It would be wiser and more appropriate to present proper arguments since this is a philosophical forum.

Re: Theistic Versus Non-Theistic Morality and Ethics.
More precisely, it’s a philosophy of religion forum. And since the central themes and concepts involved in some religious traditions would say Lucy, in the movie Lucy, is right, your arguments are as sound and fury signifying nothing. You just have to learn to accept that they might possess a deeper understanding of reality than you.Veritas Aequitas wrote: ↑Sun Aug 12, 2018 6:56 amIt would be wiser and more appropriate to present proper arguments since this is a philosophical forum.

I am willing to accept any reality if I can be convinced objectively and philosophically.
Just show me the arguments supported by sound philosophical justifications.

There is no philosopher, except in this conception, a fictional character, a concept, remember?Veritas Aequitas wrote: ↑Sun Aug 12, 2018 6:56 amIt would be wiser and more appropriate to present proper arguments since this is a philosophical forum.
You're arguing with phantoms, namely, yourselfs.
.
Seeking truth - truth seeking philosphers, when presented with what they are looking for, then refuse to accept it, or to look at it when it's presented, hmm, same old story over and over again, the never ending story continues.
So what do you want to know, hmm, where shall I begin?

There you go again.

I accept the fact that someone living comfortably in an illusion has neither reason nor desire to escape.
One more thing. Since when is philosophy only about objectively verifiable reality?

But the point is whatever works within this philosophical forum is philosophical arguments to be presented for discussion, acceptance or rejection.
Since you are in this philosophical forum why are you rejecting the need to present proper sound arguments?

I stated somewhere what is crucial is,
objectively verifiable reality top up with philosophical critical thinking.
This is why we need to reinforce scientific knowledge with Philosophy of Science and Philosophy-proper [which will include among others, Morality and Ethics]

What's crucial is access to awareness without the intervention of ideas.Veritas Aequitas wrote: ↑Mon Aug 13, 2018 3:59 amNote "and" aboveReflex wrote: ↑Sun Aug 12, 2018 5:59 pmThere you go again.

Note those mental cases within DSM-V could experience the above sort of ' pure awareness' and some will/[had] create[d] havoc and terrible evils.
Thus we need to reinforce that sort of pure awareness with scientific knowledge with Philosophy of Science and Philosophy-proper backed by strong critical thinking [reasoning].
The critical point is one must be able to use reason up to its highest potential but at the same time 'kill' reason after use. Note the Buddha's simile of 'getting rid of the boat after reaching shore'.
