Since the bible has been revised many times, even in it's entirety, as well as changed according to the norms of the times in which it was changed, it...
It's an internal negation of subjectivity for the individual, but an objective fact filtered through human perception demands more observers than one ...
Sure, that's why we use logical thinking, deduction / induction and proper argumentation in order to reach conclusions that aren't influenced by our e...
Probably. We also don't know how much of the bible that was meant as stories to deliver a message, rather than accounts of something real. With thousa...
Hehehe, yup, science have made metaphysics kinda irrelevant. We can use it for things that's still hard to prove, with proper logical arguments, but I...
For me you can't be objective only through a collective, since the collective can be just as corrupted as the subjective. Even more so, the collective...

Not at all :) I think I just feel the need for two levels of the word objective. I.e Absolute objectivity is not dependent on human perception, it exi...
The first section (the one you quote) was about the previous poster, not you. The later sections adressed NDEs, you clearly skipped that part and inst...
I need time to go through the entire document, but I initially don't know why morality is mixed into the idea of immortality. A baseline morality seem...
It's fine, I have no intentions with continuing a philosophical argument with someone who can't provide a proper argument. As I said, this is a philos...
There's nothing wrong with my definitions. You assume energy in terms of a spiritual definition. Find me any evidence that suggest that consciousness ...

None of this has any foundation in science. The reason we get consciousness is a combination of pre-programmed genetics that form the starting point o...

Unfortunetely no, since I wanted to add my input on the matter when I saw it, so I only read the original post for this. If what I've been writing abo...

Isn't this primarily based on languages that hold vastly different structures from each other and grammar that is different? I mean, I'm from Sweden s...
I don't mind the semantic discussion, because I think it essentially is about semantics. Without a definition baseline for the word, how do we discuss...

True that all could be wrong, that's why I described it as a rising objectivity with more people in that group. For example, if a field of science com...
