Not convinced? Seems that folk here are solving a problem they have yet to specify. Oh, well.

Yet that's the main synthesis, isn't it? The idea of the value of a negative dialectic? That you felt some need for such a term might be an indication...

Don't Lois's beliefs belong rather to Lois? Superman can fly. Lois believes that.

Atheism is a very different thing to analytic method. It is surprising to me that this needs mention. There are whole worlds between theism and atheis...

The wurst case is a colon.

There's something there about wurst being encased in colon... Can't quite...

Like I care. Edited, just for you.
August 09, 2025 at 01:55
Ok.

Should that be: A President, a Liar, a Traitor, a Felon, a Pedophile, and an Imbecile walk into a Bar?

Well, seems to me that if you are unsure that she believes what you suggested, we can't proceed. If we are going to get somewhere we may need to focus...
August 09, 2025 at 01:22
You stipulated that she does. I trust you. If you now want to bring that in to doubt, go ahead, but I don't much see the point in doing so.
August 09, 2025 at 01:14
Why introduce "god's eye view"? If you and I agree that Superman can fly, why should we concern ourselves with god's opinion on the topic? Seems out o...
August 09, 2025 at 01:08
Not sure here. "Superman is Clark Kent" is a straight forward identity - one may be substituted for the other. Superman can fly, hence Kent can fly. "...

No, but it might be all that can be said.

All fair, except that in this discussion we might want to keep the wound open rather than heal it - it might help us (me?) to see the value in what Ad...

Referential opacity occurs between contexts. Indeed, it can be considered part of what defines a context. Getting the scope right clears up the mess.

Number 1.5, Divine Life Streams, in the Stanford General Catalogue of Variations on the Trinity?
August 08, 2025 at 21:55
Perhaps; perhaps. seems to think the wounds worth keeping open. I wonder if that's why he commits to these fora. I'll again make explicit that I agree...

Dogs are servile and neurotic. I'm more a cat person. Cats live in our houses despite not having been domesticated - their only concession being to ma...

Glad you liked it. Contrary to protestations and resentment from many, that's what Philosophy is.

Intriguing how apt today's Frank and Earnest comic was... on multiple levels. Divine intervention?

August 08, 2025 at 01:55
Pretty much. The reasoning used in the simple theology hereabouts is low-hanging fruit for an analytic approach. It's the little word puzzles that are...

5.1 in the Stanford General Catalogue of Variations on the Trinity?
August 07, 2025 at 10:45
Indeed.

Maybe pasta? https://lareiras.gal/es/recipe/sopa-de-cocido/

From the recipes I can see on line, yes, but also beef, mutton and chicken. The image provided looks to be more rice, with milk, and quite different t...
August 07, 2025 at 10:11
Looks good. A bit like good old chicken broth? Looks a good deal heartier. Thanks!

I'm nursing a head cold, so supping lemon tea. Juice of a whole lemon, and a spoon of Beachworth Buckwheat honey. Extraordinary stuff, the honey, almo...
August 07, 2025 at 06:52
No, I didn't. The only connection is the one you and Tim make. I'm just asking for a coherent account of the Trinity. So we are back to where you inte...
August 07, 2025 at 04:38
And so the use of analogically argument in order to understand God is fundamentally flawed? Ok. So deductive logic doesn't work because of the failure...
August 07, 2025 at 04:18
An interesting euphemism...
August 07, 2025 at 04:14
I understand that, Leon. You missed the point, again. The creed doesn't help us make sense of you and Tim, of itself. We need the Thomism as well.
August 07, 2025 at 04:10
Yeah, the Creed doesn't help much unless you also take on board the whole Thomistic metaphysics of essence and personhood and so on. But ask what an e...
August 07, 2025 at 03:41
There it is...! I'm off to do some shopping. Cheers.
August 07, 2025 at 02:11
They would take her at face value, which might be quite amusing. I think the challenge to reconsider would be missed.
August 07, 2025 at 02:03
Cheers. The elephant is too heavy for your lap.
August 07, 2025 at 01:57
For those with an interest in background stuff, the diagram, which Leon says is most certainly not a representation the Trinity, can be found in the W...
August 07, 2025 at 01:56
So tell us what your account is! This is just becoming sad, Leon.
August 07, 2025 at 01:42
The bit where you attack me instead of addressing the issue. Again. :roll: For Tim, the answer seemed to be both that we had to understand the account...
August 07, 2025 at 01:27
Again, I do not want to attack Catholic Dogma. I want a coherent account of the Trinity. But that you see my doing so as an attack speaks loudly to th...
August 07, 2025 at 01:03
Thanks for that. Presumably, I can now proceed to present any number of accounts of the Trinity, and for each, you will say "that's not it, Dumbass!" ...
August 07, 2025 at 00:45
Ok, so set out what is Trinitarian dogma, and explain to @"Wayfarer", who offered the diagram, why it is inadequate. Put up.
August 07, 2025 at 00:36
, the diagram shows clearly the denial of transitivity. It's that denial, not the diagram, that is at issue. Again, that you see this as an attack is ...
August 07, 2025 at 00:31
Now you quote yourself! Not your most noble habit. If pointing to the consequences of your doctrine is, for you, an attack, that's about you, not me. ...
