    Do you agree with what Kevin Roose did?

    I love books like this - Self-Made Man, Nickel and Dimed, etc - always a new perspective. I think I'd read this!

    Is it possible, and should we be considerate?

    I guess all of this is possible. But it requires you to presuppose the existence of a god. And a very devilish one, at that.

    Telling You What You Believe

    Perhaps I could recommend a book... maybe no one will end up reading it but it certainly discusses evolutionary origins of ethics and morality very nicely. There is right and wrong and all humans know it... It didn't come from god though. Michael Shermer: The Science of Good and Evil: Why...

    Do homosexuals subvert things?

    Can you elaborate a little bit on what you mean, please? :)

    HELP, whats a frubal?!?

    After you've been around and made enough posts, you have the ability to "frubal" someone, or to give frubals (see the little scales of justice in the upper right of posts?). They are tokens of appreciation of your post, sentiment, or just of you. :D Hope you get lots!

    Help me out

    This has to be the worst topic I've ever read on this forum. I have an idea who it was who tried to befriend the OP, because there was someone a couple months ago who befriended me when I joined, without me ever having posted anything. I didn't know anything about anyone here, they...

    A dilema

    I can't tell you what to do morally or religiously, but as a wife of 7 years, I would not feel comfortable knowing you were having intimate conversation with a woman in whom you are clearly interested. Not that I don't trust you, but obviously you are tempted (though I'd say not god or devil...

    Language provides a perspective....

    Thought is not dictated by language. If that were the case then babies don't have thoughts until they understand what you're saying. But they do have thoughts, they can even count before they know numbers. (I can eventually provide the original source, but I read about it in Steven Pinker's The...

    Eternal Life

    Eternal life doesn't have to be about the afterlife or god... in fact I read the OP yesterday before anyone had responded, and didn't have time to respond myself.... my impression was it was about "eternal life" not "eternity after death." I would definitely not want to live forever. In the...

    Should God be judged?

    No, the analogy doesn't hold up here. You don't ask an injured child whether he believes in hospitals, and whether hospitals are good, and whether the child has taken hospitals into his heart. You just make the decision and take the child to the &!@$(@# hospital with no question, because you...

    Modesty

    I'm not pretending anything. In general, even though men are able to bare their chests in public all over the world where women are not able, in a professional setting or at school or in a religious setting, everyone has to wear a shirt. Perhaps not where you are; there are very liberal Muslim...

    Should God be judged?

    But everyone dies. You will die. You believe you will be resurrected, that's your business. Regardless, you will die, no matter what you choose. These^^ parental admonitions are necessary to keep a child alive, because a parent cannot do anything for their child once they are dead. We'd never...

    Modesty

    So is this thread supporting using religion as a cover to get other concerns addressed? I don't think Muslims have the market cornered on modesty. They do seem to have a double standard for men and women, though. The modesty/purity seems to depend entirely upon women; as Ayan Hirsi Ali might...

    Prayer service against equal rights

    It's a pious demonstration. She probably thinks they're like Gandhi. For their sake I hope it's got more of a turnout than the teabaggings lol. (STILL get a kick out of the teabagging!) My father-in-law posts crap articles on his facebook from worldnutsdaily about how AWFUL it will be when...

    Maybe I don't want to be a Christian any more

    Sorry for the off-topic, but I'm confused... Fish-Hunter is an alt of Christian Pilgrim? Or ...?

    When I die, what's it all about?

    So... the reason you're sad is because you're full of pity for us? That's not how the thread started out lol. All the philosophy, logic, knowledge of god, and love in the world obviously doesn't help you even get through the day without thinking of your own and your family's death. I...

    Maybe I don't want to be a Christian any more

    Frubals for the beautiful expression of your thoughts, katzpur. P.S. I usually try to take people at their word, that they are what they say they are :P

    When I die, what's it all about?

    Interesting posts, and thanks for sharing. To expand upon what CarlinKnew was saying, it is no surprise whatsoever that the bible might speak to you as a human being. It's because it contains questions and concerns that humans have shared for a long time, and was written by relatively smart...

    Big headache!!!

    Please remember that the Theory of Evolution, which is accepted by all reputable scientists, says nothing at all about the creation of the universe. Evolution describes the process of creating complex creatures out of simpler creatures by reproduction, genetics, mutation, adaptation. No one...

    Should God be judged?

    Yes, it's like holding a gun on you and asking you politely for your wallet or I will blow your brains out. Technically there is a choice. But is there really a choice? What if I held a gun on you and asked you politely to love me and worship me, or else I'll blow your brains out?
