That was only one of the interpretations I provided. But the evangelization might not refer to other human beings but to all the creatures of the eart...
Highly misleading. This passage has been read allegorically since the early church as I recall. It can refer to the fruitfulness and multiplication of...
Yes, I was turned off by the price as well. I tried reading a little bit from his book and couldn't follow it very well either. He's a better speaker ...
Yeah, I tend to tune out when he gets into the Jung stuff, as I find that very muddled and smacking of the perennialism I have come to loathe. But he'...
That's fine, although I think that's straining the definition of birth. There ought to be a better word to describe coming into existence, especially ...
Alright, that's what I had in mind. I realize you can judge the morality of others who claim to be Christian, but I'm interested in whether one, as an...
But you couldn't know this unless you actually became a Christian. It could be that concern for the afterlife (salvation) is the best way to do good o...
I'm not an anti-natalist anymore in part because the argument from consent, which you present here, doesn't work. It's incoherent, as Agustino said, a...
Well said. It's ultimately an ideological war, but that said, I think destroying ISIS, supporting the benighted liberal democratic movement within the...
I am patriotic in that I support my country, referring to the government, people, laws, values, culture, and territory designated by the US. I think i...
You are, for one. Well, okay. I obviously agree with you.... I already made two posts on this claim. Keep up. I gave a very clear as well as nuanced a...
I see Western civilization in decline, which obviously includes the US, so I don't think it's going all that well, but it hasn't collapsed yet. And if...
According to the total number of incidents selectively collected by that one website, no. But I wasn't thinking in terms of numbers but in terms of th...
If you bitch, moan, complain, whine, and bloviate about the mendacity of one president or one party and pretend like the other side isn't guilty of th...
I find it shocking that people find it shocking that politicians lie. What is more, the people in this thread are quite selective in their shock. Obam...
No, I was as clear as I could be. And I fail to see how giving a "philosophical" answer to a question on a philosophy forum is anything out of the ord...
Maybe I'm not interested in rehashing it, but whatever.... What you quoted of me answers this very question.... I don't recall saying it was the great...
On the contrary, all I see is Hanover laying down the hammer. Incidentally, there's a new game coming out called Far Cry 5 set in Montana, whose ficti...
Why, do you? If not, then you have no grounds for judging whether he does. I myself don't claim to have a good grasp on such things. A decent grasp pe...
Well, like Heister, I think those stats are disingenuous to bring up. I've explained why elsewhere before. You can't compare unintended, potential acc...
It seems the Conservatives will remain the majority, but I think their losses to Labour serves them right. My impression is that they have been largel...
