This is absurd. You do realise how insulting that is - you're basically saying someone cannot support Trump unless they have personal problems - you'r...

Okay fine, if you don't want to respect me, then we can't have a conversation together, end of story. So I will not reply anymore to you until you dec...

What did I say? Seems like I was right. Actually no, I didn't dismiss them as context-less. Anyway, when you decide to uphold the very rules that you ...
February 26, 2017 at 11:03
Well I am an Eastern Orthodox. The thing is you are right that salvation must ultimately be bestowed by God through grace - however this manifests its...
February 26, 2017 at 09:39
No, the two concepts aren't contradictory in any way. They are actually compatible. It is true that Aristotle means something different by Substance t...

And? Shouldn't she be locked up? There has probably never been a more corrupt family in American politics than the Clintons - they have their hands in...

Right, it's a philosophy forum, where we're supposed to respect each other, and yet you hypocritically proceeds to insult others and accuse their idea...
February 26, 2017 at 08:53
I would claim that this is impossible. Firstly, I think belief comes in degrees - and secondly people can believe something without even being intelle...
February 25, 2017 at 22:17
Anyway - for me, most people around me are not believers, so I've encountered a lot of refusal/mockery of the Biblical teaching - especially of its mo...
February 25, 2017 at 21:30
It is possible to consider it so, but for me, it's more an ethical commitment. Keeping the commandments of God (duty), love and community. It would be...

I got 118 - 29/33 - >92% people, but I rushed the last 3 questions for fear of running out of time - guess-timated them >:O (actually I think I had mo...

Personally I think "post-truth", quite ironically, doesn't even refer to Trump, but rather to the media itself. The media is post-truth - what they re...
February 25, 2017 at 19:42
Interesting. I'm a theist as well, but I've always found it hard to stake belief in God on metaphysical commitments. I mean, what do you do if one of ...
February 25, 2017 at 19:26
Well first of all, it is important to separate metaphysics from attitudes. For example, a pessimist doesn't emerge out of metaphysics, but rather it i...

But morally speaking he was. He was the paragon of virtue amongst the Roman Emperors
February 25, 2017 at 19:10
What I "display" depends to a large degree on how each person interprets it, obviously. I see, my bad then.
February 25, 2017 at 14:48
First, that isn't so - hence why I said we're all equal around here. The fact that I disagree with Wayfarer and think I'm right doesn't mean I think o...
February 25, 2017 at 14:42
So Wayfarer perceives me as more powerful than him? :s That's so absurd man, we're all equal as far as I'm aware, in terms of power here.
February 25, 2017 at 14:32
This isn't an accurate portrayal. The press isn't leaving Trump alone either, and continuously treats him unfairly and even disrespectfully. I see wha...
February 25, 2017 at 12:39
Not really... What does he get so wrong? A big mafia don 8-) - his name is Professor Michael Sugrue :D
February 25, 2017 at 11:24
Like me :P Well to be honest, what would you do if you were DJT, and you were trying to implement your program and the press was harassing you continu...
February 25, 2017 at 11:16
No, but he allowed others to claim that he was bullied, which is a problem. Good. You should in the future delete posts from all those people who prov...
February 25, 2017 at 11:11
Yes. So what? How's that a "big deal"? How is someone posting two words "naval gazing :-O " a big deal? First of all, it was a simple joke, as indicat...
February 25, 2017 at 10:07
Alas, I must congratulate you, despite not agreeing with you. You twisted the rest of the moderators hands and changed the rules of the forum almost s...
February 24, 2017 at 18:49
We never had a lot of women members, either here or there.
February 24, 2017 at 18:18
Hmm it says on your profile "Administrator"... only you and jamalgod have that, that's why I call you chief. He's the boss, you're the vice-boss ;)
February 24, 2017 at 13:01
What was wrong with the tone and nature of my posts discussing Wayfarer's comments on New Age, that wasn't the case with the posts at the beginning of...
February 24, 2017 at 13:00
Okay, I agree with that fundamentally. However, how do we decide what is and isn't off-topic? For example, in the Father Rohr thread, talk of women's ...
February 24, 2017 at 12:16
:s You said: So this is wrong, and I disagree with it. The individual doesn't want all institutions which shape the individual to continue. Some insti...
February 24, 2017 at 10:16
How does that make me any different from anyone else in the cultural sphere? Everyone else wants to propagate themselves, and obviously not propagate ...
February 24, 2017 at 10:03
There is also the question of the trade-off between biological survival and intellectual survival. The latter has a longer reach. Socrates' suicide fo...

The devil's best defence is to say he doesn't exist X-)
February 24, 2017 at 09:37
I mean your post may be read as ironic - in Victorian England :P
February 24, 2017 at 09:22
Surely, but I doubt most people would understand your post as ironic, especially if they didn't know you. Since the belief that consent is all that is...
February 24, 2017 at 09:20
I mean that video almost gives you a hardon as @"Heister Eggcart" would say >:O
February 24, 2017 at 09:18
Ok, so how am I to understand you meant that ironically? How does the context suggest you meant it ironically? I can clearly not perceive this - maybe...
February 24, 2017 at 09:13
It's very powerful no? :D Especially Part II 0:30 onwards.
February 24, 2017 at 09:12
Lol... you can't actually be serious now. Crowley was a Satanist. And consent being the only criteria for sexual relationships is insane, and most cer...

You all must attend a virtual university and watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nLD09Qa3kMk&list=PL860E6C2164FCD8B9 Please report back when you ha...

That's a bit pretentious of you I recommend a change of operating system ;) First please tell me what is the way women are considered property under p...
February 23, 2017 at 17:48
Now do you guys think that all these people - were the retards to think chastity was a virtue?! >:O

February 23, 2017 at 16:23
Oh dear... how does this square with what I have said that virginity isn't physical?! The hymen can break without intercourse. Not in all societies. T...
February 23, 2017 at 16:21
And is that good or bad?
February 23, 2017 at 16:18
There's a reason why those were the beginnings of civilisation. Alas, I don't take much concern with same-sex marriage, my concern is with promiscuity...
February 23, 2017 at 16:17
In terms of their social organisation, and capacity for building a prosperous, expanding civilisation, where culture, learning and virtue flourish. Sa...
February 23, 2017 at 16:11
Actually chastity is precisely one characteristic that is specific of civilisation, not of savagery.
February 23, 2017 at 16:08
LOL - I can't follow that. So what about chastity? Chastity implies virginity prior to marriage. Chastity has frequently been considered a virtue hist...
February 23, 2017 at 16:02
:-} Why do you suppose virginity applies only to women? I disagree. >:O >:O
February 23, 2017 at 15:47
Camels?! No, I'm busy with straw dogs... do you want one? I can send you an authentic Mongolian straw hot dog :D
