    What is a sign from god(s)?

    Interpreting "signs" is really an exercise in interpreting and confirming one's own desires. Internally honest, aware, and consistent minds have far less of a need for such activities. I understand why and how such things are appealing to many people though - whether it is seeing "signs,"...

    What is a sign from god(s)?

    Indeed. Religion seems to attractive to many people who are internally conflicted. Outside direction and order appeals to the mind that is internally chaotic and disordered.

    Do you like to gamble?

    We can't sincerely choose a belief based on an intellectually hollow gamble. If you sincerely believe in whatever god, then pascal's wager doesn't apply to you. If you are applying pascal's wager, then you don't sincerely believe in whatever god. Either way, it's nonsense.

    If God is Omnipresent,

    Heaven for some, hell for others. Some of this is our choosing, some is out of our control. It's no coincidence that those whose life is hell are the ones more likely to hope for a heaven.

    For Women: Wonder Woman is super sexist and now I'm confused...

    My wife wanted to see WW, so we went. I was surprised that it was actually a pretty decent movie, and better than most superhero movies I've seen. WW is obviously a strong, capable women - she's a superhero after all, but, I didn't really get the connection between WW and feminism...

    What is God like?

    God is exactly like the person talking about their god. There is no better way to learn about a person than to have them describe what they think god is, because they're really talking about themself.

    New survey: half of Canadians think religion does more harm than good

    Just as with people's opinion about atheists, this poll says more about the population answering it than it does about religion. I've constructed complex models and algorithms, not only for work, but as a personal hobby, and I would have a hard time coming up with one which could meaningfully...

    "Are Your Kids Having Sex?"

    If Republican means that I smoothly and confidently express to Americans that I'm fighting for them, while at the same time, only doing things that go against their best interests, then yes, I proudly call myself a Republican.
