Re: Atheist objection to the resurrection I never heard of b
* Raises hand * I must admit that I have heard such an idea/statement/claim before and I'm not surprised by it either. Then again the lack of supporting information/evidence regarding the astronomical happenings of the Bethlehem star would possibly be in the same category. Very much cheers to all.

Re: Pro-Life: The Logical Stance Belief or Non-Belief
Eugenics is simply wrong if you have democratic views, but it can be totally right you have an elitist view. Um....Nope, am missing the gist of this one. Democracy, Capitalism, Socialism...these are political views/ideal/etc....People can hold multiple ideas/ideals at the same time. Do...being some...

Re: Pro-Life: The Logical Stance Belief or Non-Belief
Forgive my candor, but your continued comment that life is complicated is annoying and is NOT an answer. When you say the practice SHOULD be left behind, (which I agree) by what basis do you judge it to be wrong? Your candor is quite welcome and indeed, my comment about life being complicated is no...

Re: Psycopath
Instead of fixing a problem that we are able to fix, we look for someone to blame, it's not God's fault for giving us freewill, it is our fault for abusing it. * Nods * I find pretty much everything you've replies with interesting, thoughtful and succinct. Though in regards to your very last commen...

Re: Pro-Life: The Logical Stance Belief or Non-Belief
Interesting and thank you for the link. So...having previously commented that 'Life' is complicated my stance is that both 'ends' of Life are also complicated. Do I subscribe to 'Abortion'? Short, simple (too simple) answer is: 'Yes'. Do I subscribe to 'Euthanasia'? Again the short, too simple reply...

Re: Atheism: Belief or Position?
With regards to entropy. My statement s thus: "We have the information that our reality started....and that eventually our reality will effectively end." This is true, yes? True. * Continues to inflate mental water-wings/floaties. * ;) My second statement is thus: "That which we reco...

Re: Psycopath
The part I am interested in is that there seems to be a choice to be relational or remain disconnected. It would seem that being disconnected from others is the default position for them but they still retain the capacity to change that, this denotes a choice whether they wish to work on it and imp...

Re: Atheism: Belief or Position?
To Jac3510, Okay...having very quickly looked through your second link (The first link you specifically pointed out to me) I can honestly say that I'm throwing myself into the philosophical deep end. :) Pretty much a good two thirds of all that essay is way over my head. Am slowly trying to expand m...

Re: Psycopath
? My thoughts ? From the cursory reading of the newspaper article? That a small group of folks diagnosed with physiological physios have been shown that they can, sort of, empathize. This seems to be a discovery since before now those diagnosed with the psychosis were deemed to not be able to relate...

Re: Psycopath
Well the article actually says things like this, "Our work shows it's not that simple. They don't lack empathy but they have a switch to turn it on and off. By default, it seems to be off ." The fact that they have the capacity to switch empathy on, at least under certain conditions , coul...

To jlay, I do apologize if my incredulity to you position has come across in a bad tone. As I posted/stated before, life is complex -Reducing it down to a simple And/Or seems...some how wrong to myslef. * Waves hand @ Kurieuo. :) As a secular agnostic (ON the atheistic end of the sliding scale) I'd ...
