Being in a bad lot is not stressful. Not psychologically. Stress comes from having to be in a state of readiness. To change behaviour with a new stimu...
Okay, I am still pre-shower, but I could not wait with this. 0. "I don't believe in god" is equivalent to "I believe not in god". 1. I believe (in god...
You can believe in something not god, is different from not believing in god? It only means that in the first instance you make no claim about the exi...
It is not meaningless if god is to approve of OTHERS' commands. If you assume god is the entire creation, then you are right. But still, the result is...
The bonus question only has bogus answers. (The boogie man's main function is to get you. The boogie woman's main function is to dance all night long ...
Check your proof again. It is not right. 1. You say you can't believe in both God and Not God. 2. You say you can beleive in not (both god and Not God...
I believe the following (not proven facts, but items of belief): - supernatural forces don't exist, supernatural beings don't exist - matter and energ...
I find the position IMPOSSIBLE to not beleive in both Strega-etcs exist in your room, and that they don't exist in your room. That is a huge logical e...
Thank you for asking, Creativesoul. I think what I meant is that it is of no consequence how MUCH your anti-moral act would change your life situation...
Interesting that the chapter would be called "Beyond Good and Evil". According to this, morality is not an issue in history, in human lives; it is per...
Yes, madmen and madwomen (and madchildren, to a lesser degree) have a different slant on reality. The insight usually wanes with a major nervous break...
Sorry, PFHorrest, I'm a bit tired these days. I don't have much energy to read. I'm sort of hybernating my brain. My gf says it's the mid-winter blues...
Haha... those are not things. Name a THING. There are many arguments why those figures can't exist... I won't go into that as there are many arguments...
So you don't believe in god. You either believe or you don't. If you are not venturing a guess in either direction, then you don't. There is no middle...
I fully responded. You don't comprehend complex thought. That's not my fault. Fallacy of "Appeal to authority". Go home already No, it's not The reply...
That's why most atheists say they are also agnostic, whereas a religious person never says that. It is not possible for a religious person to comprehe...
I don't see any difference between the two. "I cannot rule it out" is the same as "Not impossible" which also means "potentially" ...and that's what a...
Arbitrary can easily be permanent If morals are part of god's essential nature, it is not arbitrary then, as long as god was not created. However, we,...

If DCT means Divine Command Theory, then your objection of Aleph Numbers' not answering your proposition is false. Because all one needs to do to dest...
The only thing wrong with it is that not all others are going to buy your definition. If they bought it, they would kneel. Directly the same applies t...
Why not? You have to show that. Pleasure can be attained by helping others. By satisfying one's sense of empathy. Pleasure can be attained by self-sac...
Oh, shawn, you're wallows. If my memory serves me right, you asked a whole bunch of unanswerable existential quesitons relating to psychiatric disease...
There are several SEMANTIC errors here; it is not that you ask an unanswerable question, it is that you use English words that don't together make any...
The implication is that the design is faulty. It can be shown that that proposition is false. Rabbits had several utility functions in the design; gun...
Well done, A Seagull; explaining concepts at the level that ought to be obvious to a ten-year-old is too tedious for me. Much like in math, it is easy...
I have to admire the fact, however, that you chewed your way through that wall of text. PFHorrest indeed has a tendency to prolixity. It is the one th...
Wayfarer I am afraid you understand the word "pleasure" in a very restricted sense. To you it may only mean base, or not base, physical pleasure. Read...
This suggests that animals are corrupt. Are they? (Wars happen when humans become corrupt and wars happen when the animal nature of humans reigns supr...
You and I read and studied and believe the teachings of completely different textbooks on history. The WWI was started over the squeezing out of the c...
Great response, ! I learned from you more about the nature of the Ubermensch than from anyone else before, including Nietzsche himself. I ain't joking...
I so totally agree with this post. Although some wars are ideology based (such as the recent wars in Nicaragua, in Viet Nam, in Cuba), most wars are e...
Also, probably very accurate to say that religious belief and innate intelligence are inveresely proportional. (I.e. the more religious, the less like...
Good idea, TheMadFool. And like all good ideas (and like all bad ideas) it has been done. One such example is this: https://www.amazon.ca/Introduction...
And yet you, yourself, proposet that we clarify what free will is, before answering the question; and then you blast everyone for not answering the qu...
More than semantic. If you ask what's the difference between use and purpose, then please refer to a dictionary. I speak and write in English. Describ...
Body parts can be viewed as serving a purpose, I can't deny that. But it also can't be denied that body parts do NOT serve a purpose, they just haphaz...
I seem to be arguing against defining morals as science, but there is another approach that makes that possible. I can't describe it here, as it merit...
Ah. Noam Chompsky. The minimal moral level as stated by him can be argued against, too. Take the persona of a state executioner. A person who kills pe...
No system of morality owns morality. Of course the followers and advocates of theists systems believe and advocate that moral truths come from gods, w...
Are we saying that Nietzsche (**N) was a mysogynist? I don't know if we are saying that. It is not a claim. It is a question. But if we indeed are say...
