No need to now I suppose. So great. We're on the same page now. So how do you know that any universal is entirely true? Doesn't the problem of...
If you disagree with me that logical processes lead to universals, and that universals do not qualify as undeniable knowledge, then we're not...
Spirit, don't get me wrong, I can't stand deductive reasoning... or inductive for that matter. I'm just trying to get these guys to understand...
I'm starting to wonder exactly what your level of education is. If you have a PhD in street smarts from the school of life, I'm not impressed....
I'm a little surprised that no one has responded to this thread yet. Perhaps it's because existentialism is so difficult to define. Each...
Thank you for your kind words, Jatom. It's nice to be appreciated. And as a matter of fact, I'm going to try to get something published in a...
Venom, would I be correct in assuming that you have never taken a philosophy course in your life? Because I really don't have the time to give...

I've been reading through some of your old posts and, believe it or not, I actually think we can agree on many points. So let's put this petty...
I think that I may have misunderstood what you meant by 'religion.' I went back and read your first post and in it you give two examples of...
Any time. I'm not going to argue that religion and faith are inseparable. You can take all the ceremony and parables out of it and it would...
I'm Catholic.
Whao, hold on a second. I really can't see the connection between a teacher scolding a student, and murding 3000 people. Who's 'level of...
Unreal. I'm a toker from London and I went to King's for first year. I'm on main now though. If you're going into first year and in rez, hope...
It's the same deal. Muslims crashing planes into buildings, the AOG bombing abortion clinics, Sikhs blowing up 747s, it's all the same. All of...
