    How the Law (doesn't really), define "gender identity"

    The Indian Supreme Court is interested in just one thing, "Do they enjoy all human rights (as mandated in our Constitution) without discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity?" To protect these rights is the responsibility of the Supreme Court. The individual's claim is...

    Atheists and believers surprisingly share moral values, except for these 2 key differences

    Yes, there are athiests like that (and even theists, after all, they make the majority of people), but do not generalize.

    Do your beliefs make you happy?

    If one is loyal to his wife/wives (in earlier ages), then one is a 'Brahmachari' (one who acts in the law). Yeah, Hinduism does not promote promiscuity. There is a particular time when one should become a 'sannyasi'. After finishing studies and getting a job, there are other responsibilities...

    Do your beliefs make you happy?

    But you know, my belief, Hinduism, mandates sex. Do you mean all men and women should live without sex, should not have children? It is one of the four things that we are supposed to do in life (Purusharthas - Dharma, Artha, Kama, Moksha - Fulfill duties, earn, raise family and understand life...

    Irony of the evolutionary belief

    Do you have any evidence of that? :cool:

    Do your beliefs make you happy?

    What a crazy belief! You mean a happy person should not enjoy tasty food, alcohol, sex or travel? I do not like pets in my house.

    How the Law (doesn't really), define "gender identity"

    I think Indian Supreme Court is very clear on this. Why should courts decide gender-identity of a person? Let them do it on their own. It has been the law since 2014. "Everyone is entitled to enjoy all human rights without discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity...

    An introduction and call for participation

    Welcome to the forum. Advertising is against the rules. I am hard of hearing, so podcasts are out. Good that I do not waste time on hour-long podcasts or videos. Strong atheist, not one to believe in UFOs without evidence and till date there is none authenticated. But I am nearly always...

    How Much Do You Doubt God's Existence?

    We live in a virtual world. Reality of an 'energy world' is different.

    How Much Do You Doubt God's Existence?

    There are answers for that, but there is no evidence that a God is involved in them.

    How Much Do You Doubt God's Existence?

    That is true for Hindu theists also. :D

    How Much Do You Doubt God's Existence?

    I disagree. Hindus have the same set of high standards as the Abrahamic religions for their Gods and Goddesses. I would say better, since the Hindu Gods and Goddesses can live together. :)

    How Much Do You Doubt God's Existence?

    Who created diseases and disasters, earthquakes, volcanoes, floods, famines, tsunamis, tornadoes, typhoons, forest fires, etc. Are humans responsible for these too?

    How Much Do You Doubt God's Existence?

    We would know by what happens in the world he created. Murder, rapes, robberies, wars, diseases, poverty and natural disasters like earthquakes, volcanoes, floods, famines, tsunamis, tornadoes, typhoons, fires, etc.

    How Much Do You Doubt God's Existence?

    Absolutely not. I live in a society, in a country. I must follow the rules of the society and that of the government. That is my duty ('dharma').

    Genesis - Big Bang mash-up

    Yeah, there is a line in RigVeda (my guess, around 1,000 BCE) which always impresses me: You might have found me quoting it, very 'quantumistic'. "Sages who searched with their heart's thought discovered the existent's kinship in the non-existent."...

    Genesis - Big Bang mash-up

    Yes, it happens just like the appearance and disappearance of virtual particles. We do not know the reasons yet, But nothing points to existence of an entity, which people term as God.

    Genesis - Big Bang mash-up

    Good, if it works well in other situations.

    How Much Do You Doubt God's Existence?

    Yeah, they too. Just a perception.

    One God or many gods

    Badness is eternal in Christianity, they are born in sin. It does not go away in the third or fourth generation.
