Faustus: //But since the forum is closing soon, let us resume the discussion in October. // Sure. Take your time and take care. See you in October.

To: Iraq //如某君論據誠然多(對不對題外), 又一而再、再而三、三而...强調自己不重勝負(實在很煩), 我看不過是此地無銀吧了。真正不重勝負的人，不會費時再三提醒各位的。simple as that. 另外也很同意在文字討論上不斷叫對手多讀書也是無必要亦有欠風度涵養的，把論據說清就夠，少出無謂口術技倆好了。 // 「某君」是誰？既然認為自己有理，為何不敢直言？ 這次討論是SC勝還是小孩勝，大家心裏有數。 SC是否有欠風度，是否出無謂口術，明眼人也看得明白，不用爭辯。 起碼他光明正大，有話直說，不會說「某君」要怎樣怎樣，「某君」不應怎樣怎樣。

To: JoeJoneS 小弟一向十分敬重你，但今次不駁不行。 //(續...)對於同性戀, 我是覺得有理由反對的. 理由就是愛的互補性, 在同性戀性往往都給否定的. // 有何理據？ 真心相愛互諒互重的同性伴侶有何問題？ 你要的是心靈互補, 還是性器官的互補？ 就算是李先生的「愛情宗教」，也從沒有規定對象一定是異性。 感情最重要的是內涵和質素，不在乎性器官的種類。 After all, 我們全部也是「人性戀」。 PS: reference: 一木 : 同性戀的吊詭

//但老餅由衷覺得小孩沒一般基督徒那么「迷信」，心態也比較開放和願意真心聽聽非信徒的看法。// Agree. //李生不此一次勸大家做人處世要多注重禮貌。// Very agree. //小孩的一些辨論對手容或有意無意地咄咄逼人，但我估計小孩不會放在心上的。 // I guess so.

Done.

//香港記者事實上有部份也相當 naive。有些問題真的問得再笨也沒有。// I can't agree any more than that. I rememeber on the first day when Nicolas Tse was busted and held custody by the ICAC, his parents went to visit him the other day where they bumped into a bunch of reporters near the exit of the ICAC headquarter building.

You know, sometimes I think given the ugly, selfish and trashed "properties" of human beings, it's not much a pity that they extinct.

PS: Einstein once said that he had no idea what weapons would be used in the Third World War, but for the Fourth, it would be stones and tree branches.

To: Nobody //If not, I'm afraid we shall not have another 6000-year long of human civilization. This is my belief. It's not science. // Another 6000 years? I doubt it if we have another 60 years! The only reason why we are still living here is because all those scums who have the power to press the ...閱讀更多

//其實我想知係咪真事 // I guess so. But it only applies to some (lucky) people, not all.

自有人類以來，就有戰爭，從不間斷。也只有人類滅亡以後，才可以有真正的和平。 It’s human nature to destroy themselves.

To: 麻瓜 Who sent the message?

To: Philomena //董某d idea仲正添： 政府被越多人批評，表示政府0既路線越正確。 // 印象中董某最經典idea(s): “沒有官員被查辦，証明政府是對事不對人。” “一個民主政府有問責和透明度， 香港政府有問責和透明度， 所以香港有民主。” This is equivalent of saying: “Michael Jackson有胃和肺， 董某老豆有胃和肺， 所以董某老豆就是Michael Jackson。”

President George W. Bush is visiting an elementary school today and he visits one of the classes. They are in the middle of a discussion related to words and their meanings.

To: asd I wrote my previous message just to confirm what I believed and I did.

I agree that thes...閱讀更多

To: K it O Thank you for your much overstated compliments. I am really nobody compared to those “great thinkers” in this forum. I definitely will come again in October and we can chat again then . Take care. Nice to meet you guys.

To: K it O Thanks for your brilliant summary and 99% agree with what you said. Where did the remaining 1% go? Here: //很難想像比這位daso君的思路更蠢、更胡混的了：// Unfortunatley there are in fact quite a few of them. :)

To: 小花生 //我唔係食素架 不過我唔食牛同鵝肝同生猛海鮮 有d日子會持素 試過茹素一年, 感覺非常好, 不過搞到差d家變. 軟弱, compromise左好多野! T_T // 往往最傷害自已的就是身邊口口聲聲說「愛你」及「為你好」的親人。

To: asd //當然，兩者根本不是等同，但「自我推翻 」常包含「自相矛盾」。 // Not necessarily. Take a look at the following examples: 1. “Language cannot represent truth”. 2. “Truth does not exist in this world”. 3. “說自己默默耕耘”. 4. “You shouldn't judge people”. 5. “You shouldn't count on your own judgment but should solely count on Go...閱讀更多

//你自相矛盾的行為，正正是「自我推翻」！明白麼？ // 「自我推翻 」並不等同 「自相矛盾」。

To: JPY //道: If 道 cannot be described clearly, is it merely another 「邏輯無效域」? // Another? You still think there is one? Where have you been lately? You just got back from 邏輯無效域?

To: 明月 // 相愛、不一定要有相同的興趣;與自己真正相愛的人共處時,......不快樂的愛情,太痛苦了! // Agree. //(本來想講得仔細D,不過用個死人手寫板寫咁大段野太痛苦了,重痛苦過不快樂的愛情!) // Absolutely agree!!:) PS: are you using 掌心雷?

