    Poll: “Science has proven” and “God says”

    NOTE: My reason for posting this in a debate forum is not to debate about it, myself. It’s to allow as much freedom as possible for people to say what they think. Sometimes people think that something Is true because they think it has been proven scientifically. Sometimes people think that...

    “God” as part of some analogies, and as some characters in some stories

    This time, for a change, I really am looking for a debate, only I’m not sure there will be anything to debate about, because I’m just describing what I do, and not making any truth claims about it. I make analogies between the universe with us in it, and human creations, like works of the arts...

    Poll for people who believe in the God of Abraham

    NOTE: My reason for posting this in a debate forum is not to debate about it myself. It’s to allow as much freedom as possible for people to say what they think. I’ve been discussing with someone what difference it would make to followers of Abrahamic religions, if they could be convinced that...

    Poll for people who sometimes argue or protest against some God beliefs (“God” with a capital “G”)

    (edited to add the following) NOTE: My reason for posting this in a debate forum is not to debate about it myself. It’s to allow as much freedom as possible for people to say what they think. I made a mistake in writing the poll question. Rather than “Are you saying that God does not exist?” it...

    Is the word “God” meaningless, and is that a reason for anyone not to follow any Abrahamic religion?

    NOTE: My reason for posting this in a debate forum is not to debate about it, myself. It’s to allow as much freedom as possible for people to say what they think. This is about the word “God,” with a capital “G,” in a Jewish, Christian or Muslim context. I can’t see any way for it to have any...

    What comes to your mind or what’s in your mind, when you think or say “God”?

    NOTE: This thread is not in a debate forum. What comes to your mind or what’s in your mind, when you think or say “God,” “Allah,” “Jevovah,” or whatever you think might be equivalent to that?

    What was happening in the thread, that might be why it was moved to debate?

    (edited to add the following) This is not to complain about threads being moved. (end edit) I’m trying to understand better what people can do in debate forums, that they can’t do outside of them. Have you ever seen a thread where you were posting moved to a debate forum? If so, can you...

    Atheism is not anti-theism. Anti-theism is not atheism.

    Many times I’ve seen people saying “atheists” when they’re discussing people arguing and protesting against God beliefs. Many people who argue and protest against God beliefs are not atheists, and many atheists never argue or protest against God beliefs. I think that part of what helps...

    How did you stop or start believing in God?

    NOTE: This thread is not in a debate forum. This is a spinoff from Diversity of ideas and interests of atheists in discussions about religious beliefs. “God” can be any God with a capital “G” that you ever stopped or started believing in, or whatever you think might be equivalent to one, under...

    Does debating ever actually happen in these forums?

    From “Forum News and Announcements: The Key Difference Between Debate Threads/Forums and Discussion Threads/Forums I can’t think of any examples of where I’ve seen anyone in these forums actually trying to prove, in a logical, rational way, that their position is true, or that some other...

    Does it matter to you what happens to other people in the forums?

    No one will see your vote. This is a serious question, triggered by a recent discussion. I’m curious now, how much and in what ways people care about what happens to other people how other people’s lives are affected by what happens in the forums. This might help explain some mysteries for me...

    Health value of feelings

    NOTE: This thread is not in a debate forum. It might raise issues that will need to be debated in some other forum, but I”ll just be posting some ideas without trying to prove them, and hoping for others to post theirs. (edited to add the following) I won’t object to people posting ideas about...

    Motivations, grounds, ideas and inspiration for morality without God

    NOTE: This thread is not in a debate forum. (edited to add the following) For whatever it might be worth to anyone, it would be contrary to my purposes in this thread to discuss the ideas interests, character, capacity, motives or intentions of people who believe in God. (end edit) This is a...

    Diversity of ideas and interests of atheists in discussions about religious beliefs

    NOTE: This thread is not in a debate forum. I’m posting this in response to what looks to me like people stereotyping atheists. I’ll post some thoughts of my own about diversity in atheism. I’m hoping for others to do the same. Note: This post has been edited for clarification and to correct a...

    Good reasons for denouncing some beliefs

    (efited for clarification) Sometimes people seem to think that the only possible reason anyone could have for denouncing some beliefs is because they disagree with them. I think that there can be good reasons sometimes for denouncing some beliefs. I’m posting some examples of that. (end edit)...

    Is anyone else here practicing a religion without beliefs?

    I didn’t know, when I came to these forums, how much the discussions would be about beliefs. I wasn’t thinking of religion as being about beliefs, because mine is not about beliefs at all. I’m wondering now if I’m the only one in these forums practicing a religion without beliefs. If there are...
