You are simply wrong to claim spiritualism somehow relies on something outside of ourselves. It is empiricism that seeks and obtains direction from outside of ourselves. There is no such thing as 100% externally sourced direction. Sometimes we are lucky and we can approach 100%, but there is always some element of internally sourced direction, some ignorance, some ambiguity, some uncertainty, some indirectness, some assumptions. Technically, we cannot be 100% certain we are always absolutely right about anything. In practice we do very well by the practical measure of “it works” without unattainable, instant, total, absolute, knowledge. Persisting in falsely claiming we obtain external guidance via spiritualism, as if that somehow fills in the gaps that empiricism cannot fill, is a mistake. Spiritualism has an important role in our day to lives as social animals, but it is not an alternative way of knowing.Explicit Atheisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05501109533475045969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10856048.post-36677932154968463592023-07-12T10:51:28.732-04:002023-07-12T10:51:28.732-04:00Not my "only caution" necessarily.

[...] The way out of that spiral is for humanity to favor a facts first orientation that is rooted in a competent, empiricist epistemology."<br /><br />Well said. It's sometimes tiresome trying to overcome my own unwillingness to accept reality--not to mention how hard it is to coax others out of this unwillingness!<br /><br />But help me understand: why is empiricism the way out? I think it makes intuitive sense, but my only caution is that it relies on human beings to collect the evidence (I think we're OK at that) and to put all the pieces together (I have my doubts about our competence there). Spiritual worldviews rely on something outside of themselves to help them make sense of the data--what would you say makes empiricism more facts-first?Harrison Dinsbeerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12471881591089997737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10856048.post-48764658781796366712023-06-08T23:09:21.231-04:002023-06-08T23:09:21.231-04:00Great readGreat readMilkshake Recipeshttps://www.milkshakeguide.com/milkshakes/strawberry_milkshake_5502382359.shtmlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10856048.post-1799692009299944132023-06-06T20:01:28.537-04:002023-06-06T20:01:28.537-04:00I have been a fan of JCSS for 50 years since my ch...I have been a fan of JCSS for 50 years since my childhood. I have a Bible-based faith and have, over time, set aside the inconsistencies of the musical production, as to enjoy the unbelievable God, gifted talent of the musicians and the singers, that have performed in countless shows all around the world: Not to mention the musical composition by Andy Webber. I pondered Judas singing superstar after he took his life. Jesus hadn’t died in body yet, however. I believe he loved Jesus, and conquered physical death. Whether or not, that was the intent of the production of Jesus Christ Superstar, that’s how I see it. This rock opera has spawned hundreds of thousands of conversations, healthy arguments and debates around the world. I believe in God, and his divine ability to use all kinds of ways, means, and people to deliver his message. Believe in the father, the son and the Holy Spirit, take them into your heart and your life, you will be forgiven.

