For people of religion, atheists cause lots of problems. They question the beliefs that so many know for truth. They argue, fight, and call people insane, delusional, and dictating. Try as one might. One just can't quite get them...

sceptile_ex I agree with you that atheism by itself is not a negative influence. But you said Hinduism doesn't frown on denying the existence of god, does that means Hinduism one of the atheism movement? Isn't it Hindus workship Visnu, Siva or Brahma? So how can you...

sceptile_ex Exactly. Those who commit sin or unethical behavior never think of what will come back to you in time. A strict theist who believe in god will never commit such act as they know very well that the god is watching. One wrong and one right thing doesn't equal to...

My question to you is where are your favourite musicians from mostly. Do you notice that most of your favourite bands are from the USA, Canada, United Kingdom, or where exactly? And if you want to be more specific, what state or...

sceptile_ex I think Ricky Martin born in Puerto Rico as well, if not Central America, definitely not from Europe. I live in England, so obviously most of my favourite band will be British. Since my first language is English, I listen to American song as well, or should I...

sceptile_ex Actually I like different type of music, except maybe heavy metal and hard rock. And the lists is not complete. These are just the most notable one and I like quite a number of their song/music/lyric. There are some other song/music by other people that I like...

sceptile_ex Actually it has nothing to do with the language spoken and population. It depends on the spending power of the country. As an example, the second biggest music market in the world is actually Japan. Follow by UK, France and Germany. These 5 countries (include...

sceptile_ex Yes, that is what I believe. Isn't it hypocrite, that while they ask the theists to be open minded while themselve reject the existence outright? While saying this, I do not want to find out whether god exist or not. For me, the concept of god is just like...

sceptile_ex So, may I ask you what is guiding those athiest that lead to them thinking what they did was right and how do they differentiate what is bad and good, if it is not the god? Philosophy, sciences maybe? But philosophy is like religion which is a medium that...

sceptile_ex Year 2010 or 2011 not only will be critical for me, but the world as well. With current economic downturn, the worst situation might reach in 2010 or 2011, or will the economy actually at the start of a new economic cycle at 2010-2011, or worse still, the...

sceptile_ex 4*(750+400)=4600. 4*(2500+750)=13000. 1*(2000+500)=2500. 1*(1000+250)=1250. 4600+13000+2500+1250=21350. I think $21350 wasn't that expensive after all, or at least compared to mine.

A lot of times, when I'm listening to sermons, the pastor will use the Hebrew or Greek for a certain word. And then "come up" with two or three other words for that particular word. For instance, we just have the word love. In...

sceptile_ex My point is unless there is a standardise definition of words which is agree by all linguist of all written language system and applicable to all language, there will always be a lot of arguments. For example, we won't consider a idiom as a word, but the...

sceptile_ex Because my point is it depend on how you define a word. For example, most of the Chinese and Kanji characters have no meaning by their own. But they will form something that has a meaning when you combine 2 or more characters together. Even if the original...
