In this episode, Ben Bayer reads aloud his article, “Debunking the Supernaturalism That Haunts Secular Ethics.” In that essay, he examines secular thinkers' approach towards ethics. As he argues, scientists like Richard Dawkins accept ethical claims that are fundamentally based on religious thinking. To combat this approach to ethics, we need a naturalistic alternative: and one has been offered by Ayn Rand. Bayer's article was originally published in New Ideal, the Ayn Rand Institute's journal, on October 11, 2023.
Antický filozof a sofista Protagoras to zhrnul jasne: Človek je mierou všetkých vecí - toho čo je, že je; toho, čo nie je, že nie je. V kocke definoval to, čomu sa dnes vo filozofii hovorí konštruktivizmus, ale dnes sa chcem s vami zamyslieť nad niečim iným a Protagora použijem ako premosteniu k výroku amerického filozofa Wilfrida Sellarsa, ktorý rovnako slávne povedal, že je to práve veda, ktorá je mierou všetkých vecí. ----more---- V kocke definoval to, čo tradične nazývame ako naturalizmus: realita je materiálnej a reduktivistickej povahy, ktorú vie študovať, popísať a spoznať moderná vedecké metóda, v skratke "veda". Takto chápaný naturalizmus sa dnes tiež zvykne nazývať fyzikalizmus a tvrdenie, že veda je mierou všetkých vecí tiež označujeme ako scientizmus. Liberálny naturalizmus, z ang. "liberal naturalism", je pozícia, ktorá má s takto zúženou interpretáciou prírody a sveta problém - a i keď odmieta existenciu Boha ako supernaturálnej bytosti, stále uznáva, že naša realita obsahuje aj nemateriálne veci ako etické a estetické hodnoty či slobodnú vôľu a morálnu zodpovednosť, a nič z toho nie je ilúzia či evolučná projekcia našej mysle. A o tomto všetkom vás chcem dnes rozrozmýšľať.

(...) Je všeobecne známe, že moderná veda nám priniesla odčarovanú predstavu o svete prírody. Správne ocenenie vedy znemožňuje zachovať si, snáď s výnimkou nejakej symbolickej podoby, bežnú stredovekú predstavu prírody ako naplnenej významom, ako knihy obsahujúcej posolstvá a poučenia pre nás. Tendencia vedeckého pohľadu je očistiť svet od významu. (...) Hume je prorokom par excellance tejto tendencie, hoci si celkom neuvedomuje jej historické vysvetlenie. Rozum, zdôrazňuje Hume, nenachádza vo svete význam alebo zrozumiteľný poriadok; naopak, akýkoľvek zrozumiteľný poriadok v našom obraze sveta je produktom operácií rozumu a tieto operácie sú samy osebe len časťou toho, čo sa deje v prírode a samé osebe sú takpovediac bez významu. Z tohto pohľadu sa Kant javí ako zúfalý reakcionár. Trvá na tom, že vo svete sa nachádza zrozumiteľný poriadok, ale robí to tak, že svet rekonštruuje ako čiastočne konštituovaný mysľou. (...) (2) "Tvrdil som, že hľadanie spôsobu, ako zachovať Kantovo chápanie, vedie k poňatiu rozumu, ktoré je v istom zmysle naturalistické: sformovaný stav praktického rozumu je druhou prirodzenosťou človeka, nie niečím, čo by jeho prirodzenosti diktovalo zvonka. Táto koncepcia však nie je naturalistická v tom zmysle, že by sa usilovala založiť intelektuálne oprávnenia praktického rozumu na faktoch, aké objavujú prírodné vedy. Ak použijeme rétoriku etického realizmu, druhá prirodzenosť pôsobí vo svete, v ktorom nachádza viac než to, čo je prístupné pohľadu z odľudšteného postoja, ktorý prírodné vedy, oprávnene pre svoje účely, zaujímajú. A nie je nič proti tomu, aby sa aj táto bohatšia skutočnosť zahrnula do rubriky prírody. Prírodné vedy nemajú na tento pojem výhradné právo; a pridané bohatstvo sa dostáva do zorného poľa nie pôsobením nejakej tajomnej nad-prirodzenej sily, ale preto, že ľudské bytosti získavajú druhú prirodzenosť. Príroda v tomto bohatšom poňatí je do istej miery autonómna vo vzťahu k prírode v prírodovedeckom poňatí."
All of us care about having good physical health. We deal with illness, practice good habits, and watch our calories, right? When things go wrong, we can struggle with big questions about what we are doing and even God's place in this quest. Can God make you healthy? The insights of Process Christian Theology can help us deal with the health issues we face today. God's essential attribute is Love, the non-coercive activity that seeks the well-being of the world. The love of God brings freedom to us and all things to collaborate with God, or not. In our health, there are no divine interventions that alter the laws of nature. Our choices enable us to collaborate with God's good work for health. Segments include:A Theology of God's PowerThe Nature of LoveGod collaborates with thingsGod, Love, and your healthGod and our freedomWe should work with God for healthCITEDThomas Jay Oord, The Death of Omnipotence and the Birth of Amipotence.

