Oh, no, there are many good reasons I find myself drawn to you as a friend, Uncle. We share more than just our pre-30 year old beardlessness.
I am still deliberating about whether or not to post this on facebook. I think I would if I could be sure that I would resist putting out fires or...
I gotcha.
I have trouble seeing that. Help me out. The uncreated human has never existed, and can't be made to not exist (can't be murdered). The human embryo exists, and so it can be made to not exist (murdered). But I think I'm confused about your point.
I make the assumption because of...
I think we are in agreement on happiness being a good test for morality, and that the construct of happiness is ill-defined. I'm not sure how to clear it up. We are both seeking happiness. Me as a Christian Hedonist, and you as an Atheist. On this we agree?
I disagree with the assumptions made...
Hello Rhea,
I hear you. You're not worth so little to me, but so much. I apologize if my discussion with my uncle has in some way conveyed that I value you less than God values you.
Phrasing my care for you in that way may be distasteful. I hope not. If you could come and sit with me and my...
It is a comfort to me to know that I can speak with my Uncle with whom I disagree so profoundly while not disagreeing bitterly. Thank you for your kindness in engaging with me, Uncle.
Many of my patients are desperate for this kind of dialogue, but most of them don't have friends with whom...
Hello Uncle,
It’s been three months since a proper reply. I need to take your advice, but I keep hoping for a two hour chunk of time in which to write an entire coherent response. Hope all is well.
I write up a reply last Friday, and then it disappeared. I believe you advised me to write up replies in word and then to post. I’ll take that advice now. Will reply in the next week or two.
I am planning to reply! Sorry for the delay. I just sat down to read your replies. I had time about three weeks ago to read them, but they’ve faded from memory. Hope to reply this evening, or in the next week!
I agree it's better to be nice to people than to be mean to them.
Here are a string of questions I have for myself and for you: "Is happiness something objective (something that doesn't change)? Is happiness a feeling? Is it both? If it is both, does having happiness demand the feeling of...
Regarding what I think was a successful post:

We have geeked out over Race for the Galaxy before. With oversized dandelions and clear blue water in view. And a large mountain named McKinley. I'd enjoy that one.
That I recollect, I haven't...
I imagine there is a delete button if I need it.... We'll see how this goes.
Agreed. We all have our presuppositions and the practical implications that they carry.
That response makes sense. Church could kill after all...but golfing may make a person want to kill...
I'm going to try out my netiquette in response to this post...I tried before and it didn't fly.
I was able to watch the video. Fascinating!
I couldn't find the article, but that's depressing for the company. In my profession legislation missing the oxford comma actually resulted in patients...
Greetings wiploc,
Thank you for taking the time to engage with me on this topic. I apologize for the delayed reply. Sick family on this end. Well mended now, and sleeping.
"Thatguysnephew is curious about atheist morality, what it's like, how it works."
I am! My curiosity stems from the...
