    Slavery in the Bible

    Fair point, Tarheeler. But perhaps the same should apply to viewing ancient morality.

    Slavery in the Bible

    Exodus 21:20-21 'Anyone who beats their male or female slave with a rod must be punished if the slave dies as a result, but they are not to be punished if the slave recovers after a day or two, since the slave is their property.' (TNIV). So it's okay to beat your slave as long as they don't...

    Do you believe in a global flood?

    Let's see it, please. I'm assuming we are talking about evidence as presented in established, reputable and peer-reviewed journals, not Answers In Genesis.

    International atheists declare church/state principles

    Phasmid. Yes, I see your point here. As 9-10ths Penguin said, though, no secular organisations seem to be putting forward such a declaration, so it's good to see AAI doing it.

    What book(s) are you reading now?

    'Wild Justice' by Marc Bekoff. Discusses morality in non-human animals. Raises some interesting questions for those who believe morality is unique to humans and is 'god-given'.

    "Sexed-Up Atheism"

    When Richard Dawkins used the term 'sexed up atheism' I think it was a nod to those atheists that feel a reverence towards the natural world (himself included). Dawkins agrees that, as humans, we have an innate need to acknowledge the wonder of the universe (but not necessarily attributing a...

    International atheists declare church/state principles

    When the Unicornists start imposing their restrictions on the rest of society, and when they start pushing for the introduction of Unicornism into science classes, then perhaps an A-unicornist Federation will be justified. Given that we have considerable theistic input into the workings of...

    Ireland bans stag hunting

    I agree. I live next to an Estate that attracts tourist deer hunters. Often their shots are not accurate and the injured deer has to be tracked and shot by the ghillie (professional stalker), by which time the animal has gone through considerable suffering. It is usually the 12- or 14-pointer...

    Challenge for RF members for 24 hours or there abouts...

    It's impossible not to judge others - from a positive or negative standpoint. The posts so far seem to mainly focus on judging others negatively, but we also judge others positively. We can't escape how we react to people. Sorry, Mike, but it seems an impossible task. Even as you read this, you...

    How Can Free Will Possibly Have Evolved?

    Does anyone think free will exists in other animal species? If so, could it be a product of evolution? If it doesn't exist beyond humans, are we assuming that non-human animals are automatons? I don't have an answer myself, just throwing out questions. I'm not sure I even know what free will...

    Having those passed on in your thoughts

    The emotional bond you have with someone takes much longer to disintegrate than the physical one, and often the emotional bond remains intact years after the death of the loved one. Why does this happen? Well, from my own experience, I find myself thinking about my mum (who died 27 years ago)...

    How Can Free Will Possibly Have Evolved?

    If free will exists and has its roots in biology, it would be fair to assume that it also exists in other primate species.
