Wish BubbaSwitzler was around to add his two cents to this debate.
No, you don't get it, thats why I'm telling you. You think you get it, which isn't the same as actually getting it. Get it?-Kakashi Hatake Virtue itself turns vice, being misapplied, And vice sometimes by action dignified-Friar Lawrence The state of mind that questions is much more important than the question itself.Any question may be asked by a slavish mind, and the answer it receives will still be be within the limitations of its own slavery...Freedom of desire for an answer is essential for the understanding of a problem-Krishnamurti

I would love to debate on the problem of evil. I would love to debate against anyone who thinks they can provide an answer to the problem. In my opinion the problem of evil makes God's existence improbable. So I challenge anyone to take me on in this debate. Edited by Paul on 04/18/09 - 03:02 AM. Reason: illiteracy

It's probably only the skeleton of an idea, but: The threshold between civilian and government; when is man government? when is he civilian?

I'd like to debate someone on regularity vs. necessity. I'll take the side of regularity theory. See: http://www.iep.utm.edu/l/lawofnat.htm

The question isn't "Which explanations do I believe?" but rather "Which explanations do I least disbelieve?" Absence of evidence THAT MUST BE THERE (i.e. implied by any claim, concept, or (its) predicates, that affects changes in/to the world) entails evidence of absence.

Would anyone be interested in a discussion on skepticism?
