    Doing a little painting recently...

    Your persistence is resulting in impressive progress. One vague piece of advice: create, don't recreate. Don't be afraid to apply exaggeration as a tool, especially in places where it makes a substantive impact, such as the eyes. I know painting face portraits is one of the most difficult...

    Lack of free will & morality

    If there is no free will then we are unable to do anything about what we're going to say, or how we are going to punish anyone. Nor, can we make any meaningful, independent judgments about morality. A lack of free will would apply to everyone, in every way.

    Is Consciousness Independent of the Brain?

    Yes. Everything about consciousness and its connection to the physiology of the brain points to the fact that consciousness is an emergent process arising out of the complex interaction of 100 billion neurons and their 100 trillion synaptic connections. Nothing points to the idea of...

    I'm an aatheist. I lack belief in atheism.

    I an atheist. I don't "lack" any beliefs. I simply don't hold them.

    similarities among religions

    Everybody's guessing, but nobody is very original.

    Friendship

    But they still love them more than anything or anyone else. Well, some don't, but those are people who never should have been parents in the first place.

    John William Draper, a contemporary of Darwin, called it the "Mohammadan Theory of Evolution..!!!

    Your point is clearly wrong.

    When Should Speech be Censored?

    Speech should never be censored. However, it should be punished if it is deemed a criminal act by rational standards. With freedom always comes a commensurate level of responsibility.

    Is Pain And Suffering The Only Way To Convince Atheists That There Is A God

    Partly, many people's over-inflated and fragile egos. Partly, many people's visceral fear of the unknown.

    The dangers of dihydrogen monoxide

    Don't forget that the one time god killed almost all life on Earth, he did it using dihydrogen monoxide. The chosen weapon of mass destruction of the gods themselves - and this stuff if just lying around everywhere.

    Immortality, a gift from God.

    Humans can barely stay sane and usefully occupied for a century. Granting humans immortality is like giving a fruit fly a diamond necklace.

    Only Jesus adherents will attain salvation.

    It appears that god is either using religious belief to filter out the uncritical and credulous, or god wants to spend eternity surrounded by vapid groupies. Either way, I win.

    Friendship

    I expect many people feel this way until they have children.

    Jesus used dark energy to walk on water

    Wrong. Jesus was simply lighter than air. Everyone knows that demigods are composed largely of helium.

    John William Draper, a contemporary of Darwin, called it the "Mohammadan Theory of Evolution..!!!

    I realize that Islam is rather backward, but I didn't realize just how little they understand about the basic reproductive process.

    Get rid of Religion and all our problems will be solved. NOT!

    Anyone who wants to be a politician shouldn't be allowed to be one. Every elected official should be dragged, kicking and screaming into service - and then kicked back out before they get too used to it and start trying to do things.

    On absolute truth and its source, the God: the cyclic definition and proof

    I found it!

    The evolution of the eye

    But, if you see an eye just lying on the beach, would you assume that it had evolved there, or that someone is walking around with an empty eye socket? God wins again.
