Many have asked for people to prove that god does exist, starting from a standpoint of nuetral through to that he does not exist.

However I wish to reverse the situation, I would like for people to try and prove logically that god does not exist.

Please answer within the bounds of the question, and explain your reasoning.

Thanks.

I know it's probably one of the best things we can do for ourselves, but I sometimes feel that I'm thinking about the past or planning for the future without living in the now.

Can you tell me how you live for the moment? Any advice on enjoying or savouring each second would be appreciated, especially when it comes to doing things that aren't so fun. Thanks!

no disease, no pestilences, no hurt feelings, no broken homes, no enervation, no pain, etc, etc, etc.

If none of the above listed and other consequence of pleasures of sex, would you do it?

Then think about this one. If no consequences to sex, would immoderation be so immoral? These are question of pure thought and try not to be so moralistic

I'm looking for a long, intelligent debate between a theist and an atheist that doesn't have an audience, just the debaters and perhaps a moderator. All the ones I have found for some reason have audiences. I get very irritated by the biases of the audience and the cheering or laughing etc.. It's not only irritating but also distracting.

Another problem with those audience types is that the format makes it impossible for every point to be addressed. You end up simply hearing two positions but not really solving anything.

The only one I found that was excellent in this regard was an audio debate between Richard Dawkins and David Quinn. There was no audience, and they countered each other point to point. Unfortunately there wasn't enough time, barely more than 15 minutes.

So if anyone knows where else I can find such a debate either in audio or video format I would be very grateful. Thank you.

i wont list the branches of philosophy and i wont go into details. but from what i have studied is that there are realy only two things that philosophy consists of.

1) determining whether reality is actualy there (skepticism)

which is basicaly shown that it is self refuting and has many flaws to the theory.

2) assuming that it is, you base opinions of what the true nature of reality is and base opinions and theories on all the different aspects of life and reality.

Sun is in the stationary position
Our Earth is rotating it self 360 degrees in a day and move arround the Sun approximately 1 degree
for example in the morning my door is facing East and when our earth rotates itself to 180 degrees is it my door step will face west? If it is correct what about Vasthu sasthra?Iam little bit confused pshycologically with this question arising from me.
we find the poles depends on the Sun direction. We are Travelling daily 1000 of kilometers with out knowing us will not change our door directions?

With all the information around and available to us, not to mention all of the information that is thrust upon us by force, is there to much for us to handle these days?

Is this "information overload" desensitising us to the horrors and the evils of the world around us, in effect robbing us of our strength of character and humanity?

Serious answers only please.

Thanks.

Some is the golden rule,others based their morality in the Bible.What's yours?

for example, skepticism has many fallacies and is basicaly self refuting and inconsistent. hjust like the brain in a vat scenerio and solipsism.

so with this in mind why is it that it is deemed irrefutable if it has so many self refuting fallacies?

if so, are there any flaws in his private language argument?

also, the reason for his argument is to prove that other minds exist in order for language to be possible, an other reason is to argue against solipsism.

but i have a question. is language still impossible if the solipsist imagines other minds and then communicates with other minds? or id language only possible if there are other minds that are not your own? PLEASE HELP!

Don't say majority. if a decision cannot be made to compensate all, what other solutions can you think of as relevant (to all..)., hey "Ronin", i'm aware of links, lets hear some words:)
