    When New Age goes too far?

    I kinda feel any degree of New Age takes it too far. This wasn't directed at me but I find it pretty much impossible for someone to truthfully claim to be a proper Guru and not at least live modestly. I suppose it's more of a sliding scale though, but I don't see the point of it beyond a...

    Kapala (Scalp) liberation...

    SKapala means skull right? *looks around nervously hoping no one notices her name* But similarly to Aup, I'm wondering if something else might cause it. Do/can chakras really affect someone's bone structure so dramatically? I'm hesitant to believe it. Many other physical/health factors could...

    contradiction, dialetheism & religion

    There was also in the late 80's when he worked with him on singularities. He also co-authored with him in the mid 90's a few times. I don't know enough specifics to say to what degree QM was involved. I'm not sure if this is brought up in relevance to contradiction or just as an aside. If the...

    contradiction, dialetheism & religion

    I find it extremely hard to believe that a world renowned mathematician and physicist who teaches at Oxford and who's worked closely with people like Hawking would get such a basic aspect about Quantum Mechanics wrong so consistently over the years. At the very least I would think that one of...

    contradiction, dialetheism & religion

    Again, that comes down to interpretation. Again, not according to Penrose: A few pages after the above quote, Penrose talks about particles with "two-state" systems in chapter 22 of the book and goes more in depth in 22.9 (on page 553). So again, isn't your assertions going to come down to...

    contradiction, dialetheism & religion

    Reuters???? Popular press? Don't trust? wut lol. The other I linked was Nobel organization's site about the prize winners' experiment. And Penrose and others have said yes they think they literally are in two places at the same time until the waveform collapses from all I've read and I think...

    contradiction, dialetheism & religion

    Okay, so I couldn't sleep as this kept bothering me lol. I found the book and digged through it some... this is the book btw: https://www.amazon.com/Road-Reality-Complete-Guide-Universe/dp/0679776311 Anyways as far as Copenhagen, ya I was wrong and was confusing it with a different...

    contradiction, dialetheism & religion

    Are you saying it has a certain actual, determined state that we just are not aware of before it's observed? I double checked and that view is the "De rogle-Bohm theory" if I understood correctly what I read (I'm not too familiar with it, but that view if true would get around physical...

    contradiction, dialetheism & religion

    I'm no physicist and it's been a few years since I've read any book in depth on QM but I've never once heard anyone say that the Copenhagen interpretation doesn't take the superstate literally. [EDIT; I was mistaken, in my huge post below #12 I realized I confused two different interpretations...

    contradiction, dialetheism & religion

    Neither dialetheism nor my position state that we relax skepticism. Rather dialetheism is coming from a point of skeptism and logic: Dialetheism - Wikipedia The argument is that since there is physical phenomena that violates the law of noncontradiction, it can't always be true, so there might...

    Got the Memo Yet? You Can Indeed Prove a Negative!

    I already brought that up in post #21! It isn't true for all phenomena though, see above.

    Got the Memo Yet? You Can Indeed Prove a Negative!

    Yes because the assertion relies on holding a specific view on logic; the position isn't monolithic within philosophy (see my post in #21)

    contradiction, dialetheism & religion

    So I often see arguments against what certain religions believe about the attributes of god(s) based on the idea that those qualities contradict. However contradiction doesn't necessarily disprove anything. We would have to prove an axiom to prove that, and you can't do that. To partially quote...

    Are Agnostics Generally "Closer to God" than Either Atheists or Theists?

    You would and do. I basically agree with this hence my previous post.

    Got the Memo Yet? You Can Indeed Prove a Negative!

    Not trying to debate... but given the tone this is all worth mentioning: Only if you don't hold the position of dialetheism. Simply stating that your position is true doesn't make it so, which is all you have done here. How can we know for certain that the law of non-contradiction is true? To...

    Are Agnostics Generally "Closer to God" than Either Atheists or Theists?

    In your first post, your description of the theist getting closer to god with the "right beliefs" speaks more to orthodoxy than it does to truth. Orthodoxy doesn't necessarily lead to being closer to god,but being closer to truth does. In that sense, it isn't agnosticism about the existence of...

    If you're liberal, I believe your faith is in doubt

    Quite the contrary for many people.

    Do you believe in karma theory?

    Karma has nothing to do with the good, just or wise doing well or being at the top. Karma is all about attachment. Not good or evil. Although some attachments are good and some are 'evil'. We should strive for "good" rather than "evil", after all.

    Ritual Religious Animal Sacrifice

    To add to my post above, there is actually specific laws to protect ritual slaughter and it specifically lists religions like Voodoo and Judaism.

    Ritual Religious Animal Sacrifice

    This is a violation of their constitutional rights. I read the article they literally were just butchering meat to eat. But of course bigotry is the reason since it just so happened they had a spiritual aspect to it and it wasn't Christian. Of course this is in Texas they give no crap about...
