcend a linguistic expr...

@"javra"Q nonlinguistic belief can be captured in art, music, poetry and metaphor. @"creativesoul"
September 21, 2018 at 01:57
Good question! Lol

Didnt kierkegaard say that a true belief is a skeptical one?
September 21, 2018 at 01:26
BECAUSE!

Desires are irrational. Perhaps emotions are even a-rational. All people are irrational. There is a part of us that makes us specifically human that i...

What theistic arguments supporting the existence in God are worth mentioning? Because I want to believe in God.
September 19, 2018 at 00:10
God exists if there is faith. Freud said God is an exalted father. Jung disagreed. I cannot believe in a deity. There is no logic I have ever seen tha...

i can define something greater than God. That which created God. And that which created that God. Idea ideae.
September 18, 2018 at 22:53
Define "greater"
September 18, 2018 at 22:52
God would thus be an all encompassing IDEA, not a being but a concept. You cannot predicate its being!
September 18, 2018 at 22:51
The wisest is who knows that he knows nothing.
September 18, 2018 at 22:38
But the implications!

There is no average intelligence. "There is only the individual." Carl Jung

The being of something must be easily ascertainable to be; not merely predicated. There is absolutely no reason why the idea of perfection should mean...

That is not a Christian perspective; that God is Love. That is much more ancient an idea. Anyway... The 'Christian' idea... That is just "platonism fo...

If everything had to be created by God, that creativity would be of a subjectivity; it would remain a mode of intra-subjective being. That subjectivit...
