I realize that my writings may be difficult, so if anyone prefers a plain vanilla summary of Kierkegaard, go check out the entry at wikipedia.

Without further adieu... :lol: Who said I'm going anywhere? Rose Immortal, here's the brief essay I promised on Kierkegaard. :)

Some thoughts about Kierkegaard, from a philosophical angle. Truth is strange - for in the majority of all those philosophical tomes of thought, there seems to be some sort of self-disgust, an aversion to itself. We can see the truth always “just about to be,” but it never actually coincides...

Addendum Even though the exercise of disposing chaff is an amusing pasttime, I shouldn't enter a battle of wits with an unarmed person. :doh: However, I will continue to post new threads in the future, and the following list is still tentative:

On cue..... Ladies and Gentlemen, with this I present you a perfect example of Lastwordism. It's what fools do when they think they haven't said enough. :) Contra the dishonesty of Mr. Lastwordist, my opening post was submitted to a professor of philosophy of religion, who immediately...

Wonderful! More argument by assertions! Argumentum ad veritatem obfuscandam, for I have. However those with pretense to higher intellect should demonstrate it by employing the rudiments of grammar properly. Failing that, one could just drop the pretense. I refer this individual to my...

God bless David Hume! Not even. For one thing, you create a false dichotomy between "material" and "spiritual," and for another, Hume would've gone with sensations over materialism, and you and i both know emotions are sensations. :) Hume was a thorough-going empiricist who claimed that...

classic case of the crow calling the raven black Excellent! With such responses, you quickly remove all doubt that English is definitely not your first language. Do you have anything of substance to contribute beyond these knee-jerk handwaves? If so, then feel free to demonstrate why I...

Yes, I have written a bit about Kierkegaard, but I'm afraid this takes us too far off-topic. If you want I can open a new thread and discuss his shrewd and perceptive take of Christianity. :)

Yes, I am quite familiar with Process Theology, and thank you, Morrigan Tait, for supplying those links. I first learned about PT when I stormed theologyweb.com several years back with some atheological arguments (how can a perfect god also possess free will?). The funny thing was, some of...

C'est la vie! Surely you jest. You can't be saying that if everyone understood "something" of the Gospel, then nobody would post here at all. Moreover, you must accept that there are many different interpretations of the "gospel," which leads to all these discussions, and proving your...

If i may interject.... Pardon for the intrusion, but i'm afraid this is incorrect. David Hume never said that "the material is all that you can prove exists." Given that he was a mitigated skeptic, even "materialism" or matter was not free from his skepticism. As for Anselm's...

Au Contraire! Pek1, Redfox's question isn't trite, for it is actually a pithy and concise summation of my post. It was actually a direct answer to the disingenuous question by dkf747. And your answer is more of a pre-packaged preaching that totally misses the force behind my argument, and...

Perhaps english is not your first language. :dunno:

I refute it thus! *kicks apologist* Despite your intentions, typing in all caps is shouting. And we all know shouting your arguments doesn’t make them stronger. You can always use bbc code (italics or bold) to differentiate your text from the quoted excerpts of the other posters. Now, on...

Here is a simple and a very direct sentence. Sunday school sermons are meant for 6 year old children. Now, do you want to try and read my post? You will understand it much better if you actually read it. :)

Here's a dilemma I've been thinking lately, and not only does it prove the incoherence of Christianity, it also demonstrates the internal contradiction within apologetics. It has to do with God's pure and holy state that cannot abide the presence of a sinner. He is incapable of forgiving...

*cue eerie music* Be careful for what you wish for, winter knight, for you just might get it! :lol: Free will is the invention of theologians. First of all, free will is incoherent, and second of all, it cannot be proven through self-awareness. Argument #1 All versions of the...

O Sol Mio!!!! O SODOMIAAA.... You seem confused yourself, for your original point was a cheap handwave, an grandfather argument (I've seen it before), and now you're saying that the book does not chime with my dialectical spin. Please make up your mind which argument you are making in your next...

Argument by assertion never fails to amuse! What "faulty logic" ? ;) And there's nothing in the scarlett letter that has anything similar to what i wrote, so go back and re-read the book again. :rofl:
