    A UK RF meetup ?

    I am reliably informed, by someone who knows from personal experience, that the cops in LA address you as ‘Sir’ when threatening to shoot you. That’s the epitome of politeness in my book. Ps. I have an over 60s travel pass and I live in London btw, so it won’t even cost a bus fare for me to...

    A UK RF meetup ?

    You can pick up a phrase book - and a tracksuit - at the airport.

    A UK RF meetup ?

    C’mon over, pal. You’d love it here; we’re not as polite as you Yanks, but we’re generally tolerant of oddballs and misfits.

    I'm Leaving

    I’m sorry you’re leaving. We disagree on loads, but I’ve always valued your input.

    People are always saying God works in mysteries ways.

    I think it means that blessings often arrive disguised as misfortune

    Happy Birthday Saint Frankenstein!!!

    Again already? Well Happy Birthday then...

    Teleological Argument (Aquinas)

    The concept of causality is fundamental to our understanding of the universe and our place in it, sure. And as such, is far too significant a principle to be left unquestioned. Non-local, and therefore seemingly non-causal, correlations are central to the disparity between classical and...

    Teleological Argument (Aquinas)

    We should always be wary of the obvious answers, in my experience. And to reduce concepts to the terms used to define them, is to confuse the map for the territory.

    Teleological Argument (Aquinas)

    Well firstly, I don’t see any contradiction at all between respect for science and scientists, and belief in God. Science didn’t create the universe, and no scientist would argue that it did, since science is the study of the natural world, through observation and experiment. The laws of science...

    Teleological Argument (Aquinas)

    So just a question of semantics then?

    Have you tried turning it off and back on again?

    What book r u reading?

    Currently half way through Napoleon the Great by Andrew Roberts. I don't think Napoleon was that great tbh, but probably more so than Alexander, who's empire also failed to survive him. Roberts is an engaging writer though and Bonaparte was certainly an interesting character.

    Teleological Argument (Aquinas)

    We could disappear down a rabbit hole for hours, just trying to agree on a meaning of the term ‘supernatural’; and I don’t see much mileage in doing so. The fact remains, we don’t yet have a scientific materialist theory for consciousness. If we are prepared to consider the possibility that...

    Teleological Argument (Aquinas)

    So therefore phenomena on which it may require original and/or creative thinking to shed some light. This requirement frequently stumps the unimaginative, of course.

    Teleological Argument (Aquinas)

    Consciousness exists, we know that much at least. And there is as yet no convincing solution, from science or philosophy, to the Hard Problem of Consciousness (essentially how and why humans and other organisms have qualitative subjective experience)

    Teleological Argument (Aquinas)

    Can you explain how natural selection, which doesn’t even account for abiogenesis at this point, might in any way be responsible for the Big Bang? Because we’re considering the entire cosmos here, not just life on earth. And the Standard Model of cosmology leaves plenty of questions about the...

    World War Three

    Americans are counting on none of this directly affecting them. The US exports war, it doesn’t expect to import it.
  19. RestlessSoul

    Let's see if we can define 'Islamophobia'.

    Forget what’s legal for a moment. Do you think these behaviours are harmles? Should they be encouraged, or should we try to control our urges when they are likely to cause suffering to ourselves or others?

    What Happened

    I hope you can find a way to let go of anger, and return to some sort of inner peace. You might consider asking yourself; Who am I angry with, and why? Who is the anger hurting (most likely myself)? Who do I need to forgive, and what would it take to do that?
