god must be atheist

This is a flashback to the empty set being both red and not red (with the blood of the murder victim, presumably.) So if you ought not to murder, then...

Hehe, i completely missed that. Leave it to a psychopathic immoralist, to misunderstand a question which has one of the basic human values as an unspo...

My goodness. So you say that P=V*T is an evil, while V=P/T is goodness? Are you saying that the preservation of momentum is actually really evil, whil...

I don't know how Plato would answer this, but my impression is that the men who live it in a cave there, in dark, deep forest, and essentially who we ...

You live in New York City, too? Try moving to Athens, or to Delphi, PA, (good fortune tellers there), or to Paris, Ontario (great for existentialists)...

I noticed that on the forums run on singles' sites there was quite a big talk on philosophy. This was back 10-20 years ago before I got finally banned...

I appreciate this. Many a classic or modern conundrum is often served up missing essential elements. Well spotted, TMF. I did not have the wherewithal...

You ought not to murder... why not? It is carved in stone or something? Sure you ought to murder. There are times when it can't be avoided, and there ...

1. Truth (if the prophecy is accurate, precise and not trivial). 2. A revelation that all prophecies in the bible are false, misleading and just for s...

That is true. But our beliefs are not the issue. The reality is the issue... our beliefs may be false, totally false, and we wouldn't know it. There i...

Either because a person prefers a consequentialist ethic, or because the deontological ethics finds itself in self-contradictory quagmire very soon in...

I agree.

Thanks for the clarification. I am glad you raised this point. In my opinion there is no definition of morality. I think of morality and of doing good...

There is a huge switch. Switching to a belief may be a switch to a bad belief. 1. God may not be straight with us; maybe the life he promises to rewar...

This does not address the issue. At all. It's like saying "Imagine a black knight on a white horse riding toward the mountains. The mountains represen...

Israel refused entry to the Jews fleeing persecution in Arab countries? Come ON! I can see some problems where Israeli intelligence had to screen the ...

Right. But what are your moral criteria. You must weigh the pros and the cons; you must have some guidlines for yourself. You can't just arbitrarily j...

So this is regional. You attach moral right to moral majority. This is a purely personal, subjective criteria of what constitues morality. So far so g...

How do you judge? On what basis? What is a good decision and a bad decision? How do you rank decisions from bad to good to better to best? "A lot of t...

I just said, in my post, that morality is undefinable. My definition is as good as yours and Maria Theresia's and the pope's and Hitlers. There is no ...

You may be right, but then again, look at the Palestinian refugees. Which Muslim country embraced the Muslim Palestinian refugees to enter their count...

My understanding is that Eastern (Oriental, far East, East Asian) societies are extremely into unification of styles (Mao-era clothing dressing -- the...

You are always happy! I have yet to see you once being unhappy. I attribute your happiness, from what I've seen in earlier long threads in which you p...

Yes, Christians LOVE to run around circular reasoning. "I believe the Bible. Why? Because the Bible is true How do I now that? Because it says that in...

This aint' philosophy. This is a personal belief, a personal opinion, a statement of personal values. Love, with all its acoutrements, based on Darwin...

Noah Te Stroete likes to call me a "psychopathic asshole". I think. My rote memory is not so perfect. I have actually grown to like that nic. It has a...

I haven't seen the film, but I read the criticism of it. "A word to the wise is sufficient". I believe the poster who said it was convoluted and I bel...

This has been documented? If you want to pull in fantasy and imagination to prove conspiracy theories, then you are really gone far out.

An HIV positive spirit?

Ultimately, nobody knows what morality is, or can define it in a fool-proof way. Consequently I think all moral decisions are stupid. From a philosoph...

"Wrong reaction to the reaction to the reactor." I like this. Three occurances of the very same concept that have three different and distinct meaning...

I haven't watched the movie, but "Creating gravitational waves" with a reactor sounds fishy. Force of gravity is a funcion of mass and distance. In th...

Yes, in your mind, in which "Logical reasoning that destorys Noah Te Stroete's arguments" is equivalent to "psychopathic asshole". Nowhere else is thi...

Nice point, but it's irrelevant to the topic of "wealth." Your escape route is blocked.

My point is that whether we are wealthy or not judging by our own best judgment, we have no knowledge what amount of wealth disqualifies a person from...

"Blessed are the Cheesemakers for theirs is the inheritance of the Earth." ^That actually applies to all manufacturers of dairy products.

Wealth is a relative term. There is no such point in the Bible or anywhere else where it is decided NON-ARBITRARILY who is wealthy and who is poor. Th...

However, notwithstanding my defence of the example I'd given, I admit you are right, @"Possiblity". Love has been a complex, individual mix of emotion...

Or else I'd be right to presume this to be the case. You can't have a monopoly on my being probably wrong or probably right.

comment by to god must be atheist, in another thread: Furthermore, you’re a psychopathic asshole. — Noah Te Stroete reply to the above by god must be ...

No further comments.

If I read you right, this is not actually what I claimed. Let me give it a try. 1. I sense things in the physical world. 2. I assume that what I sense...

This is where you confused me. Your statement is a non sequitur to my point. I tried to address the relationship between your apparent "wisdom" and my...

I concur. The first of the last few posts was sensible, though, methinks. The one before the one I juxtaposed two of your declared beliefs. For the re...

You in one fell swoop dismiss entire libraries of engineering and other scientific knowledge. Chemical, biochemical, whatever you want to name it, you...

There is a theory of mobility; you go out, you come back, and in the main, your final destination remains the same. The difference between the rich an...

1. Oil is a commodity. It is sold on the commodity markets, which are not retail markets. If you buy a Columbia Coat in Vancouver, and one in Toronto,...

Now you are talkin'. Sports, and drugs. Rock'n'Roll went out the window with sex, i.e. with the sexual counter-revolution, due to AIDS. It was only co...

NO, no. My conspiracy theory is in the news. Yours is behind the headlines. Mine are in the li(n)es. Yours are in-between. Which are more likely to be...

They learned this from Hitler's Nazi movement, and from the Communist terror propagation. Except in America everyone buys the lies. This is because th...
