Gringinho, I'm intrigued as to what your point actually is. If Philosophy uses cause-effect and logics to reason about the universe as you say, then it is reasonable in that same philosophy to postulate everything is inescapably dependant upon existence. "sure, the abstract idea or concept of...

I agree with you philosophy can be fun , but only when based upon some logical arrangements can it become meaningful. My opinion is the quote is not meaningful. It is easy to say [.....fill this space] transcends existence, it doesn't mean anything and it doesn't explain anything. It...

With respect Gringinho, I am not sure you have thought this through. When you say "axioms exists within systems/models" did it not occur to you that the first two words of that statement confirmed the point I was trying to make in my previous post? It is also therefore the case that...

I don't agree. Unlike the concept of "nothingness" or the topic "nothing", existence exists is an axiom. It is an irreducible primary, and as such, a foundation of that philisophical all knowledge you mention . In philosiphy - it is a statement to which no more of a basic premise can be...

" Collins was looking for answers,[science] and when he didn't find them (or more likely didn't care for the answers he found), he turned to superstition.[religion]"

Maybe "we" should stop messing around with stuff like the Pledge of Alligence. Maybe "we" should be a little more American. A little more inclusive, a little less sectarian and a little less of a discriminatory christian bore. The 1923 Pledge will do just fine. "I pledge allegiance...

The writ of habeas corpus under Common Law is the crucial key to those checks and balances you mention. An American citizen has no means to be found as such when no person is allowed to have any hearing in order to seek relief from unlawful detention on foreign soil. The cornerstone of freedom...

Your questions suggest the people of our civilized culture, our democracy which are essentially based on the rule of common law, need acquiesce to its core fundamental grounding principles being de-assembled in order to keep it in tact. That is first off outrageous and of course obviously...

As an American, shouldn't the very principles at stake mean more to you than shenanigans embedded within corruptions of political expediencies? Are you really so concerned about what some freak left winger worries about enough to make you think the only way to respond is to take an opposite...

Bullshit. The Courts questioned the right of Congress in thier suspending aspects of common law, whether they were exceeding the bounds of the Constitution and Suspension Clause. They uphold their learn-ed and considered findings and so they should. Supreme Court Upholds Right to Own A Gun...

...you know it's funny, I thought you'd say that.

...agreed. Unless it's considered reasonable that a person can actually acquire genetic stock from a fictional character in a story book, I would say to be a jew is to have specific cultural and religious ties, and is not a question of race in the usual sense of the word. Warren Buffet...

perhaps it's because jew is only 25% of noncommittal, but easier for the more simple-minded to spell.

I think one reason why you always make so many ridiculous comments, claims and assertions, is that you don't, can't or won't read properly. Either that or you are so busy trying to spin for christianity, your comprehension on what it is that's actually being said, is totally dog's dinner...

....aready mentioned in a previous post Seneca, ..but it won't make any difference anyway for jem. His reply, as always, is to rush blindly for a disconnect toward something else, during the process of which he applies the most atrocious grammar and spelling, as happened on cue (quote)...

..tell me about it. what can you say... and most of them actually PAY to be whined at. What's that all about?

your arguments are tediously repetitive circular and therefore always end up being boring . Common law was formed within the context of many things. Some of which are far more basic and fundamental than Christianity. Furthermore, Common Law was established before Christianity was thought...

Then it can be equally said common law was formed within the context of business and commerce. Formed within the context of atheists and theists. Formed within the context of deception and theft. Formed within the context of honesty and truthfulness. Your "formed within the context of...

Well I can’t wear you down as I trust I’m on ignore , so up yours ratty. Estimated 3 million victims murdered by Stalin. Scholars, scientists, cultural leaders, artists, (including said 200, 000 (6%) clergy), Of all groups, rich and poor, aristocricy and peasants, agnostics theists...

That means your "christian genocide" was actually targetted against 60 to 40 million people who were not christian, including atheist. So those 100 million people were not exterminated because they were christian. Your claim invalidates itself. You tosser.
