    If god wasnt

    It doesn't matter if God was good or bad or anywhere in between. As you've posed the question, and we have to assume his existence, then of course he would be believed in. That's like asking if I believe that you exist, even if you're A-hole. Your character doesn't have anything to do with my...

    The word "cannibal" means something like "priesthood of baal"

    You have to upload the file from an external source, like your desktop or something. Skwim has a thread on it. Save the image you want, then upload in the reply. It's what we're having to do until the forum masters fix the bug.

    Life, is it easy to define?

    The boundary between life and non-life is razor thin, if it exists. There are many abiological processes that seem biological. This is old, but informative for those who are inquiring. https://www.ted.com/talks/martin_hanczyc_the_line_between_life_and_not_life...

    Gowdy: If they had something on Trump, Schiff would have already leaked it.

    Hahaha! If only we could invest in media trading like we do the stock market...

    Gowdy: If they had something on Trump, Schiff would have already leaked it.

    The game of Politics is so dependent on delivery, quantity, and timing, that I disagree. If there's bombshell info, it will come out closer to time to November. Small leaks over long periods of time do more to rouse opposition voters, keeping them stoked, than one haymaker blow months ahead of...

    How did fundamental consciousness arise from basic chemistry

    Flip. And Flop. You can't plant an accusation on Koldo when you're the guilty party in this exchange. You have to first establish that consciousness is Universal, and then that it does not arise from brain chemistry, and that it has always been present... That's a hefty task. This seems to...

    Science as a worldview is just like every other dogma

    It seems like someone has upset your dogma, you've taken it personally, and you're lashing out at another worldview in retort. Pretty much anything can become dogmatic. It all depends on how people use the information given to them, and what their tendencies are. Science, by itself, is...

    The word "cannibal" means something like "priesthood of baal"

    If I've learned anything of RF, it's that we should all start worshiping Baal and eating each other, because linguistics.

    Questions for Atheists and Agnostics

    Questions like this might seem reasonable to people who already believe in a deity. But to the rest of us, it's a nonsense starting point. "Is there any reason to think that elves are real and want 100% of the world to believe in them?" Dafuq?!? See how bonkers that sounds? But to answer...

    When we are dead, will we know it?

    I would think the conscious part of ourselves would be one of the first things to shut down at the moment of death, even though I believe some brain functions and activity take place for a short while after. I guess we'd have to look and see if there are any studies that have been done to see...

    What do you think about a recent proposal to let addicts die of overdoses?

    Should a society choose to watch it's members die because treating them is expensive and time consuming? No.

    Addiction is not a disease.

    I can understand calling it a mental illness. But it's certainly not a disease in the traditional sense. So, you're right. All you have to do to avoid this "disease" is choose to not pick it up off the table... I've lot lost very close friends to addiction, so forgive me if I'm a bit cynical...

    Why Do Atheists Preach??

    Are you talking about the grand scale, or at the individual level? I understand the concept at the macro level. I don't know enough to answer to the individual perspective though.

    Everyone has a religion

    Yes, of course. I was referring to the specific position of the OP. I thought about mentioning that but I didn't want to get too wordy.

    Telekinesis

    The Bible is filled with all types of nonsensical scenarios, like teleporting, shapeshifting, levitation, astral projection, and phase shifting. There are claims of demon pigs, Herculean characters, Salt people, talking animals, magic rocks, etc... I don't see how quoting a passage about object...

    Everyone has a religion

    I'd be interested to hear about your change of position sometime.

    Why Do Atheists Preach??

    A lot of people are confused by the differences between educating and preaching.

    Everyone has a religion

    Everything has a cause, except for the thing that doesn't have a cause. Therefore not everything has to have a cause. Got it.
