    Must Christians Be Happy All The Time?

    Of course they have to be happy they have Jesus. And a lot of other imaginary stuff. THis is from my perspective as an atheist of course. Just the idea of having something that does not exist can make you happy. Things such as eternal life and eternal hell for all those disagree with you. The...

    How can science objectively consider creation?

    Actually there are a lot of stars out there and planets for life to develop on them. More stars than there are grains of sand. The problem with the universe is that all numbers are Astronomical. So if the chance of life occuring on an earth like planet is 1 in a billion and there are a billion...

    Have you ever seen people die slowly of brain disease. I have. Believe me that brain of yours is you when it goes so do you.

    How Do You Know Who God Is and What He Wants?

    I suggest you widen your reading beyond monotheistic religions and look at things like Buddhism and atheism. I think my couple of years as a buddhist were perhaps the most enlightening I've ever had. Unfortunately I just don't believe in the Buddhist universe. I completely agree that you...

    What Is the Self?

    Self is illusionary and does not exist. However it does exist because we think it exists. ALSO Self is a compilation of ideas that we use to form an identity. This identity controls how we respond to experiences such as questions on this forum. I think identity is the overriding influence...

    Scientific Evidence That Islam is the true religion

    Try investigating a non muslim source. I think you might find the Muslim sources have a vested interest. Some stuff was written down in his life time but it was not placed in one definative text. There were lots of copies and variations.

    Scientific Evidence That Islam is the true religion

    bless you. Mohammed didn't have to learn them because he didn't write the Koran. Other learned people did. In fact there were a large number of ideas and beliefs about Islam that had to be written down because they were causing great rifts in the arab world. This was 2 generations after the...

    Scientific Evidence That Islam is the true religion

    Aristophanes determined the earth was round and attempted a measurement for its diameter. Pre christian and pre muslim.

    Scientific Evidence That Islam is the true religion

    There are a lot of people who think that the koran was not formed from Mohamads teachings and so could not possibly be the word of god. The teachings were apparently accumalated into written form some 2 generations after his death. If this was true then scientific points of evidence in the Koran...

    Scientific Evidence That Islam is the true religion

    The muslims may have discovered calculus independantly as this does happen in history but it certainly was not passed on to the Europeans. Isaac Newton and Christian Huygens created calculus independantly at roughly the same time. I think there is also some evidence that Archimedes had theories...

    The Afterlife

    Maybe you should go to the highlands of Papua New Guinea where people still have each other for lunch and tell them about it and how about people who believe that they are doing the right thing by killing unbelievers. People who kill others often think they are doing the correct thing. After all...

    The paranormal!

    Well my mother was very psychic. So much so that it was normal for her to see things and not tell people about them. She wasn't at all interested in the paranormal but had the most amazing collection of personal Ghost encounters. When she died of a dibilitating illness that made her bed ridden...

    The Afterlife

    Really Nobody told me that. Wouldn't it have been fairer if they'd told me before my earthly existance. You can't really pass a test unless youv'e given the subject matter. It seems a little unfair. Maybe if I join a faith that tells me what the test is going to be I might pass. Also...

    Atheists - What is the meaning of life?

    I have philosophical ideas that create personal meaning and purpose for my own life. I think its a very wonderful thing that we are created from the universe. That somehow we are concious and have emotions (albeit for our own and survival of species) like love and hate. It blows my mind to...

    Atheists - What is the meaning of life?

    Would purpose be a better word than meaning. What is the purpose of life. I always think of meaning as meaning purpose in this question. There is no purpose/meaning for our existance as a species. Evolution tells us that we are a moderately successful peice of replicating dna. The history of the...

    Jesus Was Muhammad?

    I agree. Buddha also taught Karma which is seen as a natural law of morality. I suppose god is pretty much the same in this case with his heaven and hell. I always saw karma as related to your own psychological development. If you were enlightened and killed someone you wouldn't suffer bad...

    Jesus Was Muhammad?

    Ok the main difference I see between Buddha and Jesus (apart from the fact Buddha definately existed :D) is that the Buddha had a well thought out philosophy about suffering and how to remove it or reach enlightenment. Christianity doesn't but has the same sort of aim which is heaven not...

    Jesus Was Muhammad?

    Someone who kills, rapes and uses fear to control people would be an example of a sociopath. There are a number of examples littered through out the Koran of Mohammad murdering and raping. Rape of non-believers and slaves. Koran 4:24 "And all married women are forbidden unto you EXCEPT...
