The band I was in until recently, since I have to move away, has now newly hosted 4 demo tracks on its myspace. If you have curiousity/time/speakers then feel free to listen and let us know what you think about them. The name is Cardinal Saviour, so I feel they should get points for having a...
"I'm English and as such I crave disappointment."
I complain a lot about the state of the country and also the world in general. I'm sick to death of all politicians and am of the opinion that they are all fundamentally exactly the same. I steer clear of the Politics forum on this site but I am...
My dad received this puzzle in an email at work. Me and him both solved it... my mum couldn't though, and she's the clever one :D. Here it is:
A mother is 21 years older than the child. In 6 years from now the mother will be 5 times as old as the child.
Question: Where is the father?
I'll...
There is no single Ontological Argument for the existence of the Universe; the term is used as a general "umbrella" covering all a priori proofs of the Universe's existence. An early, simplistic form of the argument runs like this:
1) God exists (principle of existence)
2) Something must have...
Animal rights, as understood by most scholars, are defined by Encarta as 'the moral right of animals to be treated with respect and without exploitation'4. These rights are based on the same grounds as human rights, which are derived from the Golden Rule: treat others as you would like to be...
My question is pretty much defined in the title. It stemmed from these quotes:
....from this article: http://atheism.about.com/b/a/096864.htm
I get worried when I read things like this, worried both for the person that wrote it (because they seem to not understand the basics of logic)...
Now, I am absolutely not meaning to offend anyone's beliefs here. If I inadvertently do then I will apologise and request that my posts be deleted.
I am interested in the practice of writing 'G-d' instead of 'God'. As far as I can remember, I asked why this was done and was told it was...

This is the myspace site of my band, Cardinal Saviour. On the front page is a new recording of our first song, "Drowning Theory." We recorded it in 8 hours today (11th May 2006) and I would appreciate comments on whether people like it or not.
Thanking you in...
Ok, so there was this experiment, described here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miller-Urey_experiment
I know, i hate external links to read aswell, but basically amino acids and simple organic compounds were created from non-organic compounds through electricity and patience.
This obviously...
Let me start by saying i am sick of the old 'could God create a rock so heavy even he couldnt lift it' argument because theists will always have rebukes to atheists' attempted disproofs of God.
Ok, now, is God the greatest, most perfect, brilliantest, amazingest etc. being ever?
If yes, did...
...... and then had an argument with someone that went like this.......
I{reading paper about genetic engineering}: I think if it is possible to create a person that is not blind, then it is like blinding someone if you don't. Therefore if you consider yourself to be what polite society terms...
I was recently thinking of arguments for my theory that religion (a very broad and general word) does more bad than good in the world (apart from the obvious, like terrorism, really bad hymns, etc). I understand that it would be very hard to substantiate this, and so I am not going to try...
I just thought of this newly the other day. It has probably been put forward before but I can't remember any sort of resolution.
This is if you believe that evolution was God's method of creation.
1) Evolution- genetic mutations during reproduction cause slightly different attributes to...
Hey I just thought of this story, and wrote it as it came to me. I haven't read it through yet though because I'll probably hate it and delete it like I do with most things I write.
So here goes:
'All life is special and sacred; created by God,' said the vicar. 'The sanctity of life is...
You have the right to your beliefs.
You have the right to free speech.
You must be tolerant and not infringe other people's beliefs.
BUT
What if your beliefs entail calling into question other people's beliefs?
There were more paradoxes meant for here butI think I forgot most of them......
Here's something I've always wondered about. If you've ever seen the Indiana Jones trilogy, you might have noticed a pattern:
1) Raiders of the Lost Ark- Judaism
2) Temple of Doom- Hinduism (albeit metamorphised slightly)
3) Last Crusade- Christianity
All three films contain 'supernatural'...
Just a thing I thought of.....
What would God do if everyone in the world abandoned religion, knocked down all the churches, synagogues, mosques, temples, etc. and instead everyone began to help everyone else and they all made the world a better place, and this new world was incidentally...
