    "44 years a Republican, 1 year an Independent, today I'm joining the Democratic Party"

    The American political process is way to screwed up. It promotes greed and corruption. I think we should: 1. Term limits of 12 yrs on President (3 4yr terms), senate ( 2 6yr terms), and house (6 2 yr terms). 2. Capping campaign donations and political spending. 3. Ban political commercials...

    Liberal Christians I need some things cleared up

    I think people should judge others based on the physical harm they cause others and dishonest and unworthy behavior. What kind of world would we live in if America had never judged bin Laden and Hitler found them guilty and too much of a danger to be left alive? Why should we wait for god to...

    Death and Evolution

    Why is that more logical, rational, and believable, than just saying all life forms evolve to live in balance with the life around them. We eat plants and animals to live and one day we will die so that plants may feast upon our bodies and continue the circle of life? You operate under the...

    Death and Evolution

    I find it funny that the people arguing that death is so essential to life it must be programmed by a creator are the same ones who believe the same creator will give them eternal life. I think if he was gonna do that he wouldve done it the first time. Since theists see purpose in everything...

    Death and Evolution

    The chimps that humans descended from at some point had to move closer to water and relied upon the ability to get food out water heavily. Hence the reason humans are smarter, have less hair, and webbing between fingers and toes. Also 80% of humans live in coastal areas or around large bodies of...

    religious journey

    How can one have these questions satisfactorily explained based on the unverifiable experiences of other humans who lived 2000 years ago and wrote about the experience years after it happened?

    "Theism" isnt a personal description of belief. Atheists have to define what atheism means

    Why do I have to believe in the existence of unicorns to ask if you believe in the existence of unicorns?

    "Theism" isnt a personal description of belief. Atheists have to define what atheism means

    I think theists don't realize they are atheist as well. If I ask a Christian if they believe in zues they would say no, so they are atheist in there belief of zues. The only difference between people who call themselves atheist and the majority of people who call themselves theists is atheists...

    religious journey

    A religious journey is like walking in a circle. The walk never ends but you also never learn about anything new you only gain greater clarity of what is in the circle. I recommend the journey of a scientist always moving forward never knowing where you might end up.

    Love of Truth and the criterion of scientific character

    This is why so many people are afraid of religion. Anything that forces you to abandon doubt to be member is promoting the removal of the most important survival instinct we as humans have been able to develop. Those who never doubt what they are told and go with faith give rise to groups like...

    theists attack atheism because they are insecure

    If there is an afterlife why would there be chaos in heaven without god. I assumed theists always believed that the soul was eternal and was without human needs? Why would chaos be the most rational thing for eternal beings? What sort of chaos can souls create? If not all people are allowed...

    If Evolution is Not True...

    As an atheist I am open to the slim possibility that life was created and not evolved but why does the creator have to be a god with supernatural powers. the link below is to a video about ancestral simulations. This to me seems like a plausible theory as to how any intelligent life could become...

    Is Atheism a type of Theism

    The word atheist comes from the Greek root atheos meaning "without gods" dating back to 5th century bce. It is not modern day people just slapping an "a" in front of the word theist, but rather a word people have used since 500 yrs before the birth of Jesus to describe themselves as people who...

    Why Are Some Inclined Towards Religion, But Others Not?

    I think the societal environment plays a great deal into ones belief or disbelief. Imagine an Amish person who didn't want to believe in God but also didn't want to be forced to leave their family. Lying about belief would be the only way to maintain life as usual. The same is true of rural...

    theists attack atheism because they are insecure

    The purpose of man is the same purpose for all life TO LIVE. The manner in which you live your life is a combination of choice and circumstance. Why does life wanting to continue living and wanting to fill that life with more moments happy than sad have to be originated with god? Why do you...

    Belief and afterlife

    Why is belief in an afterlife necessary to the way one lives there life? If its not necessary then why believe based on zero evidence that there is an afterlife at all?

    Sinning?

    Pagan is just a word meaning, religions of than my own. Christianity is just a combination of several religions in Every way, not just culturally. The contents of the holy bible when looked at side by side prior religions match up exactly. One of the biggest hypocrisies that Christianity is...

    Will the Religions Ever be Completely Driven out by the Sciences?

    There is no scientific world in which it makes sense for 1% of a countries population to control 70% of the countries money. This is only allowed in a religious world where the poor inherent the earth.
