You know ~ should, by pure happenstance, id.s, Totalitarianist and Amos all meet in some cozy country kitchen near Ulu Yam Baharu, I surely bet there'd be a tasty lemon meringue come of it.

Nietzsche isn't the only philosopher to talk about good and evil. I don't use his definitions.

As an atheist you should know that to imply supreme evil also implies supreme good.You can't make excuses like Bushey does and have any credibility so until you come up with something real stay away.

:boohoo:

Pot. Kettle. Black.

As an atheist, and as a human being, I'm not obligated to use words in the exact way that you do. I do not use the words good and evil to describe forces outside of human life, so there is no implied external agency.

Photons are diffracted by the lenses in the above objective.

Concious reality is subjective, hinging completely upon an observer's bias. There is a physical, material reality which exists but has no meaning and there is a reality which exists within the observer which has meaning. However, this meaning is dependant upon the observer and does not exist if the observer does not exist.

What is the matrix?

"That which does not kill us, makes us stronger." Nietzsche

But then again, Nietzsche died of syphilis.

Well, there you go. Syphilis didn't make him stronger, just stranger.

No, we don't see it.

One lack of a belief does not a system make.
