    God: begotten not created.

    That's right. God was begotten not created, is eternal, and the ever-lasting creator of the universe and humankind. So, obviously, although this question may seem fairly irrelevant (trust me it's relevant) and naïve, I want to stress the fact that it's a legitimate question - and shouldn't...

    Atheism seen as a mental flaw.

    Hi there - I know this site is occupied predominantly by people from the good old US of A, so I'll give you a quick contextual background for what - and as to why - I am writing. On Tuesday 17th July presenter Nick Hancock said on Channel 4's "WIN MY WAGE"...

    The Qur’an: Literal word of Allah?

    Hi. The question posted above is one that I would like to be informed about, as I am not sure what Muslims (of all branches of faith) believe about the Qur’an.

    Determinism- what is it, and is it plausible?

    Determinism. I'm not entirely sure within my own mind what it is, so this thread is open to all to members to post there own individual interpretation on the matter, and equally does determinism work, as a concept? Is it true? False? Faulty? Is there a proof against it?

    Can you be a Christian without going to Church?

    Self-explanatory really. Something we generally take for granted is that, with a set of beliefs a person then joins a congregation with that set of, or very similar beliefs. But what of those people who have faith in Christ and God, and the foundations of Christian belief, but have never...

    Paradoxical statements show that language is meaningless.

    Ok. I probably won't be able to explain this fully, and I understand there will always be conflicting views and opinions, but, before you read this, please be open to the possibility. A paradox is an example of a statement which loops itself to infinity. Star Trek has done it, and this riddle...
