>>reading for plot

Not reading for plot/characters means you are reading superficially like gamers who play games simply for their graphics/special effects.
Not the plot and mechanics.

>implying historical scholarship is more trustworthy than the Word of God

uhmmm...

Among the notable things about fire is that it also requires oxygen to burn - exactly like its enemy, life. Thereby are life and flames so often compared.


Is the ocean due to the rivers, or the rivers due to the ocean? Who would decide that? So is it between God and man. The ocean wills the rivers, the river wills the ocean.

was readin' my math book today and I learned a new word!

Who woulda thought math would be useful?!

My question is, can we use jargon words like complexification outside mathematics, like in prose or speech.

lol "teleological suspension of the ethical" -- no one actually accepts this rubbish except fanatics and psychos.

>Women have greater emotional intelligence

Women are more prone to being controlled by their emotions, is what you mean. And they don't have much to show for this other than being labelled "unstable" by men.

If women had better emotional intelligence they would have some great philosophers or artists, and it would be evident in their work. It isn't.

men have the great philosophers and artists.
