    What's all this about hearts?

    It's just a metaphor. They don't actually believe your hearts think and nor do I when I say "he has no heart" or "you need to get in touch with your heart" etc. :facepalm:

    Questions Young People Ask - Self Help Guide Online

    Quite a funny site. A weird mix of Biblical and practical advice. I especially like the article on sleep, titled "How Can I Get More Sleep?", including the text: "Do you need to get more sleep? Here’s what some of your peers have done. Avoid late nights. “I’ve been making an...

    Thread of Evidence for the bibles historicity

    To paraphrase Matt Dillahunty, the fact that Spiderman is based in New York City, and that New York City is real, does not mean that Spiderman exists. So I think it's a waste of time finding out how many 'historical facts' there are in the Bible, unless you're doing it just in the interest of...

    Books for atheists?

    Hey, I am wondering if you guys have any book recommendations that are great not necessarily for people yet to be convinced of atheism (such as "The God Delusion"), but books that are enjoyable for atheists to read, are from a non-religious perspective and don't go into trying to refute...

    Death by Dogma

    Dogma is about unthinkingly obeying orders instead of using one's critical faculties. To claim being dogmatic is somehow virtuous is to claim that the very essence of thinking - that is, using one's own mind - is a bad thing. This implicitly reinforces the idea that the individual's mind is...

    What is your stance on free will?

    I don't think we know to what extent we are truly 'in control' of our choices. In a situation like this, where the reality (in this case how 'in control' we are) is essentially unknowable, I adopt understandings that are useful in my own life, rather than trying to find 'truth'. I'm not saying...

    "The universe has always existed."

    Does cause and effect still work when time doesn't exist?

    How to get RID of "Deja Vu"

    Good luck with starting the medication. Just for reference, something that can really help is accepting the feeling of deja vu and exploring it. Being interested by it. Turning towards it instead of away from it, and curiously (and as non-judgementally as possible) 'seeing what's there'. This...

    I demand answers

    My stance: Who cares what caused it? The feeling is there...your bad feeling. Instead of trying to work out why it happened, and trying to reconcile this with your beliefs, acknowledge and work with your feelings.

    If a God exists, and claimed to be good, and moral, would his claim necessarily be true?

    If a God turned out to exist, and I disagreed with his morality, I would not conform to it, even if it meant me going to hell.

    What Does It Matter?

    What needs clarifying?

    What Does It Matter?

    Because we strive for our opinions to be as close to reality as possible. More importantly, because if God exists, a lot of atheists are wasting their time, and if God doesn't, a lot of religious people are wasting their time. Seeing as one's religious belief DOES have repercussions and...

    "The universe has always existed."

    What do we mean when we say "always"? Was time created in the Big Bang too?
