    Animism

    Yeah but the smaller the rock, the more likely it is to get stepped on or thrown, so the more bitter the soul, right? :p Anyway.. traditionally we think of the soul (nepesh – Hebrew; psyche – Greek; anima - Latin) as the most basic principle to sentience, life and movement; the difference...

    Mind if i join you?

    Keep on hoping there, Capthowdy. The last thing you need is me as a nemesis. ;)

    Do we have free will?

    Okay. Just to clarify; Is it possible for any two people to have the exact same timing, external influences, past experiences, psychology, physiology, genetics... in which to come to the same conclusion?

    Do we have free will?

    Tawn, would you say that we are unable to separate ourselves from our experiences when making a decision? would you say that any two people, when given the exact same information, would come to the same conclusion?

    A thought I had

    oooh, clever... :) It's kind of a hard topic to wrap up in a phrase. Well put though. Yet i think i'd be more eager to agree with the statement if you replaced the word "Religion" with the word "philosophy". Asking the right questions is every bit the mark of a good scientist that finding...

    Godless Religions?

    Next time, don't wear cleats. :p

    Godless Religions?

    If by 'godless' you'd be referring to an individuals literal belief in the existence of god, then i'd have to say that it's possible for every popular religion to be godless. i know many Christians and Buddhists who live their lives for the message, virtue, grace and love they reflect, but at...

    The Evils of the Religious Mob

    Amen. lol The attitude often associated with Christians and their influences in government suggests that by nature of being Christian, one can not think for themselves or comprehend the facts in order to choose their position accordingly. It's this i'm opposed to, the 'us vs. them' approach...

    relatively new

    Welcome! I saw 3D arts in your profile. If you get a chance, i'd be interested in hearing about what software you use and artists you like. :)

    Why not think for a change, instead of just reacting?

    i... i was born an animal? I guess that would explain the fur and dillusions of chasing easterbunnies. I sort of like being a child in a big body though, they give you crayons whenever you eat out. welcome.

    The Evils of the Religious Mob

    Christianity was formed on the premise of a simple man, who by touching lepers and eating with gentiles went against the church authority and their false perceptions. He proved that the best of mankind and the highest of laws -love and grace- are bound to instigate opposition, will often...

    Human supremacy

    Hmm... i guess if i were to judge humans, critique mankind by how effectively it uses and utilizes what evolution provides it, then i would have to answer 'No' we are not above all other forms of life in value or importance. Why? Because while animals may kill without purpose, exhaust their...

    Atheism: Do Atheists actually disagree about anything?

    Here’s an idea, please correct me where i'm wrong. You most likely won't find a set of ‘atheistic’ arguments not because we don't disagree, but because we have a tendency to see such topics as philosophical, ethical and moral issues rather than 'atheistic' ones. To these issues, we each...

    The Rapture, athiests and agnostics

    I think i've said this before and others seem to be hinting at the same thing, but if the rapture were to happen and i was left behind with all the 'unchosen' i would honestly be relieved. In a world of mixed ideals and confusing doctrines, i would rather be left behind with all the honestly...

    What will everyone do when they get to heaven?

    hmm.. not to sound like a pessimist here but i'd probably grab a bite to eat then plan my daring escape. For some reason, the idea of chilling out in summerland with the creator while the rest of humanity suffers in a desperate effort to get by (or worse, burns in hell) doesn't sit too well with...

    Mind if i join you?

    Well.. i like to shoot things, Medieval style. I have a knack for geting deeply involved with plots concerning men in spandex. I don't consider anything made from blending the inedible portions of thousands of ill-treated livestock (aka 'smeat-bugers') food. If i'm going to be 'surfing' the net...

    Mind if i join you?

    Hi everyone :) I'm just here following michel's advice and introducing myself. I'm not sure there's much i can say that isn't either in my posts or my profile, except maybe that i typically read a lot more than i post. But looking around at all your excellent threads and interesting topics i...

    Pagans and Environmentalism

    Mind if the newbie has a try at it? :) I'm under the impression that on a very general scale, (obviously every man is his own) pagans tend to be far more apt to holding a positive environmental attitude than Christians. Here's why.. A pantheistic world view has a tendency...

    Intelligent Designer

    ... there are a thousand topics here and i'm not sure which to approach first. It is the nature of evolution for things to make small changes over a long period of time. Nature is not moral or immoral but functions in a steady flow in an efficient yet adaptative way according to specific...