Monica Morrissey lives in Northern Vermont with her husband and two cats. She loves hiking, swimming, and being with her grandkids. Monica was a public educator for over thirty years. Her experience teaching others helped her gain the knowledge she would need for the unexpected career change; becoming an author and Spiritual Healer. At the age of fifty, she published her inspiring Dimes from Heaven, How Coins and Coincidences Helped Me Discover My Life as an Empath book to help others understand our connection to loved ones who are in the spirit world and how our thoughts affect our health. Dimes from Heaven was a finalist for the International Indie Book Awards in the category of death and dying and was an Amazon #1 - Owner of Silver Spur... Top New Release in Supernaturalism. Her second book, More Dimes from Heaven shares her story to be an author- with so many synchronistic events along her journey. Her third book, Once Upon a Dime, Heaven is Talking to Us. Do You Know How to Listen? Explains how to get a sign from a loved one using thoughts and energy balancing.

WTF Just Happened?!: Afterlife Evidence, Paranormal + Spirituality without the Woo
Monica began to get amazing signs (all dimes) after her father passed. Monica L. Morrissey is author of Dimes From Heaven, More Dimes From Heaven and Once Upon a Dime. She is also owner of Intuitive Wellness, where it is all about "soul-care." She is a professor at Southern New Hampshire University where she teaches teachers who are working on their Master's degree in Curriculum and Assessment. She was an elementary school teacher for 24 years. She taught middle school math for three years and and then was aCurriculum Director for five years (so she is logical!). Monica has been an educator for over thirty years. Her experience teaching others helped her gain the knowledge she would need for the unexpected career change; becoming an author. At the age of fifty, she published her inspiring Dimes from Heaven, How Coins and Coincidences Helped Me Discover My Life as an Empath book to help others understand our connection to loved ones who are in the spirit world and how our thoughts affect our health. Following her intuition like never before, she began sharing stories about synchronistic events revealing that our souls never die. As an empath and natural-born teacher, her faith is guiding her to help people experience life and death in a whole new way. Monica was careful to leave spirituality out of the classroom. Since the tragic death of her nephew in 2008, she secretly began reading and studying about mediums, death, grief, and how our body (and life) are affected by our thoughts. She now has a better knowledge about the afterlife to share with others. Her retirement from the public school system allowed her to follow her true passion; helping people who want to learn more about everlasting life and who want to live healthier and happier lives. Monica is a Reiki Master and Instructor, Intuitive Card Reader, Past Life Regression practitioner, and loves to analyze dreams. At her business, Intuitive Wellness, Monica is dedicated to helping clients with soul-care. When she started writing her stories she knew they were powerful and they would and will continue to help readers experiencing loss. She wants everyone to be able to experience this feeling.Dimes from Heaven was a finalist for the International Indie Book Awards in the category of death and dying and was an Amazon #1 Top New Release in Supernaturalism.Monica knows how powerful these stories of coincidences are from another dimension. Dimes are her signature sign from heaven and people love listening to her stories. The synchronicities reveal a soul's life is eternal.

