Re: Sex and the Religious-Left
What makes you ask that? Don't worry about derailing the thread. Yeah. I like the new topic better. A person can make sense of a guitar. The "religious left" maybe not as much. Do you know much about guitars, Gary? 🤔 No. I don't. I like the sound, though. But there's lots of good music ou...

Re: Sex and the Religious-Left
Gary, you did recognize that he is speaking of servitude to higher values, right? Did that really get by you? It is weird to me the reaction — a deep resentment it seems — that is invoked when the idea of higher endeavors and those who realize them are held up as being exemplary. What is this about...

On the contrary the select man, the excellent man is urged, by interior necessity, to appeal from himself to some standard beyond himself, superior to himself, whose service he freely accepts...

Re: Sex and the Religious-Left
You’ve never seen the movie If? Antidote to Alice Cooper. I have never seen the movie "If". Is there a point to all that shooting and killing in that scene or is it just gratuitous violence to eat popcorn to and get your date to suddenly cuddle up next to you for a sense of security and p...

Re: Is morality objective or subjective?
How do we know they are wrong? Well, for one thing, all of these ethical frameworks listed disagree in pretty profound ways. They begin with different suppositions about what the basic moral axiom might be, and very often, end with different conclusions. What's lacking is a meta-ethical way to arbi...

Re: The Political Man
In my experience bigotry and xenophobia don't stand up to self-examination. But then, I'm just a nut case, apparently. Everybody is "bigoted and xenophobic" though. Do the Liberal-Leftist-Democrats accept Trump? Do the Liberal-Leftist-Democrats accept MAGA voters? No. So they're being big...

Re: Is Conservatism just NeoTraditionalism these days?
Voluntary unions. No forced membership. And the unions are not permitted to collude with government or business, or conspire to exploit their members in any way. Then they'd be fine. Sure. And in parallel would you be in favor of creating a rule that businesses cannot prevent workers from joining a...
