    Game of Thrones

    Possibly not, but that doesn't change the authorial intent. Martin's a pacifist hippie who has directly stated his intentions. Compare to your incredibly common stories out there (especially in fantasy) where war is portrayed as glorious and just, a side of pure good fighting against...

    Game of Thrones

    Celebration?? No. More of a condemnation. Martin's books try to subvert fantasy tropes bringing the real horror of war into full display. The show is ... less adept at this than the books, ever since the show deviated from the books, but there's still a decent number of unapologetic portrayals...

    anunnakis vs demons

    Understanding Mesopotamian deities as demons largely comes from medieval works like the Dictionnaire Infernal which contextualized a lot of the false idols (Mesopotamian deities) found in the Old Testament as existing demonic forces, rather than merely being simply false idols. Websites like the...

    Schools should teach about consent for sex

    Given the fact that, statistically speaking, the American Public School system contains more sexual abuse of children than the Catholic Church, I don't think it's the students who need to be taught about consent. We'd probably balk at the idea of having Catholic priests teach children about...

    Women are proof of the existence of God

    OP, from my readings of his past posts, believes in a pantheistic god that exists as an experience in a very Jungian sense. This does not fit my understanding of an "Abrahamic God", but maybe it fits an "abramic god", ya got me there... I don't think you actually have much experience talking...

    Women are proof of the existence of God

    'Tis the only one used here. Oh my, trying to use a phone for forum use?? Explains a lot, actually. But if you're not going to take your time to look into someone's bio to see if they are of the religion you presume them to be before flying off the handle with a crazy post, you should expect...

    Women are proof of the existence of God

    I was not aware that women's beauty being a proof of God was a "christian argument". I actually think you don't. But religion is listed on every single post, so you might want to give it a glance before writing out an angry post that makes you look stupid. :p From the person who assumed OP...

    Women are proof of the existence of God

    Are you unable to read where OP's religion is listed as "My Own"?? You one of those types that thinks all theists are Christians or something?? :p Maybe make yourself less easy to mock and slower to take offense then. :p Starting off already offended and pulling out "Your Bible Says This"...

    QURANIC ANIMISM: He made all gods same god. (Quran 38:5)

    Bro, that's one hell of an omitted context. Quran 38:4-5: "And they wonder that there has come to them a warner from among themselves. And the disbelievers say, 'This is a magician and a liar. Has he made the gods one God? Indeed, this is a curious thing.'"

    Ethnic Cleansing In Syria

    Sunnis aren't an ethnicity my dude.

    I have some deep question about God, help!

    Well let me initially stop you right there, because "plenty out there" != "most", so you appear to be mistakenly presuming my position to begin with. Nah, check the Valleys, suffering is within our control, even if it is not by choice. Our Faith contains within it a mystical path to...

    Obama and the Clintons supported a wall... so what changed

    I've never thought a wall was a good idea, and I'm no partisan so I never cared what those two warmongers wanted. But recently I've become pro-wall, ever since Trump announced an idea to fund the wall through the military budget. I mean, sure, I still think it's a huge waste of money, but if...

    I have some deep question about God, help!

    Might as well give it a shot... Why do you think death is a bad thing?? My Faith's notion of Hell is vastly different then yours, so I cannot answer that. I disagree there. Pain is manageable, and I can think of far worse things from my own subjective perspective. Why do you think we are...

    Fruit picking robots to eliminate need for farm workers?

    Oh yes it did!! Green Revolution - Wikipedia Robots already stole 50% of America's jobs nearly 100 years ago and people were still able to find something to do afterwards. I think we'll be fine going forward.

    Because Jesus Was Executed We Too Should Be Able To Execute People.

    Vaguely reminds me of Dante's idea that the Roman Empire was chosen by God to conquer the world because without them Jesus would not have been sentenced to crucifixion...

    The concept of superstition

    I realized that I developed my own superstition and ritual in my work place. As a background, I was hired after a lot of people left the IT department, a combination of quitting, firings, and a death. Part of my job involved deploying new internal web sites to the server. The problem: No one...

    Why There is Probably No God

    Why is a painting "artificial"?? Why do you say there are "no natural mechanisms that could produce it"?? It is the result of the actions of a naturally occurring animal adapting naturally occurring materials, is it not??

    Why There is Probably No God

    Your title is a misnomer. You are presenting reasons why a certain argument for the existence of a God are flawed. You are not presenting reasons "why there is probably no God".

    Google....So Much For The Slogan, "Don't Be Evil"

    Yeah, more a criticism on the news than anything else.
