Interesting question. This is one of the reasons I became convinced that there are probably no gods at all. The "evidence" provided for non-existent gods is identical to the "evidence" provided by people who think their god is actually real. They have everything in common. For me, the evidence I...
This is really the only question I have: Do you think that beliefs are something that you proclaim or are beliefs the end result of being convinced? Or do you define "belief" in some other way? I don't think I have ever come across a person who, before explaining their beliefs, makes a bold...
Money and those who have the most of it, unfortunately rule the world.
I'm basing my opinion on how the US government actually functions. If you want to be rich and you are not already rich, get elected to congress or the senate and you will be. Nearly everyone are millionaires or billionaires...
Oh Ken...this is a pretty spectacular assertion. Slam dunk demonic possession? There is ZERO actual scientific evidence for the existence of "demons". Since there is no proof that "demons" exist, the idea that a woman rolling on the ground imitating a man's voice is "slam dunk demon possession"...
Never?
What is the fastest way to delivered a message from NY to London?
In 1845? The answer would be by boat of course. That was an undisputed fact.
Until the 40's when we started flying planes across the Atlantic. At that point, it was a fact that if you wanted to deliver a letter from NY...
What is more plausible, that the all powerful creator of the universe really wants certain men to cut off pieces of their sexual organ in order to show god that they are committed to him OR that a grown man who is leading a group of ignorant desert dwellers CLAIMED that god told him all the men...
Ha ha! Nice. Where should I go to study the data generated from examining all the surviving aspects of previously decomposed human brains? Evidently, you have studied it?
Where is all your evidence and proof for the idea that a personality survives the bran after the brain dies???
If you believe the creation myth told in Genesis, then sex started with Adam and Eve. After having children, Eve had incestual sex with at least one of her sons. Since they were the only humans on earth.
You're right...God's story is more appealing to those who find having sex with your own...
Sure, in fact, you can see the data yourself. Simply go by every single cemetery on planet earth. See all the dead bodies buried in the ground and notice how their brains no longer function. 100% of the data shows the same thing, no aspects of the functioning brain has ever survived.
100% of the data shows this is incorrect. When a person dies, their brain dies, there is no personality left. There is ZERO credible evidence for this idea that a persons personality can separate itself from the brain after it dies. I wish it were true (to some extent), but it’s just wishful...
A complete and total man-made invention. A figment of the imagination that is passed on from generation to generation, changing over time as facts refute fiction.
If you really want to remove all your bias, start by asking “is this real at all?”, rather than beginning with that false...
I'll try to explain it better and please do not feel obligated to waste your time clarifying anything.
As I said in my first post, I do not think anyone's opinions should be censored. This is not because I do not understand the OP. I would like to select option #5, which is not an option. That...
You said it was best to base your opinions on facts (of course I agree).
I am saying, that is the entire point of having an open discussion... to allow people to determine what are facts and what are not facts. What do we consider reputable sources of information or not. If you decide the...
