You are correct. Unlike you, I am aware that there is an intricate debate here. Your claim is that I should have either confessed that Jesus existed o...

We don't think of knowledge as something privileged, we think of it as something either given through genetics or something that is the result of will...

But some people have it and others don't. We cannot be indifferent to this. Yes, my friend, this is the point. To figure out a way to expand knowledge...

Ram, Michael is trying to reason with you but you are evading his discourse. It is obvious that you're afraid to answer his questions, and this is dis...

I didn't expect that. :lol: :lol: :rofl: Ouch. :rofl: :rofl: Well done.

How does a person come to possess knowledge? Is it a matter of will power? I agree with this, and it is implied by my post.

Two points of order are required here. Quoting you: "And the context provided by your OP suggested you hadn’t thought about the matter with sufficient...

Dang. He didn't last long. So much for Objective Morality Apologetic Technique 101.

Don't you think we first need to establish as to whether or not such a thing even exists? My argument, again, is based on the fact that educated peopl...

Yes, I said it was impossible based on an Absolute definition. As soon as you define what you mean by Objective Morality you will see why you are able...

I will try this one more time. The question above was a reference to my slave analogy. The point is that you would be abstracting about freedom, as yo...

See my first post in this thread. Now to prove it. What do you mean by Objective Morality?

What about Banno's argument, are you going to get to it?

I think you mean, you're not going to step into the arena with a person who can call you out on your nonsense. Like all good apologists you prey on th...

Let me get this straight, you just cited the term "revealed truth" and now you want to change it and debate another term? Can you not see why this app...

The argument I was referencing belonged to Banno. In none of the post you quoted was I making an argument.

Where did you go, you said there was such a thing as "revealed truth?" I want to know how you know this?

And all the while you were busy asking would there have been free people at this time in the world?

Quoting you, "It's self-evident what is harmful to our kind (and living things like, or nearly like, us such as mammals) and what we need when harmed;...

You mean they do exist? How do you know this?

There is no such thing.

I have no interest in evading my burden of proof. I am not trying to play a posture game. I just want to seek out truth, my motivation is not to be ri...

No, because the term Objective is a loaded term. When you ask a religious person what they mean by this term it becomes immediately clear that they ar...

Friend, you have already been utterly refuted by Banno. This is not just an opinion, it's a fact. It's why you didn't answer his valid questions.

The American people are going to stand back and watch as authoritarianism shatters what's left of their democracy. There is not enough education in Am...

Your position, in order to qualify as a refutation of my position, must in no way validate the existence of quality educated persons. If these people ...

You are now engaged in Ad Hominems. Please answer my questions.

I am not interested in engaging this, I would just like to make a point about Left intellectuals. This is an incredibly ignorant statement that should...

"that may or may not have existed." I have made the same mistake. Just try reading more carefully next time. The reason I said, "may or may not have e...

Friend, I'm super disappointed. You are a total obscurantist and sophist. This is proven by the fact that in your last reply you 1) evaded my question...

You did not answer my questions. You accused me and challenged me to justify my claim. As I already said, 'I am talking about the concrete possession ...

There is too much sophistry in your reply. You did not answer my question: 'How can you say the essence of a thing "does not abide in the thing," and ...

It's shows how messed up humans are, that the idea of Jesus rising from the dead is actually considered a real event in history, because it is asserte...

A healthy human is not just one who is physically healthy but one that is psychologically mature, to simplify it, not driven by defense mechanism or i...

This exchange has to be narrowed to get anywhere. Is there no such thing as a quality educated person? Is your criticism then an example of something ...

My family is all Native American. No lie here, my grandfather was a full blooded warrior. You want to talk about property and rights?

This is not only desperation but blind stubbornness. You did not answer Banno's questions, you did not even engage his argument, which amounts to the ...

Communism is not an ideology. One cannot force it to come about, if Marx is correct the contradictions of capitalism will lead to it. More to the poin...

There is too much for me to reply to in your response. This seems quite important: I'm not exactly sure what you mean by this? The first time this ide...

No this is not all "very idealistic" but very materialistic, just the opposite, it is the result of thinking about reality from the basis of its most ...

Hegel did not negate Aristotle, he merely showed his thinking was 1) a violation of itself and 2) incomplete. That ought to be enough to compel you in...

Happiness is not the sole marker of psychological health. One can learn to be happy being oppressed. Talking about what comprises a healthy human does...

Totally fascinating reply, an excellent synopsis and outline of Peirce's thinking. Thank you for taking the time to articulate.

There is another way out of this, just let your beliefs about the topic alter. That's the value of other minds. It's pretty clear you have been refute...

No, you are complaining about government, an immigrant is seeking life in a new domain of government.

What a swift refutation. :lol: :up:

The real irony here, my friend, is that this fella is a beneficiary of government, and more importantly, he is not going to walk away from it any time...

A genius at faulty arguments. :lol: So accurate. Idealism will do that to a person.

Am I the only one who finds this to be incoherent? I really did try to understand it, see if I could draw something from it, but then we have stuff li...

— substantivalism has engaged with you at length. It is not just my mere opinion that you change the topic, this can be verified. As for our exchange,...
