    Things I Do Not Understand

    Yes. We wouldn't want you to feel any less sexy in the afternoon or evening.

    Why do people believe what they believe?

    The One Valid Religion™ claim is based on the scripture of that religion. As I already said, not everyone accepts the Bible as their scripture. It's like me claiming the "One Valid Cornbread Recipe™" based my own cookbook. "Us?" Do you have a mouse in your pocket? I expect you to respect...

    How can you tell if a Prophet is true?

    A Baha'i with an agenda?! Surely you jest! I'm well aware of the MO of a few Baha'is here. I typically choose to look beyond that and answer their questions based on my own perspective, not so much for my own sake, but for that of anyone else reading.

    The opposite of believing is knowing

    I'm a knower. Well, at least I believe I am.

    Things I Do Not Understand

    It doesn't matter. Bears don't eat light bulbs.

    Why do people believe what they believe?

    I think you know that @stvdv meant by the religion you identify with. You indicate your religion "Christian" in your profile. No need for such silly semantic games. Why do you assume that the Second Commandment is relevant to someone who doesn't identify as Christian or even Abrahamic? We...

    How can you tell if a Prophet is true?

    Not all religions buy into the concept of prophets. Mine doesn't. That said, disciples recognize masters/gurus/sages through their temperament, actions and how they engage the world and people around them. Such a person is one that another aspires to be. Anyone can say they speak the word...

    How did Muhammad earn his living?

    Clearly anti-Islam propaganda. As an aside, the animation is fantastic. I thought I was watching live action for a second.

    Why do people believe what they believe?

    Experience. Initially, children will adopt the beliefs in which they are raised. At some point based on critical thinking, inherent tendencies, and/or experiences beyond their immediate family, those adopted beliefs will either be accepted or rejected. For those that believe in God, the...

    Should porn sites require IDs

    No. It's up to parents, not the government, to monitor what their kids are looking at online.

    Politics is the religion of atheists

    There are plenty of atheists that have no interest in politics. There are plenty of theists here that debate politics. This is entirely unconnected from title of the thread. Which idea were you hoping to discuss?

    Let's Talk About Shiva

    Well, this isn't a debate thread. Take the debate and, as @JustGeorge has already asked, the Abrahamic discourse elsewhere. Thank you.

    The Pagan, Buddhist, and Hindu Thread

    You must be. @ChieftheCef said you are. It's always helpful when someone comes along and tells you about your practices and/or your personal views. Where's the gratitude? :p

    I was just thinking about something my dad said.

    Are people still people after their bodies and brains expire? Who or what is it that is the Nazi or child molester?

    Sex workers?

    Sure, but I decided reply in the context of the OP, who doesn't live in "much more to the world that the US." But thanks for trying to take me to school.

    The Pagan, Buddhist, and Hindu Thread

    What difference were you expecting? ;)

    Sex workers?

    Outside Nevada's 10 counties, not anywhere in the US.

    Things I Do Not Understand

    I'm no expert, but I think it's because they lose their balance.

    Sex workers?

    Presuming you mean 'immoral,' no. What falls into my field of vision isn't something I control. Of course, I could walk around with my eyes closed, but them I'm more likely to walk right into a sex worker. "On the up and up"? Did prostitution become legal somewhere I'm not aware of? Because...

    A concern I have with churches…

    Me too. But apparently daylight savings time affects the year the world came into existence.
