    The Potential for Solar Activity in 2025.

    @Polymath257 or any other science buffs: As most of you probably know, we are at risk of experiencing another Carrington Event in 2025. This has the potential to knock out the power grid for weeks... perhaps even months. This would be catastrophic, as most of us rely on electric power for our...

    Catholics: What is the Difference Between a Mortal and Venial Sin?

    Like, I tried Googling it, but the answers were ALL over the place. I'm just curious if there is some exhaustive "Church approved" list of acts that are deemed "mortal sins" because I can't seem to find one. Or is it just an ambiguous distinction? (As in "serious immoral/irreligious acts" are...

    Hindus, Buddhists, and Jains (Catholics and others): What are your Favorite/Most Meaningful Mantras or Chants?

    Hi guys. As many of you know, I'm a non believer. But I LOVE to chant Sanskrit mantras! I suppose it's a holdover from years ago when I was dabbling in Hinduism. I also used to love Gregorian chants when I was a young Catholic lad. Anyway, I thought I'd create a thread where folks could post...

    Is Self Love Good?

    Is it something we should seek out at all? Is too much of it a bad thing? Is some amount good? (or even necessary?) If so, then how much should we have? And how much is too much? And how do you figure that out?

    The Popular State of Pantheism Worldwide.

    [All information cited from THIS LINK.] According to a 2016 survey, Only about 7,700 people in the world identify as pantheists. That's miniscule. I know the poll is a little dated, but I doubt much has changed since it was taken. What's your opinion on these numbers? Would you like to see...

    Is it possible that Christianity is true, yet the Bible contains errors?

    I'm sure this has been asked before. But not since I joined. I'm mainly concerned with Biblical authority and/or inerrancy. What's the verdict so far as you can tell? Is Christianity true because the Bible says so? Or does the Bible say so because it describes the truth of Christianity?

    I'm an Idiot... by vulcanlogician

    I'm an Idiot Every bridge I crossed, I burned. Every pointless lesson out there I learned. Every important lesson I forgot. And now I got less and I got not. I'm an idiot. I can't think right. I can't feel right. I don't know right. And I don't soul right. I read books like up and down. But I...

    Jews and Muslims: Was Jesus a Prophet?

    I ask as a completely unbiased party. I'm an atheist. This could sometimes be perceived as a loaded question. But it's not this time, I swear. I'm curious how Jesus fits into your basic religious schema. Judaism has a long procession of prophets, and (if you think that's true) it's possible for...

    Christians: How do you explain this feature of Jesus' teaching?

    According to Matthew 5:17, Jesus says "Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled." Ok. Got it. The...

    Computer Problem: My Spellcheck Suddenly Sucks.

    IDK what happened. My spellcheck suddenly doesn't recognize words like "fruitive" and "Spinozist" (which ARE indeed actual words). I know that it didn't used to be this way. I've had extended conversations with people and have used the word "Spinozist" and my spellcheck never marked it. Now all...

    A Fair and Charitable Criticism of William Lane Craig

    Anyone have any thoughts on this? I'd like to hear from Craig's supporters as well as his opponents.

    Theists & Atheists: What's an Argument that you Dislike from your own Camp? (And why?)

    Let me explain: I am an atheist. And I (obviously) find a great many arguments against God's existence to be compelling. But there is one that I don't: "The problem of evil." It's just that (in my estimation) even IF an omnibenevolent God existed, there could be a multitude of good reasons he...

    Is it Possible the God actually has FOUR parts?

    "My God has three parts." or "My God consists of three persons." are both arguments people have thought worthwhile to defend in threads recently. But I have a question about these claims: Is it possible that God actually consists of four or more parts/persons? (But these extra persons do not...

    Objective Morality Without God

    Hi folks. The idea of objective morality is something I've given serious scrutiny since I began studying philosophy. One key item I think it's good to settle before proceeding into the thick of metaethics is what role God or (insert religious entity here) has to do with whether morality is...

    Theists: Are there good reasons not to believe?

    Sure, you think God exists. But do you see anything of merit in the arguments that he doesn't exist?

    Hindus: How Literally do you take your Religious Beliefs?

    Just speak for yourself. I'm not trying to understand Hinduism. I'm curious about Hindus. (And what they think.) I understand it's a pretty vague question, too. Clarify it however you want. I just wanna hear your take on things.

    Hello. I'm vulcan

    I'm an atheist who is fascinated by religion. This place seems really neat. So I'm dropping in to say hello and see what you guys are all about. I also have a secondary mission: to find polymath, a member of a recently-closed forum. I want to let him know that those of us from AF.org are...
