.............................................God works in strange ways...





Feeding a 10 year old Devadasi a mile of God... Six inches at a time.




My thesis for this thread: We are all whores. The term god means nothing and everything at the same time. Think about it.

We are all equal in the eyes of god. You are not above anyone.




.

This is a thesis statement not a thesis Bill.

For it to be a thesis you'd have to actually show your research, write supporting arguments and consider objections.

.........................................................................................









The term "thesis" comes from the Greek θέσις, meaning "something put forth", and refers to an intellectual proposition.



I invite you to actually view the intellectual proposition of this particular thread.


You can do that by hovering your mouse above the phrase ...God works in strange ways... in my original post.


I apologize. I should have been more instructive in my original posting.


Please enjoy my research, write supporting arguments, consider objections, and put forth any questions you may have in relation to this active exercise in philosophy!



Thank you for trying to participate in this important philosophical exercise. Good luck to you.

Reminds me of that ex-Penn State coach, who's in jail now.

I don't have speakers and find in my later years TV, and especially YouTube clips of it, fairly uninteresting sources of information as they generally lack context and have bias.

See if you can describe what the clip proposes in a few sentences.

You haven't done any research Bill, thats been done by the program makers. Surfing boobtube might be informative entertainment but its not research.

Let me try to participate a little more.

My thesis for this thread: We are all whores. The term god means nothing and everything at the same time. Think about it.

Okay, done that and the "We are all whores" is clearly empirically false even given whatever definition it is of 'whores' that you are using. The "The term god means nothing and everything at the same time" is clearly a contradiction and so is logically false all the time and is essentially a meaningless phrase that I presume you think has some meaning?

We are all equal in the eyes of god. You are not above anyone.

You contradict yourself as if the term 'god' means nothing then there is nothing to be equal before. Lets say there is something and it means everything, and assume that you mean the Christian 'God', then your second sentence does not follow, as being equal in the eyes of 'God' does not imply that we are equal in each others. Something that your 'God' and its Bible clearly state, men are above women, fathers are above children and wives, parents are above children, theists are above pantheists, the sinned against are above the sinners, saints are above the faithful, those in heaven are above those in hell, etc, etc.

Look forward to your responses.

I'm glad you've finally found a dopey pen pal you can relate to.

I can relate to him no more than I can to you as both you Yanks exhibit the same disabilities.

At least you don't see me writing a half-page post to that idiot and asking him to write back. Talk about two peas in a pod, I'd say two pees in a pod!

I don't see you writing anything considered in reply to anything. I know its difficult for you to understand boob but you're on a philosophy forum.

It is unfortunate that you still do not have speakers for your computer.


I volunteer at my church during a rummage sale type of fund raiser.


I don't know if you have that type of resource in your country but I have seen speakers for computers for about the price of a cup of coffee.

Do you know the brand & type of computer that you have?


I am sorry but you are unable to participate in this type of thread.


You are missing a HUGE aspect of the miracle of computers.


Just thinking quick - headphones might be an alternative. Again, even some new headphones can be obtained inexpensively.


Good luck to you.


I have the feeling that if we knew what type of headphones or speakers fit your computer and you gave us your name & address - a pair of speakers may show-up!

...

You misunderstand, I choose not to have speakers or at least can't be bothered to replace them and in the main choose not to watch or use boobtube or any of the other 'social' apps like wastebook and twatter(although the irony of the name Twitter does not escape me).

You are missing a HUGE aspect of the miracle of computers.

Maybe, maybe not, as so far all I see is surfing for the sake of one own biases. In the main I prefer reading to get my information and from various sources. Whilst I agree that the Internet and World Wide Web have their uses and are an important resource and are fast becoming an integral part of a moderns life there is a danger that people think they are actually making a difference in real life instead of actually acting in that life.

Take this post of yours. It clearly demonstrates one of your cultural biases as you change the cultural context of it being a consequence of a belief in a pantheistic goddess to an issue of your theistic 'god'. Why? And especially why in a philosophy forum. I'd also be interested in what you are doing in your life to assist these children.

I long-ago told you why I would not give my name and address out across the interweeb. Past experience has shown me that it can not always be worth the grief.

Tell you what, take your money and donate it to those you identify as starving or send it to a charity dedicated to helping these child devotees.
p.s.
Nice to see that as usual you do not participate and like your fellow Yank have an aversion to answering philosophical critque, but then, like him, thats not why you're here is it.

Do not be afraid.

If I can serve as a model for you...a noble, philosophical symbol for you, see me as the brother in arms who was willing to take the grief, and the fellow member who urged you to trust your fellow members and welcomed visitors here at the Philosophy Now Forums.

See me as the fellow member who urged you to increase your enjoyment of the miracle of the internet by adding speakers or headphones to you enjoyment of the miracle of this new technology we call computing!


See me as the fellow wise member who encourages you and other members here to be brave enough to use their legal name in all of their postings here and in other sites at the internet. There are so many rewarding reasons that make sense to do this. I've stated this argument somewhere here before.


See me as the herald of the coming good.

See me as the Socratic philosophical force that urges you to turn your eyes away from the shadows upon the wall of the cave that ultimately frighten you and cause you misunderstand the force of inherent good.


I will tell you fear & hate are two sides of the same coin.



I welcome you brother.


You can leave your fear right here.

This is a philosophy forum Bill, as such many who visit here bear ill wishes, philosophically speaking. That, in the past, you've supported them makes you far from this philosophical symbol that you delude yourself to be and a long way from being my brother-in-arms.

See me as the fellow member who urged you to increase your enjoyment of the miracle of the internet by adding speakers or headphones to you enjoyment of the miracle of this new technology we call computing!

Since I've been in Computing since before the PC was invented I'll stick to my own judgement of what I find efficacious to my enjoyment of this technology thanks.

Nah! Bill. As when you actually do something that effects people on the Weeb you will find it a chore to have to change your details because of those who don't like it. Best to use your real name in the real world where real things are done, not the virt world where fantasies abound. As I told you before, its fine if you don't think you'll ever work again but the first thing employers do now is goggle. Its what I teach my kids and they are continually shocked that what they think is 'private' is not treated as such if its on the Weeb.

See me as the herald of the coming good.

I understand you to be as delusional as boob is.

See me as the Socratic philosophical force that urges you to turn your eyes away from the shadows upon the wall of the cave that ultimately frighten you and cause you misunderstand the force of inherent good.

I think what little you describe of your way is effectively an American closed-shop union.

You do understand that Socrates encouraged dialogue, i.e. question and answer, don't you?

I will tell you fear & hate are two sides of the same coin.

As I've asked you before, this makes this coin what?

I welcome you brother.

You can leave your fear right here.

Save your psycho-babble for yourself, you need it.

I was raised a Buddhist and as such I understand what I can or cannot change and have the serenity not to bother others when it slips, unless they be my long-suffering friends that is.

If you wish me to be welcome try thinking about discussing and examining your thoughts through philosophical critique as you are on a philosophy forum after all.

LMFAO! This from the man who pointed 250 nukes at the Soviets when they had none, caused the Chinese to join the nuke arms race and led us to the Iran we now have.

Still, apparently he provoked Jap enough so that you'd actually fight against Nazism rather than just trade with it so can't be all bad.

Nice to see you avoid all discussion of your post, consistent as usual.
