No, there's a few OT books that I haven't fully read.

>:O >:O >:O Says Sappy without ever having read the work...

I would think that D differentiated between truth, and Truth. So yes, D would reject the truth of this world for the Truth of Christ. The will-to-powe...

You mean the Fragments that remain of that? Why did you pick it? It seems to be quite popular, you're not the only one :P Personally, I've found very ...

Calling it human does not change its wretchedness. How could you choose to not believe if God fully revealed Himself? If you cannot choose to not beli...

I asked you some specific questions, but in this post of yours you've gone on an entirely different path which has little to do with what I was asking...

I've read some quotes from her, may even have taken a look at Gravity and Grace (I remember someone recommended it awhile ago), but didn't go in more ...

In my opinion this was N's best work :P

You are. Any day you could become a bed-ridden person. ALS, a stroke, a car accident - who knows man, who knows. You can't control it. If He proved th...

Was his "will to health" helpful in achieving health? In other words how is "willing" something helpful at all? Maybe I "will" to have 10 billion doll...

Would this substance be physical or? And how are the reactions of our brain correlated with that mind/self? In other words, how is that mind/self atta...

Right, but what does this have to do with your weakness? You're weak, you don't want to be weak, therefore your only real hope is God - no other hope ...

Strangely enough actually, the very first book of the Bible that I read was the Apocalypse (Revelation), when I was 8ish. I found an old Bible at my g...

1. Read. 2. Read. 3. Haven't read. 4. Haven't finished. 5. Haven't read. 6. Read. 7. Read. 8. Read (not everything though). 9. Read. 10. Haven't read....

But you told me before that that's what he NEEDS God for. But if he doesn't need to blame anyone, then he doesn't need God, so it seems that you're no...

I've read these two. I've never finished The Gay Science. Perhaps you can enlighten me then, what a splendid opportunity for both of us! You can teach...

The other question you have to consider is, that if this is so, and the self disappears in dreamless sleep, then it would follow that one commits no w...

It's in there, please read it more carefully. It's in Pascal's quote, a citation from Isaiah :) You're mixing up a whole different set of issues here....

Why does he need to blame someone in the first place, unless he presupposes that he deserves to have strength & control to begin with? :s

So then how does the same self return when you awaken, and where does it go while you're asleep?

So when you sleep your self disappears? :s

No, quite the contrary, monogamy is the only stable arrangement which is capable of fulfilling human nature. *Draws the sword out...* Progressives... ...

He's actually saving the US economy that way (well at least Twitter, if it wasn't for Trump they'd probably be bankrupt already >:O >:O ).

Except that he's actually right! Nobody has said this, and it should have been said long long ago, speaking here about fake news. Trump is starting to...

In my opinion, concepts are concepts and the things they signify are the things they signify. For example, a circle can be taken purely as a concept. ...

How come? As far as I see, the only reason why existence being a predicate or not was ever philosophically interesting was because people were interes...

I hope you don't get upset at me, but why should we care about answering this question? What is the ramification of it that makes it an interesting pr...

How did he "get me" good? :-} On the contrary, he demonstrated only his black and white thinking. In the end we make our own decisions/choices, but th...

I deny that our real self is born, not that what we most commonly attribute in common language as the self was born. That self was indeed born.

Indeed, and they are also anicca - impermanent. I haven't even mentioned this, I was talking about your assertion that the Five Skandhas don't reincar...

Are you sure? To my knowledge the skandhas are supposed to account for a person's material and mental existence. For example "rupa" which is the body'...

I wouldn't say this is quite true, because the teens in question are not innocent, they are also responsible. In fact they are directly responsible - ...

Actually, I'm pretty sure you yourself have at least at one point in your life spread the kind of irresponsible ideology that can culminate in such be...

Yes, your atoms, thoughts, desires, etc. re-incarnate - they "survive" your death. But not you (you are beyond the need to "survive"). Yes, in a commo...

What does it say - "no one is good, except God alone" and "there is no one righteous, not even one". Blaise Pascal:

It's a similar situation to the media crying about Trump's statements regarding women in his "locker room" talk. Funnily enough, the media taught Trum...

Yeah, sounds like the cruelty that is typical of us human beings. The point really is that anyone is capable of such cruelty - I can see myself as a t...

Well if you could point to it, it would no longer be the self, but rather an object or property in the world, wouldn't you think so? In Kantian terms,...

That is interesting, but not sure that I agree, for Nirvana is the cessation of reincarnation and rebirth. The Bodhisattvas that the DL is talking abo...

Oh dear... :s

But what if we are not our consciousness to begin with? That is really my entire point, that consciousness too is impermanent, and thus, as Buddhists ...

Your Unenlightened Majesty, I've read your posts through this thread, and while I find your position interesting, I think it's suffering of at least o...

Cool - I also sometimes sell mine, but I should sell a lot more than I do. It's just that I'm often worried I might want to come back to one in the fu...

The cool thing will be if she doesn't release the PMs because she deleted them >:O >:O

It's not that I'm afraid since I've only used probably two IPs to access this website for the past year, so it would be impossible for me to be connec...

How about we do this? If I am DP Brah I agree to be banned, but if I'm not DP Brah (and I can prove it), then you have to be banned. Are you willing t...

Nice try. I will not respond to any of your enquiries until you release those exchanges that you referenced with DP Brah publicly so that we can know ...

Also, if you're going to suggest DP Brah PM'ed you with the same stuff I say, I will request that you show us those PMs. It's completely unfair to thr...

Right, so God is an empty abstraction for you... You don't believe in God, you believe in an abstraction. Also like for poor Kant, your God is a slave...

Oh how funny. You're not the first to suggest that I'm someone else, but no, unfortunately for you, this is my only account. Does that sound like me? ...
