It's a metaphor. noun 1. a short, jerky motion: Also bob can refer to a small mechanical part. "a dangling or terminal object, as the weight on a pend...
Oh yeah, old grandfather commie Sanders, who doesn't know two bobs of economics, as American President would have been great! https://www.youtube.com/...
God in His essence is both changing and unchanging at one and the same time - obviously. I don't even know why you mention this, as if I didn't alread...
Soon we're going to get to an infinite regress of an idea of an idea, etc. This doesn't really work because obviously the number 2 isn't the same as t...
Why is that Christianity's failure, and not rather the failure of the unbelievers? I think Christianity does make death and suffering easier to bear f...
I didn't say you must like the idea, because as I said we're not sure if eternal refers to infinite temporal duration. It might refer to that. I said ...
Okay, sure, so what's the point? You don't seem to like the idea of eternal hell. Why not? Can you - a created being - decide what the just punishment...
Sure, hence he decides what is good and what is evil, just like he decides what is just and unjust. Those are too large questions, you need to be more...
It makes sense to question a theology maybe, but not to question God. You can think a theology is wrong, and that's entirely different. So far you hav...
Not to mention that your thoughts are the absolute height of stupidity - you believe you may be damned, and therefore you propose suicide or worse as ...
Your thoughts are all over the place, and it's impossible to discuss like this. Please pick a specific subject/topic and let's discuss it. We don't un...
No I'm not. To say God is beyond reason isn't to say God is IRRATIONAL. Hence it's not meaningless at all. Beyond reason isn't the same as irrational....
Yes, but we do have access to revelation. You need grounds for questioning something, and such grounds are in this case missing. Because that is absur...
You misunderstand. God is incomprehensible, BUT we do know that He is the standard of justice and truth, for there is nothing higher than God. Therefo...
? How do you know? Feyerabend is a scholar (and an atheist by the way). He thought the Church acted rationally. And I think so too. The evidence is ab...
We don't know if he is, but probably he is. He had a direct encounter with Jesus on the road to Damascus, and many things were revealed to him, compar...
The Church back in the day was doing what the scientific community is doing today (because most of the scientists were also priests, because priests w...
What's the problem? I would be punished by the Living God, not by man, and probably if God decides to punish me, then I absolutely deserve it, and wou...
I'm not quite sure Nietzsche is that great either. There's a lot of things he was blind to. For example, you protest about eternal hell and say that i...
Yes, and the deeper problem is that physical laws may actually change with time, but they may change so slowly that we haven't yet managed to perceive...
I don't think SX's discussions are generally very profound (take that as significant), but they are highly scholastic and technical generally, which d...
Banno's secret of course is to discuss the easiest most superficial and meanest subjects which everyone has the depth required to discuss - that's how...
For example, at least Osho, takes on a lot of Nietzsche's ideas, including critique of traditional religion, condemnation of hypocrisy, ideas on moral...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H0O9IK8bxM8 Listen to this. It's exactly what you're saying too ^^ (especially with regards to life-affirmation). Not ...
It would be strange to find a prominent historical figure that Osho doesn't refer to. He speaks, at times quite extensively, about Steiner, though not...
Sure, he would even admit to that probably :P But look at his ideas. You'd agree with them. You'd agree with him that society kills the individual, de...
On this point we can take entities like circles too. Perfect circles don't actually exist in material reality, and yet we have knowledge of them and t...
Number 2 isn't just an idea. An idea is always an idea OF something (an idea of a circle, an idea of a man, an idea of God, etc.). Number 2 is a being...
Probably my first "foray" into philosophy was Osho at 12 (just because my father at that time was very into the Osho movement). You Mr. Beebs will 100...
>:O It's not a little trick at all, but in an age dominated by scientism and the objectification of reality people often have a tendency to admit only...
Mid 20s. No, I'm a civil engineer by degree. I've worked in it briefly, but I'm working in IT/marketing at the moment. So I'm not a professional philo...
Ah well, that explains why you read a "not" there :P Well I find it strange that you expected me to answer "no", when I've been saying all along that ...
Why do I mean no? :s I actually said yes and told you that the spiritual reality signified by Mithras' name - hence the being represented by Mithras -...
Sure, the number 2 also exists, and yet you cannot touch it or see it. (Nor can you "verify" it for that matter). Not all beings exist in the same man...
