We can choose to believe lots of things. For instance you choose to believe that a corrupt dictatorship is the natural result of not believing in magic beings. You choose to believe that Christianity and your alleged Jesus had nothing to do with crusading criminals, the Spanish Inquisition, witch...

The question(s) presuppose a scope for answers. It assumes there was a cause and implies there was a purpose/reason. As material beings who are completely subject to the laws of space, time, matter and energy it is difficult, if not impossible, for us to understand an environment which may have l...

I over watered a fern once. It died. I had another fern that didn't get enough sunlight. Also dead. But after 100+ days under presumably deep water, the herbivores of the arc got out and managed to find food. It's a miracle!

Then I must be completely stupid, because I if someone tells me there is an elephant or dot on my nose I may pretend there are means to discover the truth, or so I yack. Either that, or I've bothered to learn how science and empirical investigation work. But if I chose, I could also ...

The reason this commandment exists is because early Israelites were polytheists. YHWH was only one of their gods. Later Israelites who focused their worship on YHWH (yahwehists) and were the custodians of the Torah made this the first commandment. Later still, and more editing, the other gods ...

Draw a circle of my knowledge? Could you first draw me a circle of your knowledge of god? Everybody's knowledge of god? And circles for all the knowledge of each deity?

In order to draw my circle, I will need to intersect many of these other circles... and a whole lot more.

I needn't know...

The rationality and compassion of your arguments perfectly demonstrates the inequity of prop 8. So, thank you.

Great sound. "Fall Down" is a great song and they bring a lot to it. I was sorry to hear about Ron.

@g4macdad

Do you really not know how to test for consciousness or are you implying consciousness is substantial rather than phenomenon? Wow

I don't feel foolish but perhaps I'm just a victim of the Dunning–Kruger effect . The only reason to hate the woo of charlatans is that it gives the gulli...

Does Fox News create impassioned hysteria or just attract it?

@MormonsLoveFamilies

I am unable to admire the ability to confidently believe things that are demonstrably untrue. I still love you. There is no evidence of a god but there's plenty of evidence contradicting its alleged love. It takes little imagination to conceive a god. But it takes a lot...

"Holy crap!" (kind of redundant)

Nice Poe. But is she implying that George Lucas wrote the bible?

Good job on totally missing the point.

Prove the Earth, ketchup and blood don't exist. We can't for two reasons: (1) We can prove they DO exist and (2) That which does not mandate observation cannot be proved to not exist.

Example: create a fictitious object, entity or phenomenon. Without in...

Which god? If you're talking about a deist or pantheist god, such an entity probably could not be disproved by human effort or observation

But if you are talking about the abrahamic god, then all we have to do is identify the attributes and supposed deeds of such an entity and determine if they...

Most assuredly I say unto you: There's no god. You make a good point though.
