    Millionaire holds ex-wife in contempt.

    This seems to be more about a ridiculous amount of spite rather than greed.

    As for something that's not a hoax, www.savetoby.com Remember, only YOU can save Toby. In all seriousness I really wish I had thought of it before that guy did.

    The Ladder Theory: Sexual Selection or Pseudo-Science?

    I'm afraid I fail to follow you. My impression of Frankl's work was that little was said about the nature of love and sexuality. Frankl's experience seemed to declare that with the proper why, one could survive life with any how. While Frankl does state that his why was due to his wife, he...

    The Ladder Theory: Sexual Selection or Pseudo-Science?

    Ok, I actually have read Man's Search for Meaning (frankly, I found it to be rather existential, Frankl even quotes Nietzsche) but what parts would be pertinent in this instant?

    Why are Christians so nihilistic about the material world?

    I was cruising some of the ask-the-atheist threads, one of the prevailing notions I'm coming across from Christians is "If you don't believe in God, why does being good matter/why don't you go out and rape and murder/why is life worth living?" My question is why do some Christians become more...

    A Question for Atheists...

    Araith, let me try. There is no absolute or transcendental why for my morality. However, I do have personal whys, social indoctrination whys, empathy whys, and pragmatic whys. Of course, these whys are worthless to most Christians since they lack the almighty supernatural justification...

    Relativism and Nihilism

    Hmm. Last I checked, nihilism asserts all of existence is lacking any inherent value, but it doesn't prefer nothingness to somethingnessese..es.

    Thoughts on Mike Leigh's Naked?

    What did you think of Naked? The travels of the prophet of the apocalypse or a day in the life of a rathole? In [articular, what was the meaning of Sandra's breakdown at the end of the film and the waitress's change of heart?

    Your opinion of nihalism.

    Every action we take is done for pleasurable sensations in our brain. Would you help that old lady across the street if it produced a feeling equivalent to one you get from raping a child? Also, a society where murder was socially acceptable would be a self destructive one, because unchecked...

    Your opinion of nihalism.

    On a personal note, since my nihilism deprives me of all "ought", my overlying motivation for living is simply because it strikes my fancy. In other words, there's no reason for me not to induce pleasurable sensations in my brain. The way I think of what to do with nihilism is "Get busy living...

    Gods in Buddhism?

    More questions on karma: One of the things that is a stumbling block for me in Buddhism is the concept of karma returning to the doer. Principly, the mechanism for any "return" seemed illogical. However, I thought about it and came up with my own interpretation that is probably completely...

    Brazil rejects Bush's faith-based AIDS money

    Um, history shows us that at some point in time, all major powers undergo decline. I don't think the US is exempt from that.
