The Platonians, The Predeterminites, The Freewillians, and the Metaphysicians.

EDIT: you could have the predeterminites and the freewillians battle. The freewillians get to pick the question (free will) and the predeterminites have to answer the question the freewillians ask (no free will)

Answer by preachershoe
Modern science was created by Christians.

a Christian created the scientific method

Christians started modern astronomy, chemistry, biology, geology

It was the Christian culture that gave us the Scientific Revolution. Without Christianity / Judaism, the entire world would still be pre-industrial and there would be no modern science. Not all cultures develop science without outside help. The ancient Greeks were making progress, but that was quite some time ago. It was the Christians and our love of books and learning that kept (at least some) of the ancient works extant. There was slow scientific progress through the so-called Dark Ages. Though even in these “Dark Ages” Christians were making more scientific progress than anyone on the planet. Then a Christian gave us the scientific method and learning in that field accellerated. Basically everyone associated with the Scientific Revolution was a Christian. Most were devout and many were clergy. The various scientific fields were founded by Christians. Modern science is a gift to the world given by Christians. There is no way around that without changing history, so many have tried to change history. This merely shows people’s unwillingness to see the truth.

The Rhubarb Tart Song, sung by John Cleese and The 1948 Show Choir Lyrics: I want another slice of rhubarb tart. I want another lovely slice. I’m not disparaging the blueberry pie But rhubarb tart is oh so very nice. A rhubarb what? A rhubarb tart! A whatbarb tart? A rhubarb tart! I want another slice of rhubarb tart! The principles of modern philosophy Were postulated by Descartes. Discarding everything he was uncertain of He said ‘I think therefore I am a rhubarb tart.’ A rhubarb what? A rhubarb tart! Rene who? Rene Descartes! Poor Marx he thought he was a rhubarb tart! A rhubarb tart has fascinated all the poets. Especially the immortal bard. He made Richard the Third call out at Bosworth Field: ‘My kingdom for a slice of rhubarb tart!’ Immortal what? Immortal tart! A rhubarb what? A rhubarb bard! As rhymes go that is really pretty bard! Since Wassily Kandinski and Paul Klee Laid down the axioms of abstract art Even Jackson Pollock and Piet Mondrian Preferred to paint a slice of Rhubarb tart A Wasi- who? A Wassily! A Candin- who? a Candinty And how did he get in here for a start? Read all the existentialist philosophers, Like Schopenhauer and Jean-Paul Sartre. Even Martin Heidegger agrees on one thing: Eternal happiness is rhubarb tart. A rhubarb what? A rhubarb tart! Jean-Paul who? A Jean-Paul Sartre! That sounds just like a rhyme from Lionel Bart! I’m sorry… If however you’re a beekeeper, accountancy, Sir, General-in-Command, Our advice to you is always go to work

Is there a name for this philosophy? Religion, lifestyle, personality?

Friday, May 14th, 2010

Categorize me.

I am the center of the universe. Everything revolves around me. Perception isnt reality, My Reality is the true reality. Minus my senses, existence ceases. Christianity’s simply a means of explaining the key to success. I believe there is only one fundamental absolute truth: There is no truth. Everything I do and say follows the fact of Existence. Relativity is the absolute. I have no personal secrets. Secrets harbor insecurity. I lack normal empathy. I don’t believe in miracles, God, or the supernatural. I perform mircales, pray to God, and have OBEs. Everything can be explained. I am greater than my consiousness. I = God = Existence = Natural = TheWholeOfEverything = BiblicalLove = Perfection. The only sin = lack of faith. I enjoy every thing in life, including that which I don’t enjoy. I hate anxiety and live an anxiety-free life. I am completely happy and teach others how to be. Also, every thing is real and has an effect, including the imaginary.
I have been named: narcissist (NPD), Christian, atheist, existentialist, witch, wizard, magician, psychopath (APD), optimist, docetist, gnostic, metophysicist, nudist, nakedist, realist, fundamentalist, relativist, absolutist, mystic… I want a more acurate, comprehensive title.

Philosophy, psychology, sociology, religion, etc.
