...what it's really like being dead, feeling and thinking absolutely nothing? Is it because it's so hard to comprehend nothingness?

No Bible quotes please. I really don't care what God thinks, just your personal thoughts. =)

How many of you religiously watch the Charlie Brown Thanksgiving episode every year?

It all starts with the great pumpkin in October.....
And then the Thanksgiving special (on last night)....
And then of course, Merry Christmas Charlie Brown.......


For some reason, Thanksgiving just wouldn't be the same without it. It's got that "School House Rock" effect on me.

when you can't remember any life before this. It seems to me that we already know whether there is a life waiting for us in another place because we didn't have a life before this one.

So why can people know they had no life before this but be so sure that they will get one after.

And PLEASE don't say that there was a life before this but we don't remember it. In the first place, if you don't remember it how could you possibly know about it, and in the second place if there was no continuity of memory what would be the point. That would not be ONE life it would be two separate lives.

It seems to me like a lot of people think that todays wicca/witchcraft is based on Crowleys ideas. Just me personally, I think he was kind of creepy and pretty insane. I've read several books by Scott Cunningham, Silver Ravenwolf, Lexa Rosean, and other famous others. I also know a lot of wiccans/witches and I don't see where they relate at all to Crowleys ideas, other than the small fact of the differance between 'magic' and 'magick'. These aren't satanic, devil worshipping people, like 'The Beast 666'. Maybe it's just me, but I don't see much relation between todays wicca/witchcraft and Crowley. Do you? Thanks in advance

You as a normal person would sin, but you do know where the limit is drawn.
You don't need to believe in God to know that killing is wrong, as a normal person you just feel it in your conscience that killing someone is wrong.

Nonetheless there are so many people killing each other out there! How come these people have no sense of right and wrong? How come they don't feel bad for killing someone?
A normal person like you would never kill anyone!

Monsterous demons are possesing these people!!

Infact so many people around you these days are possesed and controlled by some dark force!

Your friendly neighbor could turn evil any time if possesed by a demon! You can't trust anyone! It is out there! It is the only explanation to why people can kill heartlessly!

I infact experienced demon possesion numerous times having my brother grip locking me for my family's safety!

The scary thing was I knew what I was doing but I couldn't stop myself from turning berserk!

why did christians still believe slavery was ok until only about 100 years ago? why did they believe murdering the non-believers, i.e. native americans, was ok a few hundred years ago? why in some states was interracial marriage banned until less than ten years ago? christianity had over 1500 years to spread from the time of jesus till the oldest events i mentioned. and these weren't unpopular practices among christians either. they were very common. shouldn't the new covenant have allowed for blacks to remain free? shouldn't the new covenant have allowed for the native americans to practice their own religions? shouldn't the new covenant have allowed for interracial marriages?

You cannot possibly know the full origins of them. Or what has been lost in translation. Or what has been lost of left out. Those decisions were made by previous generations. So how do you know that the version you hold in your hand isn't some terrible Chinese whispers of a tome, full of stuff that would make God absolutely despair.

What is your take on this story. I promise you, this is true:

When I was 16, I got a dog.

When I was 22, I got my drivers license (long story, very boring).

My first day home alone with the drivers license, I decided to take the dog and get a sandwich, but the dog gave me a really hard time about getting into the car - kept giving me those puppy eyes that said "I'm not so sure about this!" Anyway, We went out, I got my snack & we came back home...

BUT when my mom got home she said "what's wrong with the dog? She's acting really guilty." And I have to admit, she was.

Clearly, the dog thought it was "wrong" for me to take the car. I don't know if she thought we'd get in trouble or what, but my dog had ethical misgivings about going for a ride that day.

Your thoughts?

So this group of Johova's witness came knocking on my door I was sleeping so I open the door & they ask me Do you know God so I tell them yes hold left the door open looked towards the kitchen & said God they're looking for you. When I look back outside they were leaving. They've never come knocking on my door again. I have to thank GOD for that, but just in case I put a 'NO SOLICITING' sticker on the top of the door So far it's kept them away.

so what I'm saying is if you are a Jehovah's witness think for a minute if you weren't would you appreciate someone waking you up on a Sunday morning?

I had a dream where I was sitting in some place and I kept glancing at my arm and when I look closer all of a sudden I seen this light barcode appeared on my right top wrist arm, it look like a tattoo, it had a picture of how the world will end and when I looked at the ground the world was starting to end now, and the 10 commandments kept appearing one after another saying though shall not..., then after this student was hanging out with me at my house she was sitting in the couch and she just died... what does mean?

Some people seem to have an acutely Manichaeistic viewpoint, where, if you're not "for God", you're in league with Satan, or are at minimum duped by Satan. With these people, simple atheism instantly makes you evil. This tends to upset atheists---it's a grossly unfair libel by association.

It seems to me that the evidence for a personification of evil is far weaker than evidence for God. I mean the "there must be God because snowflakes are beautiful" argument is not entirely vacuuous---there are snowflakes, and they are beautiful, and behind that beauty are physical laws whose origins are not entirely understood.

But evil---I don't doubt the existence of evil---is done by people. There is, it seems to me, far less evidence for a supernatural agent of evil than for a supernatural agent of creation. In fact there is no such evidence whatsoever. So why do people believe in a personification of evil?

To root out evil, isn't it better to understand its true origins?

Birds do not have teeth. And if a fossil of a "bird" with teeth were ever discovered, it would be classified as a transitional fossil. Yet, ironically, scientists are able to manipulate the genes of a chicken, so that it grows teeth - something chickens had earlier in their evolutionary progress. (have seen the photos?) http://images.livescience.com/images/060222_chicken_teeth_02.jpg

It also convinces me that...

For an animal to mutate back to a previous state does not require slow and gradual evolution, but rather, can happen in one generation. So for a person to be born with 8 limbs (like a spider), or sprout wings (like a bird) is no longer science fiction.

The Kingdom of Heaven is not entriely populated by good or Satan and other fallen Angels could never have lived there before being cast out.

Souls too which are good enough to be in heaven will not all be equally good. Some may have just scraped past the test while others will have passed with flying colours.

So given a very mixed society, densley populated with the souls of billions of people who have died since time began, what is going to make it any better than living on Earth?

Is it likely that the soul of a caveman will get on well with the soul of a computer geek. Will there be problems with the neigbours leading to further divine judgements in the highest court in the universe and more sentencing of lost souls to the penal facility of Hell.

Whats the point in going there. It seems pretty much like Earth.

Can anyone in their right mind say "that's what the sharia law says"?

How on earth can laws made in 7th century be applied to modern day society? What is wrong in a woman being seen with a male who is not her relative? Can somebody answer with some amount of logic (without quoting suras)?

I'm a socialist and sympathetic to many causes like the Palestine, but incidents like these make me believe that Islam can bring nothing but horrible things to our society
