    What is the purpose of religion?

    It's not required for morality or spirituality because it has no exclusive hold on the subject matter, there are different and I think better ways to approach those two subjects. That was my point in regards to it being not necessary in this day and age in that specific context.

    What is the purpose of religion?

    Incoming long reply but I would ask that you read it as I've got something to say about all the points you've raised. First, you say "Aggressive Atheism" is bad as religious extremism. That's a load of hogwash. We atheists, agnostics and even deists (not to be confused with theists) do not fly...

    What is the purpose of religion?

    Well you just said it there didn't you? We have science for explaining the world and the cosmos but religion for self-improvement/morality (which I disagree with and have given my response to on the previous page). If you are separating the two in their purpose, why do you claim that religion...

    What is the purpose of religion?

    Then I rest my case. If truths are to be taken without any means of testing or evidence and on blind faith alone, for which no explanation is required, the conversation becomes entirely pointless. You have just proven that this form of truth seeking has no merit whatsoever.

    What is the purpose of religion?

    Taking on beliefs and ideas without any testable means or any evidence, peer review and scrutiny is not what I call "seeking and explaining truth". It is blind and unwarranted, hence the term faith. Foxi4: If we are to start debating on whether God or gods exist the burden of proof lies on the...

    What is the purpose of religion?

    What is the purpose of religion? That's rather hard to answer because all the men that authored the organized religions are all dead. What does religion do? This is a question that we can deliberate over. I think religion is a force of evil, an insult to human decency and our native morality. As...

    F**KING YOUTUBE

    Ah yeah, that stuff. Right. But that's so common place and we've been able to do that with mods on vBulletin well before Facebook was around. At least you don't see anyone's status message unless you go to their profile page so it completely went over my head.

    F**KING YOUTUBE

    I wouldn't say the site looks like Facebook. It just looks hardly modified from the default theme of xenForo which follows a minimalist style. I've got facebook open in another tab and I don't see the resemblance to the forum. PS: Your name could fit into one line but it would require small...

    Nintendo blocking 18+ Wii U content in Europe

    Stupid laws everywhere. In this day and age where 3 year olds have iPads and what have you, how is this being effective all around? It just seems to inconvenience a large portion of customers. If little kids are browsing the internet, they'll come across some weird or inappropriate stuff...

    Whatcha gettin' for Christmas, BRO?

    I've always been inconvenienced by xmas since I know no one that celebrates it. Instead, everything closes early on the 24th, nothing is open on the 25th, etc. So yeah, it's only a birthday but limited with every store and service closing real early. I will, however, keep that suggestion in...

    Whatcha gettin' for Christmas, BRO?

    21st birthday is on the 24th so like a good lad, I'm gonna snort some heroin and jerk off like Eric Clapton. No, but I'll be getting whiskey and rum and spend the 25th asleep in a pool of my own vomit.

    Possible Star Ocean V News Soon

    I can't speak for everyone but I don't hate the game. I did put in over 100 hours but I've got a long list of grievances. The voice over was imbalanced. I did like a couple of them actually, but certain characters, when they opened their mouth I wanted to just choke the life out of them. It hurt...

    Possible Star Ocean V News Soon

    Considering I've only played 3 and 4 I'm at odds. I found 3 to be fantastic with character and story. 4 felt like an absolute mess. The characters were dull and uninspiring, it's as if they stuck their hands in a bag of anime cliches and pulled out whatever came out and mushed it all together...

    F**KING YOUTUBE

    There is so much empty space on my widescreen. The right half of my monitor is completely blank and I have to look awkwardly at the left to find anything. Full screen seems to have gone right over their head. It looks so... primitive.
