On strife and morality

[The One and Only...]

Agnosticism is the only logical stance regarding the supernatural.

Deduction can only be logically discovered as a result of a generalization arising from inductive processes. Due to this fact, non-axiomatic knowledge is impossible, and truth can only be viewed in terms of probability. Thus, even if evidence for the supernatural did exist in the natural world (and no such evidence has been found), we could not even be certain of its existence. Atheism cannot prove itself either, as no evidence for the lack of a supernatural can exist within the natural realm. Therefore, due to these uncertainties, agnosticism is the only logical stance.

Elevation of concepts to moral status is logically baseless.

Moral laws do not exist in the natural realm, and without the certainty of the supernatural, cannot possibly be known.

Reduction of moral laws to desirability is logically sound and lessens human suffering.

All moral laws can be reduced to concepts which are either desirable, undesirable, or neutral. By reducing all moral laws to their desirability, concepts which are undesirable will not be upheld. Thus, previous moral laws which caused unnecessary suffering will be eliminated.

"All great religions, in order to escape absurdity, have to admit a dilution of agnosticism. It is only the savage, whether of the African bush or the American gospel tent, who pretends to know the will and intent of God exactly and completely." - H. L. Mencken

What about a religion in which the members *themselves* are supernatural? Is self-identity sufficient for certainty?

Oh, and I agree with everyone else in this thread.

They would have to provide evidence for that assertion.

[Emu]

Depends on your definition of 'natural,' don't you think?

[Perndog]

Nevermind. It's not worth the effort.

this is rather obvious, OAO... i dont think anyone has posted it because most intelligent persons can come to those comclusions while having a BIIIIG WANK with their BIIIIIG COCK in the SHOWER.

COME TO THOSE CONCLUSIONS :LOL

I have my suspicions about you, too.

I'm going to start a God club where we're all gods. There's going to be a secret handshake. This is not going to be like my last God club where we all had to do the elephant walk. Who wants to join my club?

[Sergeant_Tibbs]

I think you're too late, there was (is?) some god gang in jackson prison. It's real 133t you have to take a writen test to see if you're a god or not. And you have to be in prison.

So, what, OAO, is there no special summer camp for self important psuedo intellectual kids to go yap at each other in the Adirondacks and maybe get a little tennis and swimming instruction tossed in?

I thought about taking Precalc so I could take Calculus as a sophomore, but decided against it.

Instead, I have opted to finish getting into shape.

Of course, I still have three exams left before the school year is over.

- You mean fighting shape to enlist in the military.

[Pub Lover]

He has a condition that involves hives, hot flushes, & fainting, so he can't enlist... Oh, wait! ;0

You can't do both????

Well, I could, but what's the point. My high school only offers courses through Statistics, meaning that I would be left without any math courses to take as a senior.

I was thinking about applying for an early admission program to college, but then I'd miss out on an easy senior year.

[punkgrrrlie10]

you can't do a half day at school and leave early for college classes? Or even take an early morning class at a jc and spend the rest of the time at school?
