    Religions Are Exempt From Psychiatric Evaluation

    No, they are not necessarily mentally ill as all of that is possible. As long as they conduct their affairs rationally I would not call them mentally ill.

    Can you cite a material creation of Jesus?

    Well, if that’s what you wanted to discuss we would not get that from the original post.

    Self Check-Out

    I am surprised a bit at this recently introduced process. The temptation to skip items for someone tight on money seems like it would wreck the system. I left the store once and found a small item at the bottom of the cart when I was loading my trunk that I unintentionally missed. Walked out...

    Can you cite a material creation of Jesus?

    I think you need to explain your question a bit more.

    Is there any reason to reject the science of evolution, other than religious beliefs?

    I think one reason is that evolution has a physicalist-materialist bent that thinks it all happened physically only through random chance. The mindboggling complexity of DNA and complex life seems to argue for intelligent fostering of the process. So, I hold a position that mixes evolution with...

    If you believe in God AND evolution, why do you believe in God?

    I was just arguing that this evidence suggests a physical brain is not needed for consciousness which is the materialist’s position.

    If you believe in God AND evolution, why do you believe in God?

    I was referring to paranormal evidence including things like Afterlife Evidence

    If you believe in God AND evolution, why do you believe in God?

    God/Source for me is fundamental consciousness. From just my paranormal interests I can see that consciousness does not require a physical brain. The question of evolution is really so 100 years ago.

    Harris Called Out For Being A Communist

    My point was too far left doesn’t work. That was it.

    Harris Called Out For Being A Communist

    After going too far left they get a swing back rightward for correction (through democracy). The USSR had no democracy so no swing back for healthy balance. And communism fails compared to the free world of capitalism.

    Harris Called Out For Being A Communist

    yeah, she's too far left for me. All these great sounding ideas leads to greater socialism/communism. Hasn't that already been shown to be even worse than capitalism? But I also find Trump a lying showman, so who to vote for??

    Nature, Nurture or Soul?

    What 'Messages' are you talking about?

    Nature, Nurture or Soul?

    My thought is that we are the complex interaction of heredity, environment and soul development (through reincarnation).

    How many people wrote the Qur'an?

    In case there's misunderstanding, I hag meant that Muhammed was the only human author, but the ultimate author was Allah through the Angel Gabriel to Muhammed.

    Eternal unconsciousness and religious belief

    I think belief in an afterlife is a much more optimistic and life-affirming belief. Nonbelief is a more depressing viewpoint. That said, my mind must go with what is most rational to believe. I used to be a nonbeliever, but I was intellectually won over by the real-world Afterlife Evidence of...

    Imane khelif wins the olympic gold medal

    Again I have nothing personal against her. People will use this in the cultural war anyway. I’ll repeat that for the safety and fairness to the the XX (female chromosomes) women with female testosterone levels they should not box against XY (male) chromosomes women with the higher testosterone...

    Imane khelif wins the olympic gold medal

    In my opinion you are trying to introduce politics where it doesn't belong. The issue is whether women born with the rare condition of XY (male) chromosomes and high testosterone be allowed to box against women with the normal XX (female) chromosomes and normal female testosterone levels. For...

    How many people wrote the Qur'an?

    After 1,400 years of fact finders, I am comfortable with my lead theory.
