I am afraid I can't accept your definition. There are things in the world which are neither good nor bad. They are neutral. Since your proposition dep...

I'm surely purely both. I eat both meat and vegetables. I sympathise with the sentiments of vegans re: killing and torturing animals is very sad and v...

True. Everything about Christianity depends on whcih Christian you speak to. I converesed with Christians on this forum who thought they were the only...

I have a much more relaxed view of psychiatry than Introbert, Mark Nyquist, et al. I think psychiatry has a bad rep because (true premises according t...

This is PECISELY why the rest of the 40 percent of the US population carries a loaded gun.

Look; you are not stupid. So don't for a moment think that I don't know your tactic. You oppose and you give opinions without making a stand on issues...

Existence is being not nothing. Please give me some time to research the quotes in which you tried to refute my argument that some human-made structur...

We live in an ordered universe that can be understood by humans. The universe consists entirely of physical substances - matter and energy. These subs...

You are right; I have no arguments against that. I am just saying I am not happy with that arrangement, and I created a neologism to circumvent this u...

Good question. Evil is an intentional harm done. For harm's sake, for the pleasure of the harmer. Tsetse flies and cancer: according to Christian dogm...

I think early religionists feared to give the almighty any negative qualities. This later evolved into annointing god only with positive qualities and...

Evility is a noun. Evil is an adjective. Evil is used as a noun because the English language lacks a noun form of evil. Hence the neologism evility.

Many Christians say that. Please see this and internalize its meaning:
October 24, 2022 at 19:11
Mine is not an original idea, but I developed it on my own without reading about it... some I expect will find it outrageous. Soiciety is a living, ev...

You show here very clearly that you haven't the slightest clue what morality entails. It is a social construct. There is no morality without society. ...

Bartricks, my friend, you are moving your own goal posts, very conisistently to your style, but this time you are fucking your own self. If the world ...

Without agreeing or disagreeing, if not that way, then in what way must we read the essay? It is the first instance I meet on this forum a claim that ...
October 11, 2022 at 03:41
Please don't blame me for your not seeing the answer in what you call non-answer. You expressed your demand of showing you separateness between natura...
October 11, 2022 at 03:19
I am sorry, but that's not a good answer. I fail to see why I should find you such a natural object. Go find it yourself. You probably put it under th...

Why should I? Instead, please find me: - a pyramid, in the fashion of burial place of pharaohs, complete with sarcophagi and mummies and mummified rem...

The human mind that will perceive it once it's known is what will MAKE it magnificent. The difference the expectation; that is what separates trivial ...
October 10, 2022 at 20:43
In the common informal English, it is. Man-made structures are not considered natural structures, unless they are freely found in nature, too. How wou...

Old joke: God is dead. -- Nietzsche. Nietzsche is dead. -- God.
October 08, 2022 at 23:15
Space and time are separate and absolute. Something can not be created from nothing. These reflect my world view almost completely. I would add 2.1. t...
October 08, 2022 at 23:08
This discussion may resemble other discussions. But my "catch" was that you said metaphysical statements can't be true or false. That is false. (Thank...
October 08, 2022 at 02:37
That's where you are wrong. They can be true or they can be false inasmuch as they apply to reality falsely or truly. But their true falsehood or trut...
October 08, 2022 at 02:32
More proof of your intellectual blindness.
October 08, 2022 at 02:29
I agree wholeheartedly. Morality is a man-made concept to describe a mechanism that forces man and some warm-blooded creatures to feel bad or good whe...
October 08, 2022 at 02:27
Thank you for admitting to intellectual blindness.
October 08, 2022 at 02:21
The examples you gave are also not metaphysical statements.
October 08, 2022 at 02:16
To say that these are metaphysical positions, you have to define "metaphysical" first. I would agree if you said "these are conceptual positions", or ...
October 08, 2022 at 02:15
What I am saying is that you don't need meaning to be necessarily true or necessarily false. The point here was truth value, not meaning. The greennes...
October 08, 2022 at 02:07
WHAT?? WHAT??
October 08, 2022 at 01:52
I don't want to assume that. There is no reason why we need to assume that (Other than for maintaining a mental well-being, for some.) "Finiteness is ...

October 08, 2022 at 01:45
You are false again. This is an axiomatically wrong thing to claim what you claimed. If you deny the validity of the law of the excluded middle on a p...
October 08, 2022 at 01:43
Obviously, then, I have no self-awareness whatsoever. I think I should be celebrated as one such to be first on a philosophy site.
October 08, 2022 at 01:40
Hohooo! That is false. (There is one truth value already.) "My spirit is green." metaphysical claim. "My spirit is green and my spirit is not green." ...
October 08, 2022 at 01:35
I did not find the poem humorous, until you said that it is written in the same format as a limerick, so it must have some homour in it... at which po...
October 08, 2022 at 01:31
I dunno. Objectively speaking, we have no clue how subjective our knowledge is to the objective reality, in terms of approaching the real world. Atoms...
October 06, 2022 at 10:47
How do we develop our conciousness and self-awareness? My first thought is that I don't know. My second thought is the same. And no matter how I try, ...

If you want to modify the behaviour of a large number of people, you must study how to modify the behaviour of a large number of people. Asking me to ...

You are saying humans are NOT human made???
October 06, 2022 at 10:02
You are saying, in essence, that we are disconnected from our bodies? Because the human body uses much more chemical, biological processes than what w...
October 06, 2022 at 09:55
This is a good question. How would you convince lions, sharks and necrotizing fasciitis bacteria that what they do is morally wrong?
October 06, 2022 at 09:46
How large samples did you go through to get to this generalization?
October 06, 2022 at 09:41
True. Very true. But the lack of money may stop you from making someone you love fall in love with you. And I ain't sentimental or callous.
October 06, 2022 at 09:39
Of course it's easy to call someone else silly when you give self-contradicting definitions to terms. People accept your first definition, and then wh...

I was going to make a forced joke, "where can you buy these tokens you speak so highly of?" but it wouldn't have been funny, and mostly I would have s...

You're right. I wrote it down as provocation.
