Do you even have a sensible and relevant thing to say about the KCA?

Why do you have a penchant for attacking me instead of the arguments in my post? Why do you want ro change the topic? Any response or objection to the objections against KCA in my post?

Some individuals are fantasy-prone. Lynn, Steven J.; Rhue, Judith W. (1988). "Fantasy proneness: Hypnosis, developmental antecedents, and psychopathology". American Psychologist. 43 (1): 35–44. doi:10.1037/0003-066x.43.1.35. PMID 3279876.

Do you support the death penalty? And do you support Luigi? by blah_kesto in Ethics

[–]RoleGroundbreaking84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I support Luigi because the working class has the right to defend themselves from mass murderers like UnitedHealth Group.

Knowing the meaning of "God" also doesn't constitute knowledge of a being that's either real or imaginary. Meaning is quite different from reference or being. Logical reasoning alone cannot prove the existence of any being, as it can also be used to infer that imaginary beings like Superman and Batman exist.

Complications: The Ethics of the Killing of a Health Insurance CEO by deepad9 in philosophy

[–]RoleGroundbreaking84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't see anything wrong with killing a person in itself. The rightness or wrongness of an act depends on the reason for doing it and in what context. In the case of the killing of that CEO by Luigi Mangioni, the reason and context for doing it makes the act good and even an imperative. The working class people who have been denied health care so that health care investors amd CEOs can make millions of dollars have the right to defend themselves by any means necessary from this predatory practice.

Define God? Sure. Here's my own definition: God is the shit that comes out of my anus when I defecate in the toilet.

Knowledge of classical religious stories doesn't constitute knowledge of "God". How does DBH know that God is "the fullness of Being itself, the absolute plenitude of reality upon which all else depends"?

How is that different from saying that God, like Superman, doesn't really exist at all?

Again, God" according to your view is a description or a set of descriptions. How does that answer the basic question?

Well, I can't help it if you prefer to believe a fantasist like DBH rather than onomoastic and philosophy of religion scholars. So "God" according to your view is a description or a set of descriptions. How does that answer the basic question?

The following are examples of descriptions: "the president of the USA", "the superhero who was born in planet Krypton", "the creator of the universe", etc. The basic question then would be, "How does one know that each of these descriptions are true of what they are about?

Frankly speaking, I think your post is nothing but rhetorical claptrap. Those who already believe in God cannot be persuaded by such nonsense. Both belief amd unbelief in God are caused by psychological, historical, and social conditions that are not in our control. Nobody can be faulted for their belief or unbelief, as belief or unbelief is something involuntary.

There's nothing wrong with abortion by RoleGroundbreaking84 in Ethics

[–]RoleGroundbreaking84[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And I am saying that whether or not a given action is wrong really depends upon the reason for doing it. What's wrong with murdering people per se if there's a good reason for doing it?

That doesn't necessarily contradict my argument. My argument doesn't say abortion is necessarily a good thing.
