Good morning, are you awake now? A Pavlovian conditioned response? Look at all the posts on free will and determinism over the last few years. Is that all there is to philosophy? I am not well read in philosophy but I did thumb through Hegel. Philosophy[ is more tan debate and logic, there...

If you do not hear Arthur it means you are not one of the chosen. Cats are picky.

Muslim cutre as well. A Muslim I knew, Iranian immigrant, wasm part of a small hrpip who pooed yer mony and looked for people in need. The group was not rich, regular working people. The man Sikh temple in India feeds thousands daily. A Sikh temple in Seattle opens its door once a week. A...

A example would be philosophy threads on the forum. Depp rabbit holes. The flip side would be what in philosophy leads yo0 somewhere?

I don't think it takes a PHD in psychology. We have a culture of hyper violence with guns which is a large part of entertainment, incurring video games. Movies with guns and a sound track linking guns with male sexuality and power. Coupled with a massive political and entertainment media...

I tend to,agree on your post on Christianity. One interpretation of Jesus is obviously anti materialistic living. Prpare yourself spiritually for te afterlife. Easier for a camel to pass through the Eye Of The Needle than a rich man getting into heaven. In James In contrast the new...

Sorry, I did not think you had a sense of humor.

Jaryn Is there any difference between saying 'I see no evidence for a any god so I do not believe in any god' and 'I know factually there are no gods' ? A theist interprets reality and sees a god, an at5eist interprets reality and sees no god. Are either perspective factual? I do not think...

Not all philosophy is useless. Normal science? What a laugh. More useless philosophy that impacts nothing. Like a theist quoting scripture he quotes philosophy aka secular scripture on science without any clue what science is and how it is done. The calculus is the basic language of science...

To the Christians YAHWEH says what right and wrong are. As YAHWEH is the one and only all powerful god what he says goes. YAHWEH can say what the rules are. After all he catered humans ..... From puberty to death god made us to be in heat 24/7, but says fornication is a no no. It would have...
