My lesson from this thread is that theists are addcited to the opium of the masses. Once you start it, you'll forever be missing it if you don't conti...

And I am not sure, but what is the philsosophical implication you are attempting to draw from this exercis, @"isaacmoris"? And I am not sure, but your...

When I was a baby, I liked to suck on my mother's teats. These days I STILL like to suck on lady's breasts, despite the apparent lack of ensuing nutri...
Thanks, P, for answering my exhaustive question, to my satisfaction, actually. There are many corollaries you instigated with this claim, and I mentio...
The thema of the previous post of mine prior to this very one, can be debunked by asking me, to describe precisely how the sequence of events happened...
Precisely, but the development of thought re: laws and cause and effect is a bit like which came first, the chicken or the other chicken. If you belie...
Precisely. Newton discovered many laws, such as preservation of momentum and energy, such as the nature of acceleration by gravity, such as the law th...
Aft this lecture, when he talked about how in some instances the caused event preceds in time the causing event, I walked up to him, and said, if we c...
Funny. To me this was one theory early on in learning philosophy as a dilettante, validated me for myself as a real philosopher. This tenet of Hume's ...
You got it nailed down well. However, you can still argue with the smarter religious, even if you don't convince them. And the arguments, while clean,...
@"Metaphysical Undercover" please note: I am sorry, but I see no nuance difference between these two expressions. I am on the opinion, @"Metaphysical ...
One more case where you ought to have thought philosophically. I say this, because objectivity / subjectivity has nothing to do with proving or dispro...
I appreciate it's your belief, and against belief I have no logical argument.** Let me know if anything changes. ** Not you, but people tenaciously cl...
So is the claim that a god does not exist. Or some gods do not exist. If you don't believe me, prove it to me. I personally believe that there are no ...
Thanks, Terrapin Station, the mechanism is there, I understand it now. But I still don't understand the survival value of team sports. If I am proud o...
There is nothing to know about god. I am on the opinion that there is nothing humans can learn or know about god until things in this world fundamenta...
I don't know if you had a chance to think it through or you had a chance to proofread your script. You wrote: "So you could say that ... both of them ...
The video is pretty straightforward, but the guy speaks with an almost incomprehensible accent. Luckily he posted at the trailing end of his video som...

Thanks for delving into the issue of how to be childlike in the Christian sense to illuminate the wording for my sake. I hope there was something in i...
It's this pronoun I am talking about. Its proper spelling lacks an apostrophe. It's not a big deal, but it's the most common mistake made in English s...
I am curious what further insight into the existence or nonexistence of god did you gain by realizing you have a body which is independent of your sou...
I love this. So fucking beautifully complicated, yet sensible and logical. Except the Byzantines would not get expelled, due to lack of religious pers...
Thanks, SZ. So you need to repent, and prepare yourself for preeminence by humbling yourself. These are the qualities of the children, that Jesus name...
I agree with you. Things that are knowable can be used against you. If a criminal or a bad person gets his hand on knowledge, much like Adam bit into ...
SZ, to wit: I did an honest effort doing an Internet search to find the quote you used. I searched the ultimate Bible website, but it found no matches...
