Default Do Ideas matter?

A recent series of post implied that ideas are meaningless and do not matter. It is only actions that matter. Personally, I don't understand how actions occur independent of the ideas behind them.

So, are ideas significant?

I remember the first time i had the idea to dress in drag and let my cat lick my bakllballs I acted on it right away.

Just like I am sure you dropped out of high school in 9th grade, a matter of days after you first got the idea

Is there any reason specifically you are such a troll?


Are you so insecure you have to pretend you are another poster?

What other poster?

I am the original one and only Dom1/Monkeyinthemiddle/philosowarrior/other assorted names that people have been laughing at and publicly humiliating all along.

I am the one and only cross dressing dumbass who has posted some of the most retarded bullshit ever seen in print, creates threads juist for atteention, and who responds to himself with fake screen names

Yes, of course ideas are significant, but it is the actions that carry moral weight.....ideas by themselves are not good or bad, it is how they are acted on.....

ideas by themselves are not good or bad, :-I

Humanism Exposed - Part I

Today, taken as "Secular" Humanist philosophy, the phrases "everything is relative" [1] and "there are no absolutes" are two that are usually foremost. The statement "there are no absolutes" immediately denies the Creator AS Absolute. Man is therefore left with an impersonal "relativistic" universe that is neutral and silent concerning Right and wrong OR Good and evil. A relativistic universe is silent on these issues. At this point, man places himself in charge.

BUT I'M KICKING YOU OUT OF CHARGE.........I have much more Supervisor Experience than you do.

Ideas are harmless by themselves or when dormant with their creator. Tragedy occurs when harmful ideas are presented to the less scrupulous.

Everyone who believes in a creator believes it to be absolute...

I never said I was in charge.......'cuz I'm not. Nobody is. Not even you Duck...

sorry 'bout that!
