Thanks. I put a bit of thought into it.

No it's not. When you live in society, you abide by rules, and in return you are given things. Money, shelter, life, etc. When you break those rules, some of your rights are taken away. When work hard you are rewarded for this, as it is part of societies unspoken contract with you. And when you steal from society,…
Honestly, posting here is just good practice for philosophy essays, though only if you do it right.
A sane voice in the ocean of hate that is the internet. Anyway, well done my man/woman, well done.
The problem of infinite regress has been looked at. I apologise if I am simply regaling onto you knowledge which you already possess, but here goes. If the universe extended back to infinity, that must mean that everything that could have ever happened has already happened. This then means that things will start to go…
The point of these (some rather bad, others very much so) arguments is to show that God does exist. It does not prove a theistic God, but you must first lay the foundations before you build a temple. From there, they do require a leap of faith, but a rather smaller one than if no effort at all was made to prove/point…
I presume then that you don't know of the "perfect island" argument? If you indeed do and are just doing this post as satire with knowledge of how the argument works, then I apologise. If not, I suggest you look it up. The argument is still horrendously bad, however, it does manage to overcome (partly) your point.…
The top one is definitely one of the great problems for God's existence. But if he's revealed himself, then they aren't really, by definition, crazy nuts. In fact, they're perfectly rational. Following from there then, if they're sane, then God has revealed himself countless times to us, and many just don't listen. As…
Bravo my dear fellow! To the point, and non-snarky. I find insults to the detriment of arguments, being lv. 0 or 1 arguments. Much better than most others on the internet.
So? The Kalam cosmological argument stands as a solid argument for the existence of God. Not a loving God. Not the God of Muslims, Christians or Jews. Not the God of any religion. Just a supreme being whom many choose to worship. Its the same God, just not the same deeds. That's why they're faiths. And of course the…
...Do you perchance know any market people whom are particularly easy to influence? And is it possible to make Jagers?
Hello future master of our future robot overlords. I remember hearing about robots that have achieved the process of truly learning by themselves with computer architectures similar to our own, rather than the the prevalent architecture, which is basically a big calculator. I have also heard of people designing robots…
You take that back. Ambercombie is good, but he's no Pratchett... Respecting other peoples' opinions my ass.
The planets were known for millennia. He directly observed them, i.e. got a close look, but the early astronomers still knew they were there.
Yes, but they had observed the planets before. I'm pretty sure that he knew what they were about. And Galileo didn't know, he made a (correct) conclusion, but it wasn't until we landed on the moon, and by extension, Mars, that we truly knew.
Bullcrap. Everyone forgets Aristarchus. He suspected this millennia ago. At least, the idea of stars being like our sun, and so on.
I think so, because he was still scared of him for a while, and he never told anyone who taught him out of fear and respect, so I guess so. With the Buddha though, I think what it was trying to show was that he didn't even need to fight the Monkey King to subdue him. Fighting is beneath the Buddha, or something like…
No, I mean the guy who showed him how to really cloud hop. Not the monk. The one who taught him all of those secret techniques (and I mean the book).
True, but his master would still beat the living daylights out of him.
Does anyone know if the program they use for these sorts of things is available for download? Because I really want to get one.
