I wrapped my Christmas presents early this year, but I used the wrong paper. See, the paper I used said 'Happy Birthday' on it. I didn't want to waste it so I just wrote 'Jesus' on it.

:roflmao:

The art of love... is largely the art of persistence.

"In an often-quoted paragraph, Hume argues that he can defeat all 'vulgar' systems of morality by noting that the person begins with all sorts of propositions that describe "is" relationships (e.g., God created man"), and then suddenly and inexplicably shifts to "ought" relationships (e.g., man ought to obey God), without explaining how the latter can be derived from the former. Some sort of explanation is needed, and until one is provided, we can dismiss these 'vulgar' attempts to derive 'ought' from 'is' as illegitimate. They are grounded on faulty logic."

Alonzo Fyfe referring to Hume on the "Is/Ought" debate
