@Thoughtitorium You're missing my point. The meaning of the words is because I put something that you understand, it has meaning. The physical representation wouldn't mean anything without an intelligence behind it. That's exactly the point, you cannot explain things that have an intelligence beh...

@spenceII I was talking of the similarity between constraining the determination of the meaning of words to their physical properties, and constraining the cause of the universe to physical laws within it. The constraints seem to have a similarity to me.

@vangaren81 I think your last sentence was cut off, maybe you ran out of room. It should have been "... if these religious groups had their way to spend their own money according to their beliefs." I mean, come on, we can't have religious organizations spending their money according to their beli...

LOL you pronounced jimenez as "Ja mEE nez"; it's a spanish name and should be pronouced as "Hi me nez".

@WerewolfOfTheWater You're advocating for rapists, so that must be what Democrats want.

@am101171 If you think Sam Harris is respectful, then you haven't seen his debate with William Lane Craig. He practically refused to address any of Craig's arguments, instead spending the entire debate flinging cheap insults at Christians.

@TehLamzaks I think they just accidentally clicked the wrong thumb

typo: "The joke is that after being reviewed for hundreds of years now, by and large historians have found the Biblical texts to be authentic, yet people still routinely bring up this defunct argument."

As an Agnostic Atheist I'm curious what you think of some arguments for the existence of God; specifically, the Cosmological Argument and the Fine Tuning of the Initial Conditions. Also, do you believe there are objective moral values and duties? If so, upon what, in your view, are they grounded?

@Freestylar You misunderstood me. I was not saying you have to respect or agree with someone's opinions. I'm talking about the way we engage each other. We should be respectful of each other even if we disagree.

@ausera91 OK, but how do you determine what is right and wrong? If you are relying on your own logic is it not subjective to your own whims?
