You have done more than enough for 3017amen. :grin: It's clear he just continues to change the subject. I have met some intelligent people on this For...

It can indeed become a blindness, ideological. It seems a bit too one sided and suspect simply to claim that all the tyranny in the world proceeds fro...
There are some from my own school of thought who could call this exchange "a fruitless endeavor," but I do not agree with this, and this is why: it is...
You mean you're special because your upbringing didn't impair your cognitive abilities and everyone else should just be like you? This is emotive thin...
Read up on the burden of proof. You introduce the term you have the obligation to define it. All that has taken place here is juvenile evasion on your...
If you want to talk about the existence of Snarks you must explain what you mean by the term, the same is true of God. Your controversial term is not ...
Yes, I agree with much of what you said here, but even this category is not absolute enough to sustain itself. Conversations need to be had regarding ...
The terms in most need of clarification in this sentence are "objective reasoning" and "God." If you want to avoid asking a loaded question then you m...
You have offered up tough-minded and reasoned replies. I have nothing but respect for this. It leaves me with much to consider. I will indeed reply, a...
Yes. "Generally, your entire response is based on either (1) ignoring the definition of right-wing that I gave, quoted above, or (2) implicitly holdin...
I am well aware of this theistic game, it is one of radical skepticism, and that is why I will hold you to it. The burden of proof here belongs to you...
Of course there's a problem here. Some people are severely depressed when they make this decision, but it is indeed hard to argue that we have the rig...
Is it really so orderly after all? There is new evidence that the so-called laws of physics aren't even constant throughout the universe. You're part ...
This is nonsense. You might as well try to bring Zeus into the picture, Jesus has nothing to do with what you are talking about, and you are here atte...
I was just conversing on this in another thread not too long ago, I don't remember it going in the direction of the mathematical supernaturalists. The...
No so my friend. I was not advancing an apologetic, I was citing a simplification of reasons to establish government. I don't have a problem with thos...
Most excellent question here, and the real point is that capitalist culture only asks this question from the basis of the profit motive. Instrumentali...
I admit there is some truth to this, I consciously have chosen to approach a person like yourself with your dogma, from a different perspective. It's ...
Every society in the world contradicts this principle. Would you then try to enforce this principle on the societies of the world? Why do humans form ...

""Right wing" is thus importantly ideological, i.e., it's not just about methods of governance." I do not agree with this. Hard to see how political i...
If by this you mean for theoretical purposes then I can understand it. I do not believe I am equivocating here but it seems you are going back and for...
This exchange started when you made the following claim: "Actually Plato provides a much more useful dialect than Hegel. After reading Plato and Arist...
This has to be one of the most enlightened documents EVER written: "The right to a self-determined death is not limited to situations defined by exter...
There would be no point according to your egoism, that would assume something could be gained from it, but how can an ego be great if it is not comple...
What on earth? So people are going to start forging papers to get people to go through a process of suicide in an attempt to murder them? I mean, come...
Life is too short, one cannot go down the rabbit hole with every sophist, one can try to rationally thump them or to make a public spectacle, but it i...
There is no disagreement between us here. Well, one is, as a matter of fact, not "just modeling," correct? There are empirical considerations. The pro...
What makes the supernatural, religious dichotomy, which you have admitted is just a technique, an actual alternative? One can produce all the models t...
This is very close to an argument from ignorance. Further, it is a mere assertion, you are simply demanding that you have the right to invent transcen...
There is something else that must be said here to clarify the context of what's going on. Where you have the upper intellectual hand against your oppo...
Your ad hominem is but another desperate attempt at evasion. Strange you will not tell the truth here. I am indeed an atheist. But you know the moment...
