Re: atheim is an adventrue of faith
This really shouldn't come as a surprise, I think. It would seem to me that positing anything that cannot be somehow tested for its veracity should be either acknowledged as an agnostic proposition , or simply a creative idea . Taking it any further than those two categories beggars logic: how can y...

Re: Objectivism
Quantum, Here is what Nathaniel Brandon (Rand's former right-hand man) outlines are the tenets of Objectivism. Objectivism teaches: 1. That reality is what it is, that things are what they are, independent of anyone’s beliefs, feelings, judgments or opinions—that existence exists, that A is A; 2. Th...

Re: Objectivism
Heya Kane, nice to have another non-believer on the board. I'm a skeptical agnostic and generally try to serve as a foil in some of the discussions here. Hello QT! I'm sure we'll have a good many things to contribute here. Boy, I have a very low opinion of Objectivism (at some point, I wrote a pape...

Re: Need prayer
Do your friends have other friends who could easily purchase their house at foreclosure prices? Because if they did, they could arrange to have their house bought at a foreclosure price, move back in, and pay back the friends who bought it, and end up paying less for their home then they had to whe...

Re: Objectivism
Just by way of common courtesy, I will let you know that I am going to come back to this subject in a couple of days. My work schedule is a wonderful study in chaos theory, and I'm just about to head out the door. Thank you for your responses, Metacrock, and Quantum Troll. I appreciate your expedien...

Objectivism
I'm not sure where I should place this thread, so please forgive me if it is in the wrong spot. In any case, I will let you know upfront that I am not a Christian. I used to be. In fact, I also used to be a Lutheran minister. In my post-Christian quest for continued understanding, I have recently co...
