  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

    Can I do something that God doesn't know about?

    Yeah, and I kind of laugh at your pathetic leaps of logic. Fail for trying to invoke image of a marionette without realizing the impact of the marionette on the audience. You can't just remove yourself from the complex of cause and effect. As far as I'm concerned, if that's the conclusion...

    Nietzsche's application of nihilism.

    I think it would be a mistake to say that anyone is the Overman. It is a continual process of self-overcoming. Some would argue that Zarathustra "becomes" the Overman, and some would argue that there are purposefully no real examples of the Overman in Nietzsche's writings. Regardless, TSZ...

    Philosophical Society Ideas

    Um, I think you missed the point. Christianity is built out of a large number of non-negotiables. A philosophy should have as few non-negotiables as possible, and only those that are necessary for it to be viable. Otherwise it stops being an explanation and starts being a collection of assertions.

    Philosophical Society Ideas

    Unfortunately, having too many "non-negotiables" is one of the major reasons that philosophies get criticized, and Christianity has a heck of a lot of them. I'm not quite sure what you mean here. By pre-philosophical starting points are you referring to beliefs held before one starts...

    Favorite philosophers?

    I'm pretty sure I said "less religiously" not "more religiously". :P

    Favorite philosophers?

    Or to put it less, uh, religiously, philosophy is about making arguments. Jesus mostly just stated things without a lot of thorough reasoning.

    The god who (once again) wasn't there: Virginia Tech

    And I suppose you think that there is a reason why having free will would require me to surpass any limitations I might have that prevent me from feeling hatred?

    The god who (once again) wasn't there: Virginia Tech

    I am unable to turn into a 50 foot python. I am physically unable to do so. Do I have free will?

    The people are just animals issue

    There are a lot of statements in that, but I don't see any arguments or justifications. Assuming that the categories you're talking about are pertinent to the discussion, is there some reason why I should care that I am in a different category?

    Pornography and Freedom of Speech

    Well first of all, a lot of people would argue that a work that tries to make you lust after it isn't even art. Furthermore a lot of the time people will slam a work by saying that it is pornography AS OPPOSED TO art.

    The god who (once again) wasn't there: Virginia Tech

    The absence of love doesn't imply hatred. Nobody would be forced to love if they were unable to hate. I really don't like arguments centered on free will. I mean, if you can prove that free will even exists, then please do. But aside from that, the arguments are wishy-washy and based on a lot...

    Marx Is Dead, Long Live Marx!

    Well, fortunately, what you prefer doesn't matter when you prefer that other people don't get to have a preference. I don't see why this is so interesting. There are multiple Communist parties in a lot of places, because they have distinct ideologies.
