I don't use them because i haven't been kicked off of this one yet but here is one: https://onlinephilosophyclub.com/forums/

You need to stop picking on people smaller than you. Find another forum where you have some competition. :)

I believe to have a quality relationship with anyone, some individuals will have to find practical ways to make that relationship last as long as poss...

Noah Harrari (book: "Sapiens") would probably say that ownership is a concept developed by animals (as opposed to plants) that helped early animals tr...

I feel separating philosophy form systems analysis and design is intellectual suicide. I'll read Davidson's article later. At this point i would say i...

I can't go into great detail because of forum rules. I don't feel this binary view of heaven and hell is Biblical in the strictest sense. If for some ...

Thanks for this OP. I'll read it later. This OP is a breath of fresh air.

I've heard of the historian Josephus. I've never heard of the prophet Joseph. Ofcourse there is Joseph from the book of Genesis. Do you read the Kabba...

Considering many modern banks (as opposed to Banks that were around 4000 years ago) originated during Medieval times, i truly do wander if the Catholi...

Certain minorities are more likely to be turned down for jobs in America. I agree with that. I'm sure that happens in some other countries. I couldn't...

I don't have a problem with most of what you said. I would like to point out that automation has caused many jobs to disappear. Believe it or not auto...

I agree that "Once Saved Always Saved". Since my assumption is that you are a christian i can't be accused of Evangelizing. 1st Corinthians chapter 3 ...

I agree, but during the middle ages they did have monasteries which many poor families sent their children too. Many of the problems we have today are...

land is scarce just as money is scarce (high school term "scarcity"). To embrace fiscal conservatism, the issue of subsidizing corn production must be...

I agree with that mostly except that money can be manipulated much easier then land, resources and services. However it is even possible to manipulate...

Many conservatives would justify getting rid of food stamps. If that became the reality then we would also have to address the corn subsidies.

I agree. I think if people understood that money is a legal fiction (Noah Harrari) they would be less angry over the issue of welfare.

"We should go back in time to answer the question of why corn became subsidized by the government. Like any other crop, corn has good years and bad ye...

we have welfare. Considering corn production or agriculture is subsidized by the federal government and to some extent land is a scarcity (just as mon...

The puritans were calvinist and initially they embraced communism or what at their time was equivalent to first century christianity (prior to Marx). ...

I believe if Christians embraced practical ways of making their neighbor's lives easier it would be very hard to tell whether a given society was fisc...

i agree.

Calculating the circumference of a circle to that extent is impossible because of the geometric limitations of a circle. A circle is essentially an id...

Why have a philosophy forum without religion? If i did the same thing in reverse i can guarantee you the OP would be taken down.

i vote to end all discussions on post modernism. But i won't get what i want. I feel this post by the OP is trolling.

thats fair. Pencils do in fact exist.

thats fair

boredom is my first guess. The common theological notion put forth is for the creator's glory. i think the Bible allows for the christian to have doub...

why would you think i disagree with that? Did i ever claim i can predict the future? I can promise you i'm nothing like my supposed creator. At this p...

Hypothetically, if simplicity evolves into complexity then humans could produce something more complicated then themselves. Thats what my logic circui...

The Jews probably don't hold to these premises either.

this premise you put forth isn't a main topic of theology in the Christian church. I would be surprised if some denomination did not believe this but ...

i would argue to be completely predictable does not mean something does not have a will of its own but maybe i'm not thinking about it the right way.

i guess you could say the creator creates a blue print (dna) and puts it under stress conditions to test the result. The actions we take our a product...

Noah Harrari in "Sapiens" addresses this issue. I'm open to the concept you put forth.

i understand completely why you would say that. On the first part of your post, i would argue both new born babys and even bacteria as well as animals...

Yeah as to the rest of what you said, that is for the most part true. I guess the point i'm making is that the human brain is like a billiards table o...

How is a new born baby's movement primitive or should i say what do you mean by that? I'm sure you would agree the new born baby feels pain as well as...

it can move its arms, make noises but its decisions to change the world are extremely limited. It does have free will its just its ability make an imp...

Basically our free will has no more depth than a new born infant. I'm not sure i could say otherwise.

Paul said that if the christian is wrong about his/her beliefs that they are the lowest of all people. I don't believe a christian has to 100% sure of...

its hard to call something that is completely predictable to have free will. I do understand that. I don't however at this point in my life believe th...

Scientific determinism is a concept that arose in the early 1800s partly due to Newton's work. As i stated to someone else i see the universe as giant...

i see the universe as a really big pool table or billiards table. I believe our dna plays a part in our actions and also our environment plays a part ...

yeah, i'm hoping our predictability is taken into account by my christian god. Just as Paul had his doubts about his faith, so do many of us.

How is this not a troll post. If i posted something like this i guarantee it would be removed.

i believe the exact opposite. You are my Joker to my Batman.

I feel the same about this post. Have an open mind.

its possible.