To: daso //如果冇神0既話做乜野要去正正常常咁做人呢? // I don’t see any reason to correlate “to be a normal person” and “God exists”. You wanna elaborate any further? //只有殺人放火先有好0既生活,先有皇帝式0既享受生活. // Not necessarily.

A progress report/summary: The theme of this thread: is the existence of omnibenevolent Christian God (a mere concept) conflicting with sufferings (a universal fact)? I think the answer is “YES” while some others think the answer is “NO”. I tried to illustrate my point by asking the following questi...閱讀更多

To: Faustus Thanks for your info. According to Bernard Gert’s definition, an immoral person is one who does harm to others. Any person who doesn’t do harm to others can be regarded as “morally right” (e.g. a capable person who refuses to help victims of a car accident). I think the problem of this d...閱讀更多

To: Faustus Thanks for you explanation. It’s pretty inspiring.

To: 生命之光 //「醫生要得過愛滋，才知道什麼是愛滋，才知道如何醫愛滋。」 回答: 應該是醫生要得過愛滋, 才知道潔身自愛. // 請問你有沒有愛滋? 你是否知道潔身自愛? //在問本人有關於有沒這樣的一個母親一題上, 本人的答案已經暗藏[直接回答], 解讀方法就是運用邏輯推理, 我說[如果我有這麼一個母親...] 為什麼我只說, "如果...我有", 而不說"如果...我沒有呢? 就已經可以推理出, 我是沒有這麼一個母親. // 請問這是甚麼邏輯推理? 「如果你有一個胃，則你可以消化食物」。那我就已經可以推理出, 你是沒有這麼一個胃的。.

To: 小孩 Although I don’t fully understand what Faustus wrote, I am pretty sure of his stance and I guess you picked the wrong partner. //Faustus: I, on the whole, agree that the attributes of the Christian God (e.g., omnipotence, omniscience, omnibenevolence) lead to contradictions. Certainly, the or...閱讀更多

To: Faustus I must be very lousy. Despite your good English, I find it quite hard to comprehend what you said.

To: 張海澎 // "意義"一詞有許多種不同的意義, "無意義"一詞也有很多種不同的意義. 有時說一個問題無意義, 意思就是說 "這問題沒有客觀答案// If this is what you meant, I have no problem then. //什麼是“ultimate goal”?這也是一個沒有意義的詞語. // It is? I doubt that. What if I change it to 終極目標 or 自足價值 Will it be any better?

A friendly piece of advice = 出口術? Unreasonable, irrational, pointless = Self-justifiable(自圓其說)? Respect = shut up and believe blindly?

就算在有「明確的量化的定義」或絕不模糊時，「最」也沒有「唯一」或「第一」的意思。 如一班學生參加中文科考試，小明得一百分，小強得九十八分，其餘學生全不足八十分。我們可以說：「小明和小強是班中分數「最」高的學生。」 至於某廣告「可能是全中國最暢銷o既樓盤之一」中的「可能」只是一種保險的說法。李先生也曾經在演說中說過他們那一輩的人「可能」是最後一輩懂得尊師重道的人。這「可能」就是要把後門封了，讓別人無從駁倒。 起碼N個 = minimum N or more than N N個以上 = more than N; i.e., minimum (N+1) 起碼「N個以上」= minimum (N+1)...閱讀更多

//小花生: 但係殺雞下世會變雞我都係第一次聽, 呢d野最好唔好亂講// 我也沒聽過。 //嘩嘅: 殺李嘉誠下世會變李嘉誠？殺博士下世會變博士？ // 「殺雞下世會變雞」中的「雞」可能是指雞的統稱而不是指定的某一隻雞，不一定會變回被你殺了的那一隻雞。 所以殺李嘉誠可能下世只會變成一個人而不一定會變成被你殺了的李嘉誠。

對我來說, 人生的意義 = 智慧+ 愛情 。 Meanings of life = intelligence + love. 人生在世， 最重要的莫過於提升智慧，安定人生。知識只是對學問的追求，而智慧則是對生命本質的最根本的探索，是思考人生的意義 ( 人生是苦？何為生死，離聚？無常是苦？無我是道？ 眾生平等？ 追求公義？ )。除智慧外，情是人類的靈魂；是人和畜牲最大的分別。愛、情 ( 愛情，親情，友情 ) 是人類最高尚的情操。對受苦難的人慈悲是情的拓展， 教育好下一代則是智慧的延續。可哀的是，現今的人巳經不再重視智慧，思考和愛了。

//　方舟子- 進化論虛妄嗎？ 三、進化論是科學 判斷一個事實或理論是否科學，有一些標準，其中最著名而且已被普遍接受的一條，就是是否能被否證。也就是說，一個科學的事實或理論，必須有能夠被否證（當然也能被證實）的預測，如果它的預測在一切條件下都不可能被推翻，那是玄學或同義反復的文字遊戲，不是科學。非常遺憾地是，這條標準的提出人波普爾曾經認爲進化論不符他的標準，不是科學而對科學研究有指導作用的玄學，在他看來，進化這個事實不具有能被否證的預測，“適者生存”的自然選擇學說不過是同義反復，因而也不可能被否證。即使是波普爾這樣的大哲學家，也曾經誤解了進化論 。 進化論是否能夠有可被驗證的預測呢？完全有可能...閱讀更多

I think we should distinguish between evolution and evolution theories. Evolution is not a theory, it is a proven fact. It can be observed, tested and falsified.

Just wanna scribble down some thoughts before JPY answers my questions.
