Very well, I have no problem with that. Best wishes on that endeavor and God bless you.

Let's discuss the myth. Yahweh is shown as a genocidal and infanticidal god. Second statement first: You state your opinion. As stated it does not seem to be even close to a fact. Philosophically stated "facts" are called propositions, which are usually followed by evidence. First stateme...

Thus there is a need for a more thorough Secular Framework and System of Morality that has completeness and is efficient and can adapt to changes for the greater good. I respect that, but consider this, from the New Testament: "Jesus Christ, the Messiah, is the same yesterday, today and foreve...

so if I believe my moral assumptions are sound, I must commit to act on them. Anyone can believe their 'moral' assumptions are sound, but how do one know these assumptions are actually related to 'morality-proper' and how do one justified they are sound? Good question. So I will give you my best an...

Nice of you to say so. I completely forgot this post. Now that you reminded me of it, I confess, it barely sounds familiar though still of the same opinion. If all of reality, the seen and the unseen completely dissolves into a virtual Nothing, impurities will remain which I like to think of as inf...

Personally, I prefer nothing over something since the something you get is not usually what you wanted in the first place. The human race...

Something to check out one of these days. Yes, something to check out one of these days. So, tell me, what...

If Harbal is a retired astronaut, I'm a dragon tamer visiting from the Pleiades star cluster. :lol: Welcome Pilgrim! How's the weather at Pleiades star cluster, Lacey. :) It's beautiful! I would love to show you around. Let me know when you plan to be in the area in your space capsule. It's hard to...

Well, now I feel very much at home here, appreciate all the welcoming voices and meeting a retired astronaut among my new acquaintances.
