I appreciate your thoughtful response, but will admit being confused with the references to Marxism, as I don't see the relevance of one's political position to their metaphysical views I will confess a certain ignorance to philosophy particularly metaphysics, as a pragmatist I personally don't understand the need to ask myself questions to which there are no answers. The idea of an ultimate/higher power for our moral intuition to me is unnecessary. First, by simply reading different religious texts it clearly shows that they are not compatible, ie: a works religion (Hindu) vs. one of faith (Christianity). Second, Altruism can be found solely through selfishness, I don't like being harmed so I won't harm others. Our evolutionary development has hard wired us into having empathy. No god needed

No sir , I asked you to define evolution in the way biologists do . You couldn't, therefore anything you say is the literal definition of ignorant.

Why is it necessary to have meaning or purpose? In my opinion the need for one's life to have purpose is just a lack of humility, the universe cares nothing about the life of either a single human or the collective. We only have one life we know about, so if you need meaning why not just live a good life?

So you base your understanding of one of the most evidenced theories in science on your opinion? Using terms like "Darwinism" and confusing abiogenesis with evolution further proves you are completely ignorant on the topic. If you're not even able to steel man the other side position, you're opinion is not worth anything and make your views irrelevant.

Would you please define evolution in a couple sentences in the way the evolutionary biologists that have spent years studying would. Thank you

I think he thinks Jesus was a white guy from the Americas, maybe a cowboy or something like that

Capitalism is built on coveting Ie; keeping up with the Jones Capitalism is also built on theft, particularly when it comes to property Ie; look at how many hard working people have to rent because the rich own all the property What about.... Galatians 6:2 carry each other's burdens this way you will fulfill the law of Christ Or Acts 2:44-45 all the believers were together and had everything in common, selling their possessions and goods giving to anyone in need Or of course Mathew 22:22 render unto Caesar that which belongs to Caesar You should actually try reading the Bible not just listening to how other people interpret it so they can enrich themselves., because you sir do not know Christ

I just bought a 300$ pair of shoes online getting shipped from overseas, seems to me we're a long way from anything that isn't capitalism

Could you please show what in scripture supports your contention that Christian values don't align with socialism. Thank you

1. Maybe? It's no secret the U.S spends as much a the ten next counties on the military, pretty obvious it affects their GDP 2. You think? What else could or would I be talking about? 3. Ponzi scheme? What are you talking about? I made absolutely zero allegations of malfeasance. You used one metric (GDP per capita) to say how rich the U.S was. All I'm saying is you have to look at both sides of the ledger, this is as basic of and economic principle as you can get

First the US GDP is over inflated, because of the military industrial complex amongst other things. More importantly,the real metric of economic strength is the GDP to debt ratio and in the US it's very high

Could you please steel man the theory of evolution as explained by scientific concensus in one or two sentences. Just in case to "steel man " means to address the other persons argument in its Strongest form

Don't believe in feminism? In that case, shut up and go make me a sandwich

I do like muffins Not begging you just see no point in conversing with someone that spends as much time on a pointless Internet forum. I've been here over three years have 400 posts, you've been here two months have 2000. Why would I waste my time on someone who doesn't seem to have a life? I work, volunteer, play sports, engage in social activities etc.., you argue with people on an anonymous forum. In my experience people that have something to contribute to society do , those that don't spend their time trying to prove to random strangers how smart they are. Scare me? Please you're not even clever enough to get under my skin, pity would be the closest thing to my sentiments for you. But you keep being a keyboard warrior, I'll go actually live life. Sound good kiddo?

First of all thank you 1) I actually think foster care gives one certain advantages, knowledge of self, independence, etc... In some aspects I had a bigger network than many. I had multiple "parents" with different strengths and weaknesses I could learn from, not to mention all the professionals I saw psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, etc... 2) I've seen that. My take, money not earned is money easily spent 3)I'm definitely not humble, I have many skills others don't but at the same time lack many skills others have It was exceptional that I took issue with, i believe most reasonably intelligent people with a little bit of elbow grease can flourish in today's Canada

1)What no? 2) I make pretty good spaghetti sauce myself mot******ker hahahaha great song 3) i don't think I do

Always with the adhoms, but I'm not intelligent Ok kiddo, go play with someone else

Nope just a regular everyday normal guy ( check out that song by Jon lajoie) Look at life in which way I'm sorry I don't understand Life is what you make it? It's like my creed, I've been through some pretty crazy things and what got me out was a positive outlook

Hmmm ? Title written in the first person and the post just bashing Trudeau, maybe less reading comprehension and more poor writing skills. Forgive me for assuming you were poor, it's just with the time you spend on a pointless Internet forum picking fights lead me to believe your earning potential wasn't very high

I can of course only speak to my reality but Me exceptional? No. I'm a reasonably intelligent person who has worked very hard for what I have but started with nothing. Did I get a bit of good luck? Probably. Terrible? no. Lazy, often But I am a firm believer in life is what you make it, so for the most part people are where they deserve to be (excluding of course those without the mental or physical capacity to succeed)

You're now the second person I've seen on here blaming " voting Liberal" or Trudeau " for your poor financial situation Maybe get off your ass and work a little harder, make better financial decisions and stop expecting the government to take care of you ( though I do find it humorous that you're doing exactly what the right says the left does, ie needing gov hand outs) I'm in my late 30's, I'm a foster kid that was homelessat 15 and dropped out of highschool and I don't need anything from the government. I have my own home, run my own business and have made my own plans for retirement (at 55 if all goes well). But you keep telling yourself you're poor because of that meany Justin, hopefully I'll be walking down the street you're pan handling on and I can kick you down a few bucks of my hard earned money for you to eat

Y'all sound like a bunch of dudes that can't get laid, so instead of looking inward you blame women that are too "sensitive". Sad

Northern Canada is an amazing place with some incredible people, it's so interesting to meet people from the same country that grew up with different traditions, history, spiritually etc... Than that of western Europeans And during the summer you can tee off at 9pm and still shoot 18

So you think your opinion trump's that of those who have spent their entire lives studying? You're not worth conversing with

Like I said I spent some time up north (you chose to ignore this) and spent some time with the Dene they had oral traditions going back hundreds of years about migration , they told these stories to archeologists who went to the places they mentioned and found proof. Now that alone offers more scientific evidence then the entire bible
