Also, I fully agree with you that Nietzsche did not consider himself a nihilist. He fully embraces a philosophy of life. I've long recognized...
Nietzsche was using the whole passage to show that those in heaven rejoice in the sufferings of those in hell in Aquinas' view. But he only looks...
Well the natural law would be one way. It's not to hard to come up with a basic set of rights that are inherent in every individual, and the...
With the caveat being that a society that recognized natural rights would be more prone to see violations of the natural law in laws that were not...
Well, not if they are blanket rights inherent in man. OF course, you need to separate natural rights from civil rights. Locke didn't invent the...
I follow. Are they inherent in man? Why? What keeps the government from taking them away.
Sorry about that. Think of the Declaration of Independence, and the notion that man is endowed by his creator with certain unalienable rights....
That's my exact argument. I'm not a huge Lockeian, but he's definitely the best Enlightenment thinker. Side note: Where do secular...

Dude. You aren't a Catholic in good standing when you murder 6 million people and start a war. I'm just saying that might be a mortal sin. That...
Really? I would not have figured you to be a utilitarian.
That's fine, but what Nazi fascism was had nothing to do with religion. The bottom line is there are problems with a government that doesn't...
Ummm. The will to power? Nietzsche pretty much makes the case that Christianity effeminated the Roman Empire. At the very least, it wasn't a...
I'm not sure, but I think he recanted that at some point. When they went all in, they went all in. At the very least, the 3rd Reich was not...
On the online test, 1 and 2 were Augustine (100%) and Aquinas (88%).
Yeah I always find the Religion is the cause of all evil and all the death and all the wars argument a bit ridiculous, especially in light of 20th...
