Quote:well once the replies to my posts become repetitive and add no value, but rather say the same "I believe this and I believe that", there's not much more to say...Philosophy is all about beliefs and non beliefs

 

To me, "philosophy" is not about unalterable beliefs and non-beliefs, it's about facts and logic and the willingness to examine your own assumptions and challenge your own beliefs.   Without that, there is no discussion, there's only a statement of beliefs, and that's the end of it.   The title of the thread  is "Philosophy Discussion."

The problem with that is, that there are not always facts to back up your beliefs...Once again I'm walking on the edge of the razor thin line into religion...While some believe in the existence of the big bang therory, and that we humans evolved from a different species over millions of years, the other major belief (of which we can not talk about) can not be backed up by fact...

How do you define what is right?

Right and wrong is strictly based on opinion.

Philosophy often times has you argue a certain point of view even if it isn't your own. One way to open your mind and allow yourself to question and/or learn new things. Many kids know Santa Clause brings them gifts each Christmas. If they never questioned that or always argue what they believed with their fingers in their ears, they would be 30 years old still thinking Santa Clause is bringing them gifts.

Didn't Beyonce already explain this?  "Everything is in the box to the left."  They teach this stuff in elementary school.
