    Can You Choose What You Believe?

    Can you choose what you believe? To be clear, I'm not asking if you can choose your religion or if you can choose what to label yourself or your views. Can you choose what to believe or disbelieve? Or are such core convictions or biases inherent in the individual based on experiences? Or...

    A few questions for Christians

    I am trying to understand why people are Christians and what it means to them to be a Christian. So, I have three questions. What caused you to become a Christian? What does being a Christian mean to you? How do you think Jesus wants you to live?

    Why should someone believe?

    I am an atheist. I don't believe in a god. I never really have, since I grew up in a nation where religion has very little power and my family never encouraged any sort of religion in my upbringing. I haven't had a real conversation about beliefs with religious people before and I'd like to...

    Would you welcome a post on proving systems?

    It can be perfectly reasoned that there are exactly four belief classes regarding what happens when we die. It can be perfectly reasoned that there are exactly four viable proving systems by which we convince ourselves that we are in possession of the truth. In most instances these are tailored...

    Do You Believe In What You Haven't Experienced?

    Do you believe in anything you have not experienced personally? Of so, what is it and what led you to believe it? If you have not experienced it, do you have evidence of it? If you have no experience of it and no evidence of it, why do you choose to believe in it?

    Knowledge entails Belief

    Often times in our modern society, those who are anti-religious or non-religious try to undermine religion with word-play. Knowledge, they assert, is qualitatively better than belief - claiming that they "know" things while the religious only "believe" things. However, this claim is rather...

    Belief versus knowledge

    Let’s say That I write a book containing chapter after chapter of supposedly truth, And then I ask you to believe it. I ask you to believe it because, obviously, by yourself you can’t verify the truth. Wouldn’t it have been better if I had took some other approach, An approach whereby you didn’t...

    A religiously themed game...

    First off, this is not a game currently in existence, it's something I have been kicking around the idea of making for a while, and the more ideas I get, the more fun it seems... well... to me anyway. The idea may offend some, or everyone (I don't know) but this being a religiously-dedicated...

    Evangelism as a means of authentication: An atheistic view of the psychology behind faith

    Humanity has been plagued by an inescapable lack of meaning since its inception. When faced with such overwhelming lack of direction, we have sought to construct understandings of reality to explain and provide purpose to our lives, and as an extension, human existence. Everything we hold...

    A Belief

    It is written somewhere that we are born with inaleinable rights, life, liberity and the pusuit of happiness. Of course, where you are born makes it either harder or easier to be aware of these rights and to exercise them. Now as long as you have those that have and those that don't (ying/yang)...

    Are atheists liars, deniers or..?

    Or insert any other theory about why atheists don't believe. It's interesting, because this accusation is sometimes thrown around by some members on RF. EDIT: I should have made this more clear, I'm talking mainly of a rigid concept of god here, mostly in a classical monotheistic sense. Also...
