I'm not. Sounds delusional? Don't you have any amount of something within you which tells you that you should be prepared to sacrifice yourself for so...

Why should I take your word for it? I assert my beliefs, others assert theirs. Such is life. If my beliefs are a problem for the mods, so be it.

Would you happen to be related to Marquis de Sade?

The Trinity is not valid.

Well maybe you cannot see how it is possible that babies are born believing in God. However, nevertheless it is true. Babies are born as believers. Ba...

Also, just so you understand- I am against liberalism. I am not talking about The Democratic Party. I mean liberals. I don't believe in liberalism. I ...

Does it? Let me look at it. Ahem. Let's see. Ah. There is no contradiction. Humans are born believing in God. Maybe you assume people are static. Howe...

I don't know. If you have an especially argumentative wife, the pumpkin-spice latte dispute could get ugly. Okay, so you are saying when it comes to t...

Non-objective morality is no morality. It translates to "I can do whatever I want". https://pics.me.me/when-moral-relativists-have-their-beliefs-teste...

Actually, this is very easy. Knowledge of right and wrong are innate. Humans are born knowing right and wrong. Islam is the innate religion- Alhamduli...

Hm. Okay. Islam, Christianity and Judaism.... actually, insha'Allah I'll leave out Judaism... I don't know too much about Judaism..... but we look at ...

Well, according to you philosophy is not about filling a vacuum. I believe otherwise. That's not ALL it is. But I do think it's an aspect. I think tho...

As far as deciding ends- God can certainly dictate ends. The Quran is full of such, so is the Bible if that's what you believe in- even the Bhagavad-G...

"Maybe something about exploring philosophy tends to leave religious commitment less intact?" Maybe having religious commitment less intact leads one ...

Thank you, that is a very interesting perspective. What form would you want a new Enlightenment to take? What form do you think a new Enlightenment is...

No, heterosexuals should not imitate the culture of practicing homosexuals. Men and women are not valued for the same things, that is why differents t...

Democracy was a bad idea in the first place and I think it's a variation of "might makes right".
September 22, 2018 at 20:15
This discussion is sick. What gives you the right to decide who can and can't have children, oh would-be eugenicist?

September 22, 2018 at 20:12
I don't think that you can prove from secular premises that objective morality is necessarily innate. I find the reasoning of the OP.... strange. But ...
September 22, 2018 at 20:06
This is some more material which exposes the false nature of the alleged Trinity. Believers in the Trinity, I urge you to repent and to follow true mo...

I express what I believe, I believe what I believe. You believe differently. If you have an argument you'd like to discuss, let's discuss it. Atheists...

I have a completely different epistemology than others here likely do. I am operating from an entirely different framework. I doubt you are going to a...

It just depends on the answer to this question: "Who is a philosopher?"
September 22, 2018 at 03:19
