Great question! I have many thoughts on the subject matter relative to cognitive science. But first let me ask, do you happen to have William James' b...
That's an excellent point. Generally speaking, exclusive of extremism and such, here in the states we are free to adopt and embrace Christian philosop...
People things about there was a lot of borrowing Westerly Greek philosophy too... . No I'm not. However that's an interesting thought. I think there m...
Thanks for the question. The phenomenon of Revelation can occur from a variety of sources and experiences. They range from the religious experience (W...
:up: Indeed. Another interpretation of his quote is that a normal healthy (exclusive of extremism, fundamentalism, etc.) 'religiously enlightened' per...
"Regardless of the genesis of that trope, it was endorsed as a virtuous ideal for most humans to embrace or live by for ages. Hence, another mistake b...
:up: He definitely said he wasn't an Atheist, that we know. He was known to embrace pantheism. He of course talked about, and tried to describe his ot...
Coolio!! I'll do a search to see if this subject matter has been covered and if not, I'll open up a thread on Albert!! Although he certainly was not p...
Another one bits the dust I see. Oh well, when you get the courage to make your case, I'll be waiting. BTW, I can't resist, are you ashamed that you g...
He was smart enough to appreciate the Harmony in the universe. On the other hand, he believed the fanatical atheist, using your interpretation, would ...
As you may know, that was a metaphor from Einstein's appreciation of the harmony found in the universe. Much like those who believe abstract mathemati...
Someone said he looks good in a speedo, but that's not my thing :joke: Sorry, I don't know what that means. You seem to be saying you and Daniel have ...
Depends on the context. Generally speaking, extremism is usually not good. Otherwise, would you say a fanatical atheist is similar to a religious extr...
Ahhem. You are the one who brought it up sir. Are you saying it is unreasonable to conclude you are arguing for atheism? I don't get it. Here's the qu...
Let me repeat third time: Do you want to defend Atheism based on cosmology, cognitive science (consciousness) , phenomenology, metaphysics, or... ? Le...
Because you said the forgoing, in that you would ' take reason/science based fanatic'; was it unreasonable to conclude you were an atheist? The short ...
Interesting question. The answer lies somewhere in your participation in this thread, right? Let's parse why an 'atheist hopes there is no God', meani...
Despite him not being a philosopher, probably much like you, he did not know consciousness itself transcends logic. However, his common sense observat...
Well, there's a lot to unpack there. Do you want to defend Atheism based on cosmology, cognitive science (consciousness) , phenomenology, metaphysics,...
Are you referring to Bayesian statistics and probability logic?? An Atheist. What's considered appropriate evidence? Jesus existed. Any positive state...
In our context, it means that for the Atheist, if he/she reasons that God does not exist (philosophical discourse) then he/she puts themselves in a pr...
Ahh...aaahhh...okay? Think of it this way, those of you who continue to insist God does not exist (which is false in the face of Christianity), should...
There's another example of your trolling threads, just to seemingly disparage people, and otherwise add more ad hominem. We can't help but wonder why ...
You will get an answer (one of many answers of course) to your question very shortly. Be patient. I'll give you a hint: the limbic system :grin: We wo...
Thanks! What method then would better capture your personal attack on people? Then after you answer that question, can you logically defend your belie...
There's another example of your trolling threads, just to seemingly disparage people, and otherwise add more ad hominem. We can't help but wonder why ...
Don't take this the wrong way, but are you resentful about something? Just an observation, you use a lot of ad hominem and other derogatory language w...
“The fanatical atheists are like slaves who are still feeling the weight of their chains which they have thrown off after hard struggle. They are crea...
Indeed. I've challenged many atheists on this site to start threads and they were all afraid to do so. I'm not sure why these discussions are so emoti...
Well said. A tell tale sign of cognitive behavioral dysfunction/therapy usually surrounds ad hominem. Meaning, when backed into a corner, you attack t...
Yes it is a belief system, we'll have to agree to disagree. Because logically you have to use reason to arrive at your conclusion. Hence, in logic, an...
Most Atheists are very unsophisticated in their thinking when it comes to justifying their belief system. For example, even their own conscious existe...
Sure. Like James' notion of our stream of consciousness. Which begs yet another question, if this energy cause, results in this cognitive behavior, do...
Extraordinary questions, I mean that! It speaks to part of the "value system" model from the OP. As such, I am going to monder this ( a monder is a cr...
Those are awesome questions Harry! I'll just start with a simple supposition regarding mental states. Time is just a human calibration of change. A te...
Hey Frank! Thanks for your contribution. Long time no talk, I hope all is well with you and yours! I think that's a great question. It reminds me of t...
Hence the paradox of time (several of many): https://youtu.be/vh-IW9Y1htA In your view, does that suggest a metaphysical component relative to our per...
Not sure I understand your question. But, consider the conscious, subconscious and unconscious mind working together. If one were to describe that phe...
Yep. Check out my profile I did one awhile back on that very same topic. We uncovered a lot of resentment, anger and other emotional deficiency kinds ...
