Re: Kant: No Ought From Is

“Morality is experienced” is not a fact... Yes, it's a fact. In exactly the same sanse as "gravity is experienced" is a fact. It has tangible consequences! When you experience healthcare (doctors and nurses trying to keep your ass healthy and alive) that's morality in action. If you can't...

Re: Kant: No Ought From Is

Morality exists, therefore moral facts exist. There is nowhere for moral facts to come from except what is (including material facts, personal desires, and social priorities, not just personal acts). na, What ought to be would be classified as an “idea” of which personal desires, social priorities,...

Re: Let us stop fighting in the name of religion and God

This entire earth is the property of the absolute God since it is created by Him. No human being created any region of this earth and therefore the absolute right of this entire earth belongs to the absolute God only. It is the climax of foolishness of human beings to fight and kill each other for ...

Re: WHY DID JESUS ON THE CROSS PRAY TO GOD TO EXCUSE HIS OFFENDERS SINCE THEY WERE IGNORANT?

The prayer of Jesus on the cross tells us that we should have tolerance even towards our bitter enemies. This is a very important and basic concept in the context of Universal Spirituality. Often, some followers of another religion criticize our religion so bitterly that we are unable to control ou...

Re: How can Prophet Mohammed be compared to God’s Incarnation as Kalki?

It is perfectly correct. The establisher of every religion is God-in-human-form and hence, Kalki and Mohammed can be conveniently compared. At the time of Mohammad, there were several religions, which worshipped several Gods. As a result, there was a lot of quarrelling and violence among those reli...

Re: Why from satan came?

Some people ask from where Satan came and from what source he got his power? The answer is that the same producer and director of the movie, who appointed one actor as hero has appointed another as the villain. The villain is also remunerated like the hero. Sometimes the producer-cum-director can e...

Re: Ethical Veganism is Consistent with Everyday Ethics

one's preferences to diet isn't an issue of ethics though some morons try to make it a self-righteous issue. If you become a racist cannibal who only eats the French, it would be difficult to do so without at least one immoral choice. how is that? is cannibalism intrinsically evil because you say s...

Re: Ethical Veganism is Consistent with Everyday Ethics

It is on subject, isn’t it? Not really, ethical veganism isn't a diet. The diet is a consequence of the ethics. The post is meant to identify the underlying ethical principles and explain what being "vegan" means (I put vegan here in quotes because I don't really think the average person ...
