That's not what the dictionary says though. Plays on words only serve to derail conversation. Redefining a word is only convenient inside your own hea...

Are you talking about ethics--or morality?
August 19, 2020 at 16:15
Hey man, do you know what 'faith' is?
August 19, 2020 at 16:09
It doesn't matter to me what blog post said what. I'm not here to go fetch info from some blog.

There's no such thing as an "Atheist Scientist". If someone is attempting science yet involving gods or no gods in their work, then they're not doing ...

There's no argument for or against God, that's why Christianity has thrived for two thousand years. It's like I'm rubber and you're glue, except every...

In response to the original post, the afterlife is something someone made up because yay religion. Now we can pretend the meaning of life isn't the re...

Much of our mass is comprised of microorganisms that are always dying. It's a bit crazy that we have memory at all considering how much death happens ...

Troll.

Like gods, arguments for gods don't exist.
August 14, 2020 at 18:02
There are many things which allow us to differentiate between reality and imagination which is, interestingly enough, how they each ended up with a la...

You're one of these people who start a fake topic and then ramble about the same thing as their last 100 conversations.
August 12, 2020 at 02:36
The way you're arguing and the things you're claiming, you seem like someone who'd think a weak case is ironclad. Your argument isn't against Christia...

Whether I have a personal problem with anything is irrelevant to a discussion about God being 'Satanic' or 'Satanism' being "inherent within Christian...

You're grasping at straws. Eastern religions are not about non-violence, and violence has been the way of humanity for all of recorded history. Again,...

Isn't anthropology "the humanities"?
August 11, 2020 at 19:54
If it's false, then demonstrate that Catholics are 'Christ-like', or any one Catholic, or any Christian for that matter, or any person. I'm still talk...

Hey man, if you think you've got all my responses figured out, just carry on both ends of a conversation in your head. This is a public forum though.
August 11, 2020 at 18:50
This is exactly what I've been talking about. How do you know what a Christian thinks? There's a book full of words, and then--because Christianity is...
August 11, 2020 at 18:47
I think you guys are both conflating these Christian concepts of God and the Devil. The terms 'God' and 'Satan' apply to specific things within the re...
August 11, 2020 at 17:26
Those practices--and let's be real here, Christians aren't eating a person--are based upon pagan religions much older than Judaism, in which the sun w...

'Mind' is a label for something the existence of which is speculative. How we perceive thoughts is not necessarily how they occur, and we can only ima...

Those are indications of words on a page in a book. Belief is irrelevant to the topic, I don't understand what you think belief has to do with it.
August 11, 2020 at 14:20
This simply is not true. The Bible says God visited Mount Sinai and helped Moses write the commandment tablets. Moses asked if he could see God's face...

'Afterlife' doesn't give life meaning. If anything, death gives life meaning, but meaning is imaginary.

I'm a "cis white male" and wouldn't place myself in a category such as "powers that be". In fact, a majority of visible minorities are doing far bette...

What is a mind? Your post certainly has no mass. Perhaps you could include some reasoning as to what a mind is and why it should have mass?
August 11, 2020 at 08:44
I'm not an atheist as any result of 'arguments'. I think though that you have to define which 'atheists' you're referring to: those who go "blah blah ...

What is this thread, exactly? It looks on the surface like some people crying because Trump is president, some other people demonstrating the foolishn...

Science is not a study of the world as “separate from ourselves”. Science is as objective a method as we have ever had available to us. Anyone who att...

It works for a little while before it gets worn to mush and all kinds of nails stuck in it and its usefulness deteriorates exponentially.

Philosophy is like using a baseball bat as a hammer.
August 17, 2019 at 21:36
The world is saturated with people who "complain too much" while complaining to others they "complain too much".
August 17, 2019 at 21:00
No one experiences my thoughts.

Seriously man, if you see a car slam its brakes on the freeway do you just drive into the back of it?
August 17, 2019 at 20:12
Calm down.
August 17, 2019 at 20:09
But they pick up more than the slogan, they base their lifestyle on it. It consumes them. This is what is accomplished when a society revolves around ...
August 17, 2019 at 20:01
Every figure of speech is just blah blah. 80% of people have little to no idea what they're saying or doing or why.
August 17, 2019 at 19:59
I guess what I'm thinking is that whoever says that, if you challenge the notion to their face, they back pedal or go blah blah, and they really seem ...
August 17, 2019 at 19:58
By saying Ontological Eliminative Materialism you're admitting that the notion of being philosophical is a vice for you. No one talks like that in rea...

Go easy on me, translation: shred me to bits.
August 17, 2019 at 19:50
Because you don't deserve to see it.
August 17, 2019 at 19:47
I'm not sure who says "do something about it" other than idiots and sociopaths. Are you saying that you perceive idiots and psychos as social norms in...
August 17, 2019 at 19:46
It depends what you mean by one thing. If you take it to the bottom or to the top all things inevitably end up being one thing.
August 17, 2019 at 19:43
Philosophy isn't problematic. The habits of ignorant or malicious people are the problem.
June 14, 2019 at 18:04
Adults who possess authority and stupidity and lack maturity and are exploiting students to create a generation of idiots.
June 03, 2019 at 20:29
There's nothing interesting about it. I'm not angry about comments from students, I'm angry about comments from the adults indoctrinating them.
