    What was Leonardo DaVinci's Beliefs?

    Interesting! I did read up a little bit that the shroud of turin is supposedly Davinci's face but there's so many mysteries and conspiracies surrounding his life it's hard to decipher what is true and what is not. Thanks for the info!

    Questions for Christians

    and there will be justice only for the people who pick the right religion. Makes perfect sense. Looks like the majority of us will suffer in this life and in the next one!

    What was Leonardo DaVinci's Beliefs?

    I was watching a documentary called The Story of Science and it was about DaVinci's drawings of human anatomy and out of curiosity I wanted to know what his spiritual beliefs were. It seems I can not find a clear answer and everything ranges from theist, humanist, non-religious, luciferian...

    My spiritual journey.

    I personally don't put myself in any one religion but i'd say Buddhism is my biggest influence. One of the first books that put me on the spiritual path was Buddhism-Plain & Simple by Steve Hagen. A great book on Taoism is The Tao is Silent by Raymond M Smullyan. I also would recommend Total...

    What kind of soup do you like?

    :yes: Nothing compares to Pho! I eat it at least 3 times a week!

    I can't decide whether God exists!

    I'm not saying you should be an atheist at all. You can believe in evolution and god if that makes sense to you but it isn't necessary to invoke a deity in the process of evolution. You sound like you sway towards Deism.

    I can't decide whether God exists!

    Since you're a biology major you should try looking at it through a rational, scientific viewpoint instead of searching for a "feeling". I'm glad you see evolution as a fact because it truely is a wonderful discovery and understanding of life. Things like raining frogs or fish are actually...

    Anyone seen The Ledge?

    I thought it was great. You should definitely check it out. We atheists usually get portrayed in movies as negative, but The Ledge does a great job of shattering that image.

    Satan

    haha of course! That's one of the great parts of debate.

    Satan

    We have a biological need to be moral because it allows the species to thrive and survive on a whole. Animals have a sense of morality that lets them feel empathy and help others in distress. We need to be moral from a personal view because we can see the results of doing something positive for...

    Satan

    Well if god allows evil things to happen because we have freewill, then he has no right to ***** and complain about it and send you to make you an eternal shishkabob. If god allows for bad things to happen as a "test", he is not moral at all and unworthy of our attention. The child with cancer...

    Satan

    it sounds like God = Religious Authorities/Beliefs Satan = anyone who doesn't follow the Religious Authorities/Beliefs how is it any different that from a moral perspective creator creates evil character - 1. drug dealer buys rabid pitbull allows evil character to exist - 2. drug dealer...

    Moral Dilemma

    I would support a secular organization also. Education shouldn't involve any sort of religious ideas, look at the education system here in america and how many problems we have with the evolution vs. creationism debate. I'd rather see our future generations get a real education that doesn't come...

    If God exists why is he hiding?

    By asking if god is hiding, are you referring to an anthropomorphic deity that has specific characteristics or belongs to a certain religion? It's hard to ask that question because the term god is so vague and abstract it can mean anything. I don't think god/gods are hiding because I think they...

    What makes People "Sinners"?

    I think "sin" just means to break one of the established belief system's rule and pertains to religion. I think it's irrelevant and we should just focus on when we make mistakes and see how we can learn from it instead of making yourself feel bad for breaking an established "rule".

    Hell would not teach us anything

    So true, None of us know for certain what happens after death but I just don't think anything happens after we biologically shut down. When people tell you that there's heaven, valhalla, reincarnation, rebirth or anything else it's simply an idea without any factual evidence. I guess we'll just...

    Hell would not teach us anything

    I think our self awareness is a curse in the scope of death because although other living organisms are aware of death, our species is the one that fears it the most. The human ego seems to project an afterlife out of greed and cowardice. People have the greedy notion that it's not fair that...

    Hell would not teach us anything

    Your absolutely right with those points as it also applies to the big bang theory. As we fill the gaps where god(s) was/were, they just point to it that there is still a gap. I just wish people could be humble and say we don't know everything. It takes time to learn about reality and we...

    Hell would not teach us anything

    hahaha I agree. It would be like beating yourself up for burning the Thanksgiving turkey everyday for the rest of your life!
