But your personal use of God goes against the standard definition of a monotheistic God, as that God would be omnipotent and eternal. What you are des...

You just supported its existence by writing on it and successfully communicating on it to me. Thanks.
July 13, 2017 at 04:05
Well, Christianity addressed this paradox by presenting a Trinitarian God who is simultaneously incomplete human imperfection (Christ) and complete, o...

And as with the other thread, I won't bother to read or respond to any more of your posts.
July 13, 2017 at 02:18
Yes, and the failure to engage is yours. I won't even bother to help your critical "thinking" and language "skills."
July 13, 2017 at 02:18
And you failed to address or represent what that side of the conjunction said. And thanks for supporting and confirming what I said about the inadequa...
July 13, 2017 at 01:59
This was my whole, and very clear quote. If you took that from it, you didn't read it very well:
July 13, 2017 at 01:44
They don't all work that way, and I'm new to this forum. But I checked back and, no, I don't agree with you.
July 13, 2017 at 01:24
No, they will only be "locked in the car" within the structures and confines of the English language; that will not be their actual physical state. An...
July 13, 2017 at 01:22
I sure don't see it. Feel free to repost which post of yours with which I supposedly agreed.
July 13, 2017 at 01:14
Possibly. Since you've done many posts I haven't seen, and you didn't list which one with which I agreed.
July 13, 2017 at 01:10
Thanks for confirming everything I said in the post to which you responded.
July 13, 2017 at 00:57
LOL. You accuse me of introducing a definition then you, yourself, introduce a definition with no more basis in physical reality or the English langua...
July 12, 2017 at 23:40
It's not observation. It's imposition of a human concept onto an object that never had that concept as an essential attribute. And, as I mentioned bef...

And the shape of the moon wasn't "round" until humans called it that. And since the moon isn't a smooth-edged orb, it's not actually "round." So, you'...
July 12, 2017 at 22:54
No, round is a human concept to which the moon didn't apply before we existed and doesn't even fit many human concepts of round as it isn't a smooth-c...
July 12, 2017 at 22:38
Actually, the moon Is round is observer dependent since it will only seem round to those seeing it from a particular part of the earth, and "round" is...
July 12, 2017 at 22:17
A primary, fundamentally existent material reality Is not a "brute-fact," as a brute-fact is something that cannot be explained and a primary, fundame...
July 12, 2017 at 22:00
Who said there's no stuff? And he certainly didn't show I had a brute fact.
July 12, 2017 at 21:06
Again you post blather when you ask me to be specific when you've given no specificity, and when you ask me to be specific in unnecessarily proving a ...
July 12, 2017 at 20:58
That was a bunch of blather that again misrepresented my views and didn't address them at all. And your referring to a "topic" you wrote doesn't const...
July 12, 2017 at 20:21
I wrote mine after he wrote his; I thought I'd return the courtesy.
July 12, 2017 at 19:49
I agree with that.
July 12, 2017 at 18:18
Absolutely, as Godel showed long ago, which is why I said Math was more successful in representing indisputability, but still is vulnerable to the dyn...
July 12, 2017 at 18:08
Nothing you say in your "counter" to my quote above it counters or even effectively addresses what I said at all. I never made a physicalist belief; I...
July 12, 2017 at 18:06
Except all facts are presented in language, which is always a social context. Some facts, particularly those presented in the language of Math, are mo...
July 12, 2017 at 17:38
Ontology of the universe as facts is a problem since facts are our views of the material reality of the universe, not the truths of the Universe itsel...
July 12, 2017 at 05:36
You said it was best not to "feed" me, and yet you can't even follow your own advice. Adorable.
July 12, 2017 at 04:52
Facts are observer-dependent as long as we are a society of observers. Since facts for us are usually our human contextualization of physical realitie...
July 12, 2017 at 04:31
I have no idea what Banno said, but I'm amazed at how you Brock trolls are simply unable to conceive of progressives like myself not buying into your ...
July 12, 2017 at 04:29
No, it wasn't and you clearly can't show it was as you have failed twice to do so. So, the only garbled nonsense is what you call "thought" running th...
July 12, 2017 at 02:03
That was a nothing comeback that didn't address anything I said. Feel free to do so at any time. Until you do, I'm happy to let my post stand.
July 12, 2017 at 01:58
I'm not Pro-Trump. But you corrected me on assuming your position was Putin had tampered with the election, which would be silly if you thought he had...
July 12, 2017 at 01:41
Oh, so you agree Putin didn't tamper with the election. Very smart of you.
July 12, 2017 at 01:27
Yeah, I would agree with that. She's also a warmonger who helped kill hundreds of thousands with her Iraq War vote, and tens of thousands more with he...
July 12, 2017 at 00:08
But feel free to go ahead and show any proof of Putin actually tampering with the election. We both know you can't.
July 11, 2017 at 23:31
If it's not obvious to you that you haven't shown any of Trump's duplicity and only Trump Jr's apparently harmless duplicity, then your judgment is at...
July 11, 2017 at 23:30
Of course she was spouting accusations since she didn't check to see if that story was true. All she had to do was check the New York Times who printe...
July 11, 2017 at 23:22
No, if something is logical, it is (ideally) considered logic; right has nothing to do with it. It's why it could be logical to murder a human being t...
July 11, 2017 at 22:36
Also right and wrong very often have nothing to do with logic and vice versa.
July 11, 2017 at 17:08
Even if you believe a system of actual unchanging logic exists, no logical decision can make all synchronous or past or future diachronous logical dec...
July 11, 2017 at 17:08
It's been about 9 months since HIllary spouted her accusations about 17 agencies agreeing that Russia hacked the election. Since then we've seen no ev...
July 10, 2017 at 14:12
But it isn't just representational. It's also, if not primarily, generative, as it continually refers back to itself and its components
July 10, 2017 at 08:31
As Saussure well-pointed out, language is representational to other parts of itself. It's why a tree refers to the words "a big brown plant with leave...
