god must be atheist

You are using a comparative without an object. Is Ch'an Buddhism more about observation and using logic, than WHAT? Your sentence screams for an ancho...

Right you are. We've been under the same impression around here. Except some of us would not think that physics can explain the "why" at all, flaws or...

I am an atheist. I believe there is no god. I allow the possibility of the existence of a god or some gods, but to claim any knowledge of the nature o...

The idea of a loving and omnipotent god. Survived and spread like wildfire from day one of its inception. Fornicating is still the most pleasurable ac...

The theory sounds sound. Most voters can't tell the location of Australia on the map. Nuff said.

Philosophy is love of wisdom, and as such, it depends partly on finding the truth. The truth can be ugly, and there are sayings about that. Philosophy...

This gave me to deeper thoughts: Why is it good to be moral? Why is it important for us to prove to others we are moral? Why is it that all of us make...

Well, this implicates the good will. If I am to help myself, am I allowed to hurt others, and still be moral? Or the other way around.

If you think, @"Nils Loc", that my bull-example or analogy of what philosophy is, I patterned after the quote below. I carried the joke and the analog...

Interesting proposition. Ideas are not reproducing by themselves; it is the mind that makes similar, but not identical, replicas of an idea when it pr...

I am not trashing threads. It's true I say my opinions straightforwardly, provokatively and with a lot of emphasis. I never "trash" (to use your word ...

I don't know what you are referring to. Where is the contradiction? I am not pretending to be stupid. I really see no contradiction. I don't have a go...

What's PUI?

But surely you can call a shellfish selfish. Or a shelf-ish piece of furniture shelfish. Or a selfish person when you are drunk shelfish. EDIT: Maybe ...

Philosophy is like a bull that asks ideas out, entertains them, has a few drinks with them, dances with them in the dark, then f them brutally, withou...

Is Buddhism a religion or a philosophy? I think it depends on what side of the Lotus Flower you find yourself sitting on. It can be both, and it can b...

You are absolutely right. Because there is no such thing as "probability calculus". Probablity and statistics are in the finite numbers branch of math...

Apples fell on people's heads for tens of thosuands of years before one looked at that stamp and said, Hey, this makes sense if you use this hypothese...

How do we know that time passes when nothing happens? How do we know that time passes when things happen? If we accept that time passes when nothing h...

... And if you would rather lie... then would you rather lie in velvet, or in white satin?

Opening posts' question: Do People Have Free Will? Some people do, some people don't.

I read the OP and the next two responses, so I am not sure if what I am going to say has been said. It is true that most people these days think that ...

Okay, I give you a number. You tell me how long a time it denotes. 5. How long time is 5? If that's too difficult, here's an easier one: 44. How long ...

This is true. And those who do research in the paranormal are just as equally liable to show income statments and statement of assets and liabilities ...

Let's say you are right. So how do YOU know it's a short period of time? If the time does not exist, you wouldn't know that would you. Yet you, yourse...

I agree with Mww. However, if you want to put into perspective how T.I. relates to solipsism (S), then you may want to consider that: S denies the exi...

Even if this is true... what you imagine... it does not refute the truth in the Bible that indicates that God and Jesus Christ are two fucking horribl...

I suspect you are the guy who has been long trolling philosophy sites. You make interesting yet absurd claims all over the place. I normally shun you,...

It has not been unrepeated yet. Are you claiming something with that question, or are you simply making a journalistic inroad to discredit your oppone...

Newton invented absolute space to illustrate his theory. His other theory, the gravitational theory, does not need infinite empty space. It is only us...

In light of the abovve, you have to prove that yet. You can't say your claim is necessarily true.

Interesting question. But only applicable to a world where nothing happens. Is our world that, or is our world in constant change and motion? You deci...

No, you don't ask yourself that question. You are mixing up the gravitational effect by Newton, and the Newtonean theory of spacial kinetic geometry, ...

They attract each other. It is not true according to the gravity theory, that only the larger mass attracts the smaller mass.

Yes... you gotta love a religion that sends untold millions to burn in hell fire for ever and ever experiencing the most excruciating pain without a l...

So you are saying that the Chinese room is a brain with one neuron... as the man is analogous to the neuron. Yet you proved it that one neuron does no...

I deflect that back to you, TMF. My description was flawless. Point out the mistake(s) in it if you please. Just making a general statement about my a...

I'm sorry for being reticent, MSC. I can get easily bored. It is not your fault, but somehow -- and please don't let this bother you -- your questions...

Okay, I finally read the second last paragraph. In the human mind, according to my belief anyway, there is a conceptualization what "wheather" is, and...

I don't know if this makes a difference, but the guy following instructions could be a machine. He does not need a mind. A person who has a mind, and ...

As it stands, X, Y and Z will each have a belief: O was real, or O was unreal. They can't beleive both that it was real and unreal. So the probability...

This is peculiar. Because the probability of reality of O is a subjective probability, therefore the mathematician has to consider the reality probabi...

No sweat. My pleasure.

I still think they should be banned when they present in a mass invasion force. They have an agenda, I presume, which is to christianize the world. Th...

xxxx is a variable predicate. What are you trying to achieve by asking me to keep on explaining myself?

It's not a matter of feeling. I don't know if you answered my question.

You asked what common sense was. I explained it. That's the point. "Common sense" in the quote by Wittgenstein is nothing but a bad translation that a...

Sorry, post by mistake. Please disregard.

Obviously I can't speak for Wittgenstein, but substitute intuitive sense for common sense and the whole paragraph makes intuitive sense. Common sense ...

Your sloppiness is excused, but that does not help me understand the above. The sentence in this quote is too ambitious. Try to make this a string of ...
