    Is Spacetime Real?

    But despite all the things that spacetime enables us to predict and know, it isn’t real in the same way that an atom is real. There’s nothing you can do to “detect” spacetime directly; you can only detect the individual quanta of matter and energy that exist within your spacetime. We’ve found a...

    Jesus Failed Right?

    Jesus spent 3 years trying to convert people right. Only ended up with twelve disciples. One of whom denied him, Matt. 26:69-75. One who betrayed him, Matt. 26:15. While on the cross he was derided and mocked. Matthew 27:39–44. Jesus said he came for the Jews, Matthew 15:24. Who he was...

    God is Everything?

    My view is that is to know anything about God is like standing in total darkness, throwing a hammer in a random direction hoping to hit a flea, assuming that you did, so at least you know which direction God is in. Without having any evidence that you hit anything. Or perhaps there is a...

    Happy Saint Patrick's Day

    So in Colorado I remember we drank green beer, painted ourselves green and ran naked through the streets. Streaking was a big thing then. What do you do to celebrate St. Patty's day?

    Do Animals Believe in the Supernatural?

    Of course there is no scientific answer to that question, but what do you think? That probably depends on the animal and how it thinks. Campbell told me about three levels of thinking. The first level is perception. Have you ever zoned out on a walk? Your body is still taking in information...

    Are We Born Into Depravity?

    Do you believe we born with a tendency to commit evil? I suppose this is more a Christian position but I imagine there could be other takes on this theme too. If you believe this does this mean any person born without guidance will grow up to be evil?

    Pyrrhonism

    The goal of Pyrrhonism is ataraxia, an untroubled and tranquil condition of soul that results from a suspension of judgement, a mental rest owing to which we neither deny nor affirm anything. Pyrrhonists dispute that the dogmatists – which includes all of Pyrrhonism's rival philosophies – claim...

    Scientology Explained

    This is not an endorsement of Scientology or a recommendation to get involved with Scientology. In fact since my involvement with Scientology was in the early 80's, when L Ron Hubbard was still alive, I have no ideal what the contemporary experience of Scientology would be. I posted this in the...

    Which Religion has Killed the Most...

    In the last 2000 years. Not surprisingly, it's Christianity. Way to end up on top for a peaceful religion. Unfortunately not far behind is Atheism as a Communist ideology. Imagine how many folks are not alive today because of Christianity and Communism. Though perhaps we should thank them...

    Is Atheism Easy?

    I would say no, because most theists seem to think the only way to become an atheist is to reject every belief that exists about God. Whereas either you start off as an atheist and simply never develop any belief or you simply let go of all the beliefs you once held. Neither path is easy with...

    The Brain is Not Dependent on Soul Activity

    I believe consciousness (the brain) is not dependent on soul activity I believe your brain is the real you. Your body is the vehicle that enables your brain to do its work in this world. Just as a driver controls a car through its control mechanisms while sitting in the driver's seat, the brain...

    Is It Reasonable to Believe Gods Don't Exist?

    Millions of people believe a God or Gods exist for whatever reason. Isn't just as reasonable for someone to believe that no Gods exist for whatever personal reasons they happen to have as well? People say and claim lots of things about God as factual, however they go about justifying to...

    Can You Change Your Morals

    Can you change what you feel is right and wrong? For example, if you feel murder is wrong, can you decide to feel that murder is morally good? What about child abuse? I'm not saying morals never change but I don't see that it is a conscious decision. Something outside ourselves has to be the...

    How Many Gods Don't You Believe in?

    I saw some listing that said there were 4000+ that had some followers. Now or at one time. How many of those 4000+ Gods don't you believe in and why don't you believe in them? Having followed a few Gods, any one of them had the same reality of presence as the rest to me at the time. I decided...
