I am not sure what you are asking. Can you rephrase.

The faithful say its revelation, and they believe it's true. I don't doubt their belief, do you?

Doesn't our experience of what is apparent, leads us, with the assistance of others, to normatively construct a coherent world for ourselves, the worl...

Religion reveals truths which make substantive contributions to the lives of the faithful. Philosophy makes no substantive contribution to what we kno...

Historically few philosophers died for their beliefs.

Human normative behavior is objectively present wherever man is. Of course, contexts can vary significantly from one society to the next, in this rela...

I don't disagree with what you have said, there is a lot more to life than logic/reason (this is easy to say, hard to convince), I suspect if his trac...

Hi, I am an agnostic, and I don't think the god has being. What does it mean to talk about that which is not. It may be said, but what is said means l...

A thing that can be discussed, described, that judgements can be made about the thing based on what's known.

We seem to be talking a bit past each other here. I am suggesting that "Rational Theist" is a contradiction in terms because I don't think that the Th...

No, I think it is very relevant. If the concept can't be rationally circumscribed, you can use all the rational arguments at your disposal...to my way...

His concepts are rational, their result don't prove god. How can god be demonstrated in any reasoned argument? My contention is the term 'rational the...

Sure I like his arguments, and the rational discussion that follows since in many ways I think the concept of god outlines the boundaries of human kno...

I like Lucretius’ Symmetry Argument against the Fear of Death which was derived from Epicurus Deprivation argument.

You've got a definitive, rational proof for god? Put it up.

The idea is to win more delegates given an equal playing field, not one rigged behind the scenes, which is what happened.

Not the way politics works, favors beget favors. If HRC made pres, Schultz would have had a nice position in HRC's administration.

Debbie Wasserman Schultz was HRC's surrogate, & she still is.

No, I have no idea who would have won if it had been a fair contest by the time they got to the convention there was little that could be done.

The DNC subverted the procedure, for getting delegates to favor Clinton.

Well, they do seem to be contradictory terms...reason versus magical thinking to put it in rationalistic terms.

Yes, she stacked the DNC against Bernie Sanders in an attempt to sabotage Bernie's campaign. When this became public Debbie Wasserman Schultz resigned...

At least Trump won fairly. HRC cheated to win her nomination.

That's no argument. We all have beliefs that we may not be able to justify. I am saying in principal god can't be justified on a rational basis, god i...

I think many successful politicians tend to have psychopathic personalities traits with superficial charm, a grandiose notion of self-worth, the need ...

I don't think the belief in god can be rationally justified. You got one?

There are two types of people. Those with a loaded gun, and those that dig, you dig? https://youtu.be/g6tR78d0cmA "The Triple Duel".

Do you think a painting is like a syllogism, a judgement by taste? premise: Matter premise: Form The aesthetic effect is the conclusion.

Hi, no I don't think so, but I'll think about it. TS probable has a ready answer.

So by sensation, we become aware of what is apparent, what is sensed, which we attempt to fit into our conception of what is in the world. The straigh...

I don't understand that statement. Can you explain.

So then are you saying facts are propositions. Propositions that describe states of affairs. They are not, at least ostensively judgements, just state...
