Okay so I got something wrong here: I believe it is the case that the body and soul cannot be separated before your time. However, I’ve never really been good with illustrations. My illustration was, if my body belonged to a different soul, then it would be impossible. But now, belonging doesn’t...

Now after hearing Lily Alexanre in that video, there was one thing that stuck out to me. She (or is he a trans-woman?) really painted the colonizers in a negative light. The way I see it is the puritans wanted to practice the Christian faith as protestants without being persecuted. They were...

If someone was given a binary-choice test the only possible answers would be true/false or yes/no—never anything in between. Or if someone argues that trans-women are women, that is just shorthand for a woman is a woman regardless of the process they took to get there. But does that mean...

@Dan Philosophy Maybe this makes more sense—I have edited my reply to you with this intro and conclusion. If you have a lot to write that’s fine. As you can probably tell I’m trying to work on clarifying my writing as well. If we can avoid fighting over mere words, the better. It is only...

Sorry for the confusion I said vengeance is a vice, but only in particular way. You could also say it is a special virtue if it is carried out through a justice system, or if you are defending yourself or loved ones from acts of violence.

God is Holy and Just In watching part of a crime show, Murder Made Me Famous, vengeance is really the motive here, but in a way, against the system of justice. Vengeance is a vice. In short, a man served in prison for 18 years for a crime he didn’t commit, but upon release he committed an...

No, no, read them in any order you please. I just thought you'd like to know where I got my source. Here's a link to all of the critical questions series. https://www.ligonier.org/store/collection/crucial-questions-ebooks?utm_campaign=redirect

If Gender is binary, then it eliminates the need for a spectrum. A trans-woman is merely a biological man being effeminate and a trans-man is a biological woman being butch. If you say trans is its own gender, you no longer have two genders do you? How do you define 'woman’? Glad you asked! It...

Unless of course “the Word became flesh” (Jn 1:14) then God is not an impersonal Being. No, there is just male and female; intersex is a deformity that in most cases can be dealt with surgically but still other cases require more careful attention. There is something I think I’ve learned after...

@John K I’m speaking around the subject? [proceeds to tell me there isn’t really a problem; just need to stop making a big deal of it and if you don’t, you’ll just make things worse (even though there isn’t really a problem] Got it! Look, the alternative to man creating logic is not logic...

So what I understand progressives to say about the question, what is a woman?—the unofficial definition: is somebody who identifies as a woman. Now I want to push back just a little and follow up that question with, is a woman always a woman? If the answer is yes, I would have to assume there is...

OK OK, you got me. I was trying to make this thread about two things: In a sense, what makes a woman? And, what do you think about the laws of logic? I was influenced to post something because I was watching this conservative show by Matt Walsh. Now maybe none of you here like what he would have...

Not to labor the point too much, but I assume existence is real so it goes without saying. Epistemology is the study of simple questions: How do we know what we know? Is there some kind of objective basis for the truths that we affirm, or are they grounded in nothing? But maybe that’s just it...

(mentions quantum mechanics) Yes, I was arguing on the basis of time because time exists. It is the progression from one moment to the next. The measurement of time is a construct but we have our “being” if you can believe that. The theory of relativity and quantum mechanics is an interesting...

Okay so this is kind of the point I was getting at and a great example. If we’re going on the premise that people are defined by what they say is true about themselves then I think it’s worth taking a look at where the logic leads. Let’s say you have a man who has no problem being identified as...
