Jay is an engineer?  Sweet.

What is the Doctrine of Eternal Resurgence?  Give me a link to it, I'll read it and provide my thoughts.  Wikipedia doesn't count.  Or better yet, give me a 1-5 sentence explanation and I'll formulate my own views from scratch without any article bias from reading sources.

"i copulated with women"

lol who the fuck says taht
that's why i said he must be a 'sprger.

a) who uses a thesaurus when they post here? seriously.

b) copulate is, like, a zoological term. it's so scientific it wouldn't even come up in most sex-ed classes. you do not tell a friend you "copulated" last night.
a) I use it here all the time.  I want to impress you because I think drugged up boiler room hipster doctorates are sexy as fuck.

b) Best word ever.  Seriously though, in keeping with the tone of the post, I deliberately used that word instead of "I fucked her".

i'm not sure you can sum up high-level philosophy in 1-5 sentences. nor can you understand an idea in its entirety without being familiar with the doctrine from the ancient greeks onwards. that's the thing with these non-engineering subjects: they take work and actual reading.

let's just make it easier: what do you think nietzsche's famous 'god is dead' statement means? that one can at least be understood literally without needing to have read aristotle.

I'm not sure of the context of that statement (I might have read it years ago but forgot).  To take that statement solely at face value with a sprinkle of philosophy, I take it to mean that (in brief):
- We have a history of creating a God(s) and religion based around it.
- Morality is "created" from these religious works/teachings.
- Different societies create different God(s) and religions.
- Sectarian violence (disagreements) amongst these societies undoubtedly arise because each God(s) and its associative religion define themselves as being omnipotent (ie. there can only be one).
- All this violence is created by us in the first place from the inception of an omnipotent being that dictates our morality.  Also, the clashes between different religions (or its sects) contradicts the morality dictated for us in the first place.
- We've effectively killed morality (ie. the God(s) we associated ourselves with) in this sense.

It's 10:40 PM so this is the best I can muster at this hour given no context.  There's also a point about basic human instinct/nature that I wanted to mention but it'd be too long.

I have a feeling that that statement is anti-religious (I'm an agnostic atheist).  Trying to point out that religion will always end up in a state of corruption and "immoral" behavior (relative to the morals of the religion under discussion).

agnostics still acknowledge spirituality and the possibility of some sort of metaphysical or (neo-)vitalist 'force' out there. something immaterial and above the limits of empiricism/positivism or rationality. atheists do not believe there is any deity. they are subtly different. agnostic suggests you're curious and open to possibilities. atheist means you live pretty squarely on terra firma.

I've heard that sort of convention explained that the "agnostic" part acknowledges you do not "know" there is or isn't a good, but he believes there is not (i.e. atheist).

pointless tautology. no atheist (or theist) can ever conclusively prove the existence or non-existence of god. that means everyone would have to append 'agnostic' in front of atheist, technically. pointless.

Exactly.  Except for Dawkins who seems to be pretty sure.  Or what he calls "militant".

So you're agreeing with him that what you said was pointless?

I'm a technical guy so I pride myself on being articulate by placing "agnostic" in front of it.

But I dis-associate myself from those atheists which are militant in nature which seems to be the prevailing trend amongst many liberals/redditors.  I have no qualms with religion or God, just don't force it on me and we're peaches and cream.

if you pride yourself on being technical, remove the 'agnostic' part of 'agnostic atheist'. because it is a tautology. i.e. it is completely redundant. it renders a precise meaning imprecise. drop it.

That's the thing, by removing it I am henceforth associated with "militant" atheists.  It's a meaning that has been coined by Dawkins and permeated so much within the realm of atheism/theism that it has effectively been associated with regular atheists (ie. you're either with us or not).

By appending it, I rid myself from them.

I don't know, I think it works. You're open to belief through evidence but you currently don't hold either. Agnostic Christianity (or theism), on the other hand, while a valid term, makes me giggle.

Look up agnostic theism. Self-identified agnostic Christians claim to be agnostic because "blah blah I don't follow the church to the letter or attend or belong to one" but still hold an Abrahamic view of God.
