1. I am not rambling. Only an idiot can't see that I am making sensible points. 2. Paranoia is an unfounded fear. I don't have unfounded fears, especi...
Thank you. This is a very sensitive subject for me, the hatred that Praxis feels for me, so please forgive me that i did not recognize your humour. Wh...
Praxis completely fails to see a proper criticism and he mistakes it for "mockery" and "vendetta". He is an unreasonable person who uses every opportu...
I don't see how that is possible. Hitler treated and organized an entire nation to torture and kill another people on drummed up and absolutely false ...
Because the example is clear, concise, and understood by everyone on the planet. Hitler is seen as unreasonable tyrant who used brute force against a ...
Praxis is at it again doing his practice. Why he hates me is a mystery to me, but now I got used to it. Maybe he has a reason, or maybe it is an innat...
There might be a possibility that they made a typo, and wanted to write "you're content". You are happy when you see that list, happier when you see y...
Conspiracy theories are like wanton, unabashed, gratuitous violence in a movie with no plot, which describes now all and every show, movie and tv seri...
I dunno. I tried to fake orgasms before, but it's not the same thing. There is a lot lacking in there. Not worth it. Don't buy any cheap imitations. R...
Animals have rights. But only American animals. It's in the Charter of Animal Rights in the Canadian Constitution. If the right of an animal gets viol...
I think the distinction is that in real transcendence, you really transcend. In perceived transcendence you think you have transcended, but not really...
"Death is something that happens to other people, but not to me." - Character, in one of Terry Pratchett's novels. "Death is nature's way to tell you ...
Precisely what I said, and you said it more succinctly and clearly. I think I said that philosophy does use empirical observations, but the interpreta...
You probably object to my having "morality and ethics" as the subject of the clause, while then later I refer to them as "it". There is a reason for i...
Hm. So it isn't. There are two ways to be not logical: 1. By committing a logical error, for instance, saying that the cat is both alive and dead in t...
Not illogical. The faith in god is unassailable by logic. But unscientific, yes. Science is based on evidence. There is no empirical evidence of god. ...
Tom, I am not going to rewrite the page because you object to the example. The example is clear and to the point. If you have an obvious or not-so obv...
Islamist terrorists are another good idea. American aggression abroad is another. Ideas abound. Why pick on the one I picked and blame me for picking ...
So good is moral? I contest that, with the argument that 1. if they were equivalent, (and you use straight equivalency to explain the other with subst...
What you, as the readers, I ask to realize, is that my theory is not a guidance or a fail-proof prescription of behaviour; it is instead a failproof p...
What you said is the same as what you have quoted from me. And that is precisely what my theory claissifies so, that it ("it" being the vexing contrad...
An example of a theory in philosophy that contains the elements of philosophy as describe by me, is the theory on morality I have proposed and nobody ...
I think you people have placed too much emphasis on truth and falsehoods of philosophy and science. Truth is temporary in its nature, and therefore tr...
To me, the difference between philosophy and science is this: 1. They are both based on prior knowledge. 2. They both add to prior knowledge new knowl...
There are two schools of that. There is blind belief, which has no knowledge, and there is knowledge, which some say includes belief. This is what the...
You hadn't noticed? We did not refute the existence of a god. Of any god. (Other than YHWH's. It's either your way, or the Yahweh. -- Paul Spenser.) B...
yeah, I anticipated this one. My guess is that you wanted to hear from atheists that it is impossible to prove atheism. In a way you went about it the...
I hear you, Michael. Your point is valid, and I am only trying to say that it is impossible to choose one specific individual as god. You nail Shawn b...
No. I just made a side remark. Not fully pertinent to the topic. But so is not the opinion that we must choose YHWH to be the person we talk about. Th...
this is precisely what it is. Belief in the scriptures is optional. Fully. You can't attach an argument to the truth of the scriptures, as it is thoug...
I respectfully oppose that idea. Your proposition, Shawn, would be discriminatory and religionist. Michael has resptectfully proposed that there could...
You can't refer to a specific individual of whose personal characteristics you know nothing. For instance: Human A: "We have an individual that we kno...
I answered it last night when I was very sleepy. I was very satisfied with my answer. However, I did not click on "commit" or whatever it is that exit...
Because god knows god exists. He has no need for faith to accept that he exists. An atheist is one who believes there is no god. If you have knowledge...
Right. However. My first name is Peter. (Not my real name.) Am I the only Peter in the entire history of the world? Are there other Peters aside from ...
I exist. So 180 does not. If he exists too, then there could be two gods. Nobody says there has to be only one. That is an assumption that can't be su...
This can only be interpreted this way because you are not familiar with the theory, and you grossly dress it up with your own assumptions which are ac...
Science and logic have not found a proof to disprove the existence of god but they possibly and probably may do so in the future. Either way. SnL may ...
No worries, Michael, it's all in a day's work. I've been insulted and insulted others on this forum, only to walk hand-in-hand later into the sunset o...
I am sorry for upsetting you. But you must understand that unsubstantiated claims can have equal, and opposite counter-claims. If you say "most CEOs h...
What do you mean "significant" when you say significant portion? Did you count the ones coming from modest backgrounds? How do you define "modest" bac...
At the risk of contradicting you, I must say that in high finance it is also true. I worked in one of the largest Canadian banks, in the Inspection de...
