    Philosophically Pure Edifice?

    I'm not sure if we can fail it. We'll figure it out as we go along, and he's pretty lenient. He allows us to have basically any opinion we want so long as we back it up. So, he will most likely leave it to me to determine what I consider "philosophically pure." I was just hoping to get ideas...

    Philosophically Pure Edifice?

    I have no idea. Is it symmetry? Is it a structure that spreads out in random directions like the way philosophy branches off into various forms of thought, but still with some holes? All he told us is that it may not be a cave. A likely reference to Plato's Cave. Should it be a uniform color?

    Philosophically Pure Edifice?

    In my Classical Literature class this upcoming Friday we will be playing with Legos. That's right, Legos. However, we are supposed to be constructing what my teacher calls "philosophically pure edifices." We've sort of borrowed the Legos in philosophy idea from Sophie's World, which we are...

    Is this ok?

    I don't recall him calling out contradictions in the Bible.

    Problems with libertarianism

    I have not seen that, and if it is that they associate with one another, then that hardly means that they share the same flaws. I suggest you change the thread title to "Problems with Anarcho-Capitalism."

    What book(s) are you reading now?

    I just finished reading the Donnie Darko Book over the weekend, which was okay, and a little interesting, but what I enjoyed much more was Tuesdays With Morrie, which I finished yesterday. I absolutely loved it!

    Harold and Maude

    I just got around to watching this 1971 cult classic this weekend, and I must say it is now among my favorite movies. I find it rich with social commentary and philosophies that I'll hold dear the rest of my life. It feels so good to see an offbeat, odd movie that does not follow suit with...

    Do athiest think love is real?

    Fair enough, I can see why. Just remember that not all atheists use science and material reasoning to justify their atheism. Some can just disagree with the philosophy surrounding, and the concept of, God. And there are many other reasons, too.

    Do athiest think love is real?

    Atheism specifically means that you do not believe in God. It does not mean you do not believe in love or anything else that is not God. Atheism only defines that one lack of belief. Don't confuse it with anything else.

    Ask your questions about God here.

    I see, but how do you know thoe answers are correct? There is not a single variation of God.

    Ask your questions about God here.

    Then why do you quote the Bible to answer questions about God?

    Ask your questions about God here.

    So your answers are just about the Judeo-Christian God?

    If a presidential candidate admitted they were Atheist would they have any chance of winning?

    Very true. I also remember him preaching not to judge others, but by refusing to vote for an atheist candidate without knowing their policies, personality, or stance on the issues, then I would say your interpretation of Christianity is not as pure as Thomas Jefferson, or Jesus, would have hoped.

    Liberals...why?

    Only if a democrat wins. You think McCain is going to take them out? Personally, I would rather do something to either help immigrants or struggling Americans and feel the burden of taxes than have our country go to war, harming others, and stacking up trillions in debt that are looming over...

    Ask your questions about God here.

    It doesn't matter, there are thousands of variations of God.
