thank you for the comment. it was working before - 4400 viewers cant be wrong - but it seems to be that youtube messed it up. i contacted the tech department of youtube. thank you.
If you reject the reality of a universal signifier then all thought and speech are indeed just semantics.
Wow! A contemporary philosopher quoting Chesterton! I was into GKC decades ago, when he was thought of by philosophy professors as a washed-up, old-fashioned, irrelevant Catholic apologist.
Great, it works now. Thanks a lot!
why quote Ahmadinejad? he contradicts himself when he says why do we need WMD when He is trying to make one
@GoldenBoughTrader as far as i'm concerned (not much though, but enough), it's hard to do hardly anything over the internet. i mean action.
so i hope that at the moment you wrote your words,you knew that you will not be able to act about anything in anyway. so act in your local or temporal area.
Because the topic is about what he is saying, not his gesture... you wanna discuss that?
@remittancegirl he is nn engineer and teacher. so he is at least educated despite his political failings.
@zarahFO
Dawkins is almost 100% right. So is Zizak. From their respective point of views.
We either or or? I like them both.
So god is irrational? Which means he is not good or anything. He just does things random. Why believe in him? Why pray to him? This would for me be the first prove that there is no god.
And if you believe in that part of the bible, then most other versions of god (mainly the benevolent god) are wrong. You may end up in some kind of deism - but you can't be a believer in the Christian god (and neither in the Islamic god).
just a simple battle of semantics
Well, just be happy YOU are soooo spiritually aware. You obviously know nothing about the subject at hand or the broader themes of philosophy, since you're focusing on some superficial reading of a persons "spirituality"; 'new age' crap basically....
What's wrong with his nose?
re: post nasal drip
he does seem a bit 'jacked up'...
why is he so nervous? look at this gestures, rapid hand movements and everything. something's not right. is he on drugs or something?
