    A different kind of conversation

    Me: Hey God. God: Hello, My love. Me: The world is completely out of control! God: I know. It's such an adventure, right? Me: No! It's like being on a runaway train! I need to feel like I am in control of my life. God: You want to be in control? Me: Yes! God: You are living on a...

    Calling all the scientific minds on RF

    I would say I am somewhat credulous (I am a theist after all) but I was somewhat mesmerized by the apparent cognitive dissonance here - this gentleman appears to speak of feats that would be considered achievements of engineering and yet apparently were done eons ago - well, in all fairness, he...

    A (religious) perspective on creation - for theists and atheists - from the RigVeda

    I have been a lurker and a mute witness to the to-and-fro discussions about creation from a religious as well as a non-religious perspective. There are often comments made that "Gods and Religion are man-made" Many of the religions postulate a creator - also elevated to the status of God -...

    One perspective on the creation

    As I have often remarked I like to peruse the writings of Rami Sivan - a Mimamsa (critical reflection) priest - it is branch of Vedanta in Sanatan Dharma - I found this today and thought to post it here for comments and reflection FWIW IMO the guy is deeply pragmatic and extremely knowledgeable...

    Secular Humanism and Samkhya

    I have been reading and trying to understand the (to me, extremely valid) viewpoints of those that profess to follow the path of secular humanism - pardon me if I inadvertently omit some names but @It Aint Necessarily So and @SkepticThinker as well as perhaps @TagliatelliMonster and...

    For Theists - the views of the one and only .....

    My purpose in this thread is to explore the different views of the one and only supreme consciousness - I realize that sometimes our perceptions of this form part of the basis of our differing religious viewpoints. I have been following with interest the views posted by @sojourner and and...

    Star Trek: DS 9 Netflix - S1 E19 A reflection of our times

    I purposefully am posting this in the religious debates category even though it is (nominally) about a TV syndicated show I do not post much anymore on RF but as I was (binge) watching DS9 on Netflix - I came across this episode which I thought was eerily similar to some of the debate that goes...

    Some people posthumously leave their body to science - would you give your data when alive?

    I heard this today on NPR - a study by Google and medical universities trying to further the predictive analytic capabilities of computers and help people in the process. The story mentioned that some people signed on to provide their data just like people from Massachusetts did for the...

    Can atheists reconcile with theists?

    This is a somewhat lighthearted attempt to try and find common ground around the fringes of beliefs of both - Turn on the captions if you cannot understand his accent Fair warning - he does not answer the question in a straightforward way - but that is typical of the way he interacts - his goal...

    Bernie Sanders and Medicare for all

    This is somewhat similar to my other thread about healthcare as a right But came across this write up from a physician and thought to post it here There are concerns that: 1. The trillion dollar health insurance industry will fight for its survival beating Sanders 2. The dems supporting...

    The history of Muslim (Islam) as rulers

    To my Muslim friends on the board - In the US there has been some outcry about Ihan Omar's comments about Israel - whether right or wrong - we can debate that in the political forum - BUT i as a somewhat biased individual wanted to ask this question and see what the answers are: Other than...

    Chiranjeevins

    I have often been fascinated by the concept of the seven Chiranjeevi beings - Hanuman and Parashuram have been the main objects of my study but Kripacharya and Asthwathama are not far behind either - then there are instances of sages like Durvasa who figure in both the great epics. What is...

    Common themes across faiths

    I am not of the Abrahamic faith but have been exposed to both Christianity (missionary school) and Islam (diverse multi cultural city) since childhood - and I think that I know some of the dharmic mythologies as well - there come points of intersection The Noah's ark story is one The return...

    Is Healthcare a "right" and should it have limits on how much is consumed and by whom?

    The debate over the provision of healthcare in the US has raged for years and seems to be ramping up. I have had a very narrow view of those who consume it but I am reminded of an incident from my past: Very unfortunate pregnant young lady with little pre natal care was brought to us in late...
