Religion: Truth AND fiction(1) The truth is that only through belief in most religions that salvation in some afterlife is supposed; so it is also a fiction that through a religion, or otherwise, that salvation or an afterlife could be known.(2) The truth is that hope of a better life in the here and now and in some afterlife...

Religion & Spirituality > Atheism & Agnosticism Why Atheism is wrong
7 of 58

Functionality, divine revelation, explicit atheism, and "Santa Claus isn't real and I can prove it."After reading the first few highest rated articles under this title I was surprised to not see a more thorough defense of atheism. Snyder is correct when she says that we all "function" in the world, Flourfingers implies many a... More..

Religion & Spirituality > Atheism & Agnosticism Atheist belief in UFOs
7 of 20

Now that's quite odd. An atheist believes there is no evidence there is a god or other myth-faith-based entities, but somehow believes that UFO's transport aliens and other pseudo-stuff. Rather strange!Statistically speaking there must be life in the Universe other than just here on Earth, but science does not work that way. ... More..

Religion & Spirituality > Atheism & Agnosticism Good without God: Secular humanism and morality
8 of 19

Another assumption is that secular humanism equals, leads followers towards, or is in some other way connected with morality. The... More..

Religion & Spirituality > Thoughts on God Can science prove the existence of God?
36 of 61

NO! Science cannot (and could never) prove the existence of the Tooth Fairy, Invisible Unicorns, or GOD; it could clarify whether there is a Celestial Tea Pot in orbit or not, and so, what a weird question. This is a question primarily asked by non-science-minded people. Many today would like (and attempt) to distort the role... More..

Religion & Spirituality > Religious Speculations & Criticisms Would you die for your religious beliefs?
15 of 25

No! If a gun was held to my head I would (at least claim to) renounce any belief necessary that would prevent me from being shot right then; If I had to choose to sign an oath renouncing my beliefs, or die, I would sign the oath; If I had to live my life pretending to believe other than what I do, or die, I would pretendMaybe...

Religion & Spirituality > Thoughts on God Contemplating the existence of God
143 of 174

"Contemplating the existence of belief"The first step needed for truly "contemplating the existence of God" is to assume that any part of what was heard, read, spoken or even believed about God in the past may be incorrect information. Staying objective is the most important step to true contemplation about any ideal, not jus... More..
