what is the beggining of philosophy?

I do apologize RexRed please do not take it personal as I question every thing and everyone.
It is nice when others share evidence or a link when I do not know for certain of something.
The pope may seem like a nice person to some but dont you agree that people schould question some of what he says?

This is old but I find it to be educational and the nice thing about it is that it is explained on a elementary level! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qm-0Z0ceezQ&p=DE942E7A92C9D456&playnext=1&index=29

**** the pope and **** religion, I feel like I got a fist up my ass from these religion mongers, haters and terrorists. (Not that I know what that feels like but I can easily imagine.) Every day I hate religion more, I am in favor of the UN outlawing the brainwashing... come to prayer three times a day hog wash pig bullshit. I hate Allah, God, Jehovah, Krishna and the pink hairbrush sitting on my toilet . Don't know what more to say. Enough already! Religion is the source of all evil. Time to give it a flush and rid the world of this big giant stinky turd.

I see it close as you do but your are able to put it more elegently than me.

haha elegantly lol

Merry ******* Christmas.

Being against something is a religion in itself.

Ha Ha - Hypocrisy will out.

Mark...

I don't know that your assertion can be supported... Philosophy at its most extreme, when it forces people to choose between modes of thought such as the dogmatic and the pragmatic cannot be classed as religion... The presumption of a good does not presume a God, nor does the presumption of a relative good require an absolute God... Religions, dogma and denominations do a great injury to human kind, and the problem is too big to confront directly... It does no good to flail at the branches of evil when the roots present such an inviting target... Why do the sheep flock to religion??? Two reason predominate: Ignorance and lonliness... Our forms do not work, do not give us unity, nation, or happiness... People needing community, and refuge from a heartless society move to equally heartless denominations which present a kinder side to their members... The believers are victims... To attack a religion is to attack believers... Attack ignorance, and attack failed forms, and offer an alternative to failed forms that does not involve a retreat into ignorance, and people may think twice...

There is a common picture of Jesus holding a lamb that is a warning to all free thinking people... A lost lamb, prone to wandering had its foot smashed, and the shepard then had to carry the lamb from place to place, and even when healed th e lamb was forever crippled... Believers are crippled... They are victims... Just do not allow yourself to made a victim by victims...

You seem to always have a good way of looking at things Fido!

Oh let me take back that word always and say often instead because you sometimes get things wrong like the rest of also. LOL

No one does it alone.. Everyone has their strengths and weaknesses..

At the beginning, or near enough, there was the town clerk of Ephesus, Heracleitus ( circa 540--489 BC), aka the weeping philosopher and that nutjob Democritus of Abdera who was the laughing philosopher ( 460/57--356 BC). The latter, according to Robert Burton, would "laugh heartily at a variety of ridiculous objects he saw".

So I assume that anybody not sobbing his heart out or pissing his pants at the plethora of ridiculous objects the modern philosopher has to contend with can not really be considered a proper philosopher at all.

Selling paperbacks with lurid titles to render the sweet pretty things intelligent with MOR bullshit is just a job. A nice one too.

Hi Spendius Thank you for your reply.
If I am not mistaken you know that evolution is incorrect, am I right or am I wrong?
The reason I ask is because it is a new study for me and I have a few questions about it?

RL, sorry about buggering up your post. Sometimes I am two left brains trying to avoid collision.

The beginning of philosophy probably started with a profound question of some sort, but i will say that the end of philosophy is certainly not religion.

Religion is not "human wisdom" but it is human gullibility and stupidity.

You will have to say what you mean by evolution. And whether your definition justifies making it the fundamental moral and ethical base of society's socialisation process in place of the Christian tradition.

If it is a new study for you my best advice is to take no notice of the sort of stupid remarks above made by RexRed. He just hates Christianity because it refuses to enthusisatically embrace homosexuality and a few other sexual deviations even though the Church has no power to prevent them.

If Rex wanted the Dolphins to beat the Patriots last night he would consider the Patriots' defense "stupid" for trying to prevent the Dolphins from scoring. If he were stuck in a traffic jam I imagine he would consider all the other motorists "stupid and gullible" for being on the road at the same time as himself.

You are not buggering up my thread, you are sharing your points of view.
I am just glad that you are doing so!
