    What would happen if every human being didn't have sexual feelings for other humans ?

    Closer than one might think. The biggest problems with these sorts of wonderful technologies is religious extremists that oppose it for one reason or another. In such a hypothetical of sexual boredom, if there's anything that would kill us all it would be such beliefs and views.

    Eternal hell or annihillation make no sense

    I don't really think that it's a matter of neuroscientists having no use for a soul, more that it's just not an element that would apply within neuroscience. We're not so much arguing here as just discussing the soul and what it is or may be. I think this is an important discussion to have on a...

    Eternal hell or annihillation make no sense

    I do, yes. Elaborated upon here. Some elements are quite finite, some are more persisting, none really considered "eternal" as everything has an end. I would also disagree with your claim that even theists don't believe a soul to be necessary; not only is this demonstrably false, but many...

    Shifting more towards atheism

    No? Being "without" it means not possessing it or holding it as a personal truth. "Theism" is the belief in gods; are you suggesting that atheists still have some taint of belief in gods that can't be washed out or forgotten? It's a preposterous notion. Sounds like a personal problem. Not...

    Attacks On Israel Broaden Beyond Hamas

    And what about the 30,000 that have been ruthlessly bombed, and the 13,000 who now face starvation (or perhaps have already starved) at the hands of Israel's genocide?

    Attacks On Israel Broaden Beyond Hamas

    It got worse with the new budget bill that was passed by the Senate. Israel is getting $3.3 billion from taxpayer dollars. Yay, love that... /s The UNRWA is defunded until March 25, 2025 The Palestinian Authority (the government overseeing the West Bank) is defunded The UN Human Rights Council...

    Shifting more towards atheism

    If we're looking at this linguistically, the a- prefix denotes "without", not "opposition". What you're looking for is anti-theism. Anti theos or "in opposition of gods", rather than A theos or "absence of gods". Adding -ism places this as a belief or philosophy, and from this we clearly get...

    Eternal hell or annihillation make no sense

    So that's three views... And really, that's being generous as Christianity and Islam are mostly derivative of one another and quite similar, with the view of the soul (several aspects) in Judaism is quite different, from what I've gathered. Now, what makes you say that there "is no soul"? Do...

    What would happen if every human being didn't have sexual feelings for other humans ?

    If things remained exactly as they are right now, maybe. But we're talking about hypotheticals here, not the current state of affairs.

    Pagan Music

    Theirs was such an amazing show to see live

    Eternal hell or annihillation make no sense

    This is common ground for us; I don't either. Which religion? Because there are a *lot* of views for what the "soul" or "spirit" of an individual is, depending on the religion or faith. Some religions even believe in *many* different aspects of an individuals soul that makes up the whole; some...

    Eternal hell or annihillation make no sense

    I'll ask it this way; who do you think is "hellbent to get to hell"?

    Eternal hell or annihillation make no sense

    Finite crimes call for finite punishment. A being that would devise such a realm of eternal torment for finite "offenses" is not one worthy of worship. You make it sound as though we have a goal of ending up in your hell, and frankly that's more ridiculous. I know enough to discount the...

    Eternal hell or annihillation make no sense

    Well how you take the word and what the word actually means are not the same; eternal is eternity. Forever. Without end. Infinite. And even for the most wicked, an eternal torment for a finite crime is ridiculous. Do you believe in an eternal torment in Hell?
