180 Proof

:up: Yes, there's really too many to name, but the objection stands with less than ten names.

Good luck with that "case". :sweat: I point out here https://thephilosophyforum.com/discussion/comment/542042 why Einstein is not an agnostic. Also, i...

Well, let's see ... other than the old adage (I can't source it at the moment) 'Epicurean during peace, Stoic during war', what do you make of these r...

One either (A) believes X no matter what is actually the case or (B) knows X is actually the case no matter what is believed about X; or is a compartm...

:up: It's all pretense. And yet so many are ... misguided.

:up:

Well, 'religiosity' is also highly hereditary, certainly in a sociological sense. The atavism I've mentioned is, I suspect, the quintessential driver ...

Maybe 'religiosity' is an atavistic, neurotic, reaction to the fear of contagion, particularly psychosis and (maybe) bad dreams, which parallels, or m...

However "subjective", traffic lights, rapturous encores, art galleries, fashion magazines, cookbooks & funny memes nonetheless show that 'qualia' also...

Platonism-Aristotleanism :point: reification fallacies abound (re: "transcendent" Forms, The Good, The One, Souls, Final Causes). Antidote (pharmakon)...

:up:

Okay, I'll drink to that. :up:

Yeah. That's what ideating means in my book.

Maybe you're too "pure like a freshly frozen rose petal", @"god must be atheist", to see me slap your blushing face with it.

Really? "Not much" in the way of studies on REM sleep, visualization (readiness activation), post traumatic stress disorder, suicidal / sexual / relig...

Art is a cipher for, or way of pointing to, the numinous there in the ordinary and mundane. (Thales, Laozi, Blake, Jaspers) From art we can learn to p...

Well, y'know, as a rodeo clown (gadfly provocateur), your thread topics :up: (Btw, just dropped "The White Album" ... Paul's drumming on Dear Prudence...

In sum: real(ity) ineluctable resistance – much much more than being "solid" (e.g. liquids, gases & photons are real, no?) – in so far as the real rad...

I can't answer no matter how many times you repeat this strawman. :roll: That's as silly as asking 'What does music consist of?' 'What does breathing ...

:up:

Are there sufficient grounds to doubt that everything exists? If yes, then state what such grounds might be. If no, then it doesn't matter whether or ...

Follow my links to be edified and forget the initial ridicule. Once you're edified by me the ridicule will sting again and edify you even more. Or not...

Use the forum quote function at your disposal like everyone else and post the incriminating evidence, Zippy. :sweat:

Violent assault is pretty much identical to dislike. :eyes: :roll:

That's only a link, Zippy, not a quote supporting your lies. (Gfy with a wire-brush.)

Quote me in context in order to substantiate your claims, Zippy, or go fuck off till you have something constructive enough to say worth a reply.

Nowhere in my post do I even once mention "white people". Wtf are you talking about, Zippy? Brain tumor got you hearing voices :sweat:

I wish pinheads like you, Zippy, would learn to differentiate between prejudice and racism: "I dislike them" and in-group (& members of any out-group)...

Yeah, folks – white, black & brown – who believe JC was Anglo Saxon-looking instead of Palestinian-looking.

Okay. :roll: @"Tom Storm" & @"baker" are empirically right. Suit yourself. :up: Mircea Eliade and Karen Armstrong are definitely worth reading (even r...

Okay then. You have a good one too.

I'd sketched the following (in quotes) after reading the OP and before the first reply, but didn't post because I've been caught up with a few other t...

The difference between making arguments of my own and tediously digging up arguments from philosophical history for someone else should be obvious. Be...

Not worth more discussion to me considering I find the "Cogito" vacuous. Cop-out? Not intentionally. But it's easy for you to find out for yourself, f...

:up: I'm a New Yorker (by way of Cali, DC, Minnesota & Arizona) who has lived in the "dirty south" from 1997-2002 and 2015-present. "Hotlanta" is the ...

A = A is "indubitable" too. Vacuous and, therefore, useless as such. Also, besides, "the Cogito" was basically laughed out of court philosophically by...

Again, what you "acknowledge" is mistaken, a strawman of your own presumption. I've not "recanted or revised" anything, merely corrected you. How do y...

When I was a teen I never discussed my questioning of religion, or my apostasy, with family or even my closest friends. And not long after, bringing u...

That's why "The Cogito" has always been useless. Nothing more doubtful than the lack of doubt (except in logic and mathematics). I've always preferred...

Go troll yourself.

If Black folks were oppressing Whites the way (e.g.) Israelis oppress Palestinians, hell yeah I'd support the White folks, and, if the Klan is their t...

White folks are still in control of everything in the US which matters to the welfare of people & communities of color. The "KKK" (et al) are agents, ...

I've mentioned that quite a few times already on the forum (to you, in fact, too) describing my teen apostasy, so I'm not sure many will be surprised....

I recall during high school, in a discussion with a priest after Mass in which I had just performed my altarboy duties, being told that "faith reveals...

Gotcha! You're all ... sound and fury, signifying nothing.

Refute the man if you can. It's only one guy's opinion – how hard could that be? :smirk:

Ah, I see, you're another new member of the local chapter of the Dunning-Kruger Club for Head-Smugly-Up-One's-Own-Arse, Pontificating, Sages. Welcome,...
