Most people get their information on the "global warming debate" from reporters, not from scientists or research papers. Reporters are usually incompetent in matters of science, and will outright lie to spice up articles. I've been interviewed by, and interned at, newspapers and saw the...

Someone needs to quarantine the infection of religious ignorance.

Mine ensured I had a big stack of books available from the moment I could flip pages by myself. And they had me reading by the time I was 4. I had norse and greco-roman legends on the shelf when I was 6, and it started a love for mythology that had me read every book of legends the school and...

All people are indoctrinated. As a north american, you've likely been indoctrinated into believing that eating bugs is yucky, while 2/3 of the world would disagree with you. Your neighbor has been indoctrinated to believe all sex outside marriage is bad. Children are hardwired to be...

I'll touch that part. The physical structures of the brain are consistent across the species except for minor deviations due to mutation or trauma. The perceptions of these similar structures are also similar. The reliability of these structures is also limited in scope, and parties to a...

Supposing that Skygod Crankypants was real, look at all the useless pricks he has in middle management. All seeing, all knowing, all powerful... But he still needs a bunch of pedophiles and con men to act as his representatives. The lord of all creation manifesting as nothing more substantial...

So, a few questions for our authorities on souls.... 1) What is your evidence for the existence of a "soul" or a consciousness that persists after death? 2) What happens to the soul when you sever the corpus collosum, and under observation you see two distinct personalities operating in the...

And you single handedly ended World War 2 and Smallpox. Everyone's a hero on the internet. :P

but but but.... we KNOW there's a soul because we just... we just KNOW.... Now imagine if Einstein tried to explain relativity that way.

So truthful they had to tag the torrent with "prison break" and "heroes" to get people to find it by accident.

I agree that the only advice to accept here is "Talk to a doctor". Do you really want to take a chance that you follow advice from someone that believes in witches and psychics?

"The devil" is just the quest for knowledge outside the church. That's what they want to "save" you from.

Religion has already left in some places. Scandinavian countries have as high as 80% atheism in their communities right this minute. The better the education of the populace, the less religion there is. And sure, North America has a lot of college students, but it has a very high density...

Someone finally banned the moron? That's cool :) Even if it didn't work.

Ha! It must be Leviticus day! LWLe7W-LNdU

Greed maybe, but headway is already being made against ignorance and religion. As academics fight to instill critical reasoning faculties in future generations we will see better educated and capable youth. And religion is already losing it's numbers. It may not seem like much to most...

I only know one atheist out of a few hundred that would like to see all religious people dead. But he would also like to see all people who walk slower than him in the mall dead too. I'm strongly opposed to baseless and dogmatic faiths. Believing anything just for the sake of believing...

It's really very simple. When you make claims about knowing about souls, the afterlife, "who" created the universe, and what happened before the universe came into being, yet offer no evidence to back it up, we're going to tell you to fuckoff and come back when you can show something to support...

Just because you're afraid of death and need to make things up to face the end does not make them real. Science actually evaluates evidence. The afterlife stuff you're peddling isn't based on anything more real than a Stephen King novel. I don't need to be an uber evolved being to know...
