Re: Looking for a discussion
Anyone that uses Richard Milton as an authority on anything can be justifiable ignored.
quote:
Milton's claims have been criticised as pseudoscience by philosophy professor Robert Carroll.[7] Milton appeared on The Mysterious Origins of Man, a television special arguing that mankind has lived on the Earth for tens of millions of years, and that mainstream scientists have suppressed supporting evidence.[8] Milton's claims on the age of mankind have also been criticised for scientific inaccuracy.[9] Milton's "Best of Enemies" [Page 167] quotes David Irving as a source on Hitler, despite the fact that Irving was jailed for Holocaust denial, and is no longer generally regarded as a reliable source by Holocaust scholars.

Facts don't lie or have an agenda. Facts are just facts "God did it" is not an argument. It is an excuse for intellectual laziness.

Re: Did God Become An Ant In Order To Understand Humanity?
God had to become an ant to understand ants.
I thought the dude was omniscient. So he is not omniscient? Do you not understand your religion?

Re: Did God Become An Ant In Order To Understand Humanity?
I agree with the idea that christianity started out as a mystery religion. The early writings are infused with ideas and rituals that match other mystery religions of the time. I wonder when all references to the sacred prostitutes was expunged.

WTF does this have to do with anything? Do you know what a mystery religion is?

Re: Two Sides To Every Argument
There is one side to Barker's story. His. Everything else is just people trying to prop up and defend their own beliefs.

Re: If you say so
But the conservatives do not follow these principles. Show me one. John Kenneth Galbraith - Wikipedia

Re: Countering Galbraiths extreme Liberalism...
The thing about uncle miltie(do you know who he is?) is that many of his ideas and theories have shown to be bullshit and he was a failure as an economist and a policymaker. First of all the quote I presented was about conservatives. Friedman was not a conservative, he was a libertarian. Milton Friedman's "Shareholder" Theory Was Wrong - The AtlanticMilton Friedman: a study in failure | Richard Adams | The Guardian If he was a truly honest person he would looked at the western socialist countries for his comment instead of the authoritarian countries that he admired. Look into his support of Pinochet in Chile, his admiration of the chinese governement. Your turn. Criticize Galbraith.

Re: If you say so
Did you research uncle miltie? Do you support his "screw the little people" theory of economics?

Re: If you say so
So your answer is no. There are no liberals proposing such a thing and your are just making this up.
