I’m not sure what you mean by neurological processes being at the mercy of biology...they are part of your biology. This biology is triggered and effe...
The symbol of the number on the key corresponds to an actual electronic process specific to those particular numbers. You aren’t recognising the conne...
You can question it sure, but you cannot draw a conclusion based on how well suited you are to the environment. It doesnt imply design just because on...
You missed his point completely. The water fits perfectly into the hole not because the hole was designed for it but because the water naturally shape...
Sound and words are not the same thing. You used “sounds” in your argument and then changed it to “words” in your conclusion. Verbal sleight of hand w...
One thing on this topic that I don’t see discussed is people’s right to listen. Why do some people get to decide what Im allowed to listen to? If a bu...
I think thats exactly what value human life has. Everyone picks and chooses what life is valuable, most people don’t care about vast swaths of life, f...
So you do not understand, its not clear to you...yet you are still very certain that you aren't confused or need of enlightenment? Am I wasting my tim...
Necessarily true refers to logical inference. It can be true that I am walking, and it would be necessarily true that I have legs to walk on. Its abou...
MadFool is right, the question contradicts itself. Its the same thing as in the omniscience thread, you aren’t grasping the law of non-contradiction. ...
Fair enough. To me magical thinking is when a person just skips over inconvenient data and reasoning that doesnt support the conclusion they want to r...
That sounds about right. Use of “faith” in religious context is special pleading because that same standard is not applied to most other things in the...
Can you elaborate on why my belief in reality is not skeptical enough? How did you reach that conclusion, and how do you know how skeptical of reality...
Its just a cute little game theists like to play, where they reverse things back onto the atheist. Projecting is the psych term I believe. So problems...
Ive never heard that particular argument before. Not sure any of its necessary, breaking the law of non-contradiction is enough to show the incoherenc...
Certainly not PC, no. I think that if expressing unpopular or non-PC views was enough alone to get you banned then you would have been banned. Even th...
This thread wasnt intended to be about censorship, it was about the deletion of the thread, the weak reasons for that deletion and an overall point ab...
Sure, there is some logic to your argument but there is a specific point of logic (the law of non-contradiction) that you are ignoring. Also, not asse...
Omnipotence, defined as being able to do anything, is a non-sensical term that has no real meaning. It is a paradoxical term, its own definition refut...
That may be the way it emerged, I couldn't say, but thats not how I intend it nor do I think thats the way its generally understood today. Everyone kn...
Lol. I had forgotten about it but you keep reminding us. I dont think there should be such a thing as a topic being too sensitive in a discussion foru...
No offense but I didnt find the masterbation thread compelling at all. Thats my point though, if people engage then it's probably worth keeping around...
Well Im not really making the PC point. Im not even really sure PC is at work in a significant way among the mods. They seem to be concerned about gui...
Like who? And also, That wasnt why the thread was deleted, according to the mod who deleted it. Also, “no YOU cant read”. Just flip what I said about ...
No one is asking you to, in fact the issue is why we aren’t allowed to engage the person. No babysitting involved other than checking for breaches of ...
This thread isnt about homosexuality being a defect, its about why the other thread was deleted. Are you even paying attention or, again, are you simp...
If someone is seriously confused about any of those then a response is warranted, as opposed to someone just being hateful where I would agree a respo...
That would only be appropriate if this thread was homophobic since that was the reason given for the other ones deletion. The topic itself wasnt the i...
Indeed, but mods should delete threads for their content more so than the thread name. I just think its bad for this forum and its discussions to dele...
Obviously I meant learning in the broader sense. We are here to discuss things, discussion is important in learning about your own positions as well a...
No, Im aware. I realise its use by homophobic or anti-gay rhetoric. Its something ignorant people use, and its also something people use when they hat...
Homophobic? Because of the word “defect”? Did you miss the disclaimer portion, where the poster explained explicit non-homophobic behaviour in their d...
Yes, “defect” stood out right away as problematic. Thats the primary mistake made by the poster, a simple enough mistake to point out if the thread ha...
Yes I realise that but pointing it out is pedantic, a waste of my time and a failure to address the main issue. Leave such commentary to the petty. Th...
Social media plays a big role, its a fact that it creates tension. Its designed to. I recommend The Social Dilemma, eye opening. Also, it wasnt a wast...
Yes, I intended to include those things under “a sign of the times”. Social media and fear based news are big parts of it in the general public but I ...
Well i wasnt talking about specific kinds of discourse. Obviously there are going to be better or worse forms by of it. If you are just yelling at the...
Ok, thanks. So in what way would someone figure out that context and provide them with a new context if not through discourse. Amend that, what better...
I dont think you’ve been as clear as you think. Id rather not guess and then have it cause confusion later on, so im trying to get a concise answer. S...
