For something to have shape it must have dimensions. As such, even a flat surface has shape - by virtue of it having at least one dimension. There is no contradiction nor shared consensus on whether the universe is infinite or not. We don't know if there is an issue with infinity. I would wager there isn't as it isn't contradictory to imagine something being infinite. It is perfectly logical to imagine a flat plain going on forever.

You have a lot of imaginary freinds, don't you?

--> @Sidewalker

That’s the problem with the concept of infinity, I don’t think it can be said to be a valid mathematical concept, at least in the sense that when you apply mathematics to it, you get logically incoherent results. One of many examples is algebraic, infinity + infinity = infinity, subtract infinity from both sides of the equation and you get infinity = zero, which is nonsensical.  It’s a useful concept for referring to a cyclical function, but it really can’t be considered a number or ve ea valid mathematical object.

Exactly. You didn’t determine God was good, you just decided it by choosing to define goodness as that which is in accordance to him.

Just as I could choose to define goodness differently.

This is what we call subjective.

@Sidewalker

well, i think its best to remember that nothing outside of the universe exists. The universe is everything so nothing exists outside of itself. The expansion of the universe can simply be viewed as the stretching of space. since space is everything, it doesn't stretch into anything but itself, this highlights two propositions (1) the universe is infinite or (2) laps back on itself. In case 1, it could be described as Somewhat like if we bounce on a trampoline it spreads out and closes back in depending on the force put  upon the trampoline, but the amount of material on the trampoline never increases or decreases. All that increases and decreases is how stretched out whatever is already there is. In this same sense the universe is never stretching or going into anything new, but stretching what is already there, like the trampoline. It may be that space simply is literally bending into itself.

If the universe is indeed infinite, then the simple answer is that the universe doesn't have anything to expand into. A good analogy can be made with math. Imagine you have a list of numbers, 1,2,3,etc all the way up to infinity. Then you multiply every number in this list by 2, so that you now have 2,4,6 etc all the way up to infinity. The distance between the numbers in your list has "stretched" (it is now 2 instead of 1), but can you really say that the total extent of all your numbers has expanded? probably not, because in the end it all leads to infinity again anyways.  So there is still stretching but you still end up with the same total.

I described the priest being a pedophile. I didn't describe what he did. At most, you can infer that much. Or you can infer something else.

But no mention about when you stopped forcing kids to take it in the booty by you a priest.

I am not a clergyman for any religion and I have never molested anyone. It was dark humor, and I avoided the use of graphic imagery in making the joke.

Biden is happy killing Ukrainians this winter if he can make money off of  it. The war will go on thanks to Biden.

Biden is committed to fighting Russia to the last Ukrainian.

I’m distinguishing between creating future lives and making future people (who, according to B-theories of time, exist right now) happy. I place more of a weight on the former, and the latter. 

I think there’s many good arguments for why we should value future people equally, including:

• Thought experiments. My favorite one, adapted from Derek Parfit, is: if I drop a glass bottle in a woods, that would be irresponsible regardless of whether a child that injures themselves on it gets the injury  tomorrow, 100 years, or 500 years from now. Similarly, having a positive rate of pure time preference would mean -- at some point in the future -- the survival of humanity ends up less important than, say, me enjoying a pizza right now. 
  
• According to B theories of time, people in the future do exist right now, because time is just an extension of space -- which is likely true if you take special relativity seriously. In that sense, treating future generations worse is morally equivalent to treating people who’re far away from you worse, and I don’t find that a just conclusion. 
  
• It seems like it’s discrimination against an immutable characteristic. I don’t think you should be disadvantaged just because of when you were born, a characteristic you don’t choose, in decisions made by people in the past.

I have read thousands of threads and what I have noticed is that in the older ones, most constructive posts don't get a single like. Whereas now if you say anything, you are being liked on that forum post. That is a good thing, it shows you that your posts are being read and respected by another fellow user on the site, as well as that it...boosts your like counter and fuels your arrogance...heheh...(although that is not the main point)

But the main thing is that in crucial threads here, most posts get not only a like but two or three, with the exceptionally useful tips getting five or more, whereas they are on par with the quality of posts of generally what you would expect a single like two or three years ago. Liking posts not only has been brought up, but it is a common behavior here. I find myself liking other posts much more often than before, before a certain point I didn't even realize there is a like button, and just read on without showing a feedback of respect even if I do. Discussions are really getting more civil, it seems, as you are firm to be respected no matter which standpoint you are on(although, a Nazi deserves no like on his posts exhibiting this view, obviously). Bottom line, I am pleased with it. Thank you.

I think the distinction you are looking for here is a sense of closure, a sense of what is in the past. Hitler was around 20 years dead, he had died knowing he was defeated, and most of his cronies were held to account, when these shows were made, so it was not the urgent, visceral hatred one might have for the living, especially if that living person appears to be “getting away with it.”

The basis of adult-child consensual relationship is in desires that adult and child have.

Child has many desires. 

Child can experience pleasure from sexual activities.

Child can enjoy adults company.

Desires that are realized in a consensual relationship with an adult are the reason child wants such relationship.

Pedophilia is, by definition, just a sexual attraction. Its not an action. But at some individuals, it may lead to action.

I just responded to the analogy. I dont consider the analogy appropriate for child-adult relationship.

In case of a consensual relationship between an adult and a child, child obviously has desires realized in such relationship.

For example: if child wants pleasure and fun, the relationship allows it. 

Because of that, child consents to a relationship.
