TT, enjoyed that, tfpu.

.....

Splitter, you gotta grow a thicker skin - if you want to last around here. The good news in the moment is, I no longer suspect you as a new alias of Trip7 or IllusionDweller.

EDIT Can anyone remind me what Trip7's other alias was - I'm drawing a blank.

re: extremists

I've seen this before. But it seems esp apropos today...


Traditional Muslim ideology is a scourge on the modern 21st century world.

P.S. What did you post, Norton, it doesn't appear in my browser; hope it wasn't an Emma Watson nude! ;)

Werner, potential progress here, don't f*#k it up!

I say: God is the equation .........

If your "God" could be extended to (the fullness of) Mother Nature (whom I sometimes, after personfication, call "God" for her awesomeness and bounty and "higher powers") then we could be in agreement, here! :)

If you're ever in Billings, Montana there's a group called the Humanists.

They are atheists who maintain that being good, and doing good without fear or favor making you do it is a far far nobler thing.

what is new in religion?
what is new in philosophy?
how are those areas progressing?

Ed this is a really good question


In Philosophy you are seeing more in the way of “Applied Philosophy” such as Bioethics, Environmental Ethics and Business Ethics. An interesting development is in the area of the new Philosophy of Cosmology

http://www.philosophy.ox.ac.uk/news__events/older_news/philosophy_of_cosmology_-_new_field_of_study

http://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2012/01/what-happened-before-the-big-bang-the-new-philosophy-of-cosmology/251608/

http://philocosmology.rutgers.edu/

Religion is harder to drill down, weighed down as such by the usual suspects. If, as is the context of this thread, religion = Christianity the last few years there has been the development of "New Christianity", "the Emergent Church" and "Generous Orthodoxy".

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emerging_church

How are they progressing? I believe you will be hearing more out of the Philosophers Camp as it connects to the New Atheists – BTW I purposefully steered away from anything with the vestiges of “Religion.”

Biblical Epistemology & Archaeology I think is a most interesting if not contentious subject

HFCS & jstan,

No need to apologize. Corn spirit has this deep desire not to let people appropriate words. He opposes evolution in language. Just a flaw, something we all have.

If you want to communicate effectively you have always to bear in mind what the reader thinks the words you use mean. If you want to be understood you choose another word.

HFCS also seems to feel a good discussion must include sharp edges and emotion. Try following those rules when you are talking to the judge.

In a discussion everyone is a judge

You can mention cleaning only if you are willing to get a progress report.

Robert Fonda, Dave Beruman and myself are working on The Pit in JT. We finished clearing the 18 acres on Tuesday. Here is what we did all of today.


Another half day will get the whole thing sorted for recycling and bagged for the land fill. The rats and mice have chewed everything to bits. I now know everything there is to know about JT climbers. It is not pretty. More about that later.

By Friday we should be caravaning this and the clearly abandoned junk to Landers. Hopefully the dump personnel will not run screaming into the desert as we approach.

Wish us luck.

I thought this discussion was interesting. Atheist and non atheist users of the psychedelic compound dymethyltryptamine discuss "spiritual experiences" induced by the molecule. Visions of entities and extreme other worldly technologies are common during the experience

Is it ok to link to other forums? https://www.dmt-nexus.me/forum/default.aspx?g=posts&t=32694

Dawkins has taken flak for characterizing religious indoctrination of children as “child abuse.” Well, look at this picture and deny it.

"...the brain of this boy is being warped and twisted by vicious Muslim ideology. What hope does he have when he grows up?"

Islamic ideology is the scourge of the modern world. What, don't believe it, read the Quran for yourself. Better, study it.

Agnostics lack the courage of conviction that both Atheists and Theists have.

But they are evolving.
