    What is the meaning of mystic experience?

    Isn't mystical experience already set within the framework of symbols of the religions you're familiar with? Someone brought up with christianity will automatically colour an experience with God and Jesus as they interpret the experience as it's happening. No need to then reframe it into that...

    Ask Any RF Member a Question...

    Super happy! I've been in it 2 weeks and so far have heard nothing but positive feedback. Due for a meeting with HR and the owners in a week or two, and i'm feeling optimistic. It's challenging, and i'm really enjoying it. Only one or two small bumps in the road that I managed to smooth out with...

    Mares eat oats and does eat oats and little lambs eat ivy, a kid'll eat ivy too, wouldn't you? I play this song on the piano, my daughter loves it :)

    Does science support Atheism, positively?

    Perhaps you think too much

    Does science support Atheism, positively?

    You're right - religions do have a lot to say about it, but a belief in God, by itself, does not. The issue, I think, is the associated beliefs that can come alongside, not theism alone. To say "I believe God exists" says just that, no more or less. But "i'm Christian" means a belief in God...

    Does science support Atheism, positively?

    Omg. So I used a feminine pronoun where most might use a male. They're both correct. Get over it, get used to the idea that one is equally legitimate as the other. Also a little perturbed that you presume to tell me what prospective I "should" have. I've got one all of my own, thanks very much...

    Does science support Atheism, positively?

    No idea about who Gould is, or what this person said. But I did say that theism and science are MOSTLY separate. Sure, that'll be some overlap somewhere, just like politics and music may overlap, too. All i'm saying is that God, whether or not he or she or it exists, is not a concern of...

    Does science support Atheism, positively?

    why NOT do it? Was there something wrong with it, other than "annoying you"? I ain't here to project your feelings, buddy!

    Does science support Atheism, positively?

    Indeed, yes. Unless, of course, there's some kind of mechanism in place for a supra-natural existence to have an effect that hadn't yet been discovered. Don't imagine it is likely to be discovered with the tools we have, at least until we create something physical that can interact somehow...

    Does science support Atheism, positively?

    Gods are, by many definitions, existent outside of the natural world. So it's no surprise to not find it or them within the natural world using a method to explore the natural world.

    Does science support Atheism, positively?

    Yeah, why not. I was about to write "he" , but then thought "hey, most people would write that, too, but scientists can be women!" My little way of challenging the assuming way a lot of us speak. I like to be inclusive, y'know. Sexism ain't cool.

    Does science support Atheism, positively?

    science and gods are two subjects that don't really have much to say about each other. A scientist is a scientist, whether she believes in God or not

    That's pretty much what I said

    Bravest minorities of RF

    I'm a minority! I'm super outnumbered by everyone else. Not sure if that makes me brave though. Its it brave to be me?

    Does science support Atheism, positively?

    Some scientists, however, do seem to have a lot to say about the subject...

    Does science support Atheism, positively?

    I don't think science has all that much to say about God, gods, or the lack of such. Science is science, and that's all there is to it

    Could you kill an animal that you got close to

    If I raised an animal to be a pet, probably not. But if I got close to my food, then yes. I talk to my beans and my tomatoes too...

    what do non religious people think about abortion?

    Haha! I totally didn't realise :P though if this reignites the discussion, being that it is only 2 pages long, it's not necessarily a bad thing is it?

    what do non religious people think about abortion?

    Non-religious here. First of all, I'll say there should be in place a comprehensive sex education system which includes making people aware of all the various kinds of contraception available. That would go a fair way in limiting unwanted and unplanned pregnancies. Not to mention stds...

    Does alcohol really make you forget

    You're absolutely correct. I hope my post didn't sound like I was advocating for alcohol as a coping mechanism, for i'm totally with you. It can help in mild amounts as I said with stress relief and the feel good, but often the problem is that beyond one or two drinks, the effect is canceled, or...
