What is noticeable is 3400++ verses or 55% of the 6236 verses of the Quran contain anti-disbeliever sentiments [evil, violence, derogatory, intolerances, condemnation, dehumanizing elements] of various degrees. Just note, 55%!! Well, that's a hard work and time invested there. But I think 55% is lo...

As for non-Muslims, note; 9:23. O ye [Muslims] who believe! Choose not your fathers nor your brethren for friends [WLY; awliyāa] if they take pleasure in disbelief [l-kuf'ra; as infidels] rather than faith [AMN; l-īmāni]. Whoso of you [Muslims] taketh them [infidels] for friends [WLY: awliyāa], suc...

I leveraged on Kant for my views on Morality and Ethics which is not exactly deontological but rather it is system-based morality and ethics. Note my OP here; OUGHT from IS is Possible viewtopic.php?f=8&t=27245 Thank you for elaborating, I will take some time to read your thread. understand you...

Does I that does not believe God exists exist? It cannot not believe that God exists if it does not exist. IF I do not exist then I cannot not believe that God exists. is equivalent to : If I can not believe that God exists, then I do exist. Because : If P then Q is equivalent to If not-Q then not-...

I am sorry, Mohamed, about the attack that BarbarianHorde has done on you. It is his business if he is not interested in what you say, but it is not his business to say "who cares". That was despicable by him. If he does not care, others still might. His view serves no philosophical purpo...

So, Mohamed, do you have a question? One that you inadvertently ask yourself? Actually there are questions that I ask myself that are not sufficiently addressed in mainstream philosophy, that is not to say that mainstream philosophy is useless. Most questions I ask are metaphysical questions like :...

Suppose that the ultimate moral code (deontologically ethical code) dictates that it is not right to deprive a person from their freedom why is this ultimate? Is it written in a big book or something? AND dictates that it is right to punish a thief who steals goods of value V under circumstances C ...

Why is it valuable to anyone to know that you check off boxes in categories of traditional knowledge? Who cares? By all means have a great stoic experience, this site is perfect for that. But I happened to have dropped by and Im a disagreeable person and sometimes feel like autism is the best way f...

Why is it valuable to anyone to know that you check off boxes in categories of traditional knowledge? Who cares? Precisely the friend with the username -1- (One) obviously cares about discussing points in stoicism and philosophy of law. And there are 7B people worldwide, roughtly 4 B use the web .....

By the way, for the problems raised regarding law and morality, one of the outlets I can think of is legal interpretivism : that is, to consider that whatever a law dictates must be morally true. Although it has its problems too (probably, some problems are more serious than what natural law theory ...

I'll go along with what you wrote. Hedonism does not have to be a full-time hoarding of pleasures. It needs its own sacrifices to be made by the individual hedonist, as you pointed it out. I agree with what you wrote, and I find it not being in contradiction with being a hedonist. Then I must be mi...

. Your feeling, that there is an ultimate moral code that is incongruous with law, I am sorry, that idea is a bit foreign to me. Thanks for sharing your ideas. Let's consider a case study : Suppose we have two legislators in two well-developed countries L1 and L2 : Let's say that we have an Ultimat...

'thought' cannot scratch the surface of 'God' because God ........ is a COMPLETE thought. My comment on this one: I take it that by complete you mean "perfect" thought , let's suppose that God exists as a Thought or idea, a perfect and complete idea that needs no perfection because it is ...

It just happens.It just is...in my opinion. :D what is an idea anyway? I have no idea!! All I can say is that if God exists then I raise my hat to H/im/r ... although I do not believe God exists, if it turned out the opposite is the case, I would not ask why there is evil, or what is the purpose of...

That he is a she. Sorry, thanks for clarifying. I think languages like Indonesian are cool (both she and he are called dia) And also, SHE has both he and she in it, ( S/he )and that's why I used that label. I combined the opposites to make two ONE. I could have easily have just labeled God an IT Ah...
