    Why did islam get founded?

    Simple question, what's the reason islam was founded. Is it because when christianity and judaism reached the arabian regions the jewish and chrstian religious leaders realized the culture was completely different and teaching people about a religion they can't relate to won't work. So they made...

    Gabrielle Chana

    I'm not sure if she's a horrible troll or just batshit insane. She claims to have telepathic sex with vladimir putin, Brent spiner, Matthew McConaughy, etc. If she is a troll she's trying really hard to make it believable, making 150 videos and a couple of websites for little gain since most of...

    Armenian genocide

    Was it a genocide or a massacre or something else? I know most historians call it a genocide but is there any conclusive evidence? I don't know why turkey is so obsessed about not calling it genocide. They act like the whole world is against them. The definition of genocide: the deliberate and...

    Why genders?

    It all started with one celled organisms that just devided, over time organisms became more complex and so did reproduction. But why did alot of animals evolve to have a male and a female version. It's quite a weird way to reproduce if you look at and in some cases just plain dangerous and...

    Nationalism and patriotism

    What's your opinion about nationalists and patriots? It seems in the western world it's primarily the US that upholds the idea that people who fight in wars are defending the rights and freedoms of the country. They are seen as heroes amongst alot of the common people while it has nothing to do...

    Red Orchestra 2

    So who's looking forward for this game? I love RO 1, been playing it since it was a mod of UT 2K4 an I've been a regular member of the community ever since. The gameplay is quite unique as it's a mix of fun and realism. It's pc only so there is no dumbing down to make it accessible for consoles...

    Randomness

    As far as I know there is no real randomness in nature, every event or action is actually influenced by previous events therfor making every action a reaction. But if one would have all the knowledge in the universe, would he be able to predict the future for 100% correct?

    Autism and atheism

    Free will

    How free is free will? For example: if you had all the knowledge of everything that could influence the behaviour of a guy, his education, the complete history of him, his complete environment. You have complete knowledge of how everything behaved and will behave, then that guy has to make a...

    Life and the universe

    You have this universe, billions of galaxies, trillions of stars, even more planets. And in this solar system you have 8 planets, most of them are "dead" planets, they are all different, in size, mass, atmosphere, etc. but they're just balls of matter. But then there is this planet, which has...

    Do animals have religion

    I wonder if animals besides humans believe in a God or Gods or have any superstition. As far as I know some animals like primates have a primitive form of culture, dolphins are pretty smart, elephants return to the same spot where one of their own died so I guess it's not completely impossible...

    Stories of saviors

    As far as I'm aware, the explanation of Jesus was that he may or may not have been a real historical person that was turned into a legend over time. The thing that strikes me as odd is that the biblical Jesus has similarities with other saviors and gods. Why did they just copy old stories? Did...

    Atheism certainty

    I wonder how certain most atheists are about there being no God. I believe there is no god, but I accept I could be wrong, there's always a chance all the scientists were wrong, that God is real or that I'm actually just dreaming. It's highly uncertain, but possible in a certain sense. I find...
