My last post (at 3:49 pm my time) was in error, my apologies -- but I have a question for all you computer nerds, today I've gotten at least 50 return to sender messages that, of course, I never sent -- what does that mean? That my computer itself is being used to send out mail or that some sender is using my ISP number (or whatever number identifies my email address)? Any idea what I can do to stop this? Urgent. Stop what you're doing. Answer me.

Quoting Ursula Stange <Ursula@xxxxxxxxxx>:

snip
Ursula, writing about the immorality of God for a lecture at 8:30
tomorrow morning.

Such a time for such a lecture ought to be declared morally impermissible.
(Something like scheduling a grade 10 math class for that same time.)

But your topic reminds me of the time RP dressed me down for asking something like "How does one spell 'P'?", where 'P' was misspelled. Of course there can be no possible answer to that question since there is no such word as 'P.' RP defended his view with extended quotations from Plato, all referring to the impossibility of searching for the nonexistent, so who am I to disagree with
Plato.

I am reminded of this because I believe that "morality"/"immorality" cannot apply to an omniscient, omnipotent being. So whatever you were doing at the time, you could not possibly have been writing about the immorality of God.

Makes one wonder about the epistemic authority of our own intentions and
self-knowledge.


Fallibly hypothesizing an intention of clarification,

Or maybe it's my puny understanding....
