As I said Age, only three things can be proven. Which of the three things that can be proven does your Truth fit? If it doesn't fit any of those, you can't prove it. That thoughts exist. So you agree with René Descartes, as anyone who knows the first thing about philosophy is bound to. You cannot p...

You really could NOT wait for ACTUAL proof BEFORE you BELIEVED that you KNEW what the truth is here. Which is REALLY quite funny considering what I have been SAYING and POINTING OUT here As I said Age, only three things can be proven. Which of the three things that can be proven does your Truth fit...

So, do you BELIEVE I can NOT without waiting for ANY ACTUAL PROOF? Here is the complete list of everything that can be proven: 1. That two things are equivalent 2. That a conclusion follows from some premises 3. That thought exists 1 and 2 are essentially logic and mathematics. 3 is the only empiri...

Yes

No.

Whosoever shall rape your daughter in her vagina, to him offer her asshole as well. Obviously, what I assert here is that at the most basic and fundamental level this particular Christian admonition is not only impracticable but insane . You could never ask any person to actually live according to ...

That is not in dispute, but if proof matters, can you give an example of one thing you can prove?

Lol what if you found out J wuz just an ordinary political activist guy who defended the victims of the incredible wealth disparity that existed in Rome, and not a miracle working son of a 'god'? Well, I hate to state the obvious, but Jesus Christ did not live in Rome, nor did He ever visit there.....

If you REALLY want to BELIEVE there was a BEGINNING to the Universe, then WHY do you NOT 'try' and STAND BEHIND this BELIEF of YOURS, and keep 'trying to' FIGHT or ARGUE for THIS BELIEF? It's not a case of wanting to believe; it is interpreting the evidence which I presented here: https://www.youtu...

Remind me Gus: in your view, does one have to take any of the New Testament as true to be a Christian? Of course they have informed world events, but do you care whether the gospels are history or literature? You mean 'remind' you in a Platonic sense I gather? Well, if you mean anamnesis, then no. ...

I do not regard it as a defect that early Christianity incorporated into itself different traditions. As I have said a few times those early centuries were made up of 'a confusion of peoples' and also a confusion of ideas and conceptions. Remind me Gus: in your view, does one have to take any of th...

Age wrote: ↑Thu May 12, 2022 1:28 pmAlso, and by the way, I just say 'things' while WAITING, PATIENTLY, for those who are Truly READY, and who Truly WANT, to learn, and uncover, MORE.

Age, go and play with some soft toys.

1. There are NO ACTUAL 'events'. There is just One event, in continual 'change'. Well yeah, you can interpret the universe like that. It's a mash up of Heraclitus and Parmenides, ideas from Ancient Greece. If you are waiting for people who are TrUly open to your beliefs, they have been around for a...

Well, I think we can make those measurements; it's just that Santa can do things in that timescale.

When traveling faster than the speed of light is ACCOMPLISHED, then what takes place is what is generally referred to as 'time travel'. Age, you could only travel in time if it were precisely the discrete dimension you insist doesn't exist. Furthermore, 'time' does NOT, and could NEVER, 'slow down'...

You DID WRITE: "... if nothing were to change, there would be no way to measure time . Time would not exist" That's right, time is a cultural artefact. We just have the concept of time to map events. Time as a cultural artefact would not exist if there were no events - we would not be here. If ther...
