Is there anything worthy of worship?

For the record, it is possible to enjoy pain. With enough devout practice I think I could master that sh!t. Now, if I did, and I could teach it to others, would I be worthy of supreme reverence?

No more than De Sade was.

Oops. I meant super reverence not supreme reverence. I don't know that guy, but I'm glad we agree such a person would be worthy of worship. Yay! We answered the question!

Ignorance is no excuse.

Why are you so combative. Didn't we just agree?

Plato says quarreling is unholy.

That's me, being complaisant. You haven't seen combat.

Didn't we just agree?

No. You did.

Nothing is holy; therefore, unholy is devoid of meaning.
Plato, being dead, doesn't say anything, but can't object to being used as a sock-puppet.

You, sir, are wasting our time.

Clearly anyone who could alleviate his own suffering and teach others to alleviate to do the same is worthy of super-reverence.

You're really good at making this game we call philosophy no fun at all. Boo! Boo! I say!
