    Is the afterlife accessible through natural means?

    Assuming that there is an afterlife, a heaven and a hell, is it possible to get there if we were sufficiently advanced? Could we build a rocket, go through a portal and end up in heaven? What would the implications be if we could move between life and the afterlife in this way? If not, where...

    Where atheism goes wrong...

    I wish to plagiarize a quotation and alter it a bit to explain where I think atheistic arguments fall short. I don't mean to characterise the beliefs of atheists and if any atheist wishes to advance an argument rebutting this quotation then I would be happy to see it. This quotation is merely my...

    People we can't understand

    We've all heard it and probably used it more than a few times in our lives. When we encounter a way of thinking that is so strange, so alien from our own we instinctively declare "I can't understand this person/these people". However, I've begun to notice that more and more people are using...

    The Problem of Induction

    Despite the fact that induction happens all the time in the minds of creatures far less intelligent than human beings and constantly in your mind from birth to death, the word "induction" is not one with which most people are familiar. Thankfully it is a simple concept to explain so you...

    Can faith justify belief in anything?

    If beliefs motivated solely by faith are justified then is there any belief that could not be justified in this way? If not, how should we choose which beliefs to have faith in?

    How to change a person's mind

    "Philosopher's love rational argument. It seems as if the ideal argument for most philosophers is: You give your audience the premises and then you give them the inferences and the conclusion and if they don't accept the conclusion THEY DIE!!! Their heads explode! The idea is to have an argument...

    Stalin acted in the name of an atheistic ideal.

    "Stalin acted in the name of an atheistic ideal." This comment was made elsewhere on the forums. Which particular atheistic ideal did Stalin act under? Is there a list of atheistic ideals? Is there a comparable list of theistic ideals? What ideals are on these lists?

    A.I. rights?

    Is it possible to make an A.I. that would be deserving of some or all of the rights currently afforded to humans? If so which ones and what specific quality does the A.I. need to have to make it deserving of these rights?

    Suggest some hip hop/rap groups for me!

    I'm trying to get into rap but I'm not really into much of the gangster stuff. I really like Eminem, Fort Minor and Atmosphere. I also really like the rapped vocals of Faithless. Are there any other groups that sound like these groups? I really don't like groups like 50 cent, Dizzie Rascal...

    Which part of the God Delusion did you find most offensive?

    I was watching an interview with Richard Dawkins the other day and heard him make the claim that if a theist read his book, they would not find it offensive. However, my experience has been the complete opposite because I have met many, many theists who have read his book and found it offensive...

    RF Poll: Groups

    Heya guys and gals of RF, This is just a quick unofficial poll I'm conducting on what everybody thinks about the groups feature on RF. I'd be very interested to hear your views. What do you think about the groups that RF has? Do you use them? Do you think they are pointless? Did you even know...

    Proselytism and Atheism

    I believe that the reason why there is conflict between religions is because religions tend to be proselytising. Some Christians are not just happy being Christian, they want you to be a Christian too. Of course that means trouble if you happen to be a Muslim and would quite like for them to...

    Frubals

    Frubals! It would be impossible to list all the many ways in which Religious Forums is unique, but one of them is those elusive things called frubals! Have you ever hear the phrase 'instant karma'? Frubals (sometimes known as 'reputation') are are a very close equivalent. Let's say, for...

    Why do people worry about money...

    ...when they are still buying expensive food products that they do not need to live healthily? Most people eat meat. My friend who eats meat with every meal spends about £2 for each meal she eats. If you go veggie then you spend about 50p a meal and also get more of the nutrients that you need...

    Scepticism 2.0

    The Argument 1) In order to know P, I must also know that I am not being deceived about P. 2) I cannot know I am not being deceived about P because it is as likely that I am being deceived about P as that I am not being deceived about P. 3) P is as likely to be true as it is false. If this...
