> [@pchaos](#): > > The NT is my coherent philosophy. I’m just waiting to see if atheists can come up with something, so far very little. Socrates is well-known for developing the Socratic Method, perhaps atheists can use his teachings as the basis for a world view. Once again, you are giving EXAMPLES of a philosophy, and not defining it. What is a coherent philosophy, counselor? Answer the question! Also - again - if we follow the teachings of Socrates, are we not just “borrowing from other world views and philosophies instead of coming up with our own”? Why was this supposed to be a bad thing in your view again? > [@](#): > > Sometimes I wish that I had never practiced law and in a couple more years I may be in a different business. You a clearly a terrible lawyer and you should feel bad. ---

Honestly, I wish I could be a moderator. But they don’t let you apply until you’re 21. Guess I’m out of luck for 6 more years. But it makes sense. Moderators need to be mature. ---
