I short message by yours truly

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=fXXOFcXVvyw#! I just thought this song was really good, I hope the rest of you enjoy it as much as I did.

This is the first part of a series I'm hoping to keep doing! Tell me what think...

In wonder I plunge and ponder, I stand as a child of stars, fated to scatter to the end, what property of these parts are mine? Hark! To a million years afore and yonder, It was here, but was not me. Now it is, and now I know: none of it will, whilst I may be. It is matter, but not what...

This is a poem I hope to send my father someday. I haven't yet, but someday I'll work up the courage and send it. I thank you father for all your support. I thank you for your kindness and good rapport. I thank you for your gifts when I was a boy. You kept me with you despite how I'd annoy. I...

I've been a little confused about this for a while. I've heard people saying that the rules in the old testament don't apply anymore, but being really vehement about the 10 commandments. Is there some sort of reason for this or is this one of those super rare cases of theistic irrationality?

I just wanted to say thanks to all the members here for helping me out in more ways than they knew they had. i feel like I've come a long way from being the fundamentalist Muslim that wanted to destroy atheists in debates to what I am now. It's been a while, but I finally feel like I'm making...

I wasn't sure where to go to do this, so I thought I'd go back to where this all began. I'm going to risk sounding stupid, but I honestly have no idea what I'm doing. I am, as some of you may know, an ex-Muslim living in the middle east, the UAE, fortunately not the worst place in Arabia, that...

I've been thinking really hard about how to address this topic without being misunderstood and here goes... It seems to me that people believe in a sort of soul of the self (I don't, just making that clear). I'm not talking about theists either, atheists too, perhaps it's mostly apathy on the...

It's been a while since I did a video so I thought it was about time I submitted something on Morality. Please tell me your thoughts.

A few questions.... hypotheticals... you know useless stuff. If they copied your body entirely, every molecule of you and created a copy of you. Which one would be you? You would obviously be the original, correct? Even though the new one had all your memories and thoughts. You wouldn't be able...

The only real evidence we have that other people experience consciousness in the same way we do is the fact that we do, and seeing that other humans appear like you, behave like you and are made up of the same things as you (by the same processes). We assume that they are also conscious in the...

Why is it that objects, for the most part, must collide in order for effects to occur? There are phenomena that occur without any collision, such as gravity, radioactive decay and the polarised spin pairing of leptons in quantum entanglement, but for the most part, why does collision cause...

A hypothetical chat conversation: acheron: Hey mary my son wants a god I dont know what to do. maryf: Oh... it shouldn't really be a problem. acheron: It is! I really don't like them =/ maryf: He might grow out of it eventually, dont worry about it. My daughter was the same once. acheron...

This is an argument I've been working on, I'd like to hear responses on how I could improve it or make it easier to understand. A question I've heard often is: "Why is there something rather than nothing?" Firstly this question betrays it self, because the adverb "Why" already supposes a...

Notice I didn't mention which religion? Yes, any religion. I'm curious as to what scientific or historical evidence there is to prove any religion. I'm not too bothered if it's phony or not (As long as it's not obviously phony). A few things have happened lately that have got me thinking...

In this dream, I was walking through an alleged haunted house with several other members of this forum (I can't remember who) whereupon we found something that could actually be considered supernatural. On finding this we began conducting a series of independent tests to verify whether this...

Say I have a pole, infinitely strong, infinitely light (yes, this is hypothetical) and extends the length of the distance between the Earth and Jupiter. Say I pull on one end of the pole. How long will it take to effect the other end of the pole. And what does this imply? would the pole...

Unfortunately, no... This topic isn't about how many mistakes the Qur'an makes, I'm sure none of us are in doubt that there are mistakes in the Qur'an, however I've noticed that the many people that address the problems with Islam tend to assert a lot of things that simply aren't true about the...
