    Should the U.S. reverse its policy on China/Taiwan?

    Atheists: If God existed would God… (Continued)

    Suffering exists (regardless of logic). God exists (if you choose to believe that God exists, and that is regardless of logic). But, if God is all-powerful, and all-knowing, then he is aware of the suffering, and he has the power to stop the suffering, but chooses not to. ...

    Anthropomorphic God and Oneness

    I suppose that if two people agree, their thoughts are equal on certain topics. But, it brings up the question of how they arrived at their agreement.

    How have your religious beliefs benefited you?

    OPTIMISM: Things will get better. Covid and monkey pox. Things will get better. Debt, inflation, unemployment, outsourced factories. Things will get better. Wars, torture camps, lies to explain wars (yellow cake Uranium sold to Iraq---NOT). Things will get better. It reminds me of a comedy...

    "Do you believe in an afterlife?"

    ESP grabs info out of the air. Some is knowledge of future events. Is ESP real? Statistics professor (former head of her department at UC Irvine) Jessica Utts, thinks that she proved ESP. She had been hired to do early studies of it. ESP research, since it doesn't seem to have a scientific...

    Poll: Signs of eloquence of Quran

    How could the various versions (King James, etc.) of the New Testament be exactly the same, yet worded differently? That would be a miracle. As it is, the bibles have contradictions (obvious mistakes).

    Poll: Signs of eloquence of Quran

    Even an eloquent Quran can be misinterpreted. Once pricipal can be emphasized over another by cherry-picking out the things we don't want, and cherry-picking in the things that we do want. Christians over-emphasize Gays (the bible is filled with things that we are not supposed to do, so why...

    If Science Can't Answer it...

    Science proposes theories based on the best knowledge that our best (and most educated) minds can produce. Scientists would change their minds in a heartbeat if they felt that they were wrong. They don't consider their theories to be facts. Theists try to make the world (and science) fit...

    If Science Can't Answer it...

    Atlas holds the world. But what holds Atlas? Atlas stands on a turtle. But what holds the turtle? Etc. Every lie engenders the next lie. What a tangled web.
