Stark raving mad if you ask me , how would you rate us , looking at all the wars the pollution , how grown up are we , how sane . Is humanity still a baby shitting in its own nest and believing in fairy tales ? I think for governments to still fall for the scam religion , that means humanity is stil...

In order to see religion as believable , one needs to do the leap of insanity . To go from the real world into mythology ignorance and madness .There is no proof for heaven or god in the real world , so one is asked to leave the real world and leap into insanity . Into a world where fantasy and myth...

, but the rest of us find it incredibly boring , Then why are you posting here? Compared to what I was doing , I'm not , I was on here every day , and enjoying it , I havn't hardly bothered in weeks and if it continues like this , I won't be back , I repeat if their intention is to drive people awa...

But despite your venom, I'm glad you're taking a lickin' and still seem to remain tickin'.[/quote] You guys seem to get something out of it , but the rest of us find it incredibly boring , reading back over the last page there is almost no content , apart from a little in the top post and a wee bit ...

So this thread is now a personal 'psychoanalysis' of SOB and Arising. shame arising..shame. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8rh6qqsmxNs Hello Prill, I see you're still fascinated with cartoons of little girls, at the ripe old age of 50 plus, I wonder what a psychologist would say about such things, ...

Godfree, I don't except that the universe is infinite, that was one of the points you were arguing for. And no, black holes don't make hydrogen, or go bang, they radiate their energy slowly. James ,, I accept that the universe if infinite , also , that the big bang never happened , so therefore , t...

I see the term universe to encompass "everything" , the whole universe , this multiverse , universes within universes ,,??? surely thats just changing the meaning of the word universe , as I see it we have one universe , we can talk about this part or that , but it's all part of the one u...

Let's start the thread with a simple question. Should I believe in your god(s)? Why or why not? What do you mean "god(s)"? The one god idea is relatively recent , for most of our religious past there were many gods , just like India today , gods for this and gods for that , the problem wi...

As I say up-thread: defend yourself better. Not much, I know, but it's the best I can do. The flaw: some folk, lots of folks, can't or won't. The advantage: I will and do... ;) that sounds just like the thinking of a young kid with a gun about to rob a licker store , I have a gun and they don't ,,,...

There is no such thing as an information pyramid in the absolute sense. There is only objective truth and subjective truth. Granted the two are not always presented as mutual opposites but that is superfluous to requirement when referencing them from a purely logical perspective. The purest accepta...

Glad to revive a dormant debate. Just curious though, who is at the top of your information pyramid? Science is usually the source of my information , I am at the top , I decide what is good science and what is bad science ie , I don't buy in to this bbt , I think it's bollocks , I don't accept cur...

the second part of the question should have been clearer, the first part is rhetorical. if someone believes in any god(s) then they should want me to believe, if not then why do they believe in the first place. to clarify the second part, why should I believe in your god(s) over someone else's god(...

what design? and evolution isn't indoctrination, its not teaching a way of life or a moral code of any kind. evolution is the explaination for the biodiversity on our planet. there has been no substainial evidence for creation or design. You're equating evolution to a culture or religion, that's li...

You've given me a buffet of comments here, Auk... and I will get to them as time permits, thank you. But I'd like to ask you a question: "What's the first that comes to mind when you hear the word "god"? Ignorance , stupidity ,arrogance ,nasty dictatorships , ruthless controllers , w...

Godfree, this thread isn't actually about god or religion, it's about whether the experience of what it is like to be conscious is the same in everyone. So for instance, if I'm angry about the same degree as someone else, is it the same experience for us both. I'm trying to understand in what way t...
