    Is headonism a good philosophy ?

    I agree with that statement. To my mind the pursuit of a just and true love and charity within based on trustworthiness and deserve guided by reason, evidence, and proof would be far more fulfilling, and more meaningful. If one can find that within one's self they've found the greatest...

    How could time have always existed?

    Time is that which allows events to continuously happen. I don't think we can account for the property that allows sequenced events. Since there is a difference between past, present, and future, and we do age, I have to say time exists. As far as I know science has to measure other things to...

    Tyson vs Paul

    No legs. Paul went easy on him. Should not have promoted this one.

    Tyson vs Paul

    Tyson has too much boxing skills, and power for Paul to last.

    Are We Responsible for Our Inactions?

    In a moral trap where good is not an option, the moral obligation is to choose bad over worse. Inaction would mean insufficient information to make a distinguishable better choice. Inaction might also be a good choice if there's no other way to learn the lesson but to endure the worst if the...

    Free Will No Longer

    It exists in some ways, not others.

    Radio Preachers

    A lot of preachers are talented orators but not much wisdom in what they say. They sound very profound at times, but no substantive content do I hear. Maybe someday they'll use those pulpits to speak real truth but I'm not holding my breath for that. The best idea religion ever came up with...

    Do you think our pets have a soul?

    Yes animals have individual qualitative character traits, personality, heart, and varying forms of intelligence, and unified selfhood. They are as alive as we are minus the full capacity of awareness that we have.

    Useful&practical spiritual/religious teachings/concepts.

    Godhood could be the pinnacle of arrogance. Spirituality has the goal of equality with love, joy, and peace. The main precept is to lift up the virtuous and to make equal all in virtue so that superiority is not a forever state of affairs. The world of competing interests, and exploiting...

    What is the point of propose of this reality we call life?

    If anything it's to learn about existence. Or it's a brute fact, and a fleeting journey that fades away which I don't necessarily believe but could be. Existence may aim at knowing itself since beings are in an intelligible form with convenient functions that serve being well enough. Perhaps...

    Member Survey: The Balance Between Free Speech and Maintaining a Civil, Respectful Forum Environment

    For those that do preaching, and such it is not opinion in their eyes. Personally I don't mean to do those things. I'd rather people live as they please if they're not victimizing others.

    Member Survey: The Balance Between Free Speech and Maintaining a Civil, Respectful Forum Environment

    I think proselytizing can be done in a civil manner with respect for people's rights to reject those kinds of efforts. I've recently made a statement that Christianity is a false religion. I got my post shut down here. I still feel it was appropriate. I think it is a factually falsifiable...

    To Be Superior or Not To Be Superior

    Superiority doesn't have to be a spiteful, arrogant looking down on others that may have inferior existence and/or conditions. I just think equality is way more desirable than superiority and a righteous Lord would be about making things equal for all.

    To Be Superior or Not To Be Superior

    It means that there are no limits to what can be done everywhere in existence. Whatever the eternal source is we would have come in contact with however it acts on existence if it were omnipotent. Whatever brought life into existence be it matter/energy or intelligence of some kind is apart of...

    To Be Superior or Not To Be Superior

    It's the religion itself I'm opposed to. The people I take on an individual basis. I actually find ways of getting along with fundamentalist Christians. Some I know are family.

    To Be Superior or Not To Be Superior

    I see Christianity as a blind and false religion. When Christians are a minority, I believe they try to spread their truth. To me when they are a majority they oppress. In my view it threatens eternal hell based on beliefs, and convictions that don't match what it is. It's my conviction that it...

    Romance is a childish invention of poets and writers

    It's a qualitative aspect of being, not an outside force, yes. Love exists within beings and is a quality that influences emotions, and is enduring when emotions come and go. Love , romance, things like that are not strategies. It's opposite a strategy. It's rather selfless within existing...

    Romance is a childish invention of poets and writers

    I've had people tell me that love is merely an emotion. Once the emotion passes then there's nothing there. I was referring to people that think romance is a fairy tale with no basis in reality.

    Romance is a childish invention of poets and writers

    I wasn't implying anything to diminish your experiences. I just don't make the connection with biological reproduction and love and romance.
