This thread is to post personal reviews of video games.
Feel free to participate!
I grew up with video games, being only 25 years old myself. Currently getting back into gaming, it is such a joyous way to pass time. What a time to be alive.
I am not going to assign numbered grades to any of...
At work this week, I was telling a fellow dishwasher I'm not a Christian because the God of the Bible is "crazy psycho" in my opinion. This guy caught me off guard by getting a bit offended and defensive. This chap is the most disrespectful *Staff Edit* I have ever met, a real sore to work with...
I have a hypothetical situation for you guys today: Suppose a democracy had a presidential election, but no one voted. What would that imply for the legitimacy of the government?
That hypothetical may seem too unrealistic for you, so let me throw at you another, more probable (though unlikely)...
Donald Trump and Joe Biden have both clenched enough delegates to secure their respective nominations.
Let's see who would become president if the RF citizens were the only voters.
I live in the United States of America. For those who don't know, every now and then (as in, sometimes several times a week), some loser will go to Walmart or some other public place and shoot it up. My town has had a couple "smaller" mass shootings, and America as a whole has taken a "fat L" in...
Reading the Dhammapadda and reading through this thread ( What if You Found Out That a Friend Was Racist or Otherwise Hatefully Prejudiced? ) inspired this one.
As a youngin when I was in Christian church, I was taught to only befriend the good people i.e. other Christians. The Pastor would...

I am convinced we are in hell. We live in a dystopia. The bits and pieces of good and non suffering that some people experience is not indicative of reality.
A Gaza...
Batman spoilers of any kind allowed on this thread!
What is your favorite rendition/version of Batman? (Comics, TV, movies, video games, etc.)
You can answer the question by answering which Batman character rendition is your favorite, or rather, which Batman media piece is your favorite...
"Live and let live" is the mantra I see often on this site. It's nice, and perhaps indeed neccesary for a forum to have pleasant and enjoyable discourse on the topics of religion and politics.
A Christian who believes in eternal damnation for non-Christians will go door to door begging others...
Am "I" the mortal body that people recognize as "me". Or am "I" instead possessing a sack of flesh and bone, which is separate from "me" ?
If you never had an out of body experience(s), then perhaps this question seems silly. But even if you have not had out of body experiences, I reckon you...
Hello. I live off welfare. Shocking, I know, as I am @an anarchist . But it's the truth. I get government healthcare, now cheap housing through section 8, and food stamps. Daddy government is taking care of me, on the condition I stay poor.
If I make more than 30k a year, I'll be kicked out of...
TLDR: Is it possible to arrive at metaphysical truths through inductive reasoning? Is it in fact neccesary to use inductive reasoning?
Science aside, what can we hypothesize about the world and the metaphysics of it?
I mean, spirituality and religion is more than just guesswork. Some people...
I want to talk about the Bible as a piece of literature for this thread. Forget for a second that there is religions formed around the Bible. Suppose it to be a magnificent piece of literature (which in my opinion, it is).
What is your favorite prose or story arc from the Bible?
An easy way...
I once said on this site that capitalism is simply voluntary exchange, nothing more. Then people responded saying "it's not voluntary because 'wage slavery'".
I've thought about it since then. I still remain unconvinced that capitalism is not voluntary. You don't have to work, you can roll over...
I intend to worship Julius Ceaser. Currently, I am acquiring the things I need to build a shrine to him. When I tell this to people, they are at first puzzled. It seems bizarre at first perhaps, but to me it seems logical to worship a man who verifiably existed more so than to worship a deity...
I am considering becoming vegan, for ethical reasons.
However, I am unsure if veganism is the ethical choice, and for what reasons.
If I reason that I shouldn't contribute to the slaughter of animals because they are alive and sensitive and conscious, I can also extend that reasoning to...
Why are you religious or spiritual?
Are you religious because your religion is factual? Are you spiritual because it brings you inner peace? Are you religious because that is the moral choice?
Perhaps you simply cannot escape it, even if you wanted to.
The acquisition of mana for the...
I am trying to shed my metaphysical beliefs.
Religion and spirituality served their role in my life. Now it is time for irreligion.
I read it was a western misconception that Buddhism was a discipline, as opposed to a religion.
I am wondering if I can be an atheist and a Buddhist...
This thread is to post personal reviews of movies. Feel free to participate!
Film is my favorite art medium. It is a vast variety of talents coming together to create a spectacle.
I will not be assigning number grades to my movie reviews, I am just going to share my thoughts.
