    Why do people believe in God?

    Yes, agnostics assert that whether or not there is a supreme diety or dieties is cannot be known. But they don't deny or believe either way. That's me, i guess. I don't believe in heaven or God. But I'm not egotistical enough to assert that I know they don't exist either. It's a bit like...

    Why do people believe in God?

    Believing in God doesn't make Him real either. He either exists or he does not. Belief (or disbelief for that matter) doesn't change that reality.

    'North Korean torpedo' sank South's navy ship - report

    I agree with you. A similar question is to ask whether the allies would have stood up to Hitler before the war started if they knew he had nuclear bombs. Nuclear weapons change everything. Kim Jung Il probably couldn't care less if Pyongyang gets nuked and the population dies, as long as...

    Why do people believe in God?

    Well my point is that it's easy to be a naysayer. However just because you assert that it is irrational to believe in God doesn't make you right. You have no idea. You just assume that there isn't one because you haven't experienced His existance. How far can to take the argument of...

    What is the meaning of ‘meaning’?

    Well this is simple: Meaning . . . broken down to it's roots: Mean, and ing. Mean as in not very nice and ing as in verbifying the word mean. So, the word meaning is to take sane nice people and turn them nasty by asking questions on discussion boards.

    Why do people believe in God?

    What is interesting both in Atheists and Believers is the voracity with which each tries to tear down the others stance. Having lived on both sides of the fence, I understand the arguments on both sides. What I dislike is when one side vilifies the other. In reality the believer cannot prove...

    Why do people believe in God?

    But you're missing the point and if you were christian previously you should know this. Believers aren't playing pretend. They believe just as you believe in whatever you believe in (evolution, big bang, whatever). The existance of heaven is as real to them as the moon is to you. I haven't...

    Why do people believe in God?

    That's what I think too. We humans have such a tight grasp on our mortal coil. Any concept that the end is the end is anathema.

    Why do people believe in God?

    So to summarize: 1) One can't prove the existence of God beyond any doubt. 2) One's belief in God is based on faith not proof. 3) Some have faith, and some do not.

    Iowa court orders relatives to exhume body of man who wanted his head cryogenically f

    Re: Iowa court orders relatives to exhume body of man who wanted his head cryogenical Gee, great, and what exactly are future doctors to do with a decomposed head. the man died 14 months ago. The judge that ordered this should be given the shovel and told to do the deed himself.

    Texas Doctors Opting Out Of Medicare At Alarming Rate

    To that I would add unreasonable expectations by patients and families especially near end of life. "Do whatever you can for my 95 year old mom doc!" Can't tell you how often I hear that one or something similar.

    'North Korean torpedo' sank South's navy ship - report

    Why do you think it would be fought conventionally? Even if it started that way, do you think the North Koreans would refrain from using their nuclear weapons?

    'North Korean torpedo' sank South's navy ship - report

    Oh no. I mean Tokyo. Don't think for a minute that the North Koreans will limit the scope of the war.

    'North Korean torpedo' sank South's navy ship - report

    Interesting, or nightmarish. I think humans are too good at killing each other to survive another world war.

    Scientists create artificial life form

    Wow, this runs the gamut of very good to exceedingly bad. Whatever it is, make sure it is killed with penicillin. Didn't that guy watch "I Am Legend"?
