The problem here is that people will place the credit into the domain of an idea. Ideas do nothing. I had an idea to connect with a forum and discuss things, but the idea did not follow through, rather a living being (me) inspired by the idea did the work. That is like saying Ford or GM built...

Who said that was the case? It didn't come from religion either. It is hardwired into the very essence of what we are (whatever that really is). Religion is merely custom and tradition (local color/flavor) and is about as fundamentally meaningful as what language you speak. If people need...

Yes, someone else who has eyes in their head.

You obviously have your opinions and others will have other opinions. Just because something is mainstream does not automatically mean it is superior and absolute. Everything is up for challenge and alternative views. If you do not like what I have to say then find something else to comment...

The same measure should be applied across the board. If saudi's want to confiscate all religious artifacts that are different from theirs at their border, then they should have no complaints when the same is done to them when they go to those other countries. Shred their korans at the border...

It is a response to the question you asked.

Found this: Saudis Shred Bibles Saudis Shred Bibles, Rights Campaigners Claim, Interesting: Saudi Arabia will shred your bible if you attempt to bring it into their country. And, in some cases, apparently if you're carrying a large number of bibles you can be put to death. This is a strict...

For one, even a casual observation of wild creatures will show that animals have no religion and yet show compassion,mercy, charity and kindness, even uncharacteristically so, at times. That and my own observations of human nature as I mentioned in a post just above that regardless of religion...

Time for the 2nd installment: We remember and so we know. The early beliefs in the supernatural were established by various "miracle" workers who were recruited and trained, and injected as agents to found and popularize mass movements and countercultures based on myth, and to undermine and...

What is really a laugh is how I post something which states that science is a good tool to elevate the human condition and religion has been used to hold humanity back, and people start to assume that I am an atheist. ROFL. That is really funny. And revealing as well. FYI....I AM NOT AN ATHEIST...

Facts according to you.

You are just being defensive is all. Because you subscribe to one of these superstitious and unprovable ideologies. And, it is too early to say. Unless there are only a dozen or less people who come here anymore. But this place is notorious for being slow to get anywhere in a...

"Doubt is not a pleasant condition but certainty is absurd" - Voltaire So, we need to remain open minded. Really, these matter wouldn't be any contention at all if it were not for the ignorance of humanity. I hope we can do something about that issue.

They are not the friends of the people. The people seems to be merely wealth creation mechanisms to them. They are, however, to serve the people by keeping people in optimum health. This, is not their agenda though according to the evidence. The Medical industry should be a non-profit...

I will respond to this however. I am not hiding at all. If you wish to have an intelligent and civil discussion then you must behave and control your inner dog which has a tendency to get carried away which has made you none too popular on this board. I am not suggesting in any way that...

I will respond to each point within the quote in red:

Well, split hairs then, call them ideas or notions if you will. I can prove gravity exists even if the exact mechanics are still beyond my grasp to explain and it seems to be consistent and reproducible the world over. The same goes for light which is another concept which still stumps the...

And all of them have incorporated useful aspects from religion into their shpiel, or have exploited the religious notions already present. They just used these things to build their iconic image into that of "the god" So we see the cult of personality rise to the fore in the past...

Actually, you have a false assumption you are working with there and that is.....I am NOT an atheist. I do believe in a God. My belief is just not a conventional religious belief and so I don't have others of like mind to congregate with (I haven't met many others yet, but I have met a few...

Maybe it sounds absurd, but I am not making this up. My comprehension is working better than your open mind which seems to be a tad closed. Taken from this website: symmetry breaking Blog Archive The strange case of solar flares and radioactive elements
