    Morality is not subjective

    I recently came to the conclusion after some reading and thinking that the idea of morality being subjective is absurd. When I say morality is objective I mean that moral goodness exists independent of what people do or think. Any non-theists here who agree with me?

    Do you believe in reincarnation?

    When I say 'believe' here I don't mean it in a negative way, like accepting with blind faith. I used to believe in reincarnation because it made sense to me on an intellectual level. Lately I have a very hard time believing that it's possible, even though there's a part of me that still feels...

    The refugee debate annoys me

    I'm annoyed at Americans on both sides of the "should we keep allowing refugees in in light of the paris attacks" debate. Most people in America are in favor of toppling Assad and supporting the "moderate rebels". The problem is that those "moderate rebels" barely exist, and the help we give to...

    Assume there is a being called God, and it is an omnipotent and omniscient crow wearing a wizard hat who lives on Jupiter. Assume also that everybody on Earth understands that this being exists with the exception of my family; I was raised to believe that the being called God is actually a giant...

    What is the Jewish State?

    What does it mean that Israel is the Jewish State? Is it the Jewish State because of the ethnicity of its people or does it have to do more with values? If there is no Jewish majority is it still the Jewish State?

    What is True? Does A = A?

    This is the question I had to ask in response to a Protestant guy who was telling people they're not saved over a loudspeaker. He had asked me how I ever know what's true and what's not. He asked me if know for sure that I learned something while I was in College. In the end I was forced to...

    In your opinion

    In your opinion what are the implications if God exists, and what are the implications if God does not exist? I think an argument between two people over the existence (or non-existence) of God is kind of pointless if the questions above aren't answered. If you're not sure what I mean just say...

    Know what I've noticed?

    I was off RF for a while, but still - it wasn't too long ago that there were several posts made that challenged atheist views. There were several of them in a short period of time, so it was a little bit unusual. In response certain members made posts like "Why is everybody making posts...

    God vs god AND... polytheism

    God vs. god - I'm wondering of others see the difference. Poseidon is a god. Allah is the God. God is the cause of all things, the ground of existence, and according to some is all knowing and all powerful. A god is a high being with certain kinds of powers. I always find it annoying when...

    When people compare Islam with Christianity...

    I've been noticing that the same point is being raised by christian or christian-leaning westerners again and again. "Why is Islam an inferior religion? WELL, because Christianity teaches that we should all love our neighbors but ISLAM doesn't." Maybe in some parallel universe this argument...

    Action in Taoism

    I'm reading the Tao Te Ching and I noticed what looks to my unlearned mind like a contradiction. In verse (is that what we call them, verses?) 63 says "Taking things lightly results in great difficulty. Because the wise always confront difficulties, they never experience them." In the next...

    Gospel of Thomas

    Primary Sources - Gospel Of Thomas | From Jesus To Christ | FRONTLINE | PBS What do we think here? Could it be that the Gospel of Thomas is a long lost collection of Jesus' private teachings? Or is it a kind of fake that misrepresents his teachings? I'm just wondering what you all think about it.

    A question about Islam

    Hi everybody, I have a quick question about prophets in Islam. Why is the prophet Muhammed - peace be upon him - considered Islam's very last prophet? I remember hearing an Islamic scholar talking about past prophets. He said that Islam did not begin 1500 years ago, rather it is as old as the...
