    Help me.

    Don't be sorry, I appreciate your apology, but I would prefer you understood. What does the bible say with regard to those who die 'unsaved' (or whatever interpretation of that particular conceit you have been tutored in.) ?

    String Theory etc

    "Why" searches for justification, evidence, reason, a foundation for your ideas. "Why not" is a silly ad hoc position, acquiescence. e

    Help me.

    Without pointing out the naked abuse of the shared metaphor and the comic attempt at equivocation - yes, if you created an agent knowing what it would do and the consequences of those actions - you would of course be responsible. This silly analogy fails - of course - on some fairly basic...

    Help me.

    "did I sentence the child to the pain and most likely death that will incur by instructing them to not run into the street" If you designed and created the child knowing full well what it would do in the future, then - yes - you did sentence the child to death beneath the wheels of a car...

    Help me.

    So, Satan created hell (and decided to take us humans with him). This does not answer the OP's question, it simply delays it. If we are to subscribe to your theology, the question now raised is: God created Satan - knowing Satan would create hell and take the majority of humanity with...

    Is God evil?

    You're getting there ! Slowly, but surely, it's coming into focus, you strike me as someone who is starting to engage their innate rational intelligence. The one thing I would advise when seeking to establish a honest answer to a difficult question is not to come to the question with what...

    The lie that you believe

    Why not close the doors on hell ? Send everyone to heaven ?

    How does resurrection work?

    Neither, it is a religious conceit to stave off the fear of death.

    What Conclusion Did A Highly Educated Ex-Atheist And Ex-Skeptic Come To About God?

    Laughable tired old demagoguery, appeals to desire and ad hominem. I actually laughed at a couple of points in the third video (the one with the speaker talking on stage to the credulous). :D I am not sure if it is even worth pointing out, but there is not one argument proffered - just bald...

    What is a god ?

    Jig, thanks for the comprehensive answer. Where did you get your information about god being a 'light energy' ? And could you expand on this ? Lee

    What is a god ?

    The Judeo-Christian god. What is it. A physical object, an emotion, a word, a force etc ?

    What is a god ?

    Thanks for the reply. I should have been clearer in my stating of the question, I mean to ask the question at those who believe in the existence of the Judeo-Christian god. Again I should have pointed out that it is the Judeo-Christian god I am asking about, so dualism would be a part of...

    What is a god ?

    Hi Solidlyhere. I am not sure I understand your answer ? In fact I am not sure you understand my question ! - either way there is some confusion here. Let me clarify. You ask: "if it's SUCH a simple question, why do you even bother to ask it" - as I said in my original post - it is a simple...

    Yet another philosophical question 2

    "something is not right here' I wonder why !? Religion is all a load of nonsense. :) You live, you die. Be happy and nice to people in between. And don't forget to have fun. :)

    What is a god ?

    Simple question to those who know. Can you tell me what a god is, by that I don't want to know what a god means to you or what a god can do or what a god may think of non-believers - just very simply what is this actual thing those who believe in the supernatural worship. For example is god a...

    What happens when we die?

    For you, nothing. Similarly, for you, what 'happened' in the eons prior to your birth ?

    Creationist appointed to head the Texas State Board of Education

    America sinks a tiny bit further into the quagmire of a superstitious belief system. One advantage of adopting Creationism is that it does not just do away with evolutionary biology it also replaces cosmology, chemistry, physics and geology. Think of the money saved when you roll all those...
