god must be atheist

Those who started wondering about my figures: six million Jews DIED in WWII death camps. 4 million Jews survived horrible conditions, torture, starvat...

, @"Terrapin Station" and @"necrofantasia", please see my comment two up form this. It is ridiculous to claim that hate speech is ineffective. The emp...

For those who insist on finding case studies of empirical evidence of hate speech causing undue and unwarranted violence, I offer the example of Nazi ...

An anti-point in case is the Hungarian Revolution and War of Independence of 1848. The revolution started (ie. was triggered, not caused) by a poem by...

@"Maureen", I often wonder how there are two different One and Only Gods, or three, at minimum. If you ask any truly believing Christian, Muslim or Je...

I think it's easy to make money with philosophy. You just have to seek out those individuals who are willing to pay money for hearing your philosophiz...

Thanks, Gregory, for your straight answer.

Gregory, I wish you would answer this with a simple yes or no: "I, Gregory, am so dissatisfied with the Bible (or the Koran) being proven wrong over a...

It's a cryin shaime and a crime that it's a shrine. But you can give a shiner to the enshrined- vote for Bernie this time, for shrining out loud.

Gnostic == knower, a knowing person. Greek word, Gnost is to know (or something). In Greek, the beginning "a" negates the word's meaning. Like, pathet...

Mainly for @"marzipanmaddox": Price represents value, and because value is not uniformly distributed (it being a subjective quantity), the price may f...

Russell's language rustles like freshly washed, starched and ironed ladies' summer dresses. Heidegger's language holds high the dagger upon which your...

avoid sentence structures with more than one predicate, especially if some of them mean nonsense, such as "what is the most effective way to write pos...

Yet, I still keep on worrying.

I think this would be more your problem than mine. Those who are wrong in an argument suffer, on the average, the same amount of pain stemming from un...

I guess I got lucky. I have had six implants and three bridges, and they feel natural, I don't even know they are there. Absolutely no pain other than...

Okay. Socrates and Aristotle were republicans, too. Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov, too. Knyaz Potemkin was a royalist. Alexndr Pushkin never pushed a kin of...

I hereby declare that my wish is not to be thought of as a republican or Republican. I'm rather... a repelican. I repel good taste, helpfulness, and g...

Sorry, orbital habitats are possible. I thought you were talking interplanetary rehabitation. By resources I took you meant minerals, oxygen, water, e...

It is my opinion, with all due respect, that you grossly, fatally underestimate the challenges that are presented to habiting space outside of Earth.

I must assert, with all due respect, that you don't understand the physics of transporting / sustaining human life outside of Earth. It is prohibitive...

easier said than done. There are no habitable spaces for humans in our solar system beside Earth. To get to the next solar system, with no guarantee o...

I don't quite agree with this. A man's pleasure ride in space cost him 25 million US dollars some ten years ago. If you are spending that much money (...

Megalomania?

Whether Hugo was a Republicant or a mutant or a leftist, is not my concern. He had a heart. That's what impresses me.

Hillsofgold, I loved your initial post. It was informed, smart, and logical. In my private opinion -- not to coerce or convince anyone else -- Buddhis...

Same thing as the Armageddon described by the two Yehova's Witnesses to me the other day. They also named famine, war, earthquakes and volcanic erupti...

The scientists who built and detonated the first nuclear bomb were in the same shoe. They had no clue what would happen if the bomb worked. Some opine...

Victor Hugo is mainly known in his own country as a poet. He poed poems. Internationally he gained fame with his novels. They were easier to translate...

Yeah...

That I don't contest that fusion reactors are possible ought to have been obvious to you, since you replied to my post in which I brought them up. Aga...

Wrong simile. The Internet WAS there. Fusion reaction that sustains itself and produces extra energy is NOT here. I don't contest that it's possible. ...

If you said "In 24 years and six months AI machines will produce enough food for 49 billion people" I would also call it silly. You put a precise and ...

I read the article you linked. I saw no date or time span predictions. Therefore as far as I can see, the 20-year prediction is yours. How do you do i...

How do people know the future? I have never been successful at it. @"Fishfry", what's the winning combination of Lotto 6/49 in five weeks? And who won...

I used that argument in the side issue of morality and only for that. I did not specifically meant to apply to this case. While you may have meant you...

Half my teef are falshe. I got implants in my old country, a one-time communist country. It's dirt cheap there, compared to the local prices where I r...

I never fought in my life. In grade 1 a big boy wanted to push me over, and I stepped to the side, and left my foot there, and he fell. He got up, cam...

Well, I guess you're right... society does not value logic as a means of being reasonable. Reason and high IQ is commonly attributed to poise, charm, ...

The choice is theirs to a point, but beyond a point the choice is no longer theirs.

One of my acquaintances in the eighties suggested that the Toronto housing crisis could be solved overnight by exploding neutron bombs in the city. Ne...

With bumps on the road, yes. Remember the cold fusion project that was declared a success one day, and the next, debunked? Back in the eighties or nin...

With regard to the topic: the Bible and the Koran both advocate producing children in abandon, without any restrictions. This has been for some myster...

This is in diametical opposition to Kant's Categorical Imperative. The CI of Kant is precisely what one should do must be acceptable to one if all did...

Please don't get a cow. In my entire life cascade-strength successes happened only and always when I kept my mouth shut. By not saying something in th...

This used to be precisely the case for me, too, until my mid- to late thirties, and it completely tapered off by 40. By forty, I refused to read almos...

No, sir, yesterday's reality being different from today's reality is still just one reality. If you need to work this out, I may not want to help you....

I still call myself atheist, as the current generally accepted meaning is "not a believer in god(s)". I think those who coined this word were in agree...

My baby keeps me amused. She has orifice.

You almost got it; the sad truth is that it had been predicated by events from prior to the Big Bang. In fact, if time and existence of matter in time...
