If your opinion is proof then you're right, it's irrefutable.

Re: Christian Civilization -- The Central Issue
They [the mass] may have •been around• but in no sense with the power and reach “they” have now. To disregard that fact would be a mistake. That's true, good in one way; not so good in another. But much worse were the prior periods when power was concentrated in the few of whom so many were incompe...

Re: Heaven and hell are not just "illusory"
Except for the very fact that the definition for the 'multiverse' word has already been taken by the 'Universe' word. Maybe you would like to re-consider this, again. Why delve into 'theories' when the actual irrefutable Truth is already HERE, for all to 'look at' and 'see'? Is there a difference b...

Re: Christian Civilization -- The Central Issue
What Ortega understood is that the nineteenth century created the kind of human being who would become the dominant social force in the twentieth century—and thus that there is no way back to the aristocratic style of politics that dominated history for millennia. Mass man, fortified by an array of...

Re: Christian Civilization -- The Central Issue
I realize that what I propose here does not seem adequate enough for many. But I say again that when I encounter people with ideas like Newman, and I realize that the issue -- of conversion and of alignment with an entire structure that is *ours* and of course with metaphysical authority -- is one ...

Re: the death of OJ...
Since when hasn't that been true in all history that the wealthy and famous can get away with acts that individuals not so endowed would never be exculpated from. The last few decades in the US have seen a countertrend. To some degree there has been, over the longer haul, an evening out. It never g...

Re: Heaven and hell are not just "illusory"
you are an absolute idiot if you want to continue to believe that there is such a thing as 'our universe' and/ or 'other universes'. You may want to reconsider that statement, since there is nothing in all the laws of physics nor anything in logic that would preempt a multiverse from existing. Exce...

Re: the death of OJ...
The projection comes from those who negate its reality. No one could, or should, negate the projections of those who are drawn to Trump. But I think you negate the fact that •Trump• must be seen as a social and national phenomenon. He is just a man, and a strange one indeed, and yet he charged onto...

Re: the death of OJ...
The questions remains, what have we learned? I’ll bite. ::: clears throat ::: Answer : The startling degree to which our projections form and mold what we see and the interpretations that we make — and all while remaining unconscious of it. Hardly, when it's projected directly from the horse's mout...

Re: Christian Civilization -- The Central Issue
The standard rhetorical weapon “You are a Nazi!” has had its force drained out of it, I think. It has been useful for a long long time but I have a feeling its usefulness has been used up. Overplayed. Absolutely! We now need something worse to call each other to have a valid philosophic debate.

Re: Sex and the Religious-Left
There is a lot of truth in this statement but its opposite must also be considered because it exists in volumes. Why would so many souls who, no doubt, consider themselves noble with the best of intentions, congregate around a thoroughly classless piece of human crud like Trump who manifests his de...
