Merry Christmas... Happy Saturnalia... Happy Holidays... (pick whichever you like!) Been a long time since I last came here.. how are you all doing? I wonder, what did I miss? Oh and, my wife is now an atheist. Trust me, I did nothing to make her one. Suddenly one day about a month ago she...

A while ago I had watched Richard Dawkins having sort of a casual conversation with a hard-bent creationist theist lady. He displays such amazing patience, that I can't even imagine myself having. If I was in Dawkin's place, I would have strangled her to death for being so stupid! Anyway...

So this might be put in Religion forum, but I feel it better fits here. So basically, the flopped media star Harold Camping predicted that Rapture will occur on May 21st, which didn't really occur on the date. However, during the weeks and months before that date, a whole lot of people spent...

Just stumbled upon something called a Bitcoin which is a new form of currency. It is a decentralized, inflation-proof currency. Here are some pages and videos on it: Read: Bitcoin Main Site WeUseCoins.com - Official introduction to Bitcoin Wikipedia on Bitcoin Bitcoin P2P Currency: The Most...

11-year-old Reincarnated - WJW (Fox 8 Cleveland) As always I'm skeptical about this, but my wife and her friend (both wiccans) are like "yes yes reincarnation is true." My wife commented the following on facebook: I had almost the same thing happened to me.. However I don't recall everything...

Every now and then, I run into some advertisement in the form of a flyer or a video advocating why we must be vegans. Not just vegetarians but strict vegans. The advertisement tells you how our consumption of meat is contributing to, among other things, global warming and wastage of resources...

Sounds religious, right? Well it is. I haven't watched the movie, but I read the plot on Wikipedia. It's the story of a blind guy who goes against all odds to protect a certain book which supposedly can give you the power to build cities and control people. The book is none other than... King...

Is it possible to have help tips shown on the post editor to guide newbies and even veterans who just couldn't figure it out? The tips are to appear when one places the mouse pointer on buttons in the toolbar. Examples would be as follows: The arrow I used in the youtube tip is → if...

... philosophy can? I stumbled upon this video while I was looking for something else, and it got me thinking. Take a look:

Another topic that warrants a Psychology subforum... I've been thinking about how different people listen to a speaker in different ways. I've been wanting to call it "subjective listening" and "objective listening" but apparently these terms mean something related to music according to Google...

To theists: You know, Santa Claus and God are very similar. Lot of people believe in God. Lot of children believe in Santa Claus. Such children truly believe Santa Claus is real, the same way theists truly believe God is real. But when their parents tell them that Santa Claus is not real, they...

Hey, this is a TEDx video on "Cola Life" which is an initiative to utilize the effective distribution channels of Coca Cola, Pepsi and other products to supply life-saving medications to the third world, such as countries in Africa. What are your views on his idea and his plans? Sidenote...

I don't know how to make sense of it. She sees things like fairies. She told me that a long time ago, she read about fairies in some book. At first, it sounded ridiculous to her, but later she saw fairies with her own eyes (or so she says) and then believed in the existence of fairies. Fairies...

Besides your own, of course! (Because I love my own :lol: and I'm sure you do your own too, otherwise why would you put it as your avatar?) My number 1: Duvelthehobbit666's Push button, receive bacon. Number 2: Master_Ghost_Knight's Cookie Moster hates Fruits! Bonus: nasher168's I've no...

I saw this advertisement on my mobile phone (HTC Desire with Android 2.2, if you must know) which effectively said something along the lines of "Jesus said this prayer for you" Being curious I clicked and it took me to this website with of course the Christian stuff. Some bullet point about how...

Collecting LORistics (statistics of LORians), just for fun :) The list is alphabetical in order to avoid preferences, although my most favorite is at the top :P Further reading: Wikipedia - Mobile operating system

Emphasis is mine. Original statement quoted from here. I do not agree to the underlined statement. Kids are actually quite smart to me. Smart in the sense that they are quick in learning, are able to discern better, are not limited by social norms or "accepted" ways of thinking, are adventurous...

Anybody in favor of "Psychology" forum where discussions related to psychology can take place? Also I'm not sure where this should go. Consider the following options: Add as a main forum under Reason. Add as a sub-forum under Reason > Science & Mathematics. EDIT: See reply below.
