at the age of 19 I had developed a sort of utilitarian ethics before reading about it, because I encountered many problems with the divine command theory beggining with the Euthiphro dilemma.
Great video. Wow, first philosopher in the series to have support in taking up Philosophy, that too, a father who advocated it. Don't know much about William James. Looking forward to it. ^_^
Not merely advocated it, but really insisted upon it. It became easier to be a philosopher as more people actually were able to make a living in the field and pass that on to their descendants.
I don't know, have you met children? They are horrible to each other. Mill does not describe his childhood as bleak or lonely, why do you think it would be? Just because you wouldn't like it, does not mean no one would.
Jesus Christ saves from sin. Romans 3: 23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Hebrews 9: 27 And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment: Isaiah 64: 6 But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away. Revelation 21: 8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death. Romans 5: 8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. John 3: 16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 14: 6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. Romans 10: 9-10. That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. Jesus said John 5: 24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life. 1John 5: 10-13 He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son. And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life. These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God. Ephesians 2: 8-9 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast. Romans 8: 1 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. 1 Corinthians 15: 3-4 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: 2 Corinthians 5: 21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him. ............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
Quoting the bible to justify the bible is an instance of the "Begging the Question" fallacy. It is invalid and it is not a good way to convince anyone.

Carneades.org Oh, yeah, you're right. Sounds like the dream. :D
Imagine he wasn't allowed friends of his own age when he was child. In other words, he had a bleak lonely childhood.
I don't know, have you met children? They are horrible to each other. Mill does not describe his childhood as bleak or lonely, why do you think it would be? Just because you wouldn't like it, does not mean no one would.
