I was debating with someone over the God paradoxes that stem from God being all powerful and all knowing. Two examples of these are: "Can God make a problem so difficult that he himself cannot solve it?" "Can God make a rock so hard to lift that he himself cannot lift it?" The person I was...

"You're looking for an absolute, and there isn't one" is what my teacher said after I asked her what "should" means. I am currently taking an ethics class, and I'm having a hard time. I'm trying to get some definitions of the words that we're using, but all I'm getting one word definitions...

It's either: 1) Suicidal people paying doctors to kill them is like a bank paying the police to take money out of its vaults. or 2) Hiring a doctor as a hit man, is like a bank-robber paying the police to take money out of its vaults. If you mean 1, then I don't see the problem. The bank is...

How have your beliefs changed? In what way do you ignore Jesus? And btw, throw away any ciggarette you come in contact with. Rip them up and put them in the trash where they belong.

Therefore, churches are immoral to you. Or rather, the specific aspects of the chuches that annoy you are immoral to you.

I don't see how there can be a "why?" in this. I think a "what?" would be more appropriate. For example, someone says that a woman is beautiful. The question is, what aspect of her is beautiful to you? Her eyes? Then her eye's are beautiful. Etc. If someone asked me "why are her eyes beautiful...

That just blew my mind. Well, I can understand what beautiful is. Beautiful: is that which brings positive feelings to a person (assumably the person talking). Wrong on the other hand, is a more mysterious word. Wrong, like beautiful, can be said to be subjective. But what is wrong...

The words I posted don't have a set definitions, rather they're just placeholders for anything anyone wants to say they are. Or other words, they can mean anything, so they mean nothing.

The thing is, I am taking an ethics class and I'm confused with what ethics actually means. I wanted someone to clear that up for me by telling me the words' definitions. That's why I started this thread. Today I asked my ethics teacher what the definition of good was. She said there wasn't...

I don't know what "one of those things" refers to, so I can't say.

I don't know what "morality", "ethics" are. I don't know what "good", "right, "moral" are. I don't know what "bad", "evi", "wrong", "immoral" are. As far as I'm concerned, these words have no meaning. If I'm wrong, can anyone clear this up for me?

I think that this is wrong, and that JonF is right. Calling something supernatural as opposed to natural is saying that the supernatural thing is the first cause (acausal). For example, the concept "soul" is supernatural, because it is defined as a thing that is fundamentally acausal, hence it...

I assumed shooting yourself meant suicide. But, anyway, how about making the price higher for saving the most important person in your life? Let's raise the ante to say... 1. amputation of one of your limbs 2. taking a pill that will make you blind 3. severing your spinal chord to become a...

I'm more important to me than anyone else.

I'm more important to me than my family.
