As a position, theism doesn't proclaim every defined and categorized God as being real and believable, merely that at least one is held to be real and...
Note that one can also believe in God but claim to have no knowledge of him. My position is the opposite, and more coherent, I'd argue. Every theist i...
Sappy, you had linked Bertrand Russell earlier in this thread (I think?), have you read this piece by him? It's a pretty concise little followup to hi...
But the opposite isn't true, that misfortune and malfunction requires goodness - or put another way, suffering exists whether goodness is applied to i...
I think you need both, as I don't see how a millionaire pimp who fails at reducing the demands of the body could also be mentally ascetic at the same ...

This would only confirm that the depression is attitude-based. But if there's a chemical imbalance in the brain, then the sugar pill won't do anything...
I don't think it's fair to say that narcissists can't love at all. Surely they can love, just not as fully as others might be able to, no? Not bad, bu...

I don't know, and neither do you. That has been my point. Um, no you don't agree. You've already said that unrepentant criminals won't go to heaven wh...
Does your high school also teach the world religions? I think it's important for kids to be educated in both religion and philosophy, albeit in differ...
