Just a brief look at the thread so far.
Readings from rhuberome and retro active, quotes of the thread
Comments by me.
“ principium universitatis, in the Thomist sense” A good education?
“Philosophical materialism has become obese and is ready for a heart attack too”
More paralysis less analysis?
“The best moments I've ever experienced transcended reason. I'm really struggling to grasp where you're at.”
Your disappearing into each others intellectual parameters?
“Throw in the Chaldeans and Hyksos among many other Semetic tribes and the question of who the Jews were gets more interesting”.
The thread heading is “does god exist” framed as a poll
.
“The more we learn about nature the more we exploit and abuse her certainly.”
Oh dear, knowledge is power, power corrupts. “I did it because I could” theorem.
“Furthermore you seem to think that in the absence of faith and religion, humans are like depraved and wild animals, without any conscience of virtue and vice, right and wrong in civil relations and beholden only to a vapid self-interest”.
Well, this is what the Pope thinks, take away religion and we descend into a pit of nihilistic despair.
“Your an intriguing fellow” I think this means you like each other.
"In fact incipient Christianity is Greek, not Hebrew, in both its etymological and cultural parameters." Origins of racism?
Have you ever studied Pythagoras at all rhub.? I'm taking a guess you both have...
“My head hurts”. Looks like you finally done each other over, intellectually speaking!
God alive! (no pun intended). This forum is extravagantly bipolar in nature, it swings like a pendulum from the sublime to the ridiculous or to put it another way from an intellectual quagmire to inane troll-dome. With little betwixt.
