    Concepts of Our Shared Reality, and Conspiracy Theories

    This whole site, is about Christian apologetics. The input fodder, may be in different categories (such as recent news and articles), but the whole site is about Christian apologetics. I refer to Kant, as he is an example of a non-Christian, and has a coherent moral-ethical model, with many...

    Concepts of Our Shared Reality, and Conspiracy Theories

    I hold to my objections. This is a Christian apologetics site. And to engage in questions about core Christian doctrines, requires defined concepts. I am not attempting to make this thread "work" in the context of modern American politics, or as to what some readers would describe as being...

    Concepts of Our Shared Reality, and Conspiracy Theories

    My argument is that being familiar with the discipline of Epistemology, is a great advantage (to me) in talking about questions of what truth is (not particularly, being a theist or Christian, is a great advantage in talking about questions of what truth is). I am making the point that...

    Concepts of Our Shared Reality, and Conspiracy Theories

    You're talking about specific questions or topics. I'm talking about a bigger reality, that the ancient philosophers described as the two world situation. Personal opinions, are NOT the same as reality. You are arguing that, because younger Americans have ditch formal logic, and...

    Concepts of Our Shared Reality, and Conspiracy Theories

    I believe that I explained what I mean, when I use the phrase "our shared reality". I mentioned the two world concept of the ancient philosophers, and Kant's belief that all human beings perceive relity in the same way. I also included the caveat that we all have free will, and can choose to...

    Concepts of Our Shared Reality, and Conspiracy Theories

    You're using so many undefined phrases, and generalizations, that I don't know how to respond to your comment. What do big data metrics have to do with truth? What "AIs" are you referring to? What is the madness that you are referring to? What is the collective soul that you are referencing...

    Concepts of Our Shared Reality, and Conspiracy Theories

    My use of the English word "reality" is more like the ancient philosophers who spoke of "two worlds", and Kant's approach to describing how human beings perceive reality. The "two world concept" is that what we, as human beings perceive, is one "world", while the hidden reality behind our...

    Russia says deeper U.S. hybrid war using Ukraine will end in Vietnam-style humiliation

    Russia, also, lost a war in Afghanistan. Kokav often presents pro-Russian articles and analysis. A number of the points in the article, are standard Russian propaganda points. I would like to see Christian analysis, not simply quoting Russian articles.

    Ukrainian assault boats ‘destroyed’ & Moscow threatens to target ‘Western weapons’

    Kokavkrystallos regular posts pro-Russian messages. I would like to see more articles from Western news sources.

    The Pro Palestinian protests and news thread

    What is the point of the post? People will "protest" against almost anything. And, the protesters often use arguments that do not make sense. There are demonstrations in Islamic countries against Israel and America. And all sorts of ridiculous arguments are used by the protesters. Christians...

    IRRECONCILABLE DIFFERENCES?: Public Opinion Shifts on Ukraine-Russia, Israel-Hamas Wars

    This article is one man's opinion. I think that many citizens in America have a very short attention span, and a very poor knowledge of history. I think that boredom, and exhaustion, are at least as strong dynamics determining what the "average" American citizen thinks about these topics.

    Nuclear Strike "most likely" Coming!

    Putin, and the ruler of North Korea, say a lot of things. You should present them as "saying" certain things. But, it is a mistake to take these statements as real statements of intention by Putin, or the lead of Communist China, or the imam of Iran.

    Can we be in two different places at once?

    I have no idea where you are getting the idea, that the Bible presents 2 different realities (what is objective, and what is subjective). It is true that we each perceive our shared reality, with our senses, and in slightly different ways (we are each, bodily, in a different location in our...

    Concepts of Our Shared Reality, and Conspiracy Theories

    I actively engage on Christian apologetics sites. And that includes promoting a sound model of Epistemology (what is truth, and how should we test an opinion/belief to see if it is true?). A practical model of our shared reality, truth, and how we test some proposition to see if it is true, has...

    I have evolved, don't think or believe as I did years ago RE Christianity, etc..

    I think that you'e too much into conspiracy theories. A basic principle is that the sacraments are valid, even though an individual priest is not orthodox. I would stick the to core Christian doctrines, such as the Nicene Creed.

    Marrying a non Christian girl / Corinthians discussion (help!!!)

    Most of the verses that you mention, are addressed to those who are already married (not to single people). They do not apply to your situation. When Paul says that a Christian should not be married to a non-Christian, this applies to those who are not yet married. A C-----hristian should not...

    Can we be in two different places at once?

    Subatomic particle characteristics, are very different than supertonic object characteristics. To connect this subject with Christians doctrine... -- the Bible presents that we live in a shared reality -- the Bible presents "lying" as misrepresenting our shared reality (this would be...

    Rise of the 'AI god'

    Calling each new popular buzzword in America, a "god", is unbalanced. I don't view this post as a logical one.

    The Myth of AI

    The article is interesting, but does not precisely describe the problems with the sensational MISUNDERSTANDINGS among American citizens, as to what artificial intelligence is, or what its dangers are. For those who are not familiar with the historical development of artificial intelligence, I...

    Whatever your politics; Biden talking is a nightmare

    Biden's style of rhetoric, is 50 years out of date. His rhetoric has a lot of substance in it, though. I will take the substance of Biden, over the "hang people by the neck" rhetoric of Trump.
