god must be atheist

:up: :gasp: :grimace: :death: I agree. Our fate is surprise, then fear, then death. Makes perfect sense.

I so totally misunderstood you when I formulated my sermon. Could it be, that your wish is not to find love, but to turn to be a giver, provider and p...

Courage, Brother. Or Sister. Or someone on any point on the spectrum. Remember three things: The student appears when the teacher is ready. Love is no...

Yeah... tired of the stupidity of the world. They see written "yes" and they will say it says "no", because their cognitive dissonance can only be rat...

Maybe.

Wikipedia is full of total bullshit, spewed by Socrates-worshipping blinded nincompoops. 1. Everything Socrates said was derived by Plato's account. S...

A case of sour grapes? And people argued about that for millennia. I think you're right. No matter what a great thinker one is, one is still bitter fo...

You had me as a reference but you did not quote the part you found pertinent. I think we think too much into texts. If he wanted to say that you think...

You say that he wanted the fireplace to keep every home warm. That's very nice. I don't have a family. I used to think he stole the fire to show the g...

Socrates was totally wrong. He knew some things. He did not know everything, but he was far from knowing nothing. I wonder why he would want to underm...

Yes, it's implying that. But that implication as knowledge is also knowledge, which science is; so it says that its own claim is false. You find yours...

In the "Hitchhikers' Guido to the Galaxy", a man became immortal, via a freak accident in a warped experiment. Many people tried to emulate the experi...

I don't get it. Why should I use it for my next story?

even his last name suggests he wasn't into direct asceticism.

The ascendention drowns like a base solution. :scream:

Oh, of course! I read that already. Good choice, man, for your precious vote. Imagine! Just one of those for your entire life. It's like your soul or ...

Nice try. I am in not Hungary right now. I am sure an atheist is getting up in the morning (it's around five a.m.) with an advanced TP sense, and says...

Amen. :halo:

You are very astute and keen observer, Jamalrob. I said that first as a point of my stance. The second two times I said that because you egged me on. ...

I so expected that. For the record, no I have not voted.

:rofl: Well, tell me, please. I don't promise I'll vote for it, but I am curious which one you want to promote. I promise that maybe I'll read it, but...

You're right, and I agree. Except I won't vote, for fairness sake. Since I can't (not that I don't want to bother) read all the stories, I won't vote....

In my opinion "Marco" is the popular text, for three reasons: 1. it is terse. Not too much energy needed to stay with the story, either. 2. It is clea...

How are you handling your task of brushing the teeth of 7 billion people every morning and after each meal? Or, more literally to the word, if you buy...

The writer captures how anything can happen in a subway train in a mega-city. The alienation. The anger. The coming together of broken lives and lives...

I don't know if I will or if I won't. At this time I'm busy, too buys, fighting other demons.

I agree.

I wonder what you base this on. Any supporting ideas? How does a person appear to be who is unknown to you? And only one of the two persons appear to ...

Agreed. Since I am a slow reader, I voluntarily forego my right to vote. I can't read them all... not due to the short time given, but because I can't...

Who knows? My assumption was based on my own reading preferences of what order to read in. Some have the same, some have different. I could not make a...

The comments of John27 are really worth watching out for too. He reads the entries like a philosopher, as well as like a literary critic.

Absolutely. She's a sweetie. And I say that while I am happily married, because she's sweet in her capacity as a critic.

It's not just you.. it's me, too. I am an extremely slow reader, and my attention can't be focussed for a reasonable length of time. I am sorry but I ...

I don't know. My belief says that my soul dies with my body. Do they take bodies at the pearly gates?

I actually agree with your definitions, Tim Wood; I am only concerned that other Christians have different opinions on what constitutes being a Christ...

Can you convince any other Christian of this? Including Jehowa's Vitnesses, and Baptists?

Peace on Earth, Good Will Toward Man/Woman/Person/Animals/Birds/not Spiders or biting insects / But Bees, Yes/ Fishes / Not to Sharks / and generally ...

No, you are trying to hang an opinion on me, which does not fit. But you failed this time. Just a declaration of one aspect of Christianity is NOT a d...

Not only well documented, but the documentation or intuitive reasoning makes a convincing argument. In other words, if the criteria are present, they ...

You provided yet another interpretation to compete with all the others, already given: "The search for meaning of Christianity is the meaning of Chris...

Quite so. People are scared of new ideas, and the most scared of the newest ideas are the most mediocre philosophers. Please see my two essays, and th...

Ah, but there is the rub. The character, essence and teaching of Christ are up for interpretation. A bi-cycle (two wheels) is not for interpretation. ...

Oh, yes. Cal.

The only letters to add to your name that come up naturally are "-ville Horror". Title of an old movie. Essayists need no imagination, only keen insig...

I knew you were not a writer of fiction, but a responder to it. This is more intuited than I could support with reasons. But my earlier question to yo...

Indeterminable. "Interesting" does not necessarily equate "makes sense". None of the listed qualities equate to "makes sense". I had a friend in the p...

Noticing your preferences, Baden, I have a novel published that you would like to buy. But I shall put it on public display here, in its entirety, for...

Are you by any chance a professional editrix, critic or literar? A woman of letters? Essayist?

Or maybe I am incomprehensible... it happens.

The form was consistent, and it had a cadence. The reader was proven something, that the reader desperately needed to see reversed, and it was never r...
