Re: Sex and gender
Yes...genes to memes. Mind/Body dissonance is caused when the latter contradicts the former. Really? The cause seems to be, attempting to match form to a subjective, conceptual abstraction of what that form should be. Much like AI, the former contradicting the latter. I see you are still experiment...

Re: Is morality objective or subjective?
I just wanted to show the folly of trying to mix religion and reality. Well, "religion" is something in which I have no interest, but reality is quite important. So you might have to take your case where it's more appropriate, I guess. I don't have much choice in the matter; my case usual...

One could say, of you, that you’ve dug your hole and, if it were like a bed, lie in it.
You don't see many bed shaped holes; I don't suppose there's much demand for them.

Re: Is morality objective or subjective?
If you think there's such a thing as "my logic" or "your logic," as opposed to just "logic," then you don't know what real logic is. The idea is as absurd as saying, "my mathematics," or "my natural laws," or "my truth." I'm quite satisfie...

Re: Is morality objective or subjective?
And if this were a religion forum I wouldn't be challenging him. Actually, I wouldn't even be here. It actually is a "religion forum". I've never seen a philosophy forum as obsessed with God and religion as this place. It seems to make its way into practically every thread. This thread is...

Re: Is morality objective or subjective?
"Happy" or not, what should be quite clear to you is that you're not being logical. But okay; if being "happy" is the goal, I'll take your word for it that you've arrived. I'm quite satisfied with the quality of my logic, but I can see why you don't think much of it. 🙂 If you th...

Re: Is morality objective or subjective?
Whatever "jiggery pockery and nonsense" IC has ... The idea that God can know the future without the future being predetermined is pretty common in religion and Christianity. So he's just repeating a standard line of thinking. And if this were a religion forum I wouldn't be challenging hi...

Re: Is morality objective or subjective?
I'm just trying to figure out how you think that knowing and predetermination work together. I don't really have that many thoughts about it. It was only a case of pointing to the logical implications of IC's claim that God knows everything, including the contents of the future. If we use the fact ...

Re: Christian Civilization -- The Central Issue
What I have noticed, and what I have been trying to get worked out in my own thinking, is the degree to which many people -- indeed most who participate on this site -- have a huge problem understanding the concept of revelation . Not understanding it has never been a problem to me. Of course, Harb...

Re: Is morality objective or subjective?
Give it a try. You'll see. No, I'm happy to be judged on what I've already said on the matter. "Happy" or not, what should be quite clear to you is that you're not being logical. But okay; if being "happy" is the goal, I'll take your word for it that you've arrived. I'm quite sa...

Re: Going 50/50
Well I haven't renounced it completely. There are certainly serious legal risks. I suppose there would be if I were planning on doing something illegal. I wouldn't say that. My last encounter wasn't too frightening. That is what Julian Assange also initially thought. I bet the women he sexually ass...

Re: Is morality objective or subjective?
That doesn't follow. "Know" and "make happen" or "predetermine" are different verbs. And you could prove to yourself whether or not that was true, if you'd just try to form the syllogism for your argument. It can't be done. :? Give it a try. You'll see. No, I'm happy t...
