    The big cosmic joke

    Lets say reality at any point in the past was entirely one being, and lets call this being God. Could it be that this being wondered whether or not he should split himself into many separate selves, and then have some of them seriously wonder whether or not they used to be part of one being? And...

    Is the rejection of others a cornerstone of Abrahamic religions?

    Christianity, Islam, and Judaism are in many ways exclusive religions that have a powerful focus on the rejection of others. In Christianity, it is a common belief that God will ultimately reject many people, which is supported by NT passages, such as the one that says, ""Enter through the...

    Does God take humanity seriously?

    Our planet has seven billion people, many of whom are starving, or caught in civil wars. Others who live in wealthier parts of the world are greedy and corrupt, only caring about themselves. There are diseases that kill, and diseases that cause billions of people suffering and irritation...

    What do you mean when you say the bible is inspired by God?

    Do people mean that God personally inspired people to write what they did in the bible, or do you mean that people were somehow inspired by the idea of God, or inspired by their religion or faith somehow, to write what they did? I come across this frequently nowadays, and I think its often...

    Human credulity

    So many gods, so many credulous people who worshipped them. Upon looking at this list, I know that there are all kinds of lessons that can be learned. What does looking at this list make you think? If you are a believer, does it make you doubt your own beliefs? Middle-East: (169) A...

    Jesus says to gouge out your eyes!

    Anyone here who hasn't looked at someone else lustfully? Didn't think so... According to Jesus, we should have all gouged out our eyes by now. :cover: Is this a good idea? Or is it completely insane? Matthew 5:29 If your right eye causes you to sin, gouge it out and throw it away. It is...

    Was Jesus an alien from another planet?

    :yoda: Thaaaaats riiiight! The story in the NT involves angels, which could just as easily have been aliens from another world, using light technology to make themselves radiant and other technologies to fly around or use cloaking technology to appear invisible or atleast blurry. Hidden...

    Was God ignorant of genetics?

    We now know that genetics plays a crucial role in determining what kind of people we become. Everything from how we look, to our level of intelligence, to our temperament, our risk of depression, and all kinds of other relevant traits, are all to some degree affected by what our genes are...

    Why not let God speak for himself?

    Why speak for him? Why do you think that you actually know anything at all about what he thinks, when you've never heard him say it himself? Personally, I don't give anyone the benefit of the doubt with regards to this. I dismiss every single such claim without a moments hesitation. The only...

    Muslim women can't marry non-muslims. Is this going to last?

    Im just curious as to what the situation regarding this is. I'm very much against this law. I think it is unfair to muslim women. This strikes me as an extreme form of control and oppression. Its not so much a problem in muslim countries where the majority of people are muslim, where there...

    Nationalism

    Is it ethical or unethical to be a nationalist? Are some forms of nationalism ethical, while others are unethical? Would the world be better off without nationalism? Pesonally I think nationalism is for the most part a problem. In my experience I have found that nationalism generally comes in...

    Pride

    Is pride good or bad? Is there a good form of pride and a bad form of pride? Pride is something that in my own life I try to steer clear of. My favorite proverb from the OT is 16:18 'Pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall.'

    Is humanity good or evil?

    How do you think humanity as a whole rates in terms of how good or evil it is? Do you think humanity will be more good than it is now in 50 years, get worse, or stay about the same? What rating would you have given if the question was the same, but the time period was for the year 1900...
