You have assumed that there is something called "The Truth" which is limitless and beyond everyday usage of the word. Why do you think this is...
Then "truth" is merely another word for opinion. And, since I can only express my opinion and I cannot experience "your" reality, then it is...
Truth is a quality of a statement. A statement is either true or false. A true statement is one that corresponds to objective reality. So, if a...
I agree that it was not without substance. And yes, the "love me or else" reaction is what many people encounter with modern Christianity. The...
I am not Campbell, but I will try and give you a well reasoned response. [i] Your analogy is seriously flawed. God does not say "love me or...
I am going to try a slightly different approach here. Though I really like Portalguy's answer, I am going to present another side of the coin. It...
Hey, y'all. Haven't posted in a while, but thought I would jump in real quick. Yeah, Heron... I agree. That was pretty confusing. Jesus Christ...

For the Roman world, the cross was a humiliating death. More than just embarrassment, a crucifixion was a status degredation ritual. From being...
Could you define "nature" please? Do you believe that something could exist without time? That something could exist independent of all the...
Existance would be a quality or state of something. It is the state of "is". A thing might exist or might not exist, but "is" by itself is an...
I see what you are saying. Numbers, in the sense you are describing, categorize relationships of entities in nature in the same way that logic...
It does help. Thanks! I don't disagree with you at all. We both put a lot of stock in logic, reasoning, and critical thinking when discussing...
Ahh I see. Then we are in agreement I think when it comes to inductive reasoning. I just wanted to clarify that specific point regarding...
Well, let's look at it logically. :) Logic (and by that I think we all mean Formal Logic.. you yourself mention the Law of Non-Contradiction...