The term comes from a novel by the British philosopher Thomas Carlyle, who hoped that the human religious impulse would survive the science of his time. Nearly 200 years later, how is that going? A talk from Rev. Dr. David Breeden. The post Natural Supernaturalism appeared first on First Unitarian Society of Minneapolis.
Tito Ambyo - Supernaturalism online Ghosts, spirits, kuntilanak, tuyul, and pocong. For most Indonesians these are familiar and, in some ways, even comforting companions from the supernatural realm. Ghost stories are passed down through generations, regardless of class, religion or belief system, and horror has long been a staple of Indonesian literature, art, film and television cultures. Across history, Indonesian leaders have claimed a mystic mandate, alongside political power, to rule. Supernaturalism or "horror stuff" is something of a national trait. In recent years, young urban Indonesian YouTubers have engaged an eager and growing audience, telling old stories in new, innovative and fascinating ways online. The continuing popularity of horror stories and their reimagining through the use of digital technologies highlights some of the ambiguities in Indonesia's progressive and increasingly cosmopolitan nationalism. What is it about the supernatural that so captivates Indonesians? Why is YouTube a fertile platform for this thriving genre of entertainment? What can these videos and their creators tell us about how Indonesians see themselves, their society and the world at large? In the first episode of Talking Indonesia for 2022, Jemma Purdey talks to Tito Ambyo, a journalist and lecturer in journalism at RMIT in Melbourne, and a new host of Talking Indonesia this year. Tito is currently completing his PhD at RMIT's Digital Ethnographic Research Centre on digital horror and storytelling in Indonesia. In 2022, the Talking Indonesia podcast is co-hosted by Dr Jemma Purdey from Monash University, Dr Dave McRae from the University of Melbourne's Asia Institute, Dr Jacqui Baker from Murdoch University, and Tito Ambyo.

Naturalists, according to David Papinau, author of the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy entry on naturalism, urge “that reality is exhausted by nature, containing nothing ‘supernatural'.” Naturalism “has no very precise meaning in contemporary philosophy” beyond this, along with an emphasis on science as a means to understand the natural world. Naturalism is the view that there is only the natural world. I defend this simple conception of naturalism, ward off a few criticisms, and argue that there's a kind of parity between the terms “theism” and “naturalism.” In other words, if you don't have a problem with the term “theism,” you shouldn't have a problem with “naturalism.” Luke Roelofs - Combining Minds: How to Think about Composite Subjectivity Is God the Best Explanation of Things? A Dialogue - Joshua Rasmussen & Felipe Leon (this wasn't mentioned in the episode, but Leon does a wonderful job fleshing out “liberal naturalism” Graham Oppy - The Best Argument Against God Sean Carroll - Poetic Naturalism Galen Strawson - Real Naturalism William Lycan - Philosophy of Language: A Contemporary Introduction Naturalism - SEP / / / linktr.ee/emersongreen YouTube Transcript Rate the show on iTunes Support on Patreon here Listen to our sister show Counter Apologetics here Follow on Twitter @waldenpod and @OnPanpsychism / / / a few elaborations of naturalism... “By ‘naturalism' I mean the view that the world contains a single basic type of stuff, whose behavior is governed by a single set of simple, general laws, and that these laws are those revealed by science. The most common version of naturalism among contemporary philosophers is physicalism, the view that the world is entirely made up of matter, and matter is exhaustively described by physics. But some philosophers reject physicalism, even while accepting naturalism, holding that matter is not exhaustively described by physics—there are fundamental aspects of matter that physics is blind to. In particular (they tend to say), there are certain things each of us can know about matter, such as that one particular portion of matter (the one between our ears) sometimes feels and thinks and experiences, which go beyond both what physics itself says and what can be deduced from any physical description, no matter how detailed. Because facts about my consciousness are left out by any purely physical descriptions, these ‘naturalistic anti-physicalists' infer that consciousness must be itself a fundamental feature of reality, no more derivable from physical properties than mass is derivable from charge.” Luke Roelofs “Naturalism is a philosophy according to which there is only one world -- the natural world, which exhibits unbroken patterns (the laws of nature), and which we can learn about through hypothesis testing and observation. In particular, there is no supernatural world -- no gods, no spirits, no transcendent meanings. I like to talk about a particular approach to naturalism, which can be thought of as Poetic. By that I mean to emphasize that, while there is only one world, there are many ways of talking about the world. "Ways of talking" shouldn't be underestimated; they can otherwise be labeled "theories" or "models" or "vocabularies" or "stories," and if a particular way of talking turns out to be sufficiently accurate and useful, the elements in its corresponding vocabulary deserve to be called real.” Sean Carroll “Naturalism says that causal reality is natural reality: the domain of causes is nothing more nor less than the natural world. Atheism says that there are no gods; in consequence, atheism says that there is no God. Naturalism entails atheism: if causal reality is natural reality, then there is no (supernatural) cause of natural reality, and, in particular, there is no God. But atheism does not entail naturalism: to deny that there are gods is not to insist that causal reality is natural reality. . . . Supernaturalism says that causal reality outstrips natural reality: there are supernatural causes. . . . This ‘minimal' conception of naturalism relies on a prior understanding of the distinction between the natural and the supernatural (as did our ‘minimal' conception of theism). We shall proceed on the assumption that we do understand this distinction well enough. If we come to have doubts about whether we do understand this distinction well enough, then we can return to give it more careful consideration. ‘Minimal naturalism' admits of elaboration in many different – mutually inconsistent – ways. Any suitably elaborated naturalism will hold that some features of the natural world are primitive – not susceptible of further explanation – whereas other features of the natural world are fully explained in terms of those primitive features. Thus, for example, some naturalists suppose that all of the primitive features of the natural world are physical features – i.e. features that lie in the proper domain of the discipline of physics. Other naturalists suppose that there are features of the natural world . . . that cannot be fully explained in terms of the fundamental physical properties. The key point to note is that all naturalists suppose that there are no supernatural causal properties…” Graham Oppy
Max shares about the recent passing of his estranged father and about some very odd and possibly supernatural experiences surrounding it, as well as some expected political economy commentary (his father was homeless in a world where housing is a globally financialized hyper-commodity). Tying the personal to the political, Harriet and Max both remark on how the materialist roots and emphases within Marxism seem sometimes devoid of attention to the seemingly non-materialist phenomena such as supernaturalism, the occult, etc. Harriet shares about her experiences with people dying, being 79 years of age and having seeing so many people go.

