This is all caused by the existence of gender. Sex shouldn't matter and gender shouldn't exist. There was this one person in some tv show that said so...

That's a possibility, or then hell is a state of mind, ie/eg the conscience and feeling quilty. Morality might have a value that is independent from G...

If democracy is not positive, there is a contradiction in asking how good it is.
August 21, 2017 at 09:46
So which ones are? Or are none?
August 20, 2017 at 21:20
Are they not?
August 20, 2017 at 20:38
It's a decimal number because I didn't write the parenthesis. Anyway, where X is a property and A is the object with no proof of having that property,...

True, learning languages for example (including one's first language) is much about memorization and the basic knowledge of all subjects must be memor...
August 20, 2017 at 14:38
Well, taking that as an assumption we are talking of a potentially hypothetical situation. We might as well assume that democracy is worth killing eve...

Afaik the american education puts a heavy emphasis on memorization and learning the subject being taught instead of understanding and applying that in...

Yet in nordic countries for example, which have highly ranked education systems, they use these very same methods. The content and methods of educatio...

It does, assuming you mean the argument that God can't be indescribable.
August 19, 2017 at 15:27
I'm not saying he is, just that if he was his indescribability would not lead to any contradictions.
August 19, 2017 at 11:03
His indescribability is a property of human language, not of God.

But who gives a fuck about the United States, other than as a potential threat now that we are under specific circumstances?
August 18, 2017 at 17:15
Knowing infinity and knowing an infinite amount of things are two completely different things. O can't know infinity as a number but infinity can logi...

It doesn't answer my question - at least I assume (and hope) your comment was a reply to my last comment of p1 and not the one on p2.
August 16, 2017 at 17:41
You can't change how you perceive something (except our thoughts - changing the thought obviously changes one's perception of it). One distinction I t...
August 16, 2017 at 12:34
You seem to take this as a premise. I want logical reasoning to back up this claim.
August 16, 2017 at 09:40
I disagree about sexual orientation. Asexuality and pansexuality at least exist. Whether attraction towards trans people is a sexual orientation or a ...
August 16, 2017 at 06:56
So sex is defined and we all agree but gender is trickier. Gender is a social construct of gender (sex) identity. Gender identity means identifying as...

I should've worded that better. Definitions of some specific gods include omnipotence, but I haven't heard any general definition for gods or deities ...
August 16, 2017 at 04:30
I know it's not but it sounds like one.
August 15, 2017 at 20:19
Sounds conspiracy-ish, over thought and baseless. The people behind that movement are intelligent enough to neither come up with such an agenda nor to...

Nothing funnier than destroying arguments with unexpected answers to rhetorical questions, don't you think? I believe in square circles. Besides, even...
August 15, 2017 at 19:47
That's what I pointed out in my next comment. The reason I first argued against TheMadFool, then Michael and then TheMadFool, reaching the same conclu...
August 15, 2017 at 19:26
The mistake in the reasoning is that for all things T there is a group of things K (K1, K2, ...) which includes the properties of T. There is such O t...

Either neither exists; or O exists and the possibility of U disproves it; or U exists and the possibility of O contradicts itself.
August 15, 2017 at 19:20
That is the answer it will give and it does not disprove omniscience. I fail to see your argument with that point. Is it that because infinity is a co...
August 15, 2017 at 19:17
Firstly, gods. Not Gods. With a capital G it's a name, which is the name of Christian god. Secondly, no definition of god I've ever heard includes omn...

as always you aren't even trying to understand the other side.

Depends. Is it a potato?

More accurately, the one who leaves after admitting the other person isn't wrong.
August 15, 2017 at 12:26
A being with absolute and infinite kowledge. That is, it knows absolutely everything, even if that means an infinite number of things.
August 15, 2017 at 12:17
That's why I said if.
August 15, 2017 at 11:29
There is difference between good and bad. Just not in their treatment or consequences. There is no contradiction betwden 1 and 2. What? How? Why? Is t...
August 15, 2017 at 10:02
Because you define it that way. O can know infinite amount of information and everything because that is its definition.
August 15, 2017 at 10:00
No, see:

... interesting. We are not allowed to say something is morally more wrong than nazis because then nazism is more acceptable than that?

Interesting. You know those things that make you think, "if I was a conspiracy theorist, this'd be suspicious"?
August 15, 2017 at 08:33
Two omnipotent beings contradict each other's omnipotence, this is true. But not all gods are omnipotent. Another solution: there are different levels...
August 15, 2017 at 08:23
So how much does O know? It knows everything, and the amount of information is infinite.

Noice.

I don't think so. If God is good he forgives. Doesn't mean you go there for not believing. Even if the reasoning was correct, only bad people would go...

Fortunately not, this site has an excellent moderation.
August 15, 2017 at 07:39
O and U contradict each other, so one doesn't exist. Why not U? O has infinite knowledge, it's a part of its definition. Does it even have to check to...
August 15, 2017 at 06:41
According to some.
