azurephilosopher asked:


While it is true that Philosophy does discuss Religion, it involves questions about the nature of existence, or the ethics of religion. Questions about what we think god is like or what you should do to get to heaven have no place here, and should be posted on the religion forum. I’m tired of listening to people spout about the kingdom of heaven. No offense, but this is not the place.

heeltap asked:


The Q’s are either miscategorized or the askers seeking and those answerers offering psychlogical advice have no knowledge or understanding of what the subject of philosophy is about. Are people doing homework in a philosophy course the only one’s asking real philosophy Q’s?
sidenote:
Doing & discussing philosophy is a life-long interest which I enjoy even though it is hard to do with so many different interesting philosophies and so many good philosophers.
For example, of the current list of “Open Questions in Philosophy”

Tell me not, in mournful numbers, Life is but an empty dream!?
How could I kill someone without ending his/her life?
What does the cover of Their Eyes Are Watching God resemble?
How many replicas of things are there is the world and can they be exactly the same? ”

Only the last one is remotely philosophical.
note:word “many” in philosophy means “some”, not “all.”
Another sampling or typical Q’s in the category that have no place being aked here

“Open Questions in Philosophy
If Adam never gave Eve the apple, would we be thinking of hex and presents as we do now?
Where Did You Find Love Today?
What’s the best thing that happened to you today?
why there is lust of money in every human being (especially ladies) ?

Resolved Questions in Philosophy
Philosophy – What’s the big deal?
Is there an award that is not “fixed” in some way?
What could i do to get new direction in life?
Why in the world? ”

I think the evidence for the observation in my Q is overwhelming and beyond dispute.
