I think there is a truth to it. But not a factual truth. Rather like the truths of art, literature or existentialism. I don't love my SO for something she does. And I won't love my future kids because they are "good kids". It's not conditional in any such sense. I don't really believe...

I suppose I share a similarity with someone special in the sense that my favorite hobby is to create worlds for the pure joy of it. I love sociology, psychology, antropology, history, religion, mytholgoy etc. but most of all I love to use this knowledge to create my own fantasy worlds.

I love dancing because it's free spirited and playful. I can't do actual choreography and have failed miserably at every dance course I've taken. But I sure can freestyle. I have a vivid imagination, I don't care about being non-conformist and since I'm a martial artist I can use my body in...

Reading science does develop your reason, so that you can think more clearly about complex matters. Bransches such as biology, psychology, sociology etc. can also provide insights on human nature, what is good for humans and what is bad for humans. So I'm sure science can help you make ethically...

I'm a european and I oppose "my" state and I oppose the European Union. I'm not loyal to any state. That would be to betray my faith. States does not serve the principle of love. They are apparatuses of power, division and oppression. Being a patriot is in fact worshiping false gods.

Oh, please! Why do the people feel the need to disprove evolution with some pseudo-scientific nonsense? You will never win a scientific debate with anyone reasonable schooled in biology. And I can't see the point of it, christian belief has never been about factual claims about physics or...

I don't know. Belief in God for me is not like believing in evolution, or believing in the existence of ghosts or horses. It's not about facts. It's about commitment. It's rather like having faith in love. Well, I would even say it is having faith in love. After all, the only authentic...

I don't really identify with either empiricism nor rationalism, though I'd claim that sensual impressions and mental abstractions are both necessary to produce knowledge. But I would add something that rationalists and empiricists tend to miss, that knowledge is always the result of social and...

I believe an individual require a belief in good in order to be a moral person. But this good does not necessarily has to be percieved as God. But the idea of good and the idea of God are very closely related.

Doesn't work under what condition? In what sense? For whom?

God did not create the world like a carpenter creates a stool, or like a potter fashions a bowl for that sake. He is not a scientist intelligently designing the perfect world in order to impress someone (if so he would have been quite a failure indeed). He is rather like an artists creating...

Naturalism is compatible with free will. I assume that the world is stratified and diverse, both horizontally (different causal forces operating side by side) and vertically (i.e. the level of biology being rooted in, but not reducible to the level of chemistry). I also assume that...

I think legal theorist Evgeny Pashukanis was pretty much right in his "commodity exchange theory of law". He argues that the basic categories of law emerges from commodity exchange. It is well explain here: Oh I can't post links yet, but google: "what is law" pashukanis I am also...

You should not treat another person in a degoratory, humiliating, disrespectful, disparaging or diminishing way. You should treat people with respect. But this is about the content of what you are saying. It is not necessarily about the words that might express a certain content. Just because...

Same goes for Jesus. Christian thought has spawned some of the most totalitarian regimes in history, such as Jean Calvins goverment in Geneva. Countless millions have been oppressed and died in the hands of the church and so called "christians". That does not mean that the ideas of Jesus was...

It doesn't matter to God if people go to church or not. He does not appreciate rituals. He is no friend of idols and fetisches. He couldn't care less about you being some upstanding citizen who works a lot and goes to church a lot. Did Jesus ever do anything of this? He didn't have a job, a...

If you want me to develop my point, just ask me to. It's both rude and an argumentative error to discard people as trolls on the grounds of having a different opinion.

I think the most important thing is understanding your children. Keep getting to know, and accept, acknowledge and love the persons they are and the great potential they possess. This is what will give them a good sense of self. They will, to a very large extent, percieve and understand...

There's many central aspects of christianity that is appealing to me. I love the christian God as he is presented in most parts of the Bible. That is as an anti-God who hates burnt offerings and acts o smug self-righteousness, the enemy of idols, fetishes and graven images of all kinds - gods...
