Bairnardo Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 The duality of mind and body has challenged some of western civilizations greatest thinkers for millennia from Plato through Descartes to the modern day They never really cracked it The idea that Graham Linehan or Eddie Izzard would be able to neatly sum it up in 256 characters is ludicrous You say that, but Oaksoft of Pie and Bovril has made some pretty definitive declarations on the matter here. I can imagine Plato resting a little easier now that the matter has been closed by an Internet fantasist. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mind you his post was 1000 characters long so it would need to be cut down a bit for use outside the rarefied intellectual environment of P&B.

RawB93 Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 @bennett not an LGBT+ ally despite claiming to be gay on here is a desperately sad reminder of just how much shite transfolk still have to wade through. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People red and green dot posts for a variety of reasons. I've greenied posts I definitely don't agree with but I admire the chutzpah, or because it was eloquent, or they used a particular word, or if I liked the GIF. I'm not sure why you believe that being gay would make you automatically an ally of all LGBTQ+ people. It's a broad old church. Gay people aren't a monolith (step right this way, Kenneth).

The lgbt is not one voice, being gay doesn't mean that I have to follow certain viewpoints. I think that 8 years old is far too young an age to be making those decisions. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yours going to be shocked when you find out how vile some lesbians can be in this "debate".

The 4th official seems to have fallen into this trap after his bleating about folk singing during the queen's memorials but he(?) is now a champion of free speech.

I find it very strange that people can just claim that ‘god thinks this’ or ‘jesus would be sad at the thought of a person changing gender’ when actually if you ever really look at writings about Jesus he was essentially a big hippie socialist guy to put a modern label on it. There’s also a very interesting school of thought which suggests Jesus was partial to spending the night with Paul and that they were lovers. How people can take the sorta consensus held through most theologic academia about Jesus and try and suggest that he would defend their ultra conservative dogma or embody this really hate filled position they take on life suggests to me they havent got the grasp on their religion in the way they should. It’s almost like they are using their ‘faith’ and twisting it to suit a very narrow agenda which has no basis in historical context or logic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only people who will criticise and ridicule it are those of us outwith the influence of religious organisations. Much of the brainwashing that goes on in religion centres on not challenging the teachings. Of course it’s much worse in some religions, that’s why you can’t have an open discussion with a Jehovah’s Witness or a Muslim about their religion. Probably some Catholics too, though less so than in years gone by. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This also applies to people whose faith is in a rudimentary, partial understanding of science. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
