    And yes, there are good bits in all 'holy' books. It doesn't make one better than the other though, and frankly all the rubbish bits negate any nice poems or prose in the first place.

    P.S. Good to see your post again. Yous been missed  parrot


    you sir are a moron. You cannot read the bible as 'bits' the complete bible is brilliant literature and there is an entire academic subject devoted to comparing literature.

    I was interested in philosophy in my late teens and early twenties and this thread has reminded me of why I generally dislike it. Purely from my laymen perspective (no offence to enthusiasts like Z10) you could play the semantics game and justify any garbage, like Hamza Tsortzis does.


    Let me repeat I am no philosopher, I  have no talent in philosophy and am NOT discussing philosophy. Also even a laymen like me could confidently point out that Hamza Tsortzis  is no philosopher and if he dared to face any true philosopher he would be embarrassed, he weaves pure sophistry. He is a sophist (the name that the Greeces gave to the likes of Hamza) and not a good one at that.

    Blasphemy was very much alive and well until recently. Heck even Charles Darwin realised that his work pretty much topped the blasphemy list and attempted to tone down later editions of his book to avoid the social ramifications such research would bring.


    I am drawing a strict distinction between the church (which was an arm of the monarch ergo all politics) and Christianity the orthodox religion. Free thinking is an integral part of Christianity, you can go as far as doubting god  or even the motives of Jesus in fact allot of the old philosophers where Christians St Augustine, St Aquinas etc.

    contrawice...if it was so, it might be; and if it where so, it would be but as it isn't, it aint. Thats logic

    Alice: What a funny watch! It tells the day of the month, and it doesn't tell what o'clock it is!
    The Hatter: Why should it? Does your watch tell you what year it is?
    Alice: Of course not, but that's because it stays the same year for such a long time together.

    The Duchess: Be what you would seem to be -- or, if you'd like it put more simply -- Never imagine yourself not to be otherwise than what it might appear to others that what you were or might have been was not otherwise than what you had been would have appeared to them to be otherwise.
    Alice: I think I should understand that better, if I had it written down: but I can't quite follow it as you say it.

    March Hare: …Then you should say what you mean.
    Alice: I do; at least - at least I mean what I say -- that's the same thing, you know.
    Hatter: Not the same thing a bit! Why, you might just as well say that, 'I see what I eat' is the same as 'I eat what I see'!
    March Hare: You might just as well say, that "I like what I get" is the same thing as "I get what I like"!

    You talk about semantics and words--- rationality IS language and language can be reduced to nonsense (absurdity). Science is an invention of our rational it can also be reduced to nonsense. As to the argument that science works---who says nonsense cant work or that meaning cant be find in it

    I came across this interesting overview of a debate that took place on dawkins site. In all honesty I myself did not understand half of it but got a jist of what the debate was about. Since joining the ex-Muslims I have found that more then the majority of ex-Muslims have the same story to tell. The story has no scene setting or extensive development and the plot is contained within a single word- Science . From the start I never understood how a person could honestly call themselves atheists simply because they 'found' science. Allot of these atheists claim to be rational but show no rationality at all, more like hungry dogs chewing on the bone thinking that it would subside there hunger. They swallow entire spoonfuls of data given to them on a platter by men in white coats---how then are these people rational. In fact allot of them cannot differentiate the difference between empiricism and rationality which are not one and the same but can be fused together when dealing with some issues. Where religion used god to fill in the gaps the new atheists ignores the gaps completely, often falling in. New atheism in my view is just another religion. Arguments against religion are strong and arguments against a god that appears to be dressed slavishly by us humans and then placed on a throne is also strong "the god that man created in his own image". But the concept of God is far more complex, and the question of proof unveils the stupidity of the new atheist. Proof is raw data, reason is what makes sense of it all. Rationality does not always give as perceivable proof but then neither does physics/met-physics . I am neither rational or irrational I simply am amongst the post modern schizoid insanity. Enough rambling.... link of article attached.

    Free thinking is an integral part of Christianity, you can go as far as doubting god


    Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths. Be not wise in your own eyes; fear the Lord, and turn away from evil. It will be healing to your flesh and refreshment to your bones. (Proverbs 3:5-8)

    And, behold, thou shalt be dumb, and not able to speak, until the day that these things shall be performed, because thou believest not my words, which shall be fulfilled in their season. (Luke 1:20) (God strikes Zacharias dumb for doubting the angel Gabriel's words.)

    Do not test the LORD your God as you did at Massah. (4:7)

    The scientific rational paradigm is mostly ubiqituous in it's ability to converse via nonsense to upgrade fillial concepts into conjugal natural hyperbole. Time will truly tell that philosophy is a modular way of thinking about the generic unknown and the postular uncertainty of quantum rythym. I think perhaps once we get to the root causes of this kantian dynamic that stresses that we must extrapolate new patterns from the very real nihilistic conveyance of post-modernist thinking, that's truly when we will know how to boogey.

    I sense a lot of disdain for philosophy in this thread. But you only really need to feel annoyed by philosophy if you feel at all threatened by any of their arguments, which can be averted by simply ignoring them like the rest of humanity has done since time immemorial.

    Yeah, you can't be hungry for tangible knowledge in this world without some soft twat accusing you of "blindly swallowing science"

    You can't be awestruck and energised by the universe, or intrigued and excited by the discoveries in physics, or have an amateur interest in stargazing, or be in love with the natural world and desperate to uncover it's secrets, without some pedestrian dime-a-dozen 'intellectual' who Googled a bit of philosophy telling you you're irrational.

    We should actually make science a proper religion just to give them something real to shit themselves about.

    Is there anyone on the forums who is not completely in love with Ishina, or has not at least once thought of breaking up with their SO just so she would be available to shamelessly flirt with?

    ^^ Yeah, I'm with you on that one bro. I've spent many a night staring out of my window, and across the Pennines, imagining the Goddess that resides there. On these nights, I curse my luck. For had I not been born so dumb, and so ugly, and so prone to goofiness, I may not then have felt so bad about sharing the same oxygen as her. It is then that I hold my breath for an instance, and consider holding it forever. For the air for her would be cleaner without a lowlife like me sharing it with her; and there would be more of it, without a scoundrel like me stealing it from her...

    One day, you will awake and you will not hear from me again, dear Alex. On that day, look out for a news report about a man in Yorkshire who has died, naked, with small penis in hand, and a plastic bag round his head, staring blissfully across the Pennines. On that day, you alone will be privy to my last thoughts, and you alone will understand who I died for.

    Some aspects of philosophy I find really interesting, but then again you can go down the Hamza Tsortis "inter and intratextual" "conceptual analysis" route, and it simply becomes babble IMO.
