I have no perspective other than what science and nature imply. You're almost laughable in your desperate attempt to become personal and denigrate whatever I say. And I will point out that right there is your problem with understanding revelation. You seem to me to be one so committed to a set of p...

Well, my Trump Derangement Syndrome causes me to imagine that the central character in AJ's picture,... (the locus of focus; the veritable Antichrist in the flesh) ...at the very moment that picture was taken, was thinking to himself how much he would love to reach down and grab the blond chick by ...

"but you’re a grumpy embittered nihilist who seeks to impose a pretty dreary perspective" Harbal may be a nihilist and a grumpy old cynic, but his cynicism is not the expression of nihilistic complaining, or caused by his nihilism. In fact he's a rather well mannered nihilist if a nihilis...

The world at large cares not in the least. No one knows how any revaluation in progress will manifest itself and all the influences which will determine it. Our collective writings and opinions here have zero effect on any of it. It means less than zilch, mine, yours and everyone else. Debate, with...

Those themes and topics brought up and discussed transcend any individual. The world at large cares not in the least. No one knows how any revaluation in progress will manifest itself and all the influences which will determine it. Our collective writings and opinions here have zero effect on any o...

Your statement The real issue has to do I think with the purity of the person doing the imagining , historically has had some of the most inimical side-effects by enforcing a sense of infallibility on oneself or worse projecting such a near stainless persona on someone and following it as a infalli...

You accuse me of "TDS" because I recoil in disgust at you (and millions of other cult members) treating the most brazen pathological liar in human history as if he were some kind of "Christ-like" figure. For my part (your comment was directed to Wizard) I cannot accuse you of an...

Tolerance is submission to necessity. Weaker you are the more tolerant you must become. Stoicism converted it into a way of life - tolerance in relation to existence. Well put. It extends the inference from the individual where it commences to the philosophical as a way of coping with human existen...

Fact is I feel short changed.

My apologies! I never meant for you to feel that way. My mention of you was meant to be sincere.

What you have written here is a statement and a declaration that you have repeated many times. It's also an accusation you've repeated many times. Factually, I've been far less prolix in asserting mine than you have been with your interminable essays. Just a little insight would have helped you to ...

However, stripping Christianity of its alluring "hook",... (the promise of eternal life in Heaven) ...and of its fearsome "cudgel",... (the threat of eternal torture in Hell if one doesn't accept Christ as savior) ...would render Christianity impotent. That's certainly true. Whi...

If we need religion for moral, ethical and spiritual development which at best religion only provided on a very low level, it's time to take holy communion from Trump. This statement here contains real error. I have been reading the Baltimore Catechism and other seminal documents lately. I am struc...

If that were the case I would not have a problem admitting to it. But that is not the case. My issue resolves to this: there is either a constant, ever-existing metaphysics that originated with the manifestation of this Universe and Cosmos, and there either is or there is not a supreme divinity tha...

The Universe being infinite and eternal is irrefutable because of the proof.

Do you even know what 'proof' is?

Saying "because of the proof" means nothing unless you show it. So where's the proof? Kindly present it since you say it's irrefutable.
