You are claiming impossible things become possible in a metaphysical framework. Some do; the idea of unicorns existing, does exist. The idea of true/f...

1. 2. 3. My statement is maintained by number 2. There is no rational qualification that removes the contradictory nature of claiming true and false a...

I think he's a robot. I don't mean that as an insult.

You are in the actual world claiming there is an instance contradictions are true. game set match
July 10, 2021 at 04:14
Shooting from the hip here; but do you end up proving the negative as a result. There is now a necessary rule about God's lack of necessity that must ...

Can I imagineer a solar system without a sun and then assert one possibly exists based on this reasoning?
July 10, 2021 at 01:36
Alright, I do appreciate you adopting my organization of your argument. Do you notice how your argument changed slightly in order for it to escape cri...

Do you mean there was a point in our history when emotions were essential? Or do you in fact believe this statement is an accurate description of that...

Here at the end is the part necessary for survival. You have framed the discussion in terms of hard needs and then claimed the emotions accompanying s...

Technically they are arguments against people telling you what god is or thinks. You would have to talk to God to argue.
July 09, 2021 at 17:23
Being subject to an appeal to logic is a matter of intelligence. It denotes the ability to see through emotional appeals that are meant to manipulate ...
July 09, 2021 at 17:10
Emotions aren't a survival tool that's why some people emotionally shut down or repress in order to navigate extreme stress. So, the question doesn't ...

Useful and interesting; I consider it an achievement. I'm not certain if silentism is a reference to sociological activism or just the general princip...

Did I miss a double spacing memo? In this case it follows the theist and others experience similar effects, but don't ascribe the same meaning to it. ...

I'm considering god in the same sense.
July 08, 2021 at 23:55
The one time I take a moment to avoid serving an undercooked argument. Davidson's quote indicates the experience of the world is evidence of the world...

Your words.

Technically, I'm validating the theistic experience. Which is the world unmediated if I recall.
July 08, 2021 at 22:38
I'm not sure, I didn't expect to get this far. I'll think it over. Thanks for considering the position.
July 08, 2021 at 22:29
Yes, but possibly misunderstood.
July 08, 2021 at 21:34
I'm not sure where the implications empty into the sea, but so far God would seem to be very existent in my novel context.
July 08, 2021 at 21:31
I didn't for the sake of semantics and I'm assuming as much for the sake of discussion. It's a topic that can derail itself, so chasing every detail a...

Let's start from the bottom up. The last one is a bit of discomfort with the notion that we know God, because of children's stories. It's a matter of ...

The two parts of the mind that allow for indecision mistake the super-ego for a storybook God.
July 08, 2021 at 20:04
It's not coherent at all? There is no way in which we can speak that we can't be misunderstood. Had you considered a generous read? Just for fun? How ...
July 08, 2021 at 20:01
It's coherent and hasn't been rehashed for 2000 yrs. What do you have? In support I would also offer that people seldom disagree with their God.
July 08, 2021 at 19:54
I think these definitions were more of a church public relations matter. Or the necessary starting point for debating with theist. There are a lot of ...

I get banning the racist and the guy selling books on vague creationism. The 3017 ban seems less obvious from outside the radar room. Thanks for all t...

I have to admit, that's actually a better answer than the one I had. I'll check out the website.
July 08, 2021 at 03:34
Oddly compelling.
July 07, 2021 at 23:44
At first glance this would appear to defy entropy.
July 07, 2021 at 23:35
A problem remains if the question/puzzle is subject to context. If the heap amount has any future purpose or supposed representation of value. You can...
July 07, 2021 at 21:44
I think you have the core of the matter highlighted. I may have misunderstood the intent, so I don't think bad faith is really in play. "very nearly e...
July 07, 2021 at 20:08
I think you might have removed some context to create the appearance of inconsistency. In present day measurement 'a standard' is a fixed value. In th...

I want to say Russell specifically demonstrated "it is what it is" as the third law of thought. Which is a bit too ironic. I have never suspected anyo...
July 07, 2021 at 17:17
Isn't this just Russell's rejection of the basis of set theory. No set contains the set of things that do not contain themselves. Something to that tu...

The idea of "mystery" as it's being used isn't really found in philosophy. I remember hearing it every time I asked one too many questions in a religi...

Would you hire a detective that told you God did it whenever the answer wasn't apparent?
July 07, 2021 at 15:54
Using a cubit instead of visual verification highlights the issue in a physical way. The cubit system is based on the measure of one's own arm. As lon...
July 07, 2021 at 14:58
It's a novelty of a self-referential measuring tolerance. We'd all produce a different cubit if measured to the micron. We'd all be right relative to ...

It's philosophy; if wasn't for the dopamine that results from light intellectual narcissism none the universes mysteries would be solved. In theory...

Looking it over it seems like you would have to ascribe a "will" or at least disposition to a collective mind in order to claim Panpsychism is a type ...
July 06, 2021 at 17:19
Regarding Panpsychism It seems a bit too coherent to throw in and measure along side the definitions of a Christian God that are usually the subject o...
July 06, 2021 at 05:44
Where does Panpsychism fall?
July 06, 2021 at 03:10
Well, if that was the case they wouldn't be found working together. Maybe they aren't interchangeable but some type of exchange ought be taking place.
July 05, 2021 at 22:15
I'm not a fan of simulation theory because it has a built in infinite regression. But, suppose you wanted to build it; you would have to have some way...

I don't think it's necessary to invent a new material to explain why people think and trees don't in a complex sense. Remove a person's brain and thei...
