The basic is very simple: Premise 1: an actual infinite regress of causes cannot exist, because in an infinite regress, the causal chain never starts, but rather "recedes" into a supposed infinite past. (Mathematical and deductive) Premise 2: the universe is a product of a chain of causes...

I have a quite different goal and agenda.... I am trying to use philosophy as a ''way of life'' as was the case in ancient Athens or the use of religions as Paul or even Jesus used it.... which is religion used not to get to heaven, but as a way of life.... not as a theory but as a means of living....

Don't be too arrogant with your 'logic' which is more likely to fill with holes (sic?). My view is 'whatever is ruled by rules' or laws in this case, that is not morality-proper but rather it only has some association with the inherent morality-proper within all humans. Society and cultures has (si...

The title of this thread is utterly stupid, bigoted, insulting to others and intolerant. This thread ought to be locked and deleted. My opinion. Gazza - is the thread title now reasonable: Islam MUST HAVE reformation or be outlawed The holy text is from God is dictated to be immutable; there is no ...

Be nice and meet them 'half way'. Reason with them. See how that goes. Just a question. What does 'half way' between rational and insanity look like? That is just like patting a poisonous snake. I've just listened this video related to Lebanon once known as the Paris of the Middle East. My Chat wit...

ISLAM is an evil ideology moreso than a religion. No other religion has masses of doctrine insisting people covert to its teachings AND laws or be killed by its followers. Perhaps you have never heard of the Crusades, the Inquisition, or the Witch-killing craze in 16th century Europe. I am not an e...

I was referring specifically [only] to your ignorance of the religion of peace or rather piece[s]. You have any comment on this which I wrote above? So it is either you are ignorant & wrong or I am of the above. Show me proofs if you think I am wrong. You got a lot to learn here as well. All hu...

Doubtless. Fortunately, I might even be capable of learning, unlike you. If morality is encoded in our DNA, like a computer algorithm, then all of these religious distinctions are irrelevant. How is it that they differ, given your "objective morality" theory? I was referring specifically ...

Not the best start to encourage me to read anything you typed. Don't be overly sensitive. If is a fact you are ignorant of the points I indicated. Remember when you insulted me on my 'ignorance', it motivated me to discover more to prove you wrong. Please refer to the post I made above. Which 'need...

Those that call for Sharia law or guilty of other criminal acts in those European countries which allowed them in, welcomed and supported them, that problem is solved very easily. Without further ado, whether by the hundreds or thousands, you get them off your soil back to where they came from, inc...

Why would I be stupid enough to accept Islamic ideology being part of the country I want to feel safe in? “Kill them [unbelievers] wherever you find them… And fight them until there is no more unbelief and worship is for Allah alone” (Quran 2:191-193). “The Messenger of Allah said: I have been comm...

VA thinks my version of his P1 - 'we humans have to perceive, know and describe reality in human ways' - misrepresents it. And he denies the conclusion 'therefore, humans generate facts'. Instead, it's a 'system' that takes in inputs and generates outputs - conditioned facts, within a framework. So...

......... ......... Inbreeding avoidance is NOT a "scientific fact". Humans are not "coded" like computers. We have the ability to choose, and we have culturally constituted moral rules to help us make acceptable choices. These are not "algorithms". Once again, you ign...
