How old were you when you learned of evolution?
Probably about 7 or 8.
Did you learn evolution in school or university?
In school and university.
If yes, was it in biology? If not in biology, in which subject did learn about evolution?
We learned about evolution in General Science, Biology and...
I admit I am an infrequent poster here. Partly that is because I work and travel a lot. I found it frustrating that if you are off line for just a few hours threads you are interested in might grow and then there is simply no time to catch up and continue a meaningful conversation. Maybe it's...
In the west we need to guard against the feminist agenda being taken over by right wing and reactionary intellectuals many of whom still seem to be living in the 1950s and in the east basic rights such as education for girls must be protected and championed. The priority should be to protect...
I don't think the fact that we may have a psychological or sociological need for God or religion negates the importance of such things; indeed it may underline their importance in our development. After all we have inbuilt mental cravings for things like food, water and sex. Without these things...
After the headlines have died down this brave young woman who championed the right of young girls to get an education, who valued intellectual pursuits and who had personal dreams and ambitions; will probably be re-learning to walk and talk and struggling to remember and understand basic things...
I think all people on this forum would have a similar idea of what a leaf is. However I think a lot of the posters here will have quite different ideas about the concept of God.
Therefore I am beginning to think the concept has no universal meaning or use.
Other institutions such as the UN have been awarded the Nobel Peace prize before. The European Union has been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for "six decades of work in advancing peace in Europe."
The committee said the EU had helped to transform Europe "from a continent of war to a continent of...
You will soon discover both here and on other sites that Satanism comes in many shapes and forms. It will be up to you to decide which form (if any) is right for you.
From the way you describe your experience it seems as if you are being drawn to Theistic Satanism, but even within this branch...
I wish her and the other girl shot alongside her a full and speedy recovery. She is a true heroine.
And I call curses on the people who committed this sick and cowardly act, and those who continue to justify it.
Well I may be new here but I am beginning to see why some people get very frustrated with you. The closest you came to actually answering one of my criticisms of your plan was to suggest it would need another thread because it is too complicated to explain.
You then attack me and others by...
I will wait for Jay to get back to you if he wants but there were a few things here I wanted to comment on
As somebody who is relatively new here I would be interested to know how you do define your stance if not by Judaism? And if not Judaism then why do you set such store in elements of...
The situation in Israel/Palestine is immensely complicated, but I venture I'm as up to speed as you... At least...
My views are different and perhaps a little more comprehensive is all.
Oh and I have read your OP and at least the last few pages of this thread.
You've mentioned this to the...
Meaning if I don't agree I must be uneducated?
Excuse me while I cry into my wine glass.
Yes there are Palestinians who want the worst for Israel. But despite the hardships they have often had to put up with there are many who just want to raise their kids and live in peace like anyone else...
There would also be more peace if there were less crazy bigots.
Since nobody in this thread has seriously suggested kicking the Jews out of Israel (except you) that argument is a bit redundant.
But using your logic, if peace is really what you want, wouldn't your plan make more sense if we...
Sorry but you don't seem to get the point I am making. Sure those who have internet can in theory get news from where-ever they want; but how many actually do?
How many Americans regularly look at Arab or Chinese news channels which are also available in English? Isn't it more likely they stick...
