    Losing their religion

    I imagine you live in a place you won't be beheaded or stoned to death for your displayed opinions. But if you were, you would not likely have exposure to opposing or contrary viewpoints. And certainly no forum in which to expouse them. How many women in burkas repressed by Islam do you converse...

    Why Are Christian Churches Losing Men?

    Islam has no problem recruiting men. Christians didn't either when Christianity favored subjugation of women. I think attraction to any faith is the result of indoctrination, social benefit and influence or power. Internal fulfillment. Wonder what percentage of single men are actively involved...

    What inspired homophobia?

    Maybe there is a biological root underlying racism, domestic abuse, addiction, left handedness, intelligence, and so on and so on.... And if there is a biological reason underlying what criminals do, metal illness can certainly be influenced by genes.... So what? Then what? Does something change?

    What inspired homophobia?

    "There you have it. Any condition or act which might put a tribe at risk, or lower its chances of survival was made sinful. Most laws were all about avoiding sickness and increasing strength. The shellfish-ban is a typical example." So...uh....animal sacrifice did not strengthen the tribe. The...

    Has the influence of Atheism (Agnosticism/Skepticism) improved civilization?

    Morality, good and bad....they are fluid social constructs. Not a single moral concept has been timeless and consistent from one side of the world to the other.

    What inspired homophobia?

    Debating homosexual marriage is as futile as trying to overturn Roe v. Wade or Prohibition. Gay marriage will happen and soon. Marijuana will be largely legal in the US soon. Healthcare will be socialized here soon. We will not deport the illegal aliens that come from Mexico. We won't secure our...

    Has the influence of Atheism (Agnosticism/Skepticism) improved civilization?

Belief in gods and heavens and supernatural things have been around a long, long time. They are ever changing contingent on our...
