If your ancestors had done that, you wouldn't be here today- we wouldn't have computers, or electricity- you, like many children long ago, would most likely die before you reached the age of 12. certainly there is some benefit to be had by reflecting on the universe. I've always believed that understanding the universe is understanding the nature of God. dadman1240: I'll re-display the context of my thread since there are those here who are unable to comprehend it or even to respond to it ........ ....... http://dadmansabode.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=760#p760 << come and learn let's see who has an attention span ajb911: don't you know dadnan1240 Christianity is the lie the devil created to fool you suckers to join him in hell. LiptonCambell: Yea....sounds like spam...I mean, you create a thread, but won't discuss the ideas within the thread unless we go to an off-site link. At best it's spam....at worst, you're trying to push malware or virus's. So no. I'm not going to visit your site. You've given me no reason to. ghostgeek: Funny how you can get the wrong idea about something. There was me thinking this was going to be a thread about philosophy and what do I find? Dadman going on about Jesus again. Oh well, perhaps I'll find someone discussing philosophy in the religion forum. dadman1240: it might be wrong it might not be wrong .... it's just incomplete ... horizontal and empty ...... you still scamming? (Edited by dadman1240) LiptonCambell: .....why? I think, a page into your thread, you should at least be able to explain your position. Not 'philosophy is wrong', but 'philosophy is wrong BECAUSE....' Why should philosophy be shunned? Isn't there anything good to be gained from it? Wikipedia says; Philosophy is the study of general and fundamental problems, such as those connected with reality, existence, knowledge, values, reason, mind, and language. Philosophy is distinguished from other ways of addressing such problems by its critical, generally systematic approach and its reliance on rational argument ... The word "philosophy" comes from the Ancient Greek φιλοσοφία (philosophia), which literally means "love of wisdom". -- With that in mind, what is wrong with philosophy? Shouldn't people reflect and study on such concepts of knowledge, and reason? Do you oppose critical thought? LiptonCambell: It honestly seems like you misunderstand philosophy entirely, and are just grandstanding for your religion, rather than talking about the topic YOU started dadman1240: I'll pitch the wisdom from above over the horizontal philosophies of man any day .... > http://dadmansabode.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=702#p702 << come and learn | Philosophy Chat Room 10 People Chatting Similar Conversations |
