Re: The woke mind virus is the biggest threat to civlization

The one's who form alliances are the aggressor. Always. However much this world detests individualists, they never initiate or participate in wars. Indeed- they the ones who can and are fully capable of thinking for themselves often choose a solitary peaceful existence away from the madding crowd. ...

Re: Christian Morality

No, that won't work. "Believe" there has to mean "believe it's true ," meaning "objective." If I say "I believe it's raining," the objective facts will prove or disprove my "belief." To the extent that my "belief" conforms to the objective...

Re: The woke mind virus is the biggest threat to civlization

The woke are the most unlikeable people I can think of. Just icky. Not exactly loathesome, like a depraved sex fiend, but just sort of creepily stomach-churning in a way that is unsettling and hard to pinpoint. Odd, because they think of themselves as being so wonderful (or appear to)--perhaps that...

Re: Christian Morality

Actually, I can see you don't. You haven't figured out that Theists do not regard God as "invented." It seems like you cannot imagine anybody thinking in any way that you do not, so you are inclined to imagine they are operating in some kind of knowing bad-faith. Our ancestors invented th...

Why Live In Society? And Who Is Worthy Of It?

Most human beings choose to live in some kind of social relationship with other human beings. This observation is mistakenly attributed to some supposed evolutionary or inherited natural attribute of human beings, called the, "social nature," or, "social instinct." Nothing causes...

Re: Christianity

Despite the message of peace from both Jesus and Muhammad , men still mistakenly believed they were right to kill innocent people. We apparently are talking about different books and scriptures. The Bible is nothing if it is not the record of continuous wars sanctioned by God with clear instruction...

Re: the bottom line

Just like killing, dumping a relationship with someone who has an inadequate epistemology gets easier each time. But if you follow this path, you'll be alone in an instant. What's wrong with that. Is your own person so inadequate you must have someone else to fill some void in your life. Only those...

Re: Christianity

Trinitarianism is particularly good for providing the teaching and life of Jesus who brings the Deity down to Earth for us. Muhammad the Holy Prophet did the same service for Muslims by recording in human language (Koran) and a life (Hadith) the word of God. Isn't that wonderful! If hadn't been for...

Re: Christianity

That when natural, biological, and ecological systems are examined they are seen to be *utterly cruel* and completely unconcerned for anything we might recognize as 'ethical'. Ethics only pertains to choice, The natural world, with the exceptions of life and human beings, makes no choices. There is...

Re: What could make morality objective?

Whether you like it or not you have been influenced by others and you influence others. I daresay there exists a biological species that is composed of solitaries but we men are not solitaries. You write "Every individual has their own mind and their own life and is responsible for making the ...

Re: What could make morality objective?

Even a little obscure man like you can influence others to be good or bad. Every individual has their own mind and their own life and is responsible for making the best they can of the one life they have both the authority and responsibility for, their own. To believe one's purpose in life is influ...

Re: Rights and Duties

A right is an entitlement, privilege or bithright. We all have rights that are unequal but basic rights cannot be denied. A duty is an obligation or responsibility. We all have duties by belonging to groups of people. Yes, you already said that. Just saying it over and over is not going to make it ...
