Re: Is morality objective or subjective?
If anyone believes in 'objective moral truths', then why do they not just write down what the 'objective moral truths' are, exactly? If 'objective moral truths' exist, then writing down the list of them would be a very simple and easy task, right? Belief is not required to objectively consider a to...

How can something eternal have a beginning ... 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,...

Re: How Can We Achieve World Peace?
Until you wake up it's pointless reading your stuff. This is not a rare occasion of your failure to not meet expectations. No one expects the Spanish Inquisition. You are tying up your poor brain with too many negatives. To that I say ... you're wrong. The motive of the negatives is for your intere...

Re: How Can We Achieve World Peace?
A college professor was "arrested" yesterday by armed men dressed combat style wearing ski masks. Apparently they were a private security firm ordered by the college authorities. His "crime"? Wanting a ceasefire in Gaza.. America has lost the plot. No, it’s the same old story. A...

Re: Is the knowledge of good and evil, good or evil?
(continued) You may ask, what is knowledge? (Feel free to tweak). Knowledge is a type of understanding that recognizes the ordering of the universe, a recognition (not creation) most often occurring in human-bite-sized portions relevant within a closed system such as the ripe fruit of earth, teeming...

Re: Deleted 500
How can something eternal have a beginning and since when, except in medieval times, has Christian belief ever made sense. It makes sense to those who speak religion lingo, in the same way that dark matter, which has never had a relationship with any of the five senses, makes sense to those who spe...

Re: Is the knowledge of good and evil, good or evil?
The knowledge of evil is good because with that knowledge then one knows that one is serving the wiley evil that so cleverly disguised itself as good. So, if you store the text containing the knowledge on a computer, not only will the text itself be "good", but now the computer is also &q...

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...

Re: What is tolerance?
