Who do you think gets the attention for blm references and tags? Where does the money go for donations? Do they not have a specifically antichristian, anti family and socialist creed? Are they not calling for action and payment for the black vote from Biden? Sure, I don't think most people who...

Marxism, above all else, is a materialistic and atheistic/antireligion philosophy of the human person. The economic part is largely secondary as an explanation of suffering. It can be transposed into other forms such as identity politics and continue to function.As for "q anon", I'm sure most...

Who is making such a claim?

I agree with this.

I am not using a church doctrine as a proof to make my point and I'm having trouble understanding why anyone would continue to make that jump even after I've explained my intentions multiple times. It's beginning to be a bit of a straw man. I referenced the concept of being in the image and...

Again, I'm not resting my argument on theological terms. I used that language to make the point that we as a species are capable of even asking these questions and answering them and that our language ought to be used in such a way as to serve what is real and true rather than to exert power at...

Unfortunately, this is simply incorrect. The comments attributed to the pope, if they mean what they appear to at face value, would be in direct contradiction to Church teaching. The Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith has already taken this into consideration in 2003...

I have to laugh a bit here (at myself, not you...well maybe you a little as well, but not as much as at myself). No matter how hard we try it's easy to be misunderstood. This is so much more literal than I intended. I'm not necessarily talking about physically speaking, though dialogue can...

From Merriam Webster "Middle English dialoge, from Anglo-French dialogue, from Latin dialogus, from Greek dialogos, from dialegesthai to converse, from dia- + legein to speak — "So I stand by my representation of the etymology of dialogue as helpful to understanding the broader point of the...

I think you are mistaking my intention. I am not meaning to make this specifically judeo christian. My point in looking at the word dialogue and it's relation to logos was simply to illustrate what I mean. Mentioning that Christ is referred to as Logos is simply to say that the word, in the last...

You're not incorrect. But the Greek origin, and thus the latin and our own usage does indeed seem to rely on logos. Logos does mean to speak, but it's a bit of a loaded concept as it also involves the notion of truth. So it's something like truth activated in reality, which is why it is also...

We have to make a distinction between objectivity and objective truth/value itself. Objectivity is the measure confirmity to that which is objective. From there we can examine where we might be right or wrong and where our biases may or may not lead us astray. But our failures in this regard do...

Thanks for the reply. This is a really good place from which to illustrate what I mean.Unalienable rights are a good example of objective value. These rights refer to something that ought to be recognized. However, it is not a statement that they are in practice recognized. It means that there...

In this context we simply mean that truth exists outside of our personal experiences and that as rational beings we can recognize and interact with it. The belief that there is objectivity in life and that both you and I are capable of knowing it and even are responsible to do so, is the...

You should read Abuse of Language, Abuse of Power by Josef Pieper. It's a quick essay that is probably free in pdf form somewhere.I haven't watched the video in it's entirety but just a few minutes let's me know what he's talking about. Regardless of your position on particular issues, if we...

Who'd you vote for?

So we just need a benevolent dictatorship to do it for those losers, amirite?

You should probably observe more then. That said, I think it's time we (collectively, not you specifically) stop obsessing with this notion of 'amplification' and 'platforming', etc. We need to allow even those we disagree with to speak so that we can explore exactly what they say and how/why...

If you didn't engage in that activity, then why would you feel the need to defend yourself? Perhaps I wasn't talking to you.....but since you asked.Calling someone arrogant and insufferable is the very definition of an attack on the person rather than the argument. You did better in your...
