I'd said; You replied: Goodness isn't a limitation for a God who is Goodness itself. My argument on this matter is this, which I said a few posts ago:...
Well, as I like to point out, the Eastern position is implied by Skepticism, the most parsimonious, the fully parsimonious, and therefore the most pla...
I'd said: I'll find where you said it and paste it into a post, with the date and page stated. You continued: So your God isn't really Goodness (excep...
From what I've read of the Eastern position, there isn't a bad Eternity, because people who have a some (or lots of) bad coming, don't reach Eternity ...
Ok, the Dualism that you're referring to is the absence of oneness with our surroundings. I guess Advaita is the perfect and pure Monism, because it s...
Google "The Council of Nicea", to read about what I'm talking about. No one even tries to deny, for example, that a significant number of books were r...
I'd said: You replied: Of course. We're the animal. As I was saying before, you're using Dualism with a different meaning. You're using it to mean the...
That Timelessness could be regarded as the more "natural" (in the sense of usual or ordinary) state of affairs, because of the (long duration) tempora...
At the end of lives (or at the end of this life, if you don't believe in reincarnation) you won't be aware of the world, a body, individuality, or ide...
"trueself;d1837"] That competitivenss, aggressivenss, is probably from our Chimpanzee ancestry. Fortunately we aren't all Primate. We have Pig ancestr...
In death, if the last stage near shutdown is reached, at the end of lives, the world (with its ugliness & "evil"), the body, identity, events and time...
As for Abraham & Isaac, you're saying that God ordered a murder, to test someone's obedience regarding violence and murder.. That doesn't sound like G...
It was described in a newspaper article. No, I don't believe newspapers to be reliable about everything, but there almost surely really was that confe...
You mentioned the Upanishads. I subscribe to Vedanta, and my metaphysics can be regarded as a version of Vedanta metaphysics, though it doesn't match ...
Paul was promoting a social-control-system religion, eventually officially codified at Nicea around 300 A.D. God didn't write the Bible. The Bible was...
There's no reason to believe in the reality of Dualism. You don't like possibility-worlds? My metaphysics based on possibility-worlds is completely pa...
I meant to answer one additional aspect of what you said: As you said, my life-experience possibility-story includes a lot of things other than me, an...
You wrote: . . Dualistic in the sense that there are all those things, and us, instead of Advaita’s single Fundamental Existent. . But, in Western phi...
Not only invisible, but it's completely unnecessary (and therefore unparsimonious) for explaining our experience. Real? So you imagine....and overacti...
There have been objections to my calling philosophical Dualists "Spiritualists" All right, I take it back. It's unfair to the Spiritualists. At least ...
Before I answer, a terminology comment: "Physicalism" is an unfortunate word, because of its two distinct meanings...a philosophy-of-mind meaning, and...
Undeniably there are some good individuals, and some really good individuals. Undeniably there's no hope at all for humanity as a whole. ...because of...
Ok, so "Thanatos" besmirched the name of a philosopher, in addition to a Greek word. :) By the way, the theory that he was banned is eminently plausib...
I guess explanation is only for physics and metaphysics. Toward God, the Principle of Good, the good-ness of what is, gratitude is all that's possible...
In your usage, "supernatural" is the same as "nonphysical", and so, for you then, "natural", must mean "physical" :D Newsflash: When someone said that...
John Harris is Thanatos Sand, right? Who else could sound so much like Thanatos Sand? I'd said: John/Thanatos says: Really? Here's a quote that I got ...
p.s. Disregard John Harris and Thanatos Sand. Evidently they're clones, or else one of them is a sockpuppet. Though I'm not really authorized to, I ap...
Does anyone really believe that God told Abraham to kill his son? ...or that God would order, condone and even assist Joshua's (alleged) massacres in ...
Suppose a child wants to play video-games. If he really wants to, his dad might allow him to. But who says that that dad will or should ensure that he...
Call it what you want. My answer is still valid. When I say that this philosophy-of-religion discussion is using a made-up term without a meaning ("ev...
I suggest that "evil" isn't well-defined. It isn't possible to discuss something without a good definition. It sounds to me as if you're re-ifying evi...
You may have noticed that Thanatos imagines himself to be the Defender-Of-Science. ...wanting to apply science outside of its legitimate range of appl...
So then you talk to your disembodied, distributed, Sheldrake morphogenic, holographic, quantum Mind-repository. Does it tell you what to say? I guess ...
The mysterious supernatural force is the one by which you believe that you act independently of your predispositions and surroundings. Michael Ossipof...
No. A simulation couldn't create a possibility world or possibility story such as ours. That's because they're already there, without a simulation. Al...
Trying again: You're right about philosophy of mind Physicalism, determinism, & no free will. But if you're a metaphysical Physicalist or Materialist,...
