    Do you see it or feel it?

    Every generation gets told they're worse than the ones before... by the ones of the previous generation. In Finland, it seems to be improving in general by far comparing to the 70s, 80s, 90s, 00s... but to balance things the really evil people seem more extensive in their immorality and get...

    LDS Church Makes 'Surprise' Change on LGBT Issues

    Seems like they change with the times to follow just the thing you quoted in Luke. There's no reason to forgive or to hold responsible for the past when they've changed, right?

    Who's a pacifist?

    They seem pacifistic to me if they argue that we shouldn't use violence and they stay out of it. No reason to say people who are atheist pacifists are not pacifists if they accept that nature includes violence.

    Nonviolence or Pacifism?

    If they were female? It was fine. If they were male? Shot and killed. It was treason to "home, religion and fatherland" in those times. Arndt Pekurinen - Wikipedia

    Neither theist nor atheist?

    People love neat labels and get annoyed when their labels don't fit, the fault is then the one they wish to label. Although I'm practically a transtheist, for reasons of debates I've been given the label theist.

    Kids Who Remember Their Past Lives

    I don't know about it. In my beliefs it doesn't matter if there is another life or not. You will not be yourself either way if you drink from the well of forgetfulness.

    Nonviolence or Pacifism?

    I respect people who are pacifists. For me there are lines you can't cross. If you do, the gloves come off.

    Where is the proof ?

    I think one of the problems is what's presented as evidence and another is if something should be presented in the first place. I don't think what became Christianity 1500-1600 years ago was ever intended for large groups of people to accept. What a spiritual baptism is the verification for the...

    Jihad is not what you think it is

    There are different interpretations of it, I think the point is that we don't need to always take the worst interpretation of any scripture.

    Cardi B the female version of Bill Cosby? Yea yeah..No no...mutha****a!

    If we look at the good sides, the way to healing is honesty and I think she can help many others see that no matter where they are now the future might be better. I think what you said about rough pasts of rap musicians, the same holds true for many, even religious leaders. I don't think she...

    Something no human has seen before': The first-ever photograph of a black hole will likely be unveil

    He lived with purpose, and I think he was already happy enough seeing it through the equations... that's more than our sensory organs can ever amount to. So we should celebrate his tireless work with this. :)

    Great news. :) This is a wonderful photo! Made me smile a lot.

    The end of hatered

    For someone to change they need to have a motivation for it. I don't know how others realize that they need to cultivate themselves, for me it just happened. Did you have some realization when you started and became buddhist?

    The end of hatered

    I challenge myself to get over some of the hatreds I've had. It's rough work sometimes, but letting it go is worth it. You might not know it if you knew me now, but instead of laughing at all the adversity as I do now, my mind was full of poisonous thought and raging emotions in the past. It was...

    Religion and anti-vaccination movement reprise -- understanding Rockland county and the Jews

    We also had some pentecostals spread measles in their communities due to this. Even tuberculosis seems to make a comeback. It's scary how easily people will lose all that they have over misplaced anger.

    The end of hatered

    You can't change other people. They will have hate down to their bones and it will make them miserable. The only thing we can do is just stand by what is right. If there are enough positive examples, even the angry will start to lose some of their poison.

    Hypothetical scenario for a world without religion

    If you think God is like a human or demands you to do something then that makes sense. But what if God or even gods aren't like that? If you read about "mysticism", you know that there are plenty of us who have experienced God across cultures. Whether it's your luck to experience it or not...

    Hypothetical scenario for a world without religion

    It's because you believe it. The science one is true whether you believe it or not. Nobody can make a computer or any modern equipment without the verified theories of science. We use it every day whether we believe in a creator or not.

    Hypothetical scenario for a world without religion

    Scientific theories form the basis for why we are able to communicate here. Without science there would be no internet, no computers, or even The Bohemian Rhapsody.