I, on the other hand, assumed Judas was singing from Hell. The on stage dancers all wore the iconic demon color of red in the production I saw. Of course this then makes Hell look like fun when it certainly is not, but this is how I interpreted it all.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10856048.post-21951571979003483082023-01-29T03:04:13.306-05:002023-01-29T03:04:13.306-05:00استخدام ونش رفع عفش يوفر عدد هائل من المزايا على ع...استخدام <a href="https://enjzny.com/winch-lift-furniture/" rel="nofollow">ونش رفع عفش</a> يوفر عدد هائل من المزايا على عمليات النقل. يتم رفع الاثاث بشكل أسهل، وبذلك يتيح للعمال القيام بأعمال النقل بشكل أسرع وأوضح. وقد يؤدي استخدام ونش رفع العفش إلى تخفيض التلف الذي يحدث على الأثاث أثناء النقل وتوفر شركة انجزني لعملائها ونش يصل الي الادوار العالية في ثواني يقوم بانزال ورفع العفش دون ان تتعرض لخدش واحد حتي وان كان صغير.<br />CLADING2222https://www.blogger.com/profile/12736101882067160075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10856048.post-8405530384509850572023-01-29T02:51:37.859-05:002023-01-29T02:51:37.859-05:00شركة السلطان افضل شركة نقل اثاث في مصر تحرص علي تو...شركة السلطان <a href="https://sultan-eg.com/moving-furniture-in-cairo/" rel="nofollow">افضل شركة نقل اثاث</a> في مصر تحرص علي توصيل العفش بسيارات نقل حديثة علي اعلي مستوي فصناديق السيارات مجهزة من الداخل بأحدث الاربطة حيث يتم ربط كل قطعة من الاثاث لمنع حدوث رجرجة اثناء النقل و الذي يؤدي الي حدوث احتكاك بين قطع العفش ومن ثم تجريح الاثاث، لذلك سيارات نقل الأثاث لدينا مجهزة لقطع المسافات الطويله من شمال مصر حتى جنوب الصعيدCLADING2222https://www.blogger.com/profile/12736101882067160075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10856048.post-11577245217222246342023-01-12T03:13:18.490-05:002023-01-12T03:13:18.490-05:00تعتبر شركة مصر للمصاعد من اكبر شركات المصاعد في م...تعتبر شركة مصر للمصاعد من اكبر <a href="https://misrelevators.com/ar/blog/elevator-companies-in-egypt//" rel="nofollow">شركات المصاعد في مصر</a> لدينا مجموعة من المهندسين والفنيين المدربين ، مما يمكننا من توريد وتركيب وصيانة جميع أنواع المصاعد المستوردة والمحلية.<br />ESLAM UWKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09468867778348692079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10856048.post-5225530074201899272022-12-21T23:15:52.324-05:002022-12-21T23:15:52.324-05:00This is a very concise explanation, and also corre...This is a very concise explanation, and also correct (based on all I have read and thought about the issue).Ann Normannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10856048.post-41262487606071103252022-11-21T15:50:44.893-05:002022-11-21T15:50:44.893-05:00You might make the reference to Hume and the is/ou...You might make the reference to Hume and the is/ought (fact/ethical) category distinction explicit.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10856048.post-89074299142286654252022-11-17T21:45:11.734-05:002022-11-17T21:45:11.734-05:00Excellent post.

Wilson studied eusocial insects. This is a complicated issue, it requires expertise, and I lack confidence to say much more. I have a good opinion of both Wilson and Dawkins. Sometimes disagreements get heated, but I do not think less of Wilson because of the attacks against his endorsement of group selection. I do not see this as an atheist versus theist, or humanist versus non-humanist issue, at all. While I think associating with the Templeton Foundation is mistake, I am unwilling to discount someone’s intellectual work because they made that mistake. This is simply a factual question that should be, and eventually probably will be, decided by consensus of the experts.Explicit Atheisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05501109533475045969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10856048.post-44780738598052920772022-03-04T21:38:49.271-05:002022-03-04T21:38:49.271-05:00This comment has been hidden from the blog.weatamoozadrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02018653559401430500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10856048.post-69935232297624058572022-02-28T13:44:46.861-05:002022-02-28T13:44:46.861-05:00The "Making A Happy Society" book cites ...The "Making A Happy Society" book cites two of D. S. Wilson's books but not the one that most particularly justifies the group selection theory, which is "Evolution for Everyone". Natural selection applies to constituent individuals within groups and to groups themselves. The human race is a very large group that might be about to select itself out of existence. The community of humanists is a group that conceivably can evolve to become prevalent if it develops the right mutations to win the group selection sweepstakes. I recommend David Sloan Wilson's books to all humanists, to learn how we can align with the processes of evolution to build flourishing institutions.

This has led human rights activism being hijacked by bad actors. Example: the hijab controversy. Now some atheists are being gaslighted to believe hijab is empowering instead of a symbol of oppression it actually is.<br /><br />2. Some people are really entitled and frankly shameless. Eventually what they want would conflict with the right of others. I have seen way too many times how SJW force the majority to relinquish what they have by calling it a privilege to accommodate a very small minority. Especially the so-called microaggressions, this is a source of conflict that only a small number of elite minorities could afford to have. <br /><br />3. The dignity of "the oppressed" is the casualty of the social justice movement. Only those at the top of intersectional pyramid are expected to act as a moral agents while the rest have no agency. Muslim discriminating minorities? That's white colonialism's fault. Black man attacking Asian grannies? That's also white supremacy's fault. <br /><br />You shouldn't discriminate if you don't like to be discriminated? Nah..., that's the old golden rule... The new rule is past discrimination can only be remedied by present discrimination.<br /><br />The so-called "platinum rule" of social justice only applies to white people. Only white people are expected to behave virtuously while the rest of us are barbarians who have no agency of ourselves.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10856048.post-11760059238161218952022-01-19T03:27:29.340-05:002022-01-19T03:27:29.340-05:00Great article..I am looking so forward to your blo...Great article..I am looking so forward to your blogcomment and<br />I love your page on your post..
