With science we can build things that work. With religion we can divide and destroy, we can segregate, we can discriminate, etc. Religion is based on unprovable theories which people MUST take on faith to be accepted. Science is based on provable, reproducible facts. There is theoretical...

I am becoming somewhat bitter(perhaps it would be more accurate to say exasperated) at times regarding how religion is used to keep people divided. How people in some religions feel they are somehow "above" criticism as they are adherents to the "True and proper" religion (which is a total...

I would respond, but all you do is speak in a rude and offensive manner. So I will not respond to you.

Reality is far more fantastic than anything that unaided human imagination could ever devise. For example: the mind could not visualize a new color, such as infrared or ultraviolet. It can only manipulate combinations of elements that it has already experienced. Everything that is truly new...

Everything is a military target these days. Here is an interesting video in the spirit of remembrance: kVKGRB3cygg

The muzzies in times past have had no problems burning any non-muslim texts so despite it being a stupid idea it is kind of fitting. But stupid fundamentalist extremists will probably do something horrible to retaliate and it will undoubtedly unleash a nasty war with millions of dead. Isn't...

Zen Buddhism works pretty good for that. It is all about getting the person out of their mind so they can obtain a broader perspective. Subjectivity makes a terrible filter for reality. Everything becomes biased.

Yup, different times, same BS.

Well, cows are sacred in India and Krishna is blue.....magic mushrooms grow on cow dung and they are blue when crushed or bruised, being the definitive identifier. Could be a parallel there.

The thing about capitalism is that only the things that pay end up getting done. So it wears a clean suit, but has dirty underpants.

He cannot help himself it seems. So either he is a very bitter individual or he is a shill with an agenda. It happens all over the net on many other forums as well. Sometimes these individuals are just bitter and full of ire. Other times they are specifically targeting and baiting on...

Still shilling I see.

So true. Take the common guitar for example. Some make music which is incredible, and others it is unbearable. Scriptures can be looked at in the same way.

Apparently the recent activity in the sun has caused anomalies in the decay rates of radioactive isotopes, which has the scientists in a quandary. How reliable then is the carbon-14 dating method if the decay rate isn't constant? Personally, I believe that the world is very old, much older...

Aren't you the mindless mutt. Dog brain as opposed to god brain. You do live up to you nickname.

It is a very unwise thing to have all the nations divided. If those who seek to unite humanity can ever cobble together a system which will actually be just and fair, then a global republic (or whatever) would be a good thing. Currently, the motives and the character of the ones pushing this...

You guys totally missed the point I was making with the term graduating. After a time too much reliance on anything be it meditation, dancing or sacraments or whatever will create a dependency. It is good to take what one has learned (by whatever means) and put it into practice. Maybe try...

So what is your specific definition of "person".

Given that the cycle we are in is the Kali Yuga it makes sense that people do crazy things, and it is to be expected as it is the "normal" at this time....but it will pass and we will see clearer eventually.

The gov't of Canada wrote that Louis Riel was a traitor and that is why he was hanged. People believed them as , well, they were the gov't after all and therefore have credibility. But it was all a lie. Certain powerful political groups had conspired together first to oppose the rebellion (as...
