"What do you WANT the truth to be? "I think that statement explains the point of many religious views perfectly.The whole point of "truth" is that their is one option.

"Oh, so they have internet on computers now!" - Homer Simpson"What I see in Nature is a magnificent structure that we can comprehend only very imperfectly, and that must fill a thinking person with a feeling of “humility.” This is a genuinely religious feeling that has nothing to do with mysticism ...

God is the 'thing' that seems to balance out the theory of every thing, and as we keep finding how things around us work God is seeming to have less effect on the universe around us and will eventually disappear or will be replaced by another. Read More

"Death does not concern us, because as long as we exist, death is not here. And when it does come, we no longer exist."-EpicurusWhy should I fear death? If death is - I am not. If I am - death is not. So why should I fear that which cannot exist when I do   Read More

Good and Evil are very subjective, does killing a person make you evil? What if they were going to kill you? Whose standards do we use to say some one is good or someone is evil?

As to who's right .... i'd say agnostics have the best argument because they say every one is right or wrong including themself.  The simple reason that i dont believe science and religon cannot co-exist is that believing religon is right prevents us from looking for the truth. i would rather not ...

Im an Atheist ..... i believe that people with the capability to change society should do so to better the human race and ensure our survival. I'm against people who are willingly ignorent. and believe that humaity should shed away all that holds us back. Read More

If we are takling about scientificly evolving into a different form in this world, it may be possible but it will most likely be done by us rather than through adaptation (we aren't patient enough for it).If we are talking about ascending to heavan/astral planes/etc./etc., we might want to find out ...

I dont know about other countries but in the US over 50% of the people wouldn't vote for an Atheist based only that they are Atheists. This is higher that for any other belief. Read More

In my opinion Religon was formed to answer what cannot be understood at the time and to place a certain amount of control on scociaty (similar to laws). To maintain that control religons implicitly resist change (religon is far more all or nothing than science). e.g if it was proven jesus was not ... Read More

Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? then he is malevolent.Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?- Epicurus Read More

Atheims is no weaker than any religon, and i still don't understand why Atheism is attacked for not proving god does not exists, when no religon can prove god does exist.If no evidence exists towards something existing or not, its inconceivable to think so many choose to believe it does exist by ...

America tends to be one of the few places in the western world where this is even a problem. I’m an atheist and can’t recall any time when I’ve not been taken seriously just because I’m an atheist.  That being said I do live in New Zealand and from what I’ve experienced there is a bit of ...
