    Was it still blue when you'd finished with it?

    The disaster that is the Labour government.

    Well, we know that no matter how incompetent Labour might be, the Tories are, without the tiniest doubt, many times worse, with a still-steaming track record to prove it. So what's your solution? Give the government to the SNP?

    Wall-to-wall nonsense, then. Thanks for clearing that up.

    Which 'one', exactly?

    Personal Revelation

    But not who you've been? Then where is any identity between your previous self, of whom you know nothing and with whom (I take it) you share no genetics?

    Personal Revelation

    How will the you of that time know that he's also the you of this time? Or won't he?

    Personal Revelation

    What do you mean, "live again"? In your present body? In some other body, and if so, what? Disembodied in reality? Then how will you perceive reality, without sense organs? Disembodied nowhere? Assuming that can be distinguished from being dead, it's not something I'd wish for, so what's the...

    The Garden of Eden

    As I mentioned, in the Garden story it's God who misspeaks, and the snake who tells the truth ─ they were not going to die in the day that they ate of the fruit, and they did not die. Nor at any point in the story do they reject God. Instead, God, frightened that they might also eat from the...

    The Division in Christianity

    Surely it's impossible to prove the veracity ─ the objective truthfulness ─ of any religion's supernatural claims, including Christianity's?

    Let's Debate Inequality

    And how would such a government finance public education, public health, age pensions, child protection, and so on?

    So what's your solution to the problem of inequality?

    The Garden of Eden

    In the Garden story, and indeed in the Tanakh, there is no suggestion that Adam and Eve sinned or that as a result mankind "fell". The ONLY reason God gives for expelling them from the Garden is set out in Genesis 3:22-23. It states that God was afraid A&E would eat from the Tree of Life and...

    Is Science The Top Reason People Abandon Spiritual Pursuits?

    Yes, I guess every generation sees changes that it wishes hadn't happened. With this particular example I'm not sad, but I understand what you say.

    Is Science The Top Reason People Abandon Spiritual Pursuits?

    As I understand it, the great majority of cultures around the world, now and in known history, have had an origin myth or collection of myths to account for how come the world is like it is and we're all in it, including origins of the earth, its features like mountains and oceans, the weather...

    The Garden of Eden

    Nothing in the story suggests that the snake is a liar. On the contrary, the only ─ shall we say, misspeaking ─ is God's statement that if they eat the fruit they'll die the same day. The story is explicit that they had no knowledge of good and evil before they ate the fruit. I agree. He's...

    You don't have a monopoly on truth.

    I define 'truth' as a quality of statements, and a statement is true to the extent that it accurately reflects / corresponds with objective reality. And since I don't have a monopoly on statements, i don't have a monopoly on 'truth'. If by 'religious beliefs' you mean supernatural beliefs, I...

    Was you baptised as a child?

    Yep, as a Pisco. My parents thought that good manners required such observances. I had a time of religious enthusiasm when I was 14, and was confirmed (a practice I'm told has since fallen into desuetude). Not long after, I'd drifted completely away. It never felt relevant.

    Abortion

    It ain't rocket science. It's simply the principle that a woman is the captain of her own body up to the point where the fetus is entitled to rights of its own. See Roe v Wade >Roe v. Wade - Wikipedia<, with which I agree.
