That's what you incorrectly say. The definitions of profound and profundity assign much more to it than novel correlation, your personal but erroneous...

No, I'm not. I'm working from the established definition. We do have to do that in these discussions. So, it goes beyond just mental correlations.
July 18, 2017 at 03:17
If souls have bodies and their bodies have parts and cannot be a part of ourselves, what are they, how and why do they exist, and what are their conne...
July 18, 2017 at 02:43
Acutally they're not. Firstly, problems faced are not passed down genetically; knowledge can't be isolated or transferred that simply. And Punctuated ...
July 18, 2017 at 01:54
Of course they are since they are a possible alternative to how one got to their current life. And you did talk about one's current life So, the only ...
July 17, 2017 at 18:42
No, a relevant dynamic to your proposed topic is not a different topic. But move on with your topic. I well-addressed it and will let my relevant stat...
July 17, 2017 at 18:32
No, as you can see, you said "What is the origin, cause, or reason for your current life?" and I addressed that with a statement that bears on the top...
July 17, 2017 at 18:23
Its also a matter of asking yourself is the origin, cause, or reason for your current life something spiritual, or is it just the result of many physi...
July 17, 2017 at 18:13
I'm sure you're aware you need to specify which Christians and/or which Medieval theologians. Actually, the model of original sin and even predestinat...
July 17, 2017 at 18:11
You did say there's no omnibenevolent God, and you don't know that. And Buddhism isn't a more coherent theory than Christianity as far as solving the ...
July 17, 2017 at 17:56
Peace out back to you; I appreciate the clarification....:)
July 17, 2017 at 16:05
What I said was in perfect English.
July 17, 2017 at 15:57
Help me out, then. Do you want to discuss the soul or do you want to discuss it's history? And if yes to the latter, do you think anyone on this site ...
July 17, 2017 at 15:52
Wouldn't you? If you think Dante has the monopoly on defining the soul, you have severely limited your education.
July 17, 2017 at 15:49
My statement wasn't about, nor addressing, how people understood the soul; it was about what would be needed for the soul to exist. I'm not surprised ...
July 17, 2017 at 15:46
No, the only bs comment is yours, as you are literally trying and failing to disprove mine through a fictional story. Hilarious.
July 17, 2017 at 15:44
Yes, and that's a work of fiction.
July 17, 2017 at 15:35
WaPo also committed fake news throughout the 2016 election when they made continual hit pieces on Bernie Sanders, including a false claim that his fol...
July 17, 2017 at 15:30
Thank you for proving my point. Editors notes are not full retractions and are rarely ever seen since they are placed after most people have and will ...
July 17, 2017 at 15:28
No offense taken, but those aren't my words either. Here they are; I welcome you're addressing them if you wish.:
July 17, 2017 at 15:10
I agree there's pressure, but Bezos and others have agendas, so their mistakes also come from the propaganda they spread from their agendas. They publ...
July 17, 2017 at 15:05
The Washington Post should know about fake news as they wrongly reported that Russia hacked a Vermont power grid and wrote an unfounded story that Lef...
July 17, 2017 at 14:09
I never said souls are parts of us living in parallel universes. That's a strawman counterproductive to any discourse on the matter. And what this "st...
July 17, 2017 at 13:52
There are two main problems with this. One, you don't know there is no omnibenevolent God. Secondly, evil is not just bad deeds catching up with someo...
July 17, 2017 at 13:49
Firstly, it's good we have come to some agreement; that is always value in itself. However, there are two problems with your seeing contemplation as m...
July 17, 2017 at 13:06
It makes perfect sense, Creative. Mental correlation is the mere attaching objects to other objects such as the snake seeing a rat and correlating it ...
July 17, 2017 at 03:45
No, all thought/belief consists of contemplation and conception of mental correlations drawn between objects of physiological sensory perception and/o...
July 17, 2017 at 03:17
I could define what I mean by it, too.
July 17, 2017 at 03:07
We reconcile the difference by defining what you mean by human thought. As of now you equate it with animal thought. I, on the other hand, see similar...
July 17, 2017 at 03:07
All thought and belief, not reflexive cognitive reaction, is informed by and shaped in language. There is no pre-linguistic thought/belief that is tru...
July 17, 2017 at 02:55
No, it was long because it was long. Unlike my post, it made no answers. Ending our discussion, however, is a smart idea. Ciao.
July 17, 2017 at 01:04
Michael, This is a statement of fact and not an insult. That was a long rambling rant that failed to counter any of my points and was barely coherent....
July 17, 2017 at 00:43
Souls by their nature would act outside of space/time since the rules of space/time clearly don't apply to them. They neither move through time, nor e...
July 16, 2017 at 23:31
Lol, I don't just believe; I know. I think it's cute you don't even follow your own advice for happiness. Ciao.
July 16, 2017 at 22:07
Yeah, right. I think you should go back and look at what you wrote about the perils of self-delusion.
July 16, 2017 at 22:04
And you were clearly responding to this post: when you wrote this:
July 16, 2017 at 21:57
Actually, you responded to more, but at least we now know you were the first to respond.
July 16, 2017 at 21:54
I did. This was my post to which you responded:
July 16, 2017 at 21:50
No, you replied to me, so you were in no place to set conditions. So, you did strawman me.
July 16, 2017 at 21:49
So, you can't show you know what makes everyone happy. We both knew that. Stop strawmanning me. I never said anything about anyone hiding from anyone....
July 16, 2017 at 21:20
You have no idea what makes other people happy, and if your statement was correct, you couldn't even judge what makes you happy. Also wicked and good ...
July 16, 2017 at 20:28
And I showed the problem with that thinking in this post:
July 16, 2017 at 19:44
You're predicating conjecture on conjecture. Samsara and Karma do not explain away the problem of evil and you haven't shown they have. I would sincer...
July 16, 2017 at 19:42
Except we know they don't. Many horrid people who do terrible things die happy with everything they want, while many excellent people endure great suf...
July 16, 2017 at 19:25
I didn't name-call. I said you posted blather, which isn't calling you a name. And you are the one who wasn't specific at all. So, you're just being h...
July 16, 2017 at 17:21
But it still doesn't make sense since you have people suffering for what someone else did years, maybe millennia ago. And none of us are replete with ...
July 16, 2017 at 17:17
No, it is the correct way to frame it. And you said "nothing more to discuss" two tweets ago.
July 16, 2017 at 13:27
If you haven't observed that the rules of the universe-like the ones I mentioned-don't change, then there is clearly nothing more to say. You don't un...
July 16, 2017 at 13:22
Yes at all since you haven't and can't show memory is the fabric of the universe. You can't even show what memory is physically made up of at all. And...
July 16, 2017 at 13:20
Yes, way more since it isn't backed by Physics at all. The fact memory exists doesn't mean it is the fabric of the universe and it is not. Feel free t...
