Sure (in our context) that would speak to the ineffable ; one having a religious experience. That's correct. We don't understand things in themselves,...

Hello angry atheist! Sorry for the redundancy, were you able to understand Frank's belief in Agnosticism? Frank's Agnosticism can be summed-up in the ...
August 16, 2020 at 01:23
Correct me if I'm wrong, LEM/Bivalence does not apply to things like natural phenomena and Being. Dialectic (both/and v. either/or) reasoning made tha...

Really? Then why would a person intentionally daydream, crash and kill themselves, while driving? Surely that couldn't be the case. In other words, te...

Sure the intellectual component that comprises feelings of perception from memory is alive and well. Nevertheless, you can't separate the object from ...

What would give you that impression? I'm a Christian Existentialist and proud of it lol! I'm always up for a challenge what's the challenge?
August 15, 2020 at 13:56
That's funny Frank, 180 unknowingly, just acquiesced to agnosticism. Yet another irony for the atheist (like him).
August 15, 2020 at 12:41
I haven't studied enough of Hume to know the answer to this question, do you know what Hume said about logical necessity? The reason I ask is that I w...

I'm not following that: Definition- the degree of distinctness in outline of an object, image, or sound, especially of an image in a photograph or on ...

LOL! This is more fun than a barrel of monkeys!

Think of it this way, you're driving and not driving because whichever mind was involuntary causing you to daydream took over and caused you to crash ...
August 15, 2020 at 11:29
Nice! We would have to defer to text books or otherwise written communication/information which I'm not sure you're convinced represents any type of a...

Gnomon! Oh I see. Actually I'm not familiar with his views on Good and Evil. Where could I find that? What I was actually referring to, was his views ...
August 14, 2020 at 22:43
Great. So you take no exceptions that Jesus existed. Or did I misinterpret that? Okay.. So, how did they define it? It could be. But it's more than li...
August 14, 2020 at 21:46
Gosh Frank, they're getting unhinged. I kind of feel sorry for some of them, but hey, it's of their own doing. I think it's called volitional existenc...
August 14, 2020 at 19:50
Let's go through each of them one at a time (for simplicity I'll only include one philosopher since there are dozens more): 1. Ethics: Christian ethic...
August 14, 2020 at 19:25
Well, that's a huge question(s). I'll just give you one reason for you to ponder. I enjoy the Revelation that comes with it. As far as dogma, you woul...
August 14, 2020 at 18:57
I enjoy talking about the concept of God, don't you Tim? I mean, after all, its existence is posited in over 75% of Philosophy.
August 14, 2020 at 18:52
In Christianity Jesus was known to be part God and part man. That's what the history book tells us. Not sure what else to tell you there. Otherwise, a...
August 14, 2020 at 18:48
Don't be afraid of yourself Dingle. Just popping in to troll about doesn't really make your case, or does it? LOL
August 14, 2020 at 18:42
There may or may not have been a human being deserving of said label as George Washington. Analogous? God is posited in Metaphysics, Ethics, Epistemol...
August 14, 2020 at 18:40
Or: Theist: God's existence is a subjective truth. Atheist: God's non-existence is a subjective truth. Or a third option (among many other's) could be...
August 14, 2020 at 15:53
Nice! I like that. Metaphysical abstracts are alive and well! For example, the language of mathematics that describe (not explain) the cosmos is indee...
August 14, 2020 at 15:35
Yep, it also speaks to the concept of a Dipolar God (via physicist Paul Davies/The Mind of God). Cognitively though, it's definately worth mentioning ...
August 14, 2020 at 15:25
Answer: Vagueness, Bivalence, Gödel and Heisenberg. Frank doesn't want to talk to you anymore LOL https://st.hzcdn.com/simgs/2c31de980237d2da_4-6690/h...
August 14, 2020 at 15:10
Yep. There are alot of sore losers (atheists) here on the forum. An issue for cognitive science I know, but I think it has something to do with their ...
August 14, 2020 at 15:06
It appears you are searching for a straw man argument. What do you mean by circular?
August 14, 2020 at 15:03
Great analysis! I'll add into the possibility that we will never know if Jesus wrote anything down himself. Of course he could have, but the Pharisees...
August 14, 2020 at 15:02
Hello angry atheist! Frank's Agnosticism can be summed-up in the concept/principle of Bivalence/Vagueness: Consider the following statement in the cir...

It's referring to a specific thing previously mentioned, known, or understood. Typically, 'that' is a pronoun used to identify a specific person or th...
August 14, 2020 at 14:42
In Christianity Jesus existed. It's useless to those who lack understanding. So are you ignoring that over 75% of philosophicsl domain's posit God's e...
August 14, 2020 at 14:37
I don't know Frank, so far I haven't heard any persuasive arguments from any atheists on this site. I mean I've given them every opportunity to save-f...
August 13, 2020 at 23:49
Is the fact that over 75% of philosophical domains invoke God a non sequitur?
August 13, 2020 at 22:28
Do you have a point or are you just trolling? LOL
August 13, 2020 at 22:21
Oh, that's right you were the guy that intriduced ad hominem into my argument that over 75% of philosophical domains invoke God. Sorry for the redunda...
August 13, 2020 at 22:16
What's indeterminate about Jesus existing in history? I'm not following you... Is that basically another approach or version of hiding behind ad homin...
August 13, 2020 at 22:09
I voted Biden mainly as a protest vote to get dumper-trumper out of there (much like many moderate repubs did viz. Hilary). To this end, apparently th...
August 13, 2020 at 22:04
I can define God. God is that which designed a conscious being known as Jesus. I like mine better because it's more germane than yours : God is a mott...
August 13, 2020 at 21:19
As I said, I can only infer that the concept of God, having created consciousness, must have super-natural and transcendent capabilities or properties...
August 13, 2020 at 19:32
No one knows you yourself better than you yourself, right? So, how could someone else know the mind of someone else? What's your point? I can define G...
August 13, 2020 at 19:07
Yes, through inductive reasoning that appears to be the case. Nonetheless, as Frank alluded to earlier ( with atheist 180), only you yourself know you...
August 13, 2020 at 18:40
No not entirely. I'm saying God created consciousness through Jesus. How is it straw man?
August 13, 2020 at 18:06
Are you saying then that your conscious existence is also nonsensical? I don't get it...
August 13, 2020 at 17:28
Really? I said Jesus was part God and man as recorded in history. What's wrong with that?
August 13, 2020 at 17:26
Great question. Let's see, it's a mottled color of truth. Does that metaphor speak to it?
August 13, 2020 at 17:24
Nice!!! See that was easy. Next question!
August 13, 2020 at 17:21
Awesome. And of course, only you know you!!!! 180 must be doing either a spin on that one, or he's drinking his frustrations away LOL This is more fun...
August 13, 2020 at 17:19
Sorry, not following that one. In Christianity, it's Jesus. It was recording in history that Jesus was both God and man.
August 13, 2020 at 17:15
Oh okay. God is consciousness.
