Morality Theory. Or, to paraphrase Robin Williams, whoa! morality, what a concept. In order to take a true scientific approach to the nature/meaning/origins of morals we have to assume that "morals" are empirically observable. What exactly is a moral? What does one look like? Is it possible we are only using a bucket term to describe a set of concepts surrounding emotionally-driven ...

I hope you'll enjoy them (my songs that is). I am at the moment quite excited about my new microphone (I'm helping a friend with a CD cover design an' he works at a music store, so he get's a heavy rebate and offered me the mike as compensation, so I've worked for it, I'm closin' in on gettin a sound that satisfies me - you know, we're all our own worst critics). I but wanted to add that...

QUOTE(REveritt @ Nov 7 2008, 15:33) QUOTE(Majora @ Nov 6 2008, 23:35) All this sounds like to me is that you're taking offence at a religious poster inside a church. If all it says is that "there is power in the blood of Jesus" and not "Vote for McCain, he's one of us...one of us..." then it's coincidental. Forget separation of the church and state; this was just a ...

I am thoroughly frustrated with all the political noise coming from religious fundamentalists, and especially during election season. Many churches in the US ignore the law by publicly and illegally endorsing candidates for office.

QUOTE(mushin @ Oct 3 2008, 01:56) I'm afraid that I disagree. While scholars on the subject can undoubtedly parse the term into a thousand distinct pieces, atheism simply means a denial of theism. Thus, if I am not a theist, I am an atheist. To deny that theism is true is to affirm that it is false, and so to believe that God doesn't exist. Atheism as the denial of God's ...

QUOTE(Majora @ Oct 2 2008, 01:48) I didn't word my "teleology"question correctly. What I meant is why can't we, rather than saying outright that "God did it", look at science and then apply God afterwards? Alien keeps on saying that religion and science are two completely different things, and by definition they occupy different fields, except that if God created the universe ...

QUOTE(HitbLade @ Aug 30 2008, 02:08) I don't think these minimum wage workers want to work under such conditions. They don't have any other options.

Now they can work as a prostitute with great conditions There is the option ...
