Sorry, but have you actually read Job? I know many people on the internet say that, but have you read the actual text? The impression I get from this ...

Can the Orthodox Church claim that the treatment of a certain Saint's works, in this case Dionysius, by the Catholic Church is incorrect? I know, I am...

Except, if there is no afterlife, you'd find out nothing :P

No it was not a sacrifice if you bother to read my definition. I can't believe that you're insisting on equivocating on the word. Yes it seems that th...

Christianity is not a myth, as I've explained to you in the other thread.

No, my objection is to the meaning of sacrifice I described in my first post on this subject: This meaning is not the Christian meaning of it. Right, ...

Yes, and you are a person who runs away when they are forced to face the truth.

Running away much? :s And you claim I run away from responsibility - ain't that interesting now?

You cannot create a valid conditional around a necessarily impossible hypothesis. A little puny ass human crying about stuff. What did God answer Job?...

How can you have a choice in creation before you exist in the first place? :s

Only Christianity has the person of Jesus Christ, that's why Christianity is a "scandal" to the world. May I ask you: What's disgusting in those writi...

Again, this only illustrates that you don't know about it. The West has by no means more apophatic literature than the East - remember that Saints lik...

This is false. Buddhists for example don't believe in God, and yet they'd disagree that evolution alone is responsible for what love is, if you take e...

Ok so what does the fact that I call a tramp a tramp have to do with the fact that I think some of your behaviour is not kind, nice or virtuous? :s Ho...

I don't find this site to be trustworthy. A lot of the Anglo material isn't very good with regards to Orthodoxy, which explains a lot of the misunders...

Why? Why is Jesus' death and Resurrection a sacrifice? It is true that Jesus died for our sins (that's why he was killed), but that doesn't mean that ...

Why do you think it's naturalistic? Quite the contrary, the coming of Christ is a divine revelation, not naturalistic at all...

By who? The Orthodox don't typically view it as a sacrifice.

No, that's actually not true at all. If I ask a fellow Christian, he will tell me his whole faith revolves around the death and resurrection of Jesus,...

I think you're not quite aware of this Wayfarer, but sacrifice involves the sanctification of something that is profane. Sacrificium in Latin literari...

But the death of Jesus Christ on the Cross was not a sacrifice. This is precisely the point of the Gospels. Unlike all other myths, Jesus Christ was i...

Indeed, he does, but I'm quite sure you don't understand what these terms actually mean, so you say commit it to the flames more because you don't und...

How am I objectifying others through that statement? To objectify them would imply that I treat them as objects rather than persons, correct? That I t...

I didn't speak about God at all. So why are you bringing God in? I've asked you to prove merely that love is JUST a chemical cocktail and nothing more...

Yes, but Plato doesn't negate that aspect of morality. But that's a low-level incomplete understanding of morality, that is the problem with it.

Yes, I believe that's what I wrote. What about it? Edit: Well seems you've edited your post. Again, I haven't insulted you. Why do you feel insulted? ...

Can you please stop discussing and spewing falsity about me? There's nothing selfish about anything that I've said for that matter. Nor did I encourag...

I did not personally attack you - go back and read it again. It seems to me that you have no clue what you're talking about and you get very easily of...

It would be good if your posts contained a bit more meat to them, at the moment it's full of empty verbiage, misunderstandings, strawmen and red herri...

I thought quite the opposite! That's certainly a lot more in-depth and more complete than Hume's!

Sure. Okay, my point isn't that Schopenhauer is a bad philosopher or he can't be helpful to you, etc. I would categorise him along with Wittgenstein a...

Saying both are inherently harmful isn't comparing them. In terms of JUST sexuality yes. But this is not a problem. Since having sex with them doesn't...

Does my sentence which you quoted say the opposite somehow? I don't see it. And?! Did I say you did? Yes - that and the examples you gave are the prob...

I did try it, it went very well. Not exactly with your fantasy (I never had that one), but rather with porn viewing. I told my girlfriend when I was 1...

Yes it does, I'm trying to educate you not to do that to your loved one, because it would be very very bad for both of you if you did that. It's bette...

No that's absolutely not coming at him with a pitchfork, you don't even know what you're talking about. A pitchfork implies violence (or certainly the...

Keep quiet with your bullshit. Where have I come with the pitchfork? Did I say that sexual promiscuity, etc. should be illegal or what? Identifying an...

You haven't proven this. I have given reasons for supporting my views, a whole truckload of them if you bother to read through my conversation with Va...

No the analogy absolutely can't be drawn that way. The analogy compares the logic of the situation, NOT the gravity of the offences. Only someone like...

Did I tell you to assume that? No. Tell me, what is the meaning of this Buddhist story? :s Here is a guy who has ruined himself, and has deprived hims...

Haha yeah unfortunately I can't see that funny guy :P

Mr. Porat was a very good businessman >:O . I can't actually believe someone paid 20K for PF, how stupid can one be... Man 20K is quite a bit ... real...

Now please watch: Vagabond will post here another massive post that will be full of red herrings and strawmans ;)

No sorry, I don't know that fear, what must I do now? :P

:s This is not what I'm saying. I agree with Aristotle's view that all things have 4 causes that are required to fully explain them: material cause, f...

:-O I must not have paid close attention to it haha. That's what happens when you multitask. :P Yeah, I think so too, seems likely.

And who gave you permission to go off-script? >:)

No, I based my judgement on the fact you said something which wasn't in the quote. Okay, but the salient point here is that reading is not sufficient ...

So then at least some things in nature do have reasons for happening? This is irrelevant, since the teleological explanation functions as part of the ...

Is this site a virus? :s the link looks very weird lol (just joking), but it doesn't work on my browser/computer - neither does the other one linked i...
