Well, I’m not sure what nominalism is. I’m not familiar with that. I believe there are real abstracts. I don’t think that idealism or mental-only impl...

I addressed it by agreeing to moral reasoning. Remember me granting you that eating too much beef is wrong? I thought we agreed on that. I was asking ...

That sounds like idealism. I thought you were against idealism.

There is reason to the universe and there is reason to the human mind. I don’t believe that is a coincidence. I believe that is at least one piece of ...

A complete lack of evidence? How is it that the human mind can discover laws of nature, for example? Is that just a happy coincidence?

I’m not denying the existence of contingent moral truths (Kant’s hypothetical imperatives). I am claiming there are at least some necessary moral trut...

I believe I have addressed your position. I believe I gave an adequate answer that both of us are basing our worldviews on faith.

I believe through faith that the universe was created for the purpose of beings with reason or rationality. Thus, I don’t see how it doesn’t follow th...

I disagree that it is an ontological fact that nothing has intrinsic value. I’m not an atheist anymore.

So, human life has no intrinsic value to you? It’s just a matter of how a particular person happens to feel about humans?

You were the one who claimed that your moral reasons were based on your “feelings”. Why should your personal feelings count more than others’?

I hold the belief that eating too much beef is wrong. This belief is justified in that raising too much cattle is bad for the environment. It is furth...

To say it is laughable is not an argument. I presented a justified true belief (knowledge). Address my premises. I am open to being persuaded.

Based on your standard, some Chinese don’t share your “feelings” about dogs and they are justified in eating them. It is not a non sequitur. It follow...

Chickens were domesticated for food. So were cows, but I would make the argument that eating too much beef is immoral and that belief is justified due...

Furthermore, dogs and cats are companion animals. They are not food. But, based on your reasoning the Chinese are justified in eating dogs.

By your standard of basing the morality of eating cows and chickens on your “feelings”, then there are no objective moral truths and we are all justif...

So, you base morality on your personal feelings? Because that’s what it sounds like.

Furthermore, let’s say you eat an entire Cornish game hen in a day but abstain from meat for the majority of the week. Is that immoral?

I granted you that eating too much beef may be immoral due to climate change, for instance, but where do you draw the line with animals and by what st...

Insects are a special kind of living things. They are animals, too.

What about eating as many insects as one desires? Do insects count? But perhaps you’re right when it comes to beef, for example.

Now I think I know where your going with this. It is my understanding that humans are considered animals by biologists. We are animals at the top of t...

In what world does that example have anything to do with overeating. I think that’s a false analogy.

Suicide may or may not be morally wrong depending on the circumstances. It is not unforgivable, though, in my humble opinion.

God doesn’t have muscles. He’s a Spirit. He can lift any object of any weight through the gravity that He created. This is silliness.

I believe that humans exist and we’re created with the faculty of reason (in God’s image) are necessary truths because it is the purpose of creation t...

And a moral skeptic believes what exactly? Are they agnostic about morality having objective truth, or do they deny that morality is objective?

What do you mean by “morality realism”? Is it just the stance that there are objective moral truths?

Okay, but what are your feelings about this?

I agree to that. Do you think my explanation makes sense?

Okay. I agree with that, but I will answer my own question to get to something else that is interesting to me. I believe we have reason and driving em...

No, you did fine. I didn’t want to argue that but wanted to ask out of curiosity a related question.

I don’t understand your question

So logic is prior to God in your view. I don’t want to argue that, but a similar question is: Is something right because God says so (never mind figur...

I’m sorry you were indoctrinated by your zealot parents at such a young age. I’m sure they meant well according to their beliefs however blatantly mis...

I smashed one iPhone with a hammer and busted another in half because of the spying. I even bought a bug detector. Nothing will stop them or prevent t...

Paranoia, delusions, and hallucinations: My “delusions” are of the paranoid type. The first thing you have to realize about me is that I don’t agree t...

I think it just goes to show that racism is common among police officers, judges, and juries. Nothing else.

I also noticed that you mention Stephen Hawking as a hero, and exclaim quantum mechanics as a great achievement (which he was and it was), but for som...

No problem. I wasn’t implying that you should feel any guilt, as those events had nothing to do with you personally. As such, you can neither claim th...

Other than that, your essay was well-written.

Did Spengler have the same normative slant that you do, or was he merely presenting an explanatory model? I couldn’t help but notice your frequent use...

Haha. No, but in all seriousness, if you wrote what you just did 2,000 years ago, it would either make it into scripture or you would be crucified as ...

If I didn’t know better I’d say you’re a modern day prophet. At least what you said was inspired. You show great understanding, what people pray for t...

I found what you wrote to have great value. Is this original thought of your own?

Okay. I was just putting some undeveloped thoughts out there.

Just substitute “after” for “at”. Then what?

Most mental illnesses are not personality disorders. The mark of psychopathy is a lack of a conscience. Most people I associate with have one. When I ...

There are also what are called “industrial psychopaths”. They are not violent.
