Here we get a bit apprehensive. Frege believed in rigid, permanent definitions, Wittgenstein believed in cluster concepts, that use is meaning. Which ...

Is that a universal truth? or is it only a substrata taken off subjective reflection? and whether that's so or not, is Atheism a religion? if not only...

Analyzing your comments, it concludes that our experiences revolve around our moral objectivity. I think otherwise, because if it were to be by experi...

You compared that to a god, is the defective. You are correct, whether the entirety of the universe or just that limited interstice you mentioned does...
April 12, 2019 at 09:39
That's a different counterargument for the same conclusion. You and I can agree that the universe is ever-expanding, or infinite. The universe's infin...

That's where it gets terminologically semantic. Anger is an emotion described and viewed upon by us, it's a word recognized by a linguistic community:...
April 11, 2019 at 06:28
I agree with your conclusion, but not with how you crafted it. The semantics behind what you are saying, I would say is erroneous. For you are compari...
April 11, 2019 at 05:50
This is where you argue inductively. The ever-expanding and constant growth of the universe can give us somewhat a logical reason to assert, that ther...

Evangelism is the advertisement of religion. Humans encounter 4,000 to 10,000 ads a day, whether it be cars, or buildings. The advertisement benefits ...

Just to help, if you want to quote someone, just highlight their text from their original comment and it should provide you an option to 'quote'. Hope...
April 09, 2019 at 04:07
Well... Firstly, nobody ever disagreed, from I know, regarding your conclusion in the OP. However, the analogies and subsequent premises you proposed ...

:lol: and I expected this forum to be absolutely toxic-free.
April 08, 2019 at 22:16
Yes you're not; but you are saying that you can't prove the non-existence or existence of something. Of course you can that's silly.
April 08, 2019 at 22:10
@"Devans99" I have been there with his argument on the creation of the universe. I personally think it's flawed by an epistemological and metaphysical...

So only because I talk of 'isms' is it then a problem? You are accusing though, you have concluded that these utilization of 'isms' is a problem and m...

To begin, the reason why us human beings know pleasure, is because we experience pain. Now, the reason why pain resurfaces intermittently, and likewis...

Now, after we have established the problem. I would like to address something that was left unanswered. A middle section of two extremely opposite asp...

Theism and Atheism, if you're a coherent person, don't really exist either. It just defines where you're inclining to, even though you assure to your ...
April 08, 2019 at 08:10
Supernatural beings are just things beyond matter and definitive construct of the world in itself. So you're correct. ___________ Can you cite an exam...
April 08, 2019 at 03:25
Really? I think that's a fine decision.
April 07, 2019 at 09:13
Yes. I am a theist, that is really proactive regarding my faith, acknowledges that my suppositions can be mistaken. But for debate, that can flaw your...
April 07, 2019 at 08:59
To begin, I don't see any direct correlation. Materialism would be the presupposition that only matter exists and nothing beyond that can possibly exi...

Pride can be arrogant, thus Pride can be cowardly, thus But if pride were to be balanced, it is the actual form of humility. Humility as objective mor...
April 07, 2019 at 06:45
Pride is not arrogance. I agree with you there, knowledge does involve pride. Take it from Aristotle's mean measurement of extremes; too much pride, i...

If you're going to take it from a theistic point of view, the universe does have a beginning. Christian philosopher Thomas Aquinas, who was also a dev...

This hypothetical thought experiment might basically, be the reason why British empiricism and mindful rationalism were brought to distinction. Person...
April 05, 2019 at 10:45
Spinoza, who was a rationalist, proposed this belief called substance monism. When you thoroughly think of it, we never really had free will — because...

Personally, I would see it with the reason of motivation, where people are indirectly obliged to help — it is made more of a duty, rather than a moral...

So philosophers, whom are still religious, are compacted to the finitude and are not capable to know the truth?
April 04, 2019 at 03:02
I guess I would. As a full-on, practicing theist, I will constantly argue that the intrinsic essential and accidental characteristics of God, which I ...
April 03, 2019 at 10:48
Okay. Suppose again, the beginning was absolute nothingness - not even nonexistence, not even nothingness. I just used the word nothingness, only to s...

God is also omni-temporal and omnipresent. Concepts of cause and effect and infinity are of different interpretation to him. If logic was discovered, ...

See it as the origins of the universe, no, time - no not even that, existence. Existence, if we suppose a god exists, was created by this god. From th...
April 02, 2019 at 21:38
It is also probable that God, whom theoretically, designed the universe intellectually in a way that it is infinite. Supposedly, with God's omni-godly...
April 02, 2019 at 10:44
To begin, I guess we can agree that a god, is necessary and completely superior to beings that are contingent. The earthly possessions consist of cont...

So, Mathematics is an intrinsic theory, therefore already essential to the world, not its descriptions? Because if you argue that mathematics was not ...

I meant no offense. Just because I stated white supremacy does not mean I think they were the only one to blame. But yes, I accept my mistake, poor ch...

Do you guys think nationalism would have some sort of correlation to white supremacy? I think they are somewhat synonymous. Unobtrusively, it seems th...
