...and yet there it is.

No, I quit like Soul. Blues, too.

,,,and yet there it is.

...!

Yep.

Of course god is unknowable. Nothing worthwhile can be said about the ineffable. Sorta goes with the territory. But if we are to follow this to it's c...

Why should I answer that? What is the point to this discussion? Here's my thesis, a myth rather than an argument: Folk noticed that breathing was abse...

How? You want reasons?You want to express the inexpressible. It's either obvious, or not. Either way, silence is the only reasonable response.

That's your convention. Why should we adopt it? But the topic is contested use. So your response is useless.

That's just a very poor choice of word. A Doctrine, creed, dogma... the implication of explicit rules. It's pretty much exactly wrong to suggest that ...

Ownership is conventional. When folk disagree as to the conventions in play, there can be no final arbiter.

Predictable, that reactionary attacks on the person are the mainstay of those who feel their gender identity threatened.

That's a bit selective. Isn't it "God does not reveal himself in the world"? I'd also question the notion hat Witti had an "ethical Doctrine"; pretty ...

Well, no. You've framed the issue in an absurd way. Just go read some actual biological texts, and try to understand the topic before you expound on i...

Indeed, Indeed. No wonder you don't wish to address them. I think I've accompanied you far enough up your garden path for this evening. Cheers.

Well, it would imply that moral statements were not truth apt... and it seems that they are truth apt. Hence, there is something amiss with his accoun...

I have said as much, previously, and in other threads. What of it? I've said the OP is interesting because the answer is not obvious.

This is not so far from what I said here: https://thephilosophyforum.com/discussion/comment/537565

I disagree with what Wittgenstein says there.

No; when I say breath, I mean breath.

Evolution.

Sure. Do you have a point?

Repeating your mistake does not help your case.

DO you have the popcorn?

Ok, you go for it. Dirt particles settle in a fluid how they want to. If that's what you need in order to make your philosophy work, you are too far u...

Put some dirt in a jar. of water. Shake it. The smaller particles will move to the top, the larger to the bottom. The particles move in a "...demonstr...

Why?

It wasn't a joke.

Why is this simple fact about evolution so difficult for some folk? It's as if, given that the Irish Lottery is decided at random, MadFool were to con...

"The breath of our times"... works for me. "Spirit" is breath taken as metaphor then... re-reified... so as to produce myth.

Yes, etymology provides a feast for understanding the way concepts move and change over time. Check out https://www.etymonline.com/search?q=ghost ...w...

Do you? Why? I don't understand the need to categorise and name - doing philosophy as if it were entomology. It's as if one reached a conclusion and o...

Life has to have a goal? Like it was a bloody football game? Madness.

Excluding the question...? Yes, the question was excluded because interrogatives are not truth-apt. SO we'd get something like my satiny lying is wron...

Have you been peeking at the SEP article? I really do not have an answer here. In that regard it is an ongoing issues. I'm very disinclined to say out...

I've merely been responding to what you wrote. Whether you are in favour or against religion is of no relevance. was your supposed answer to my "What ...

Nice. I'd add something about the role of language...

Yep.

An inexpressible truth? A lived truth can be stated. As can a truth that you feel in your bones. We will need to be clear about what is true, and how ...

Yep; now it seems to me that ...is quite acceptable. What I'd reject is the notion that truth is in all cases determined by correspondence. Hence, the...

I baulk at having a different sort of truth for science than for religion. Truth is truth. The you that awakes forma coma has the very same body as th...

Yeah. I've no time for this. Hume did not hold that morality proceeded from god. End of discussion.

It's an interesting topic. "...the thing that makes it true." I'm not sure that in the case of a moral statements, there is such a thing... But that's...

https://davidhume.org/texts/t/3/1/1 T 3.1.1.27, SBN 469-70. Odd, that you cited it, but can't check the context.

I suggest you look up the whole of the quote you cite.
