Draw me a 3 sided square.

Matthew 5:38-48 New International Version (NIV) Eye for Eye 38 “You have heard that it was said, ‘Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth.’ 39 But I tell you...

Yeah, and those atheistic cavemen were having an anti-religious war with the mammoths. What's next, Sparky?
September 17, 2019 at 16:58
You've got nothing to show, and your statement is invalidated. No backtalk. Blah, blah, blah. They weren't Christian since Christianity doesn't solici...
September 17, 2019 at 16:47
Point out the examples that are wrong. Read the fine print, kiddo. It has more to do with politics. You're mouthing off gibberish before the statement...
September 17, 2019 at 16:36
Maybe it's because Christian morality is just right? There's plenty of people who uphold Christian morals without calling themselves Christians or tak...
September 17, 2019 at 16:17
While you're likely right, I don't think religion holds the weight that you think it does, regarding the matter. As these beliefs are based on morals ...

Three Magnemite = Magneton.
September 17, 2019 at 11:57
Fair enough. Purpose of the question was about dealing with amorphous solids, as metaphysics is amorphous physics. Understanding metal then would be o...
September 17, 2019 at 11:25
It appears you've misinterpreted my query.
September 17, 2019 at 10:46
How so? Metal like oil isn't distinctly solid, but amorphous.
September 17, 2019 at 10:20
Your world is your reflection.
September 17, 2019 at 10:12
Why not in between solid and liquid?
September 17, 2019 at 09:51
Where would you put metal on that scale?
September 17, 2019 at 09:43
Ye've found th' pattern, have ye?
September 17, 2019 at 09:16
Fair enough, though I do think you stand out by the theme of your threads. Likewise, I find that the objective reality thread died too soon in compari...

Leo as in lion. But you're not around producing animosity or prideful roaring. So it's ironic.
September 17, 2019 at 08:53
That's not true for the pointed out reason. You don't know if they don't know for sure.
September 17, 2019 at 08:49
To live good, you need to treat yourself good. To treat yourself good, treat the world good. Because the world is your home. Kill and you'll live amon...
September 17, 2019 at 08:45
That's quite ironic, considering you're called 'leo' and rarely seen. Truth really is stranger, eh?
September 17, 2019 at 08:34
Enjoy and do whatever good you can. Complaining only adds to the turmoil. To echo a certain quote: "Get some self-respect you miserable sack of shit! ...
September 17, 2019 at 08:31
Good work on figuring out quotes. I forgot who's aphorism this is, but essentially: Take full swigs when the bottle is full. Sip moderately when it is...
September 17, 2019 at 08:15
Well put. I think that if a patient is brain dead, they aren't necessarily dead - but if a brain transplant or some other form of brain vivification i...
September 17, 2019 at 07:42
No. There's plenty of ecological protests to no avail. As you pointed out, it's inevitable. It's a way, just not forward. It's a temporary solution li...
September 17, 2019 at 07:20
Okay, if you don't have problem with the criticism of religion, what are we handling and how?
September 16, 2019 at 18:35
Point of fact, the crusades and inquisition were akin to viking raids. Kill and pillage. They weren't religious. They weren't christian. They were pol...
September 16, 2019 at 18:22
Maybe. You have to ask: Qui bono? The demented patient could've peacefully lived out the rest of her life in a ward. It might not have gotten anywhere...
September 16, 2019 at 17:56
I personally don't have enough context to make a judgement that wouldn't be rash. You either trust the parents' ability to evaluate her personality ch...

Euthanasia is homicide either way. But more importantly, what if prior to the supposed dementia she said "No matter what I say, euthanise me"?
September 16, 2019 at 17:14
While I get the context - anti-religious is kind of an oxymoron. As religion is just a binding system of beliefs; meaning physics and chemistry and mu...
September 16, 2019 at 16:32
Figure it out, buckaroo.
September 16, 2019 at 15:49
I already gave you a technological description, via a computer. No spirit - can't do anything. No mind - don't know anything. No soul - no one to know...
September 16, 2019 at 08:22
There's constructive criticism and then there's whining. And whining turns discussions in to gang wars.
September 16, 2019 at 08:07
And there it is - the problem is funding, in other words money. On a side note: I'm self-sufficient, currently working ten different things at once - ...
September 15, 2019 at 15:46
You're right about that. But don't you think that's a basis for polemics?
September 15, 2019 at 15:28
Obviously he meant atheists prefer to spout polemics rather than explore the subject. And like a fish on a hook, you became the example.
September 15, 2019 at 14:06
That's possible right now, and not to much benefit. Anyone can work as a musician or writer, and even if they're good they can't guarantee profit. If ...
September 15, 2019 at 13:59
There's two ways to guarantee that. 1. People are evaluated and a job is selected for them - this is old enforced socialism 2. People willingly work w...
September 15, 2019 at 12:38
We have a word here that roughly translates to 'freedomness'. To illustrate, freedomness to freedom is like poisonous mushrooms to edible ones. A look...
September 15, 2019 at 11:19
Isn't it segregating in a sense? In an 'every man for himself' sense - where there's quorum rather than consensus. But maybe that's the semblance of t...
September 15, 2019 at 11:02
They are not. A musical piece is soul. Its tones are mind. Its playing is spirit.
September 15, 2019 at 10:27
Now think of that timelapse as a GIF and you'll see it's layered and not spatially the same. If two objects occupy the same space, they meld - and bec...
September 15, 2019 at 05:45
I can't convince you, if you can't convince yourself. Maybe you've heard this one:
September 15, 2019 at 05:45
Present a scenario that shows they can.
September 14, 2019 at 20:20
Four strokes as in four ones. But four ones is not one four, due to the obvious notion that it's a single stroke. I think the point trying to be made ...
September 14, 2019 at 12:58
Let me guess, it's my destiny. But then destiny is self-caused, regardless if it has or doesn't have its own destiny. Case closed.
September 14, 2019 at 09:54
You don't need to reject it. Just accept self-caused causes.
September 14, 2019 at 09:12
One object but two digits. You can erase one digit and be left with an object here, but not with 4. Clearly there's a subtle difference, just as betwe...
September 14, 2019 at 09:09
The current consistency of the human body is one part physical and three parts postphysical. If you look at it currently, the soul is not the totality...

Do you know Latin? If you don't I'd suggest Deutsch.
