'Notion'; 'Reality'; "Concept'; Mental'; Lawxxanalytic philosophers question these human constructs ad infinitum. Nonetheless, we still employ these suspect terms. The point is that human beings have thought, for thousands of years, that Yahweh sent Moses down to the children of Israel with stone tablets, inscribed by the finger of God, bearing law whereby Yahweh had the notion that he could determine these children in their conduct ; since then, (be it fiction, or, whatever) men have, with tremendous travail, employed "law"; now, I am here pursuing a theoretical destruction of the notion "law", I, we, have to use some semiotic unit to say that Yahweh conceived "law". Precisely brewer, "law", in a very vigorous sense, does not in fact exist as a Platonic form type of being, and so on and so on; however there is a very real sense in which "law" is here, within our sociosphere, and we have reached the point where we so radically over-apply the theoretical construct that is "law", that "law" is become destructive of human beings who quit their businesses because law has required so much of them that they cannot function...and on and on and on...there are examples of our having reached the point in our civilization, where law is a maladaptive means to attaining civilization....Thank you mh.brewer. Negaato.
Man employed law(s) addressing human conduct prior to Yahweh. Using Yahweh as the source or motive for law is a fallacy.

J. Attacking belief in God is not my goal. My goal is to demonstrate, via explaining what a certain school of philosophy deems to be the true modus operandi of human origination of an act, that the gods I named are not Deity, because they clearly do not understand how their putative creation, man, ticks when it comes to originating acts.
I was pointing out two distinct views, mine, and that of traditional theology, both of which contradict Sartre. If my view is correct, then enough said. However, even if my view is not correct, the view you are challenging - that of traditional theology - likely can withstand the challenge for reasons of its own. I was not claiming that both views are simultaneously correct, so there is no contradiction. For what it's worth, I don't agree with traditional theology, but if attacking the belief in God is your goal, your argument needs to be sufficient to persuade people holding to such beliefs. Otherwise you are just wasting your time.
Quote:your argument needs to be sufficient to persuade people holding to such beliefs. Otherwise you are just wasting your time.
I do not want to prove anything, in person, to believers. After a long conversation with a wonderful Amish man, I subsequently apologized to him for doing such a totally fucking rude asshole thing as presenting, directly in his wonderful face, an ontological disproof of God. I simply wont to set forward, in writing, a viable, unquestionable, philosophical theory of the absence of Deity in the character of Jesus Christ, because I am sick of hearing how I should sign my entire life over to this Christ dude, and let him run my fucking life, for the past seventy years now ! I am an absolute ontological freedom in possession of a reflective understanding of my absolute ontological freedom, I want to attempt to run my own life, not drop that life and become some fuck's underling ! ; because he is God, and died for my fucking sins !
Quote:likely can withstand the challenge for reasons of its own.
nothing could withstand my destruction, not challenge, its too fucking true because it derives right out of the personal ontological structure of everyone, which is an indubitable structure, meaning the double nihilation.
Quote:contradict Sartrehow on earth would you do a theoretical destruction of omins determinatio est negatio !?

Precisely, robvalue, I did that once, and, you are correct, I am sure, hoping the goddamn computer robot, who thinks he is smarter than I, will, ultimately let me use my language in my way. I usually check my writing as close as possible even when tired, and, when I realized this robot dude was wreaking havoc, and making me look stupid I got all shook-up, and, your advice is the solution !

Also, for all of negatio's attempts to dazzle us with vocabulary, most of it is simply riddled with too many flourishes and odd turns of phrase ("while, all the while," using "ilk" without an established reference, etc.). Good writing is elegant. I mean, take the following:
Quote:Since age thirteen I have spent sixty years reading philosophical writing that takes years and years to understand, and, I thought others relished the same process of encountering a written text which is seemingly unintelligible, and, after tremendous effort, coming to find that it is an absolutely beautiful ilk of thought poetry which transforms you being
A quick rewrite would be:
Quote:Since age thirteen I have spent sixty years reading philosophy that takes many years to understand, let alone master. I thought others relished the same process of encountering text which is seemingly unintelligible at first, but, after tremendous effort, finding that it is actually beautiful thought poetry which transforms your very being
Small changes, but the removal of cruft makes it easier to read. Like I implied before, there's a difference between style and cramming in as many words as you know.
Assuming you're not a troll (of which I'm absolutely not convinced), learn to edit yourself and accept that in a attempt to transmit ideas, any language that distracts from that transmission should be omitted. More isn't always better, and requests for clarification aren't an indication of a simple mind. But, my degree is in communication, so what do I know?
