@ecthagain I fucking love listeners like you, friend.

@empty0grace The only obstacles being placed between people and their awakening are the ones people build themselves. You're implying that music can't portray presence, and that it is merely an emotional manipulation. I have to wonder how you came to this conclusion, and why you think the spoke...

@retread01 The technique can be practiced without believing anything spooky or pseudoscientific (as can vipassana, as can the practice of stilling the mind in general), but it seems that some of the representatives of transcendental meditation feel they can make claims about objective reality bas...

You think THAT's the bad news?? There are also beetles, flowers, bacteria, warblers, jellyfish, lightning bugs, bats, peacocks, cockroaches, willow trees, baboons, and chihuahuas in our extended family tree. Want to know something that's NOT in our family tree? Supernatural human God/hybrids brou...

@stevenryhudi I knew you were being positive. Voice inflections/delivery are difficult to bring across in written language, particularly when you don't know who you're talking to. Cheers, mate :)

This is essentially an invitation for people to disregard whatever ability they have to study the evidence for/against global warming, and to assume that government intervention with regards to energy policy is an absolute moral necessity. If we followed this video to its "logical" conclusion, w...

Some of the nonsense I'm reading here is truly incredible. Atheism is NOT a belief system. It's not even a word that non-believers should use, as it is simply defining yourself against the beliefs of three cults from The Middle East. Does anyone really think that if humanity survives another 2,00...

@soham087 Of course it won't happen overnight. It requires a great deal of work to convince those in power that their "subjects" should be free to non-violently express themselves in whatever way they see fit. Luckily, in America, most of that work was done before I was born. We still have a ways...

@japonizieify The fact that Hitchens seems to play devil's advocate so much almost definitely comes from his admiration of the dialectic style of Socrates. Even when I disagree with him, he always makes me think.

@sushirollsound I suppose if you define a "real man" as someone who can survive in the wild, fix a car, and win a fight as opposed to someone who is brave enough to spend his life defending the freedom of himself and others at the risk of himself and those he loves, then yes...Hitchens is not a r...

@ChristJesusReigns I'm sure you're familiar with The Bible, and so you must know there are passages which assure you that yes, you will be mocked. I will not go that far here. I will simply point out that you are willing to play semantic word games in order to defend the right of a free-acting e...

Awesome as always!

@timjdong haha yeah and all those silly books he wrote about George Orwell, Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Paine, Mother Teresa, Henry Kissinger, and the Clintons. And also that stupid polemic against religion. Letters To A Young Contrarian?? YAWN! Plus he's a horrible orator. Never has anything ori...

@caelarent It's difficult to avoid the problem of evil when discussing an entity that murders children, tortures people in Hell, advocates sexual slavery and genocide, demands obedience to a set of laws which is, by its nature, impossible to follow, and who has shown the ability to change its/his...

@kornbelt If you need an objective scientific reason to value others, I presume you are either a psychopath or some kind of mutant demon fish donkey. Take responsibility for yourself, and make use of the love you have for your fellow creatures. It's not that difficult.

@Nerd042 I love his eyes there. You can tell he's a person who LOVES his connection with his fellow creatures.

@finalmattasy What do you mean when you say "the denial of certain realities" ??? What certain realities are you talking about? Also, the postmodern mindset is not the same as the absurd. Absurd means "lacking in inherent meaning." Postmodernism is more like "lacking in apparent meaning."

Thank you for including the ENTIRE debate with the question period :D

@davlor86 Beethoven completely changed the landscape of music. If he were born today, he'd create something we haven't thought of yet, and it'd be awesome :)

@totallytamtampamela You are so good at that :D

@graemealee Israeli archaeologists discovered recently that the enslavement/exodus from Egypt was a COMPLETE fabrication. As it happens, Jehovah is a complete fabrication too. I think I'm seeing a pattern here....

@caseybcrocker I played classical for 12 years, and now I'm doing electronic dance music hahaha. As far as jazz goes, Miles Davis is my homeboy. What I discovered (as far as religiously) is that people will seek peace of mind, and that almost EVERYONE (including atheists) thinks they need to g...

@JesusGaveMeNewSoul I agree that these things detract from love, and I know what you mean when you talk about the constant searching, but there are many ways to take power over our desires, and almost none of these involve one having to believe in the divinity of one particular man from Nazareth...
