god must be atheist

Banno, there was no way for me to quess the reference to the article you cited came from, since you claim now that the article you referenced was ment...

you referenced something without telling me what you were talking about; a little while later you gave an ambiguous answer what you were talking about...

No thank you. Instead, it would be helpful if you could explain in simple, street-level terms what you mean. But I won't hold you to it, you do it if ...

I apologize, but I can't agree to something I don't understand. I have no formal training in philosophy, and you seem to have. You have to come down t...

I suggest this article. You need a good night's sleep, Banno.

Here's the other article you suggested supports your claim: You ... ... . This has nothing to do with the comparison of human's intelligence today and...

I learned my lesson well. I think this is what you are referring to: This is a flawed article. Mutations do not occur to all members of a species all ...

The evolutionary change I suggested is nowhere near what you suggest here I suggested. I merely suggested in the article that there was a mechanism in...

I believe you refer to these two instances in my post: I left out a major part in my first quoted text. The processes are algorithmic in the sense tha...

A few years back my brother called me up. He just got home from work, and there was a huge bouquet of flowers on his porch. He got angry, "Who is the ...

I asked my wife to let me know of the birthday of her two children two weeks prior on an annual basis; and I asked her daughter to tell me on an ongoi...

My free will was a tad too free for me... it left me. On its own accord.

Read the article again... it says the "average person". I have 6 kg of virus-originated DNA.

All questions are abstract, since language is an abstraction. You spelled out that IQ is a "strange" kind of intelligence. What do you mean by that? I...

Hi, Garret, just to let you know: I have stopped reading your posts some time ago. I think (without proof) that you are a simple naysayer, without eno...

I must be a guy. I never noticed that, because I haven't made it a habit to browse Valentine Day cards at drugstores. Ask me again, Tiff, after my gen...

6 Kg of me is tiny DNAs foreign to me. 6Kg is not me, my family or the postman. It weighs more than all the sperm I ever produced, all the thoughts th...

In existentialist literature, yes. But in the real world it's giving up trying.

The racket seems to be that each worker responsible for their clients makes in salary many multiples of what the clients get. Each social worker is re...

I was just wondering about the same thing earlier today. How much does welfare cost to Canadians? What is the portion of the GNP that goes on welfare,...

Virtuoso balls! (Snicker...)

Thanks for finally replying to me. I don't think I ever said that moral acts are algorithmic processes, but now that you say that, I believe they are....

Pox on your first born, and a the scream of a thousand angry dead souls to constantly ring in your ears. Those are... sort of idioms, not quite, but i...

there are libraries full of books on reincarnation, Buddhism, Judaism, Sadism, Christianity, Voodoo, The Illiterati, Hubbardism, Scientology, MORALS A...

Oh, yes. There are entire libraries filled with books on the philosophy of the unknown. We just haven't located those libraries yet.

Unfortunately the welfare state is failing too. In my town people live in doorways and tents on the street. They beg politely. Crime is still not up h...

Reason-driven reasonable reasoning. Correct conclusions.

I actually did not define freedom. I think the issue is more subtle. Not everything that allows or helps you achieve your goals in a society is freedo...

Hoo, boy. That's a massive article. I managed to read the first two paragraphs, and they were riveting. (No joke.) Unfortunately I can't read longer t...

Baker, thanks for putting in the Brahms piece. I feel 5% more Hungarian now than before I listened to it. This is a very good rendition of it. Hungari...

Oh, drat. I almost bid on this, because I thought it was the abstract rendition of "Lenin Giving A Speech To The Workers of the Kolhozmanovszki Iron W...

Can this art work even be defaced? I think for an art work to be defaced, first it must have a face. Vegetarian people only buy abstract art, obviousl...

I think traffic lights do interfere with personal freedom. Red light means you cannot go ahead. My goal is to go ahead. I am being stopped in achievin...

In my opinion only Black persons in the United States can truly experience the condition of what it means and what it feels like to be a Black person ...

It takes just a little research to see that I wasn't blowing shit out of my mouth, like Ciceronianus claimed. "On the Connection Between Law and Justi...

Very nice of you to pretend to know what I think, coming up with opinions I did not say, and describing a process in a way I did not prescribe and the...

Indeed. Scientists don't know what they measure with IQ tests, they just know that the results are consistent, and predictive. The operative word here...

You are not responding to what I said. You treat people. We don't know if in the capacity of a physician or not. You say too many people who are plain...

"Hano. Hanoverse, hannoverse... hano. Hannoverse hanoverse. Hano. Hanoverse Hano. Hanoverse, hano, a hano, hanooooo..." Sang to the whistling tune of ...

There are an infinite number of universes in which Hangovers exist. No exception.

Not even in an infinite number of universes??? WAaaa, I'm going to cry. My only dream has been (until now) to live in a universe in which Henry the Ei...

In an infinite whatever, blah, blah, blah, there is one or more in which Hanover occurs on a philosophy website. This could be good or bad, depending ...

I exaggerated. You're right. Standards can be thrown out the window, however, in case of a Jury trial. And I wasn't exaggerating when I said that the ...

Actually, the justice system is already perverse. It does not serve justice, and you can ask any lawyer and they will say the same thing. The justice ...

Yes. Absolutely. In the universe with one more verse, the next verse is the third verse. In a universe with infinite number of verses to the song are ...

This actually does not state you are a physician. You could be a nurse, a nurse practitioner, an orderly on a ward, or a social worker, even a paraleg...

Part of my reclassifying your profession was due to your attitude toward your own patients. If you were a doctor, and you deemed your patients to be n...

lack of motivation is a sign of depression. You'd throw out all the depressed people off of welfare, because they are unmotivated? I assume not, you s...
