Clarifying atheism and anti-theism.

omnithought @omnithought (199) • United States 16 Mar 07

Concerns about the book version of the Secret.

omnithought @omnithought (199) • United States 16 Mar 07

I'll need to read the book to confirm this, but it seems the book is saying a lot of outlandish things that the movie didn't say. I have heard that it actually says that people get fat due to their thoughts about food, not the...

Is there an unforgivable sin?

omnithought @omnithought (199) • United States 15 Mar 07

There are two places in the Bible (Mark, 3:28-29 and Matthew, 12:30-32) that state that there is an unforgivable sin: the sin of denying or blaspheming against the Holy Spirit. Yet, I've also heard that all sins can be forgiven....

A human dies and is greeted by someone who identifies themselves as a Tour Guide. He beckons the new arrival to a helicopter and they fly over a beautiful forest. After that they pass over a dark, fiery chasm that smells of blood...

Buddha Said It Best!

omnithought @omnithought (199) • United States 13 Mar 07

omnithought @omnithought (199) • United States 10 Mar 07

Bigotry happens when a person lumps a group of people together and assumes they all share the same attributes. As time goes on and we become less ignorant, we see the complete fallacy in this, and it becomes less and less socially...

Choosing Your Religion

omnithought @omnithought (199) • United States 10 Mar 07

Has anyone here ever gotten into Christianity from a purely logical and rational standpoint? It seems that people get into Christianity through these avenues: 1) They were brought up with it, and their young, impressionable...

A Plea to Creationists

omnithought @omnithought (199) • United States 7 Mar 07

I've seen a great deal of posts on here supposedly "debunking" evolution, but they have all been so full of incorrect assumptions about evolution. People aren't debating evolution, they're debating some weird fantasy science that...

What is evolution?

omnithought @omnithought (199) • United States 28 Feb 07

What is more important to you, truth or belief?

omnithought @omnithought (199) • United States 28 Feb 07

If there were some kind of irrefutable, factual evidence that came to light which went against your beliefs, would you still cling to your beliefs, or would you change them to fit the evidence? Please, stick with the premise of...

How do you envision god?

omnithought @omnithought (199) • United States 24 Feb 07

Whether we believe in a god or not, we usually have an idea in our head of what and how god is. Even if a person is arguing against god, they usually have a concept of what they are arguing against. Regardless of whether or not...

omnithought @omnithought (199) • United States 24 Feb 07

There are a lot of Americanized versions of Thai recipes out there, which have altered recipes with the Western palate or cooking style in mind. A lot of people simply don't know how to use the more common ingredients in Thai...
