Philosophy - December 2007

It's supposed to be something about our choices not being caused..

To be fair, the brain is just an organic object with reactions happening amongst it, reactions cause particular choices. I don't understand the concept of "free will" scientifically. It's some superstition about choice I think...

sometimes at least.
Dogs just want to give unconditional love, they are not here to compete, control, or destroy. I just think dogs and stuff are a HUGELY underestimated gift to us.

Does everybody only have one? If you saw this person, would you fall in love at first sight? Or does love at first sight not exist? Please do explain yourself. Remember, there is no wrong answer. ;)

If you survived an apocalypse (i.e. WW3) and there was no world left would you, teach your children that are born after the fact, of the world that you came from and what it was like or teach them values for the future?

why?

The Absolute is the totality of things. Why do we associate that with something finished, static? like absolute morals in religions? Even if one could know the absolute, why should that imply that one is finished or that one knows all, could the absloute not also mean that you realize that itself is in change?
So that there can never be any perfect understanding, never any end to reach.

Would that destroy the absolute?
or at least the absolute mentality that many religions especially embody.

I mean religions speak of the absolute, as something independent of the universe or "outside" of it. How can one have such an understanding and be sure that it is not an idea?

Absolutes do not exist...I think? Growth and change require an absolute one man said.....?
something compared to or in relation to something, in his mind that meant something absolute. yet to me it seems that that is not the case. Since growth dos not have to be into something know, something already decided. I mean it can be spontaneous growth into unknown.
And change can be understood in relation to the world around you, itself in constant change. Plus the you that once was compared to the you today, is compared with your memory, also subject to change and distortion. The reality of it being only a thought. So I dont see his arguement of stating that is proof.
I am not a philosophy expert so please correct me if I am wrong.

Is the real reason Christian's make a big fuss about abortion is beacuse it exposes a fundamental flaw in God himself that no one want to deal with? That being that God is required by his law of election to send babies to hell?

(I look forward to a lively debate wiht minimal name calling.)

and God has built you your perfect dream home to live the rest of eternity in. What would this place be like for you. What is the perfect place to spend forever for you? How would you spend it?

As for myself, I would probably like to wander around and explore. Carry a large backpack with everything I need. Maybe I would have a small house in a forest where I could rest every now and then.

what a wonderful world it would be if everybody took their own problem and found the answer to it and spent the rest of their life helping people with the same problem in their spare time. my problems are the same or similar to your problems. i'll share my answers with you and you share your answers with someone else and we'll all have an easier time.

Is it something that is in the physical matter of the universe, the rule of cause and effect? For instance, we know that whenever oxygen and hydrogen are chemically blended together water is always the outcome, or that the presence of the Sun is the sole and certain cause of the life on earth.

Or, is destiny the will of God, the cause of all causes, whose will is preordained in form of everything. We might be free to some extent, but never out of His will.

We see that the more highly developed are the human systems the less likely it is for them to contain elements of uncertainty. In highly developed societies, for instance, people are more likely to live well-structured lives with all protocols, procedures, methods, measures and schedules of operation well implemented for them to ensure a certain degree of quality in life.

In short, is destiny the rule of a godless universe that we should investigate? Or is it the Will of God that we should seek and then faithfully accept?

Here's how I understand it-Kierkegaard figured free will was essential to Christianity. Existentialism does not presume a creator so it's the only philosophical stance that allows for true free will. Therefore existentialism is essential to Christianity.
