Oh dear, yet another white person that does not know what white privilege is, nor the benefits of acquiring such knowledge. So many people equate priv...
Freedom of speech has been rather shamelessly invoked as a means to exonerate otherwise completely unacceptable behaviour. If one's speech is used as ...
Hmm. That strikes me as rather odd. On the one hand, you point out that "things" are much more specific(and rightly so, by the way) than the term impl...
There's a curious thing about both implication and entailment, but that's another topic in it's own right. When we talk about particular circumstances...
I use "things" and not "objects" for good reason. I reject the subject/object dichotomy/framework as well as a few other inherently inadequate, but no...
Indeed. Cannot stand that guy. He is not a sincere person. Very dishonest, in a lies of omission sort of way. He should be impeached for openly admitt...
Yep. McConnell made the case clearly. He padded what may seem to be a contradiction(because of his vote of acquittal) by virtue of explaining that the...
...drawing correlations between that something(whatever it is) and something else; roughly always between different things. Sometimes, it could be bet...
The question makes little to no sense on my view. Not all things that exist are meaningful. Some causal and spatiotemporal relationships exist in thei...
In the States at least... All it takes to become successful and financially secure(rich, if you like) is hard work, saving your money, and obeying the...
I don't believe in domains. Not too sure I'm rightly called an analytic philosopher either, so... The pinto bean is the focus. Specifically, faith as ...
I don't talk in terms of things being meaningful in their entirety. Existing is not equivalent to being meaningful. I think I agree with the gist of w...
I didn't look that closely. Just quickly saw that your suggestion would have improved his positions and took you at your word that that stage was a go...
Having an effect/affect. A necessary precondition of becoming meaningful and/or becoming part of a causal and/or spatiotemporal relation. That looks l...
I have a feeling that I'm somewhere in between the two of you in terms of talent or knowledge at or of the game of chess. I'll watch, though. You two ...
Perhaps faith is a self-imposed inability to admit that one's own belief(s) are, or could be, mistaken. A consciously chosen refusal to believe or eve...
Those who believe they've been persecuted, perhaps, will believe that there will come a day of reckoning, when the persecution stops? In today's moder...
This is a good question. That's the role faith plays. The reasoning away... That's a psychological question. I would say that there's much more to lea...
Use them then. By all means... Quote these scholars on faith in the sense we're discussing here. The term is also used as a synonym to a belief system...
Let's just say that I'm uniquely qualified to assess faith. I've seen it up close and personal. I've lived in it's immediate presence. I've watched it...
You think that this somehow contradicts what counts as faith? What's lost, shaken, or regained? When it is lost or shaken, is it unshakable? No. If on...
It presupposes the existence of Zeus. It shows the role of authority throughout history as it pertains to religious belief. It shows that religious be...
I'm not saying that all religious belief is held with unshakable conviction. Indeed, one point of the paper is to draw and maintain a distinction betw...
That's not what I said. Faith is unshakable conviction that some claim or another(many usually) is true. True believers have it. All of them. That goe...
