    The I'm proud to be straight thread

    I think just going around declaring your straightness causes some people to raise an eyebrow. Either you are a bigot or are denying something others see in you :)

    Christianity without the Old Testament?

    Without original sin in OT, what would Jesus be saving people from?

    What was last movie you watched?

    Elysium - What a piece of garbage. I dislike movies where all the world's problems can be solved with the click of a button.

    The I'm proud to be straight thread

    Pride is the opposite of shame. So when people try to shame you for your preference you counter with pride. It is better than calling the ones that are trying to shame "jerks"

    The I'm proud to be straight thread

    What is your pride based on? Is it something you had to work long and hard to achieve or is it just the way you are. I have brown hair for instance, but I'm not proud of it. Now if I was bald and sprouted some hair, yes, I might be proud of that achievement.

    Why is death so significant in most religions?

    The problem with this kind of thinking is that it makes one trivialize death in the hope of a better life after death. We should work to make THIS life better, for everyone.

    Why is death so significant in most religions?

    I don't think there is a "meant" in life. There is a "because", the details of which we are learning.

    What kind of funeral do you want?

    Agreed, don't want to be a burden in death as I do not want to be a burden in life.

    Why is death so significant in most religions?

    Because religions, having claimed explanation for life then have to justify death.

    Poll: Do you think we are born with an immortal soul?

    So are you saying the soul is basically consciousness? As for writing down ideas, I think my post dream ideas are way more wild than any that I've had while a little drunk. The point I was making with drinking is that some people become totally different in contrast to their normal selves...

    Poll: Do you think we are born with an immortal soul?

    Back when I considered myself a Christian, I used to believe I had a soul. But as my concept of reality changed I saw that view as wishful thinking based on a fantasy explanation of reality. I have no recollection of my existence before birth (actually I have memories from about 2) and I do not...

    Can God print money?

    Well if god exists outside of time and space, which way is up?

    Could We Create a Human? What makes a Human?

    Life is biochemistry. If you can make a mechanical heart, why not a mechanical womb. So if you could alter the process of creating a human you should also be able to alter the end product. You should be able to create a human identical to what we consider a human now or something slightly or...

    Boys in the Girls shower room?

    With the advent of the internet, it is not too difficult to see a fully nude male or female. Seeing others in the nude is a none issue for kids and a non novelty for many adults. The problem is really an artificially created one. By making something forbidden or evil makes the desire of looking...
