He seems perfectly capable of understanding when, on threads on his own forum, he posted his homophobic rants against gay marriage. He can stay on-topic there, where he is not so outnumbered by people who challenge his illogic and counterfactual claims; his irrelevant responses here are easily interpreted as a defensive ploy, a means of abandoning a sinking ship. It is impossible to know if that is "the" explanation, but it is a tossup as to whether to insult his intelligence or his motives.
I don't know which interpretation is more insulting; anyway, we cannot diagnose him from a distance. All we can do is point out mistakes in logic or evidence for the people who *will* listen.
Whether we admire or don't admire Iachus do we have a choice? Expressing human emotion such as admiration or the antithesis of admiration be it contempt or something else while arguing a materialist POV or something akin to it is interesting. It's along the lines of trying to convince someone that we have no free will. As if they have a choice one way or the other.
Rubbish!
Or, to put it more politely, without the experience of "self," how is it possible to experience the sense of "no self?" Otherwise, what exactly is there to falsify?
You should be careful trying to use logic and terms you don't understand.
Would you not agree that it's love that sustains us?
Are you suggesting you see no logic in this?
If you're suggesting that I don't forsake that part of me which is alive -- which, is my spirit -- I would have to concur. In fact this is the very thing I'm looking at (in myself) when it comes time to refute the notions of folks like you.
I was suggesting no such thing. You are once again being intentionally obtuse. But your spirit is not a living thing. It is a description of some of the aspects of you brain functions, and as such is an illusory, if occasionally useful, concept.
You can refute until your dying day but it won't change a thing. When your dying day comes, you will die, except perhaps for some of your tissues and organs if you've signed the organ donor card.
And, if there was such a thing as genuine, you would never know it. That's the problem with you and one or two other folks around here.
The Church of Medical Science is a big joke. About the only thing they're good for is sucking up everyone's inheritance. We're going to die anyway, so why give it all to them?
I am alive thanks to medical science. I rather appreciate not dying at age 10. My parents both would be dead if not for medical science. I rather enjoy them using up my inheritance.
