Here is a english translation from the original french writing of Donatien Alphonse Francios de Sade. I think it would be interesting to debate the arguments held within the text. Keep in mind though that this was written in the 1780's, so de Sade's understandings of nature are not that of today...
Well we could pull the Hobbes Leviathan out. The USA could threaten to nuke the entire nation of Israel (and palestine) along with all of the big three's Holy sites into dust, if people don't stop fighting and killing each other. Perhaps with check points on how many people get killed each month...
Rather then keeping half of the Black Music thread revolving with people talking about metal I thought it would be better to start another thread on it..... so yea....
BOW TO THE MASTER OF ALL SCANDINAVIAN METAL....
Some of you may have already watched this, but I found it absolutely hilarious and since it deals with Religion and Atheism I thought it would be good to stiumlate some debate and discussiona bout the arguements made in it.
WARNING: This is SOUTH PARK! I would think I wouldn't have to...
Some may have already seen this or be well aware of it, but I'm curious to see what people's opinions are of it.

We constantly have debates on this forum and many of us have rather strong opinions going into them. Do we really develop in our attitudes and help others in the same? Or are we talking to brick walls?
Many of the threads grow rather large rather quickly, to the point where it requires...
People in a few threads have been constantly talking about how Satan is an active force in this world and tempts people, churches and other such things.
This has all reminded me of something written in one of Neil Gaiman's Sandman Comics. Luckily enough I found the quote I was looking for, so...
A band that seem to focus on a lot of Spiritual imagery. Also, the singer Maynard writes a lot of lyrics that are rather open to interpetation, which is a rather beautiful thing because it makes people think rather then just accept things. To start off this thread I'll post some links to things...
I think conflict is created between Science and Religion due to the balance of two principals. These two being Reasoning (questioning) and Faith (accepting) in Truth.
Science presumes that everything is up to question and what we hold as true is simply the result of observing circumstances...

The American Taliban
Now i know this website is a bit biased. It doesn't exactly quote these people well enough to be sure these statements are true and the use of a term like "American Taliban" does seem to be a bit much.

If the rape indeed was rape?
The age of that third child?
Were the two boys...
There were some important issues being discussed in the Victimless Crimes thread, but it becoming focused on "if there is any sort of victim" I feel drifted attention away from the issues themselves. So here I'm asking to view the issues and figure for yourself by weighing the consequences if it...
I searched for an online forum to discuss religious/spiritual matters and felt this was a good place.
I'm a 19 year old music fanatic with an interest in spiritual/religious/mythological and philosophical matters. I'm currrently at college in Philadelphia majoring in Theology.
