"Oh yeah, and he cheated on his wives too!" Oh so you finally realized/discovered that did you?

"I'm exactly the same as you. If I find out something like that about a thinker, I'm much less tempted to investigate deeper what s/he said. If it cou...

Maybe I am wrong but perphaps willowofdarkeness is indirectly answering to Agustino's other thread where he made the point that human weakness is a go...

Your arguments dont seem more solid than the those made by a logical positivist. Why do you assert that your reason is infallible and can interpret th...

One last thing you can ponder on in silence: Let us say that the burglur actually kills your wife. Perhaps you werent there. Will you hate him, perhap...
August 09, 2017 at 21:40
Your Will to power really makes you insist on having the last Word doesnt it? "Quite the opposite, there is something about loving my wife and having ...
August 09, 2017 at 21:34
So you once again havent understood the spirit behind the words about loving you enemies etc? Well... I say this for the last time: The discussion is ...
August 09, 2017 at 21:28
Havent you read the Sermon on the Mount? Or even Paul when he tells Christians not to repay evil with evil and hate? The dishonest thing is that you p...

"For I have the right to hate him because he's advocating immorality" I choke! I choke! A ressentimental hater in the house! Please! Fresh air! Hypocr...
August 09, 2017 at 21:21
Because you call yourself Christian and blame me because I oppose things in the bible. And you also debate for this methaphysical morality where God w...
August 09, 2017 at 21:20
Good, and if enlightened means what you claim; then I dont want that. I wonder who of us is right about the Words of Christ though. Regarding Nietzsch...
August 09, 2017 at 21:13
"Of course I will hate the burglar - that's why I'd cut his head off and save my wife!" You are not enlightened. You are not Christian. You dont love ...

What is it in that post where I Change my mind? :S you know what, this is pointless. We cant keep on wasting time like this. Let us either choose a di...
August 09, 2017 at 21:05
So you decide what discussion we have? I say that we have completely different motives here. To me, the most important question is: Why christianity a...
August 09, 2017 at 21:03
Will you Hate the burglar or feel compassion?
August 09, 2017 at 21:01
"That's not what you said the first time. So what happened, did you change your mind, or?" What time?

I agree about Kim Jong Un. But I am 100000 percent sure that Trump will not solve the problems But cause more. If an evil Force tries to destroy an ev...
August 09, 2017 at 21:00
Well Paul was once again a great Comfort for the Nazis . But sure, you are correct that the argument might be said to be childish.
August 09, 2017 at 20:57
The matter is about the internal movements once again that causes one to act in a specific way. You really believe that Trump and his insane advisor w...

August 09, 2017 at 20:26
Examples? You keep answering what fits you But avoid other things. How can one discuss like this? And what is our goal with discussing? My goal is to ...
August 09, 2017 at 20:22
I Think Btw that you avoided to answer basically three posts in a row that I wrote. Nay more! Wow... Nietzsche proves himself to be right when I obser...
August 09, 2017 at 20:15
None of those things are particulary meaningful to answer, you take them out of context. Neither did you answer all my posts. Anyway if you insist on ...
August 09, 2017 at 20:13
well what is the point with our discussion to start with?

Nietzsche was mostly right about christianity. His critique has nothing to do about the "Living God", but about christianity as an established religio...

I would also add that except the controversial statement in the epistle to the Hebrews about Jesus being the same today, yesterday and forever, it see...
August 09, 2017 at 14:17
I would also love to hear your arguments about Why christianity is true and the only way to salvation rather than the other religions. Preferably anot...

You see, one of my points is that it is not working to defend God morally from a human perspective, because for one thing, slave minds and selfish Peo...

Why must I like the idea? What rational person who, if christianity were true, would go to hell according to their dogmas, would like the idea? If he ...
August 08, 2017 at 20:59
I see! Do you like Steiner?
August 08, 2017 at 20:54
Those are what I criticize, and your God I dont know

August 08, 2017 at 20:46
Once again you take an irrational leap. Let us keep the distinctions. You said it is one thing to criticize God and another to criticize theology. I o...