In this episode we interview Roy Grinker, cultural anthropologist and author of Nobody's Normal: How Culture Created the Stigma of Mental Illness. His book is broken into three sections: capitalism, wars, and the mind and body. Grinker explains that the transition from feudalism to capitalism in Europe created the conditions that gave rise to doctors observing "unproductive deviants" within asylums for the first time in history, leading to categorization of different forms of mental suffering based on "clinical observation" and the cultural invention of psychiatry. World Wars I and II had some of the most profound impacts on the development and later global exportation of the DSM and the cultural and ideological assumptions contained within it and the treatment concepts it espouses. Are rates of "autism spectrum disorder" higher in South Korea? Can a supportive culture "treat" mental problems better than individualistic diagnostic/treatment modalities? What better explains hallucinations and reduces stigma for those who experience them: brain science or supernaturalism? And what's so important about the neurodiversity movement?

‘’Just in time to fill this void, two new systems of governance burst onto the world stage. These two systems – Socialism and Modern Nationalism (or just “Nationalism” from here on out) – are diametrically opposed and mutually exclusive and, because they are, they have spent the past hundred years vying – and often warring – for acceptance around the globe. With the defeat of the German Socialists in World War II and the later collapse of the Soviet Socialist empire, it was generally recognized that this battle had been won and that Socialism was, as Ronald Reagan said it should be, on the “ash heap of history.” Famed political philosopher Francis Fukuyama called it “the end of history,” in that man’s long struggle to find the best possible system of governance had finally WWW. THE RAGGED EDGE RADIO. COM LIVE NOTES By Russ Dizdar 3 ended with the unparalleled peace, prosperity, good health, innovation, and promise of America’s Nationalist system winning out over the horrors and failures of the socialist world. Socialism is back, however, and it is once again at war against Nationalism in general and America in particular. I am of the belief that this war is going to get bloodier. If there is one thing the world should have learned at the most horrific of costs, it is that there is no appeasing Socialism. Socialism doesn’t stop its invasions, oppressions, cruelties, and atrocities until it is forced to. There is no compromising with socialists. There can be no deals made with socialists and, if and when a deal is cut, socialists never intend to keep their side of the bargain.’’ Sayet, Evan. THE WOKE SUPREMACY: An Anti-Socialist Manifesto .

