Yes, forming and deforming, neb by neb without ever knowing whether blows are glancing or even in correct direction and all the while true Christians are confined to baby cribs painting bars with their feces…

Robert,

I don’t want to pile on Simon.

However i am coming at it from slightly different angle. HERO WORSHIP

I don’t have to indicate throughout history what happens when a people worship a hero.  The whole power and checks and balances to counter centralized power …

It is not a great thing.  Even in our day to day lives when we are so very e…[Read more]

“I’m not at all an atheist. I mean, of all the possible theologies, atheism is the least plausible,” he said at the time. “I mean, you’ve got to explain the existence of the universe, and to assume it invented itself or created itself is rather odd.”

Above quote is Charles Krauthammer who is about to die.

Robert, i have not noticed that.

Have seen atheism portrayed that way out of ignorance.  When on attack it can be a way of asserting that absence of belief requires faith.

Ya hook up with a sadist.

The golden rule is like golden honey.  Show me your brain and i will show you the money-unless that is you are a psychopath.  But don’t forget that the so called universal need for sex is not present in asexuals.  So a foolish consistency is the hobgoblin…

Robert, yes i think there would be less religion and fewer adherents of JP.

It is interesting to note how seemingly illusive is a clear definition of philosophy.  I think in common parlance when one uses the word philosophical as an adjective there is a bit of the impractical and contemplative being conveyed or even resignation to one’s fate…[Read more]

Sorry Unseen but my goat is not biting.  You gotta do much better than that.

Okay Davis, points taken.  I was only vaguely aware of B.

Geesh..thanks for nuthin Reg…how bout a cup of hemlock instead?…what a contrast between Bhoggosian and JP…the former clear-thinking…no bs…the latter an unfortunate mental patient…

My only quibble with B is that having faith is a bit worse than he portrays it…it is reckless, lazy and negligent.

Here is my philosophy of life…i dont pretend to know shit that is unknowable or unknown…i treat people well until i have reason to not…i savor the existentially delicious moments and the few people i care for…i have helped so many to my detriment but i try to avoid having that make me bitter…

Oh yeah and as to the priests,  majority of…[Read more]

Unseen, are you addressing your employee?

I would have had to search for it same as you.  In the time you wrote me you could have found it.

A simple thank you would have been appropriate.

It is the  vid in which JP says he does not want to be boxed in…

The vid is in the discussion started by Bellen asking what we think of JP.

Belen, if he has given advice to help you deal with your son’s psychopathy that is wonderful.  I can understand how that might influence your perception of the guy.

Davis,  for all of the naysayers who devalue philosophy you illustrate its significance.  CRITICAL THINKING

Anyone who has seriously learned about philosophy is less apt to be drawn in by a guy like JP.
