Re: I am who I am

If I had a dirty mind I could probably figure it out! :twisted:

The best I can do right now is to say it's a decomposing butterfly.

Re: Who do we think we are?

Never who we actually are which is seldom favorable to what we are.

Re: Thomas Kuhn (1922-1996)

Truth is as impossible to know as is the mind of god there being no separation between the two...whoever or whatever god is. Dunno about that. Seems to me the truth is that there either is a god or there isn't, in the same way that there is or isn't a me. The fact that something about me is true do...

Re: Thomas Kuhn (1922-1996)

Simply put; while human science might prove some theories wrong, human ingenuity will always be able to come up with alternative theories which explain exactly the same phenomena equally well. The other thing is whether a theory will predict all future observations; you can't know that until you ha...

Re: A Dawkins No-No

Dawkins is getting old and as you get old you get more grouchy. There are only few who mellow out instead. He notices all the stupid shit happening now including three quarters of the garbage which qualifies as political correctness. He may not be the most pleasant character, but his views certainly...

Re: Religion Is Insanity

Perhaps it should be asked what is common to most religions and that part is fairly clear. Religion is any long-held belief which has a redemption motive at its center whether supernaturally inscribed as through gods or metaphysically by means of mind-training. An example of that, I think, would be ...

Re: Religion Is Insanity

I'm pretty sure you won't even find one that supports that impression, but okay. It's maybe an easier story to tell yourself, I guess. Your perennial crusade against the infidel atheist is well-known and shows a tremendous amount of hate. I have no doubt that if you lived and had the power in the m...

Re: Religion Is Insanity

I've been communicating with IC for a lot longer than you have. You have no way of knowing that. Under your avatar it shows having joined July 17, 2018. Under my ID it's May 19, 2015. That's how I know unless you were here under a different name from one you now use which I doubt very much. Hypocri...

Re: Religion Is Insanity

Heh. :D You won't find any evidence for that. I forgot to add you're also known after years of experience on this site as a consummate liar, distorter and deceiver. ... I'm sorry this discussion has devolved to addressing, "personalities." But, if it must: IC is definitely NOT a liar. He ...

Based on all your posts regarding atheists, I think the latter more likely! I'm pretty sure you won't even find one that supports that impression, but okay.

Re: Religion Is Insanity

You appear to represent the deceptive, self-serving kind. As I said...hating is easy. It's so much easier than challenging oneself to learn to love. Yeah, right. It prioritizes the question have you challenged yourself enough to love the damned, i.e., those who don't believe or worship Jesus and es...

Re: Death Row

You weren't dead before you were born; you became dead after you died. Amazingly these two conditions are equal to each other and the infinitesimal interim completely wiped out. Easy come easy go refers much more to life and death than to money matters. Death is simply the upshot of dying; no myster...
