If God was real, I would not be here as the person I am today. We, as a race, would not have adapted or evolved the way we have. There would be no technology as there would be no need to invent things to make our lives easier. There would be no society as we understand it, just a small...
You are correct, the chinese government has a history of treating everyone equally badly - regardless of gender

If he does then, regardless of whether or not he actually exists, we can never interact with him on any meaningful level, so he may as well not exist
Offensive as we might find it, we cannot ban book burnings. It is a private individual's personal expression of his disagreement with it's content
As long as they have legally purchased and own the books being burned, and it is taking place on private property, not only do they have the right...
I would write an Agnostic Manifesto, but I can't decide whether to use the blue or black pen
Anyway, agnosticism is all about acknowledging the unknowable, so why bother searching for an answer if you can never know what the question is?
