| ^^^^ Quoting logical positivism at someone who is making an argument based on one made by Alvin Plantinga is a pretty dangerous idea. John Passmore described it, "dead, or as dead as a philosophical movement ever becomes." Plantinga was one of its most dangerous critics of positivism and he regards... |

| PanoramaIsland, no reason to get personal. My comment condemn political leaders who pretend to be religious leaders. I was talking about many of the Popes, Holy Roman Emperors, caliphs, Ayatollah Khomeini, Bin Laden, etc. These "religious" persons were the same as openly atheist leaders like Lenin,... |

An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth - just like our old pal Hammurabi taught us 3,790 years ago! Hey, while we're at it, let's n... |

My skills are with abstract theory and creative work, not with numbers at all. Then again, I'm diagnosed as NVLD, not AS. On my ACT tests, I tested in the upper 1st percentile in the nation on English and Humanities, and at like like 70th percentile on math.  |

| Wicca is not a cult. It hardly even has enough structure to be considered a religion! The term "cult" can be pretty broad, and for purposes of the poll I would assume it had a pretty loose definition. I am a damned hippie!

We can find sufficient range for all chickens by not forcibly breeding so damned many of them, and not eating them so much; the same goes for cows, pigs and so on. |

| 91, not only are you falling straight into the easiest traps set for logical positivists by trying to deny the subjectivity of your experience ( all your experience, not just that of the Holy Spirit), but you're failing at basic logical positivism as well, because you're validating your un-evidenced... |
