So... today I encountered a planet that's a "blood planet"... and the generated name (not given by me or anyone else) is: Yesos. Is the game trying to tell me something?

I was thinking. I know from something I read once that some pantheists celebrate certain holidays.
To list a few:
Winter solstice (i.e. Christmas. Perhaps the real "New Year" celebration?)
Darwin's birthday. Bruno's birthday.
What else? And, what do you think would be the reasons to...
I just realized Orbit's signature text.
When you get the message, hang up the phone. --Alan Watts on enlightenment
I'm trying to understand what it means. Anyone care to point me in the direction? Does it mean that when you've reached enlightenment, you stop further or?
Just curious...
So the question's been raised several times in the general discussion that if a pantheist call the universe God, then it's just a wordplay or word game. Personally, I don't think it is. It's more to it. It's not just throwing a word around because it's fun. There's a reason for it. I have a few...
This excuse is coming up now and then in the debate.
Now I want to hear from the creationists the evidence that evolution is only some political agenda.
Name names. Show documents. Anything that can work as evidence that there's some hidden shadow government driving this above and beyond sound...
I thought struck me the other day. If there is a designer/creator God, where did chaos or randomness come from? Or does chaos not exist?
I think there are three scenarios.
1. Chaos and randomness is a natural thing, something beyond God (if there is a God or not)
2. Chaos and randomness is...
There was an attempt by creationists to gaud the professors at Michigan State U to a "debate", but fail utterly because no one wanted to respond. “It’s like debating the existence of Canada.” Said Carina Baskett, an MSU student.

To make the discussion more to point, let's assume that Moses was the author to Genesis. There could have been an other author (which I think it was, or many source in fact), but that's not pertinent to my question. So, first, let's say Moses was the author.
My question is rather, if Moses (per...

Is this a true story? We have persecution of witches still in this country? Are we going back to medieval times?
In some recent Fox piece, news anchor Megyn Kelly insisted that Jesus was white, just like Santa (which was a historical person according to her).

In Exodus 34:14 it says "Do not worship any other god, for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God."
But in James 3 it says: "14 But if you have bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast and be false to the truth. 15 This is not the wisdom that comes down...
I just got myself a Raspberry Pi. (Link: Raspberry Pi | An ARM GNU/Linux box for $25. Take a byte!)
It's a tiny, cheap Linux box. It's only a few inches long, wide, and perhaps an inch high. It connects through USB and HDMI. It's "harddisk" is a flash card.
I just got it installed and running...
I'm interested in knowing what philosophers through history have contributed to the pantheistic view.
My understanding (and I could be completely wrong here) is that Spinoza were in line with Naturalistic Pantheism.

Fox News Attacks Wiccans - YouTube!
It makes me so angry when reporters show such arrogance, ignorance, and disrespect to religious freedom just because they're not of the same belief. This is a major reason why I rarely every watch Fox News.
What's your opinion? Are they right in...
I registered a few days ago and started to post.
What can be said about me? Hmm...
I used to be Christian, for 30 years, then I lost my faith 10 years ago (or so, can't remember exactly when). Wasn't sure about what to believe for a while. Was (is) an atheist, but now I'm saved... just...
