    If you believe in an afterlife: Do animals go? (read on)

    No. They don't have souls the same way humans do, so there's no afterlife for them. :(

    would you be god if you had the opportunity?

    I nominate Revoltingest for new god on the strength of calorie-free chocolate and excellent TV. If I were god, I'd give receipts for prayers. Just so you know I got 'em.

    Your View On Creationism

    Actually, it seems to me that if the project is on people's beliefs, the best way to find out about it is to ask a bunch of people what they believe. GuitarGuy, you might have more luck in a DIR if you're looking specifically for Christian or Abrahamic viewpoints, those people generally think...

    Claims and Burden of Proof

    I agree with Sunstone. Anyone making a claim assumes the burden of proof. Anyone saying not only "God X does not exist," but also "No god of any type exists" carries the burden of proving it. Similarly, people claiming the existence of a particular god, or gods in general assumes the burden of...

    Why do you believe?

    I grew up in a completely atheistic household and came to G-d myself as a teenager. My belief fluctuates with my experiences, but is based on one particular experience I had when I was about 17.

    Your God

    I am Jew-ish and I also believe G_d has no form, but I think it's really cool that He's described as having hands, arms, a back(side) and all kinds of things humans do. Still, when I think of G_d, I think of something like light that pervades everything, not something with a finite form. When...

    Yet another debate about homosexuality...

    There's also the "it's unnatural" argument that pops up from time to time. Cause, you know, no animals have gay sex ever...

    Gay boy scouts are no long just happy!!

    Yeah, I think leaders will be next. It'll take a while for society to fully internalize that gay men aren't a safety risk, but once it does, we'll have gay scout leaders. Now that they've lifted the ban on gay scouts, it's only a matter of time.

    Is Belief a Choice?

    I pretty much agree with Penumbra. I know that my own belief isn't a choice. If it were, I think I'd choose to believe more consistently than I do. But I do choose, to an extent, how much to observe. That, in turn, influences the strength of my belief. There might be some people who can...

    The temptation of homosexuality

    Well, I personally believe that the laws for sexual morality only apply to Jews, but lots of Christians feel those rules apply to themselves. Since that's what we're talking about in the OP, I've just been giving the run-down on my general thoughts on what the verse means. And I know there are...

    Do You Fear Death?

    ^That's insanely awesome. As for myself, I only fear dying soon! I know I'll have to die eventually, but I'm afraid it'll happen while I've still got tons of stuff I want to do.

    Fellowship with People of Another Religion

    Thanks for the answers, guys! Abu Rashid, may I ask who the "People of the Book" are? I'm staying with a (Christian) friend in a city that's new to me and she and a few of her Christian friends do a bible study every morning. I gotta say, it's interesting to hear Moses's or Isaiah's or...

    Why Is There No Book of Jesus?

    Thanks for the ideas, guys. Zardoz, I'm particularly interested in that book of Jesus's sayings all written down, however speculative it may be. It makes sense that they would later be woven into the gospels. Levite, that is the obvious answer that I, of course, overlooked. I guess I just...

    The temptation of homosexuality

    A life's partner is essential to some people's happy, well-balanced lives, but I know some older, single people who are A-OK without one and some people who married, were terribly unhappy, divorced and now have a blast being single. My great-uncle was one. He died without ever getting married or...
