Re: Christian Civilization -- The Central Issue
Beethoven can hardly be considered a musician. Some of his *music* sounds to me like a garbage truck rumbling over a pot-holed back alley -- and then those caterwauling felines! And all of it ALL OF IT is just noise. I am surprised people don't see through it. All those sentiments, feelings indeed ...

Re: Christian Civilization -- The Central Issue
...they too (at least the more intelligent ones) agreed that "supernatural realness" is just an illusion. They then altogether, in an act of group solidarity, pooped in their drinking water. _______ Pooping in the drinking water is no way to be either, the non-religious will have to find ...

Re: Christian Civilization -- The Central Issue
To say that supernatural realness isn't real, seems absurd? On the contrary. It appears to me that you think like someone who hasn't come into contact with religion and spirituality for the first few decades of his life, and now that you did, it's mesmerizing you. Spirituality is good, but it can't...

Re: Christian Civilization -- The Central Issue
"Higher" intelligence usually arrives at the conclusion that metaphysical authority isn't real, it's nowhere to be found except in the religious books. And higher intelligence usually has a harder time lying to itself, has a harder time pretending that the metaphysical authority exists on...

Re: Christian Civilization -- The Central Issue
The West has been moving away from religion and God (this supernatural "will") for a long time, why would it just turn around now? It is a good question to ask. My answer? Metaphysical authority is real — realness itself. To align with it is a choice of higher intelligence. That “moving a...

Re: Christian Civilization -- The Central Issue
Kinda pointless imo to try to make a mostly non-Christian audience unblock/unsever their connection to Christian metaphysics - a metaphysics they either never had to begin with, or rejected. What we call “the Christian metaphysics” would need to be better understood. The core idea though is univers...

Re: Christian Civilization -- The Central Issue
My interest, my focus, is in understanding the innermost dimensions of what we call The Christian Revelation. And my interest is in reading and understanding the meaning encapsulated within these theological definitions. Meaning is also extremely metaphysical. When we think about how something, any...

Re: Moral Relativists Condone Killing of Babies for Pleasure
Huh? You are mixing up the concept that every individual has a (different) set of moral codes to guide themselves in life decisions, with the (erroneous) idea that acknowleging this reality equates to personally agreeing with each and every individual moral code in existence (which is an essentiall...

Re: Let's talk about parallel universe...
What even is 'infinite everything'? And, as for the made up 'dark matter' term it is just like the made up 'multiverse' term. Some people just cannot comprehend and understand what the, infinite and eternal, Universe is made up of, exactly, and how It works, exactly, so terms, with impossible defin...

Re: Let's talk about parallel universe...
Sir, thanks for your sincerely reply , i will take it seriously. Psychologically speaking, there are only two opposites in this world, one is " myself " and the other is "other people ". Regarding the "other people" here, we don't need to deliberately subdivide them in...

Re: Heaven and hell are not just "illusory"
The fact that you cannot just provide the so-claimed 'extremely simple and common knowledge' here proves what you have been continually showing here. Also, you will never ever provide the so-called 'extremely simple and common knowledge' as to what a 'multiverses topic's' definitions are because if...
