Woops. Didn't even realize nobody comes to this board. After further inspection I see only perhaps 1 active discussion then. :(

I take spirituality as self-discovery, what I feel and think during those moments I consider the origin of life, what exactly I am, and all the mysteries of the universe. I think it goes hand in hand with philosophy. There are no definite answers, just exploration. It is an exercise in thinking...

Please do not take this the wrong way, but I'd advise you do not send people to w3schools. It spreads downright wrong and out-dated information. See here for why: http://w3fools.com. ..and I would seriously advise anybody against using GoDaddy. Do some research on their bad press. I wouldn't...

It is a good start. Don't forget that most creative work comes to life through merciless editing. Could you elaborate on what you are trying to convey, so we can offer more meaningful feedback? What initially strikes me is that you start with something so epic (the tree of life), that the...

To be fair, you should be more concerned about mindless trolls than the thoughtful members who defend their victims.

I often wonder why we are so ethically conflicted with the most core of animal values: survival. The same kind of thinking that objects to 'necessary' animal testing is the same kind of thinking that goes into vegetarianism. We eat meat to survive, we test animals to develop better medicine to...

Thanks Laurens. I understand your point. What I find hard to rationalise is how somebody (an atheist) can be in a position of no religion and then, essentially, *choose* a religion like they are shopping in the supermarket, and cannot see that they are making a choice. I suppose it is no...

I hadn't suspected him of never having been an atheist, the devious rascal! Thankfully, I'm somewhat of a virgin in this atheist vs theist debate, so I can be ignorant to some of the tricks used.

Have you tried to search 'how can an atheist..' in google? One of the suggested searches is 'how can an atheist be happy'. You could possibly use the keyword tool to find other searches people have been submitting. Anyway, I watched this vid of an atheist-turned-christian (beware, contains...

The rising trend of non-believers, and the beginning of the downfall of religion. Good times.

At the minute, yes, only logic. I'm one of those desperately obsessive people who half exhausts a subject then moves on :)

Then I'm sure you'll love Logicomix: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Logicomix-An-Epic-Search-Truth/dp/0747597200/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1335835184&sr=8-1 Just received my copy today and it is excellent! Using it as a prep into more in-depth studies on logic.

Re: Any book recommendations about logic and critical thinki Thanks very much! Not sure how I missed that.

Re: Any book recommendations about logic and critical thinki Ordered :) Thanks. Shame it isn't on the Kindle (couldn't find it, anyway).

I'm looking for some *excellent* books about logic and critical thinking so I'd welcome any and all suggestions. Are there any other important periphery areas which deserve books?
