    Is This Sexist?

    It's not sexist if you consider the difference between gender and sex. Feminine is a term used to describe the feminine gender, not the female sex.

    Islam's claim to be peaceful

    "And when they call themselves the good and the just, do not forget that they would be pharisees, if only they had—power."

    Does science support Atheism, positively?

    And therefore, spirit is a function of substance and not its own separate substance, meaning God means so much less than the OP believes.

    G-d blew it

    Would they offer college courses and majors in sex? Because that's enough motivation for anyone to earn a PhD.

    Does science support Atheism, positively?

    Do you have any rebuttal to my counterarguments to this and the previous post? It is a debate thread after all.

    why atheism isn't immoral

    That wouldn't explain all the people who believe they have "evil thoughts".

    Does science support Atheism, positively?

    Depends. Where on the standard model did God touch you-I mean, the universe?

    Does science support Atheism, positively?

    To (hopefully) answer this all at once, science's limit in this case would be the human ability to see the links, but the links still trace clearly back to some sort of entity that has (at least in part) a material existence. God as a "spiritual concept" would have no method to interact with...

    Why The Correspondence Theory of Truth is so Sex-z!

    Well, replace "in reality" with "in my head" and it becomes a truth...even if you're nowhere near Jane. Or clothing.

    Does science support Atheism, positively?

    A single touch is enough to secure the scientific foothold on the search for God.

    Why The Correspondence Theory of Truth is so Sex-z!

    I...don't...know? I'm wary about claiming to know what corresponds to reality in general, since we only have perceptions of reality to go off of. So probably nay here.

    Does science support Atheism, positively?

    Both of these would require a god-concept with no interaction with the physical/material/energetic world. As for the Hamlet thing, some literary critic has probably already done it. :p

    Does science support Atheism, positively?

    Only if your current spiritual model agrees with the scientific model. What's to say they won't conflict? Or is your spiritual model merely derivative of scientific discovery?

    Does science support Atheism, positively?

    If you know that beating your wife causes activation of her pain receptors and wounds her psychologically as well as physically, would you follow another "assumption" that says beating her is morally acceptable?

    Grey Rights

    I would assume, supposing the became citizens.

    As Hawking called it, "model-dependent realism". http://physics.about.com/od/stephenhawking/f/ModelDependentRealism.htm

    Did Consciousness Evolve as a Defense Mechanism?

    Might have been in the chat. Anywho, it sounds plausible. Being able to create a mental model of self helps to coordinate the body, which would allow for better defense. I doubt it's the only reason (or main reason) but it seems to be one of many perks to its development.

    Does science support Atheism, positively?

    Not really. It just helps form a workable model of the universe.

    Did Consciousness Evolve as a Defense Mechanism?

    Sunstone, am I having deja vu or have we discussed this before?

    Does science support Atheism, positively?

    Well, you don't have to, but to deny them really just leaves you in a pit of solipsism.
