Philosophy 201 Guidelines

Cogito ergo sum

Here in the Philosophy forum we will talk about all the "why" questions. We'll have conversations about the way in which philosophy and theology and religion interact with each other. Metaphysics, ontology, origins, truth? They're all fair game so jump right in and have some fun! But remember...play nice!

    Not sure I even understand this question.

    If your whole worldview rests on a particular claim being true, you damn well better have evidence for it. You should have tons of evidence.

      Atheism is the cult of death, the death of hope. The universe is doomed, you are doomed, the only thing that remains is to await your execution...

          Your decision would either be right or wrong.

            I don't always know what is right and wrong, and I don't think all moral issues are objective, some are, some aren't. So I'm not understanding what you're asking.

              I was repyling to seer's question, in so far as I could make sense of it. I think he was asking how does one know if a particular moral decision he/she makes is the morally right or wrong decision. I agree with you in that we don't always know what is the best thing to do in the interests of all concerned in any given situation.