THE THRONE OF VICTORY; SATAN UNDER THE FEET OF THE BELIEVER. we have now traced the story of the translation of a soul out of the “power of darkness” into the Kingdom of the Son, through the gate of death into resurrection life in union with the Risen Lord. We heard the call to arms, and the putting on of the heavenly armor to meet the new tactics of the foe, when the believer emerges into the spiritual sphere; and we have considered some of the wiles of the devil suited to the Spirit-filled believer. In closing we must see the way of victory and the place of authority over all the power of the enemy, which makes the redeemed one terrible as an army with banners to the foe. When the believer emerges into the Spirit-sphere on the resurrection side of the cross, he enters into conflict with the aerial hosts of darkness who swarm in the region immediately surrounding our planet. Here he needs the whole armor of God to encase and protect him. Also we are taught that he has a place above them where he sits with Christ in His place of victory “far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named” (Eph. 1:21–22, KJV), where Satan and all his hosts are under his feet. United to the Conqueror of Calvary, he sits and reigns with Christ in spirit, as he will do visibly to the world in the day when Christ shall appear in glory. Christ’s victorious ones shall reign with Him a thousand years. The call from heaven by the victorious Lord to His redeemed LIVE NOTES FOR THE RAGGED EDGE RADIO .COM WORLDWIDE BROADCAST by Russ Dizdar © 9 ones is a call to overcome as He overcame. And it is a promise that they who thus overcome shall sit with Him in His throne, even as He sat down a Victor over sin and death and hell, on His Father’s Throne. Penn-Lewis, Jessie.

18 The wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth through unrighteousness. 19 For what may be known about God is clear to them since God has shown it to them. 20 The invisible things about Him—His eternal power and deity—have been clearly seen since the creation of the world and are understood by the things that are made, so that they are without excuse. 21 Because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him or give thanks to Him as God, but became futile in their imaginations, and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22 Claiming to be wise, they became fools. 23 They changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like corruptible man, birds, four-footed beasts, and creeping things. 24 Therefore God gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their hearts, to dishonor their own bodies among themselves. 25 They turned the truth of God into a lie and worshipped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen. 26 For this reason God gave them up to dishonorable passions. Their women exchanged the natural function for what is against nature. 27 Likewise the men, leaving the natural function of the woman, burned in their lust toward one another, men with men doing that which is shameful, and receiving in themselves the due penalty of their error. 28 And since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not proper. 29 They were filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit. They are gossips, 30 slanderers, God-haters, insolent, proud, boastful, inventors of evil things, and disobedient toward parents, 31 without understanding, covenant breakers, without natural affection, calloused, and unmerciful, 32 who know the righteous requirement of God, that those who commit such things are worthy of death. They not only do them, but also give hearty approval to those who practice them.

In communist Russia, the Bolsheviks in particular picked up the spear. “A fight to the death must be declared upon religion,” asserted Nikolai Bukharin, founding editor of Pravda and one of Lenin’s and Stalin’s leading lieutenants, adding counsel to “take on religion at the tip of the bayonet.”255 Bukharin spoke for the Bolsheviks: “Religion and communism are incompatible, both theoretically and practically. … Communism is incompatible with religious faith.” He also spoke for Marx: “‘Religion is the opium of the people,’ said Karl Marx. It is the task of the Communist Party to make this truth comprehensible to the widest possible circles of the laboring masses.”256 The Bolsheviks would do just that. Communists worldwide would do just that. Such was the atheist legacy bequeathed by Marx. One of the most brutally restricted rights by communist governments was, and remains, the freedom to worship, which communists always and everywhere have attacked with a wild fervor and devotion. In a sense, it LIVE NOTES FOR THE RAGGED EDGE RADIO .

God was a competitor to communist control of the body, mind, and spirit of man that Marx and Lenin wanted to redefine in their own image.

Do they not come from your lusts that war in your body? 2 You lust and do not have, so you kill. You desire to have and cannot obtain. You fight and war. Yet you do not have, because you do not ask. 3 You ask, and do not receive, because you ask amiss, that you may spend it on your passions. 4 You adulterers and adulteresses, do you not know that the friendship with the world is enmity with God?

When the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently against that house, but could not shake it, for it was founded on rock. 49 But he who hears and does not obey is like a man who built a house on the ground without a foundation, against which the stream beat vehemently. Immediately it fell, and the ruin of that house was great.” Luke 6

THE NON-WITTING • 17 And I saw an angel standing in the sun, and he cried with a loud voice to all the birds flying in the midst of heaven, “Come and gather for the supper of the great God, 18 to eat the flesh of kings, the flesh of commanders, the flesh of strong men, the flesh of horses and their riders, and the flesh of all men, both free and slave, both small and great!” 19 Then I saw the beast and the kings of the earth with their armies gathered to wage war against Him who sat on the horse and against His army. 20 But the beast was captured and with him the false prophet who worked signs in his presence, by which he deceived those who received the mark of the beast and those who worshipped his image. These two were thrown alive into the lake of fire that burns with brimstone. 21 The remnant were slain with the sword which proceeded out of the mouth of Him who sat on the horse. And all the birds gorged themselves with their flesh.
