    Is anyone interested in J S Spong books?

    I am keen to start reading some John Shelby Spong, and the common recommendation is to start with "Why Christianity must change or die". It is a rather dramatic title I suppose, but the threat of Christianity dying does not really worry me as much as the idea that Christianity could survive in...

    Critical Thinking, Logic, Reason & Empathy. :-)

    I am a 63-year-old agnostic theist who is in the process of deconstructing from Christianity. I wish Critical Thinking, Logic, Reason & Empathy (without dogma & archaic ritual) would replace religion on the planet Earth! The new .org could be named: CREL.org. :) - Critical Thinking - Reason...

    Examining the evidence there is of God

    This OP is for All people of all Faiths that believe in God. What evidence do you have of God? What logic and reasons have you used in determining the proofs and truths you subsequently embraced from the examination of that evidence? The purpose of this OP needs to be embraced if you are to...

    Are Skepticism “lonely defenders of science and reason”?

    Are Skepticism “lonely defenders of science and reason”? Or, are they “self-appointed vigilantes”? How does one visualize the above, please? Regards

    Why should someone believe?

    I am an atheist. I don't believe in a god. I never really have, since I grew up in a nation where religion has very little power and my family never encouraged any sort of religion in my upbringing. I haven't had a real conversation about beliefs with religious people before and I'd like to...

    Who are the wisest members?

    I'm not talking about 'Notable members'. This only means that they've posted a lot over a long period. It doesn't necessarily mean that they're knowledgeable, let alone wise. I want to know who can perfectly reason that their belief is singularly true. Please contact me if you're serious...

    Foolish duplicity detected:

    It's my understanding that theists paint atheists as being the fools, and there are certainly textual passages that label every non-believer as such. Apart from belief versus non-belief I think the major separation issue is the valuing of reason, and herein lies a problem someone can perhaps...

    Sentience

    Sentience is defined as the capacity to feel, perceive, and experience subjectively. Decartes once said, "I think, therefore I am." Sentience, as defined, is exclusive of thought (reason). So by that logic, one can be without the ability to reason, rendering Descartes' quote incorrect. In...

    The Limitations of Reason

    Argument should be based on reason, evidence and logic, and change in ones world view should be based on this, right? No, in reality one's presuppositions are hold sway in arguments, and not reason, evidence and logic. The following article from the New Yorker is an interesting take on the...

    The chances of being right when it comes to religion.

    Lets pretend all religions are equally possibly correct. If one goes by nothing but the numbers the chance of you being correct are 1 in 19 if you count the large religions of the world . From there if you add in religious sects and dead religions the chance goes down even lower. So how do you...

    It seems to me that some Christians on here do not understand Atheists

    It seems to me that some Christians, being submerged in a social group that is all about Jesus, assume that Atheists don't believe as they do because one of the following: 1. They are bad people who want to sin and so screw god and his rules. 2. Had something bad happen to them or a loved one...

    If You Don't Believe In A God, What Are Your Reasons For Living?

    I've been curious because many people have their own interpretations as to what the meaning of life is. Some even say "The meaning of life is what you want it to mean." I believe that we should all try to make the world a better place one word at a time. I think that pretty much every little...
