Do you fear death?

In conversation with a few atheists I have heard some of them say that they do not like the idea of death being "nothing." I find this hard to understand. Sure, I don't like the idea of dying but I cannot say I fear death. So after my last thought flickers out of existence and my body star...

Where will religion be in 100 years?

I have to admit, lately I've been scared. No, not about the coming war with Iraq (a given) but with the state of people's minds regarding religious beliefs. Is it just me or is fundamentalist Christianity on the rise in this country? Maybe my mind is just more attuned to seeing the Christian propaga...

Re: Cults

Cheryl,You forgot "You know you're in a cult when you need to turn in a report which states how many hours you spent in proselytising....or else." I don't mean to turn this into an Ex-Jehovah's Witness forum, but some of you know that I am also an ex-JW (also called ex-dub). My experience ...

Total Solar Eclipses: Evidence of Design?

All right skeptical community, I've got a question.

People attributed the name Lucifer to the ch...

An aside

There is a conflict in the biological world whether viruses are considered "living" or not. My zoology prof doesn't think so. Funny, isn't it?B

Re: Purpose and purposelessness

Cheryl,Well, that's a very theoretical question. Ask anyone on the streets if they value life and if their life has a purpose and most likely the answer will be affirmative, albeit with varying convictions. Personally, I have found that most people have some sense of purpose to their lives and feel ...
