If Yahweh is three persons, I can beat that. I’m nine persons and I don’t need mathematics to prove it. I’m a son, a brother, a father, a grandfather, and a great grandfather. I’m also an ex-husband, an uncle, and a grand uncle. I’m also a self.
An omnipotent and omniscient being would know how to prove himself without resorting to revealing…[Read more]

If Man is five, if Man is five
If Man is five, then the Devil is six
Then the Devil is six, then the Devil is six
The Devil is six, and if the Devil is six
Then God is seven! Then God is seven!
Then God is seven!This monkey’s gone to heaven.

It sounds like an arbitrary quirk of number theory.

I disagree. One can go from happiness to being distraught in a millisecond, without the state of things changing at all.A state of being is not a “state of things.” It’s about how one IS. At one moment being happy and a millisecond later of being distraught. A state of being describes ones state at a particular time, which can…[Read more]

Yeah, and this is also why some say we need a god…watching, looking, keeping score.We’re all monitored and evaluated the entire time, by ourselves and everybody who knows us. There’s a big eye watching us all the time, and it’s called the human race.

Review and Confirm Proof Here.I think it’s interesting, but I don’t see what it has to do with anything. Anybody can draw any shape onto any map of the landscape, and call it significant.

If it is apparent that the image of a copyrighted painting was an input to an algorithm, you have probably violated the creator. However, the laws are behind the times and AI databases that “rip-off” IP will be dealt with in the future.Incidentally, AI generated art cannot be copywrited as no human created it, LOL.

Let no one be found among you who sacrifices their son or daughter in the fire, who practices divination or sorcery, interprets omens, engages in witchcraft, or casts spells, or who is a medium or spiritist or who consults the dead. Anyone who does these things is detestable to the Lord; because of these same detestable practices the Lord your…[Read more]

I agree emotions do play a role in morality because we are not Vulcans.A belief in determinism helps one to leave emotion out of decisions because a determinist isn’t thinking in terms of praise and blame. His behavior will be more in terms of fixing things.

however for those who only make good choices for recognition or some other form of payback you might say the ends justify the means. It is still weak morality, IMHO.Some people say that something good done for its own sake is the only kind of real virtue.
