All sounds good. All sorts. I don't remember them on the top of my head. I recall a bad experience: I let it slip to a religious person that I don't b...

My ability to defend against arguments for theism. Any argument for theism, or creationism for that matter, is an indirect attack on atheism. Not nece...

Can someone please shut this Bishop?! God speaks to me every day, you immoral lying piece of garbage. Also, I now need a new chess set because all my ...

Take English classes. And avoid taking classes on goblin language.

When Heidegger was thrown into the world, I think he must have hit head. There, fixed it.

I believe you got that idea from Heidegger. Link. :grin:

In my opinion, there are three components “to dealing with it": the agony of having the problem, the cost of dealing with that problem, and the satisf...

If you do a google search "What to do when someone is suicidal", you will find websites that tell you what to do. Is that helpful to you? It seems lik...

Why do you ask? Do you know someone specifically who wants to commit suicide? If so, providing the suicide prevention telephone number seems like the ...

Actions speak louder than words. If someone says they love you, you know they love when they act that way. Likewise, if someone says that a particular...

Never heard of them. But if it’s true that they said the same thing, how were they wrong? There would have to be an instance when the population went ...

Delete.

That’s how it is now, but it won’t go on like this indefinitely. When the population overreaches its capacity, there’s going to be much more deaths.

Those factors you mentioned that reduce human populations are still significant. Natural predators are replaced by human predators in the form of warf...

I remember learning a brief introduction to ecology in college. There are factors that will limit the population growth, such as lack of food, lack of...

Obsessive. Not if it isn't interesting. No, and that's why I don't expect to learn anything from you. :razz:

It seems like you're trying real hard to find these "good minds". For someone who posted this topic on the GameFAQs forum, you must be really desperat...

He hasn't only trolled that site. I googled his last topic: "Do logic and reason say that God is our servant?" (verbatim search). I found like twenty ...

Is Gnostic Christian Bishop a coward? Why does he fear to get out of his mother's apartment? (Just a joke, no offense Bishop.)

Yeah, that's a problem. If god is all powerful, he can do anything. But how can a non-physical god do physical things?

All actions are physical, and god is non-physical. So he can't do anything. Which means he can't show himself.

Does it really? I think a gambler only get's his dose of satisfaction when he wins, which happens rarely. He's not exactly raking in good feelings. Hi...

I think it's a matter of degree in that an addiction is much more stronger than a hobby. A person with a hobby is drawn to an activity, while a person...

Investigations on the causes of suicide are empirical issues. It's hard to see how it wouldn't involve any science. I don't see why you can't find soc...

Here's what I think: People who commit suicide are like anyone else trying to avoid negative experiences. The only difference is how desperate the per...

That's interesting because there are addicts who won't stop their compulsive behavior until they are forced to. For example, a compulsive gambler will...

I'm not sure what you mean. It seems obvious that I should do those things that do me the most good, all the while being considerate of other people. ...

I do have mental illnesses: depression, anxiety, and perhaps ADHD (psychiatrist asked me if I got evaluated), and that may well be the cause of my lac...

There is no bar set because there's no theoretical limit to the amount of suffering a person can experience. It's all about tolerating risk. Is it wor...

The description that you concurs with mine? Sure, why not?

I call that being human. If you consciously consider every feeling you possess when choosing an action, it would drive you crazy. Only the most domina...

I agree that one feeling can come into focus where other feelings go to the back of the mind. I'm not convinced that the original feeling, however, ge...

I don't think you are considering everything. Just because a child is born with defects, she's not doomed to a miserable life. Parents can provide pro...

I would love to be a reader. If I could, I'd spend most of my time reading. The problem is my mind doesn't seem to want to stay put. I'm very distract...

I think agree with your view, although there's a huge cost (literally) letting neo-nazis marching down streets and shouting hatred. Tax-payers are lef...

Do you ever get the feeling that most people don't take you seriously? :cry:

How about situational antinatalism? If you live in a third world country where poverty and misery is rampant, and you and your spouse have crippling h...

I believe that moral statements can be emotive or cognitive, and it's all about speaker meaning. Some people say moral statements purely on emotions, ...

Depends. For example, on the philosophy forum, which is a privately owned forum, no. If a neo-nazi is in his own home, he can say whatever he wants, a...

There's so many ways to answer this question. To be honest, I don't know the best way to answer it. I don't think you care about the atoms in my body ...

I’ll see you in hell then. And you can tell me what it’s like to be on the receiving end of a shot gun.

Actually Ward Weaver was sentenced to life for killing Ashley Pond. Stay away.

I was busy with the police. I had to give them evidence of a murderous psychopath on the philosophy forum named S. It took a long time because of the ...

It seems like you’ve locked your brain in there too.

Confucious say, "Man who lost his job being a moderator, is in need of moderation."

With those skills you can start riots.

Indeed. Maybe I should be banned for being Wallow's sockpuppet.

Gotcha.

That's only the mods. Disagreeing with an administrator is a crime punishable by burning at the stake. It's lucky that as a Pond I'm immune to fire. A...

No fun allowed.
