In: The poor and Capitalism?  — view comment
I'm sorry, but it seems to me that this debate is officially no longer productive. All we'd be doing from now is re-asserting points we've already mad...

1: It's arbitrary because market value has nothing to do with the health of society. If it did, it ought to just be banned. 2: I do NOT condone every ...

1: No, not necessarily 2: I think that's mostly semantics, but yes. And the motivation behind arbitrarily increasing the cost is irrelevant. My point ...

In: Why aren't there many female thinkers today?  — view comment
It seems to me that the data is pretty clear. As freedom goes up, female participation in the sciences goes down. I think that most women don't do a l...

In: Is truth actually truth? Absolute truth is impossible.  — view comment
I agree. It's pretty much all speculation and I certainly wouldn't say that any of this shows whether God more plausibly exists or doesn't. I see this...

Time is relative to matter which is relative to space. God exists outside of space, as He must preexist that which He creates (which is a limitation o...

I understand what you're saying, but in the case of God, He must be maximally great, else not be worthy of the title. He can, in no way, be limited in...

In: Is it true that ''Religion Poisons Everything''?  — view comment
I think that you're touching on a lot of great points, but it seems to me that the conclusion is off. You made a comment about how even non-religious ...
