    Religious Thinking vs Scientific Thinking

    I think people can think on both levels. But it would be a mistake on their part to think science and religion are compatible.

    The leap from origin to development is pretty easy to see.

    What is the best argument for an atheist?

    Then either the person who posted that you posted "God is not science." mis remembered or is lying or YOU are lying. And actually, in the thread on strong/weak atheism. I detailed exactly why I am a strong atheist and how this relates to the failures of supernaturalists to provide either an...

    What is the best argument for an atheist?

    On some level it's really as basic as theism/atheism are separate sides of the same ontology. But really if that's all he's trying to say...sure ok. But that's rather self evidence if you know anything about prefixes.

    What is the best argument for an atheist?

    Actually it's pointing out that since you made a statement about how "God is not science." Then you have a working definition of what a "God" is. Which means either A. You can provide it. or B. You're misleading people and don't actually have one and "God" in your statement is gibberish and no...

    What is the best argument for an atheist?

    Blaggerslatghpan isn't a word. It has no definition or meaning. Hence the point. And to the latter part of your post.... All you're doing so far is dodging people's questions. Repeatedly.

    Homosexuality & Religion

    Attributing the bible to supernatural origins in no one absolves people of the negative and tragic consequences of promoting discrimination against homosexuality that has resulted.

    Homosexuality & Religion

    "All religions place supernatural consequences to human action and ritualism is heavily displayed in religion."=/=Christian are bible thumpers. You have an axe to grind and I'm not going to waste a thread because you want to whine. If you can't move back to the topic you're just going to have to...

    Homosexuality & Religion

    Then you lack an understanding what God(UU is derived from Christian sources), "spirit" and "spiritual" represent as concepts.

    Homosexuality & Religion

    Wrong. Not only does the religion have members with affiliation with other faiths(with claims of a supernatural universe) but also includes concepts such as... Direct experience of that transcending mystery and wonder, affirmed in all cultures, which moves us to a renewal of the spirit and...

    Homosexuality & Religion

    All religions posit a supernatural universe. There is common ground to be had. Anything else you'd like to THINK my post implied is your problem. And there was a reason I posted that I'd wait for a religion that doesn't place humanity and it's actions as one with cosmic importance. Because that...

    Homosexuality & Religion

    Right...because a post that says religion shows a pattern of placing humanity at the center of the universe and ritualism is an outgrowth of this is applicable to only Christianity. Since after all it's rather hard to be a bible thumper if you're a Hindu or Buddhist. Most human beings period are...

    California proposition to legalize pot. Yes or No

    I don't smoke and I think the law is flawed in some aspects but I am for legalization, regulation and taxation of it. If federal and state governments had any sense they'd work vigorously to do so in a way to take money away from the drug czars and hit them where it hurts even as they try(and...

    Homosexuality & Religion

    Given the religious imperative to insert(heh) cosmic, supernatural importance into every act a human can commit. It's no surprise. Ritualism's heavy hand in religion speaks to that. Me, I'm waiting for the religion that comes along and says humans suck and are unimportant.
