I feel like my case is strong. I've been very careful in my arguments against Christianity. Christianity has those four elements I've described that i...
Let me clarify this a little further. The Old Testament relates how the Jewish nation mass killed children and pregnant women of other nations because...
Is this supposed to mean something? No. I was asking if you have a problem with God telling people to try to kill innocent people, even their own fami...
That's not true. God supposedly can't tell someone to think, believe, or will something evil. So it wasn't evil for Abraham to walk up the mountain to...
It doesn't matter if an angel stopped it. God commanded Abraham to form the intention to kill, and he went up a mountain to do it. If God commands a C...
Christians usually put God's nature as the most prior within God. Nietzsche rightly asked where are God's victories then. We humans work and try to be...
I provided four examples of things which Christians, if they saw them in another religion, would consider Satanic. Since they are so close to their ow...
That is, philosophy can argue that the foundation is fundamental, or it can argue that the result is instead. Philosophy has a lot of perspectives. Re...
Infinity merges with finitude, from which potency flows into actuality. The world is contingent but not such that you need a Aristotelian ontology. Th...
"Figure is nothing else but determination, and determination is negation." Spinoza , Epistle 50 So maybe there is the fundamental necessity, and then ...
Augustine and that tradition say suffering is a privation of reality. Von Balthazar was a traditionalist who thought that all evil was substantial, bu...
It's the standard position that has never been proved, and has been questioned since William of Ockham and Descartes primarily. Nowadays we might say ...
You didn't provide a single argument in your post. This is because you can't prove a division in objects between "structure, purpose, organisation" an...
Reading the book "The Secret", talking to Satan though you don't believe in him, and being sexually perfect seem me like the right road to me. That's ...
Prove it. Demonstrate what matter even is The philosophy you are quoting says objects are formed from pure matter and form. My question is, why only o...
Youre just being an asshole because you think everyone should believe in Super-Daddy so you feel better about your karma. There are many angles of loo...
The Christian God isn't. Being Satan, he told Abraham to murder his innocent son. Satan also (allegedly) sacrificed his son Jesus in order to save a w...
What causes God? He explains himself? Why not the world? Why can't the world have all the reality it needs to exist? God's existence is easily disprov...
Heidegger spoke of death as a "possibility of being". So it's better to exist objectively, and it's subjectively better to exist if you have good karm...
The mental form we have when we think of nothingness is adequate for understanding the singularity, pure potentiality. It is its own causality and yes...
Judaism started as a violent religion but was subdued by greater cultural forces. It was Jesus's apostles who turned the religion Satanic. The New Tes...
For Hegel, otherness of something is being-for-another. When non-Ego presents itself, being-for-another becomes the self relation of being-in-itself. ...
"Being-there is being with a determinacy.. As reflected into itself in this it's determinacy, being-there is that which is there, something.. As a bei...
Plato thought our world was a shadow. Aristotle said no, there are definite discrete substances all about us. Hegel wrote that Plato was the first sci...
Heidegger talked of not following the "they". For the Nazis, the they became the world. Heidegger knew a struggling culture that obviously went the wr...
Banach tarski has immeasurable things form new objects. Are they saying they can take one object and only one object out of an object of the same size...
This thread is no longer about the OP. To me it sounds unreasonable to say a casual chain goes back forever and that this is it's explanation. If you ...
What if they prove that you can take a greater object from a smaller? How is that much different than B\T? To me B\T says that is nothing discrete in ...
The I'm not sure he published anything, but I'm under the impression his private writings have been out together in many volumes. I'm a book person an...
The substratum of what we see is beauty. We look with our right subjective mind and our left objective mind and conclude, with will, that it's objecti...
It seems to me that a point, a segment, and a plane are only connected logically, and it is the error of higher mathematics to connect them physically...
Hegel says we create patterns. "Space is abstract generality" "To speak of points of space, as if they constituted the positive element of space, is i...
Splitting up causality into four parts makes it difficult to question causality itself, which Nagarjuna did. Aristotle did the latter to avoid the que...
Take music as a perfect example. People at the Catholic college i went to insisted Mozart was objectively the greatest secular composer. People with t...
I think that patterns are like infinity and the finite, because we all use a subjective mind and an objective mind. A person who doesn't believe in su...
I think that what underlies everything is the pure potentiality of Infinity and Finitude. If you have a segment pi in length, then a piece of the segm...
