It's what the universe resides in and from which it comes. You don't believe anything is discrete?

If Christians are to unite and try to force secularists to be nominal Christians, what are they going to do to people who think their particular Chris...

The only thing that is completely discrete: nothingness

Nothing, but a universal Christianity is IMPOSSIBLE because they will be divided on that issue

Let's get this straight. You guys are saying Pope Francis is strong to oppose the old teaching about burning heretics but weak in not opposing Islam. ...

It's just a material object. How it is understood is How is used, depending on culture

Heidegger specifically spoke of relativity. Being Kantian, time does not have parts. SO would inauthentic time be Newton's and authentic be Kant's? I ...

I'm not going to pretend to be Jesus's spouse to please you

You don't believe in God but you think the most important man in the world is Pope Francis? Just clarifying

On exurge dominae: read the 33rd proposition that is condemned. If you are for a religion that officially sanctions one of the worst forms of torture ...

No I only realize that none of those religions are provable, so I believe whatever I want to believe (in the sense of "belief"). I don't contradict tr...
