    The only solution is to love all mankind

    No, I can't because I have an understanding of what constitutes as a reasonable belief to have faith in and what doesn't. My current religious belief (which is called Flawlessism) is built upon one core faith, and the rest of it takes form because of what that core faith is, which is in a...

    The only solution is to love all mankind

    If I had freedom in my belief, then that means I could just suddenly believe that the universe was created by a giant chicken or some other nonsensical belief, yet I can try to do this and fail to truly believe such a thing. Even if someone else somehow could believe in such things, it would...

    The only solution is to love all mankind

    To say we are free in our moral choices means that we always understand exactly why we make the choices that we do, that it's coming from us, not from our situation. But imagine if that were true, imagine if everyone on the freeway had the freedom to be a reckless driver, suddenly deciding to...

    The only solution is to love all mankind

    They were making a reply to me, so I think you're confused about "the figure of speech" thing.

    The only solution is to love all mankind

    There is nothing I understand about myself which is not equal to all other beings with consciousness. The reason why is because I see us as existing as souls, and I define the soul as simply existing as I don't believe we have free will. So, when someone is unconscious, that is when they are...

    Are you responding to me or to someone else?

    The only solution is to love all mankind

    Not a reason to me. The way I see it, everyone with consciousness is an equal, meaning that animals, insects, aliens, etc. are all equals to me. However, just because we're all equals, doesn't mean that I suddenly have infinite energy to spend helping others, I need motivations, peace of mind, a...

    The only solution is to love all mankind

    Though I agree with you that the correct answer is for everyone to love each other, people still need a reason to love each other, a meaning that gives them that sense of purpose... and that is where I believe there will be many disagreements on how people should go about that, because if the...

    Are We Born Into Depravity?

    I believe it's impossible for any of us to commit an act of evil. But I do believe that we can make choices which are ideal good or non-ideal good. As for what I define good as, it's something which we all desire to do, if we're able to. Take for example someone saying that they live their lives...

    Is Atheism (et al) a Worldview?

    And it's not like I was saying I believe with 100% certainty that all Jehovah's Witnesses are like that, I even recently said this: "But I could be wrong since a bunch of people who believe in that religion that behave a certain way doesn't mean they automatically all do.", yet somehow that's...

    Is Atheism (et al) a Worldview?

    Really? You're going to respond that way instead of just prove me wrong? I've made this super easy, all you have to do... is prove me wrong, that's it, super easy.

    Is Atheism (et al) a Worldview?

    In other words, you haven't learned your lesson at all, but want to make yourself seem like the victim here. Ok, I'm blocking you.

    Is Atheism (et al) a Worldview?

    Jehovah's Witnesses from my experience tend to be like trolls, they seem like they're up for a good debate, but always back out instead of explaining their reasoning, or admit they're wrong, or at least admit that they can't refute the point being made. If you want to prove to me that you're not...

    Is Atheism (et al) a Worldview?

    You were debating with someone from Jehovah's Witness, if you've never debated with someone who believes in that religion before, I can tell you from experience that I have seen them debate with people many times, and every time, they always back out when someone makes a decent point which...

    Is Atheism (et al) a Worldview?

    That's not what I'm saying at all, theistic worldviews mean worldviews that have theism in them, it does not mean that theism is a worldview by itself! How do you not understand this? I explained it very clearly if you read my entire comment. You've claimed to me that you have a degree in...

    Is Atheism (et al) a Worldview?

    Materialism, while not a complete worldview, often coexists with beliefs that emphasize the physical world and empirical evidence, such as a belief in science. Atheism, which is the absence of belief in gods, often aligns with materialism, as both are grounded in a worldview that prioritizes the...

    Is Atheism (et al) a Worldview?

    This is what I said: "Theism is simply the belief in God, Gods, etc. but to have such beliefs requires a cause, which means some type of worldview, which [[[tends]]] to be a religion of some sort." Do you not know what the word "tends" means?? It means not always, but often does.

    Is Atheism (et al) a Worldview?

    No, once you get to the point where you can no longer specify what a person's worldview is, then that would be their worldview. It's like all the ways an apple is an apple, once you've done everything, then you naturally have fully explained what the apple is. Though naturally, a worldview is...

    Is Atheism (et al) a Worldview?

    You say that is not correct, but then you also say that you don't fully understand what it is I'm even saying... yeah, I "totally" believe you're saying something reasonable.

    Is Atheism (et al) a Worldview?

    I would make the argument that materialism also isn't a worldview, but a way of specifying what a person's worldview is. So, for example, a worldview which is atheist, materialist, and also other things greatly limits the number of different worldviews the person in question might have...
