Re: Is Bill O'Reilly REALLY this brain washed?
The triune God thing is not the most fucked up part about Christian metaphysics. In fact, it's probably the least fucked up part. Bill Maher was taken aback when one guy he was talking to said "Yeah, like how water can exist in three different states: solid, liquid, and gas." (and plasma... but neve...

Re: Is Bill O'Reilly REALLY this brain washed?
The fact that O'Reilly thinks Jesus is God is rather puzzling and odd to say the least. At least read the fucking 'story' correctly. What? :confused: Why do you think that's an incorrect reading of the story? Do you even understand what Christianity is? They think the dude *is* God... If anything, ...

Re: Is Bill O'Reilly REALLY this brain washed?
Not to switch the subject, but I actually think people like Mos Def are more insidious and dangerous than the O'Reillys of the world, see: dsGUYnFAvdY The problem there isn't necessarily the left-liberal viewpoint he takes, but that he takes it in roughly the same way that Bill O'Reilly takes conser...

Re: Is Bill O'Reilly REALLY this brain washed?
Nice old clip. Hoka's probably right -- the way that O'Reilly comes across there is that he's smarter than he lets on... and he knows the character he plays on TV (an exaggerated version of who he probably really is) is supposed to hold to a certain line and act in a certain way, and he sees Dawkins...

so Bob, there's nowhere where you could go and volunteer a few hours a day or nowhere that you could go for an entry level or bottom of the pile job? Anything?

Re: The Afterlife - Javier style
Parfit cares a lot about suffering and thinks everyone should. He goes to great lengths to argue that no one deserves to suffer, and that we ought to act according to principles that make things go best for everyone. You're right to notice that he seems to want things to be better now , or as soon a...

Thanks for the time and effort you put into responding to my questions and suggestions.

Re: The Afterlife - Javier style
It was a tricky point about language. I was saying that since according to your own view you can't actually think about the thing you think might be possible, then we can't even say whether it's possible or not. We can't say anything. what I was able to write isn't what I was trying to express, I t...

Re: The Afterlife - Javier style
I don't believe in an afterlife. I think it's because there wasn't much religion in my house to influence this sort of thought. Not much church going either. My father told me that a person's body just decomposes and becomes particles. My mother is a little religious and sometimes goes to church, b...

You're not exactly wrong (I mean, I don't think you're right, but it's not like it's just a simple thing...). Immanuel Kant would be on your side here.

I don't want an afterlife. I want to be immortal. I reckon you've got more chance of an afterlife that you like, than any real chance of immortality that science or some other mystical force can provide.

The thing with the girl and Polanski is weird. He's not a pedophile (in that he doesn't have a clinical sexual fascination with children), and he doesn't seem to have forcibly raped the girl. Yes, it's really wrong that she was far underage, and he made things far worse for himself by leaving the co...

Are you looking for all those features? Trem bridge, locking trem, wood type, shape? Or are you just looking for a reasonable solid body?
