I disagree with these claims. 1. Perception doesn't matter to the fact of selves. Perception in experience without bias is a looking glass into the nature and evidence of selves. 2. This idea that we are a collection of molecules is mere appearance. There are non physical realities like...

Selfhood and individuality are undeniably evident through experience. They are unavoidable while ego is avoidable. We may be made of the same stuff physically, but none of us are one with each other. Go ahead and deny yourself completely and be only selfless. I reckon that impossible. Just...

Is this to the exclusion of non believers? Detailed instructions in love? Love in virtue, or merciful love, or perhaps love of souls that one does not know as of yet?

God is an invention of the human ego. An authority figure not to be questioned, worshipped without ceasing, and judges everybody

Defining God: The non contingent foundation of all existence. Yes That which is morally superior authority. Nothing shows up All knowing. No All powerful. No. Would have acted by now. Creator. No. This is evidently a horrible creation. Infinite ground of all being. Maybe but I don't...

Goodness can't just sit back and do nothing because of the nature of the situation of life on Earth. Since goodness is the very thing that builds life and worth and evil is that which exploits goodness for its own purposes and life requires goodness to exist then that leaves good vulnerable. I...

There's truth in the mythology of angels and demons.

I made no mention of passivity. I'm only saying that evil must thieve from goodness. As humans we come from a place of unknowing, trying to find our way out of darkness. I think good people are not masters of the good way, we are learners. Humans are vulnerable, and error prone. Without...

I suppose a demon is someone who has mastered malevolence or has power in it. Just as an angel is someone who has mastered benevolence and combatting malevolence and has power in those things. Demons and Angels are archetypes. Reminds me of the Jedi and Sith dichotomy. The thing about...

If God(s) exists then it's in total obscurity, with major limitations of power with no ability to intervene. Defining God is very important to answering the question. To my mind it makes logical sense that existence is infinite in all directions. Non existence doesn't exist. No one knows how...

It's very clear that I'm against weaponizing the justice system. Trump is not, as evidenced by the article I posted.

Yes.

Kingship is unstable, while some kings may govern with respect to laws, there's no guarantee the successors of a good king will be good. It's far better to run government with limited powers checked and balanced. The recent SCOTUS decision giving the President immunity from American law in...

Having a king, or dictator returns modern society to dark ages, and completely stifles human progress. Only a fool would desire to be king, and have everyone subservient to their orders. People are of unique and common experiences both. Only a fool desires a king to rule over them. Self...

My definition of religion is that which people rely on in the face of mystery and the unknown. Often religion comes with a moral code. Religion is unhealthy if and only if it never questions, and never learns, and assumes to have all the necessary answers to being and existence. My religion is...
