      Anyone see the resemblance between Spinoza and Jerry Seinfeld? 😄

        Now that you mention it! I wonder what Jerry's take is on things 😄

          Ah Bruce, chuck away that 10 foot pole. The only good 'debates' are those that involve sex, politics and regilion 😆

            As the saying goes:" Regilion is the opinium of the matchless..." [- or something like that] 😄

              Yes I know Mike but I don't have the energy for this one...maybe after a nap.

              Well Bruce! Are you over the nap? Let's hear what you have to say. We won't burn you like the unfortunate guy that Alan mentioned.

                speaking of religion, one the most interesting books i read recently is God Is Not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything, by christopher hitchens. he mentions spinoza a lot in that book. from the same author, there is The Portable Atheist: Essential Readings for the Nonbeliever, a collection of texts on religion by authors from several times and places, including spinoza.

                  Thanks for the mentions Edson. This is a subject that is fascinating me over the past couple of years. Don't know why, but maybe its the fact that the big 60 is looming! When we are young, death is the last thing on our minds but as one gets older it tends to focus us on the matter. Geeeees, sorry if I'm sounding morbid, its not intended.

                    i agree: the subject is fascinating. one inherits religion from one's parents and it seems to be a natural thing just to follow what they did.

                    but is that what we really believe in and wish to do? reading other people's opinions makes one think and helps us in making up one's mind about this and other subjects.

                      I think Spinoza would have loved Object Oriented programming - we are all sub-classed from God.

                        That was the idea of my namesake, St Anselm of Canterbury
