Re: Christian Civilization -- The Central Issue
Discovered, perceived, realized are better terms. Then the sentence makes good sense. Correction: Discovered is the wrong word, since to be so it must first exist discovered or not, independent of your existence. Perceived relates to the mind's inner content as well as reflecting what is outwardly ...

Re: Christian Civilization -- The Central Issue
Still it is my belief that a higher intelligence (though this usage might offend or seem haughty) can and does conceive of and note the realness of what I am referring to as *supernatural* to nature. ...the upshot and conclusion of that would be, it defaults to your opinion only. There is no such t...

Metaphysical authority is real — realness itself. To align with it is a choice of higher intelligence.
Metaphysics demands we keep the physics waiting.

Re: Christian Civilization -- The Central Issue
…. I do often sort of admire your vain clucking. The butt-plug is helping after all! The butt-plug kid speaks again! As a perfectionist in stupidity, it won't be long before accomplishing SINGULARITY. A slight arc more to close the circle and you will have reached your apotheosis! Congrats! :lol: :...

Re: Deleted 500
Anything that recurs, first must occur. - The first occurance of something is the creation of that something, not the recurrance of that something. - After the occurance happens the first time, then for reality to correlate with the concept of eternal, recurrence would continue on without end. Yes!...

Re: Christian Civilization -- The Central Issue
...a really stupid expression which means nothing, showing that you don't know what to say except know-it-all distortions by which you have always presumed to know me and others, and the cloned views you get from reading without thinking. That much is obvious.

Re: Christian Civilization -- The Central Issue
I think you could do better than merely spouting negatives -- bickering I call it. But as they say "You do you". What you call bickering, I call negating stupid ideas. Here's one: you claim you would vote for Trump as a chaos agent ; isn't there enough of it in the world already that you ...

Re: Christian Civilization -- The Central Issue
If that were true, that would make two of us. No my friend -- and trust me on this one -- it really leaves you there by yourself.

Re: Deleted 500
Eternal Recurrence is simply an idea we invented. In Nietzsche's version, it was used mostly as a challenge in how much do you love your life if you were informed that it will repeat forever. Recurrence implies a beginning, so eternal recurrance implies a beginning but no ending, which explains the...

You continually make that comparison (to IC), as if it is a devastating armament. You are both dead ends, that's what you have in common. You, Dubious, have no idea whatever about what is true or not true. If that were true, that would make two of us. The main difference is, whereas you are merely ...

Re: Christian Civilization -- The Central Issue
This is all falsely-premised. Things true in the past, and things true now or in the future, are not superseded by this boyish novelty. You seem stoned on yourself. ...and what was true in the past for at least 1600 years - and not over yet - that the bible was the word of god; that Jesus died for ...

Re: Christian Civilization -- The Central Issue
If morality, for example, is not an absolute rule a universal rule, or not created by an absolutist god, then it must be absolutely nothing, absolute nonsense, a human fabrication. Values are not without value simply because a universal rule doesn't mandate it; that was never the function of a univ...
