    Stephen Hawking: 'There is no heaven'

    That would be because "Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence"...yes? The claim of a dragon is far less extraordinary than the claim of a god yet people have no problem believing in gods but consider the belief in dragons to be delusional. I`ll never get it.

    Do you really think you are helping anyone?

    Matthew 6:6 (New International Version) 6 But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. :)

    Which is a Better Foundation for Morality, Nature or Belief in God?

    It`s a good day when you and I are in complete agreement on something Pegg. :)

    Oddy enough your entire post reeks of arrogance.

    Intuition

    I believe intuition to be the belief in a thing/concept based upon tidbits of subtle evidence picked up on a subconscious or nearly subconscious level. I do act on intuition but never drastically. Intuition may lead me to want to "believe" in something but I reserve my belief until I can...

    Do you really think you are helping anyone?

    Then I too would be arrogant beyond belief. No, it`s an act of unbelievable arrogance.

    religion unites...yeah right...

    No, actually the divisions are specified in writing according to different religions scriptural texts. A huge portion of Judaic law exists for the sole reason of keeping "Others" from unity with Jews. This cannot be denied if one has read the texts. The same can be said for the Muslim...

    Stephen Hawking: 'There is no heaven'

    No, it`s a rejection of an idea. In order to deny the existence of heaven(concept/idea) one must first be aware of heaven. Without the idea of heaven the rejection of it is impossible. The one who posits the idea of heaven as "real" holds the burden of evidence.

    religion unites...yeah right...

    By that standard there is no "true" religion. All religious dogma creates "others". That is one of it`s primary purposes.

    Any Photoshop Experts on RF?

    Are you trying to get the image to fit within one of Deviantart's required aspect ratio`s for printing? If so you can simply create a complimentary border around your image to fit the ratio.

    My Pet is Weirder Than Yours

    This is Ricochet. He has a rubber fetish, anything that smells of or feels like rubber he will steal. My wife gets up 20 minutes earlier in the morning than she would have to just to find her sneakers (rubber soles) which he has stolen and hidden in one of his stash spots. He once stole my...

    Am I The Only One Who Thinks Killing Osama Wasn't The Right Thing To Do

    I think killing him was the ONLY rational thing to do. Which is why I`m so surprised they actually did it.

    Atheists: If there's no God, then where did the world come from?

    I don`t know. That was a very convincing answer. NEXT QUESTION PLEASE!!!

    Wrong to Cheat on Partner?

    It`s wrong because it`s a violation of another. The fact that the incident caused no harm is known only through hindsight. There`s no way to tell what harm it would do while engaging in the act. You would be committing the act knowing it could cause great harm. That makes it wrong.

    I see no need to legislate this act at all. Leave it be.

    What is wrong with Gays

    Religious reason: Leviticus 20:13 (New International Version, ©2011) 13 “‘If a man has sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They are to be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads. Secular reason: There isn`t one.

    Diamonds a girls best friend? I think not!

    How does the divorce rate support your statement that a wedding band is not a symbol of love? If I divorce my wife next year for whatever reason does that mean I didn`t love her when I gave her the ring? Is my divorce evidence that my love was not real when I made my vows? I don`t think so...

    Does pornography have a legitimate place in society?

    Actually the amateur stuff is more to my taste than pro commercial porn as professional mainstream porn strikes me more as comedy than eroticism. :)

    Why does anyone care about watching sports?

    Actually there was a really good thread around here awhile back that came to the conclusion that sports fanaticism is the closest activity to religiosity. I found the argument very persuasive. I also agree with your statement above. :)
