Cure? You speak as if existential approaches are negative, dreadful, or nihilistic.
I mean, sure there's an iteration of existentialism that is nihilist. But existentialism is generally pretty...
There's no "original" religion present today; they all take influences from the ones around them, from the ones that preceded them. Even ones with a living tradition like Hinduism or Chinese ethnic...
While I disagree with them, there are quite a lot of Neopagans that believe exactly that. A lot of the people that got the ball rolling for it in the 1960s, surprisingly, hold that view. They were...
Before I go any further, please take note that I am not trying to convince you that they exist. I have no reason to do so. I am merely explaining my perspective.
I may not have been clear about...
It's really just the way you said "theists" and followed it with dogma that's really quite specific to Intelligent Design and Creationism. Both of which are largely Abrahamic schools of thought. Most...
Thank you for generalising all of us based on Creationist Christianity. :rolleyes:
Religious beliefs, and this is coming from someone who is religious, are just opinions. And like all opinions, they are subjective interpretations of the things we experience. Any of them might be...
Theism is the belief in a deity or deities. Atheism is the lack of belief in such. There are multiple forms of the latter, ranging from lazy disregard to aggressive contention. It's the difference...
I believe gods exist. I have had personal experiences involving them, but those are subjective. Proof for me is not necessarily proof for others.
Eh. Sure. Dogs are fun animals. Dopey and stupid, but fun.
No. Dog pee is a hard stain to get out.
I don't have kids. For one, I'm too young, and second of all, children are brutal and...
Why the what in where when whizzle?
Why is the sky?
:p
Seriously, Master Shake has good philosophical quotes. ATHF pwnz.
He's okay. He's supressed what he considers to be threats to his power, but so have all absolute rulers. He's done some major social reforms for Cuba, and his reign has definitely been better than...
From a timeline where Lord Byron becomes King of the Hellenes.

LIES! HE'S A SITH!
:p
Coup it, then. Pull a Louis-Napoleon. :D
No they're not.
Cats are better IMO. They're stealthy, independent, complex, and intelligent creatures.
Dogs are doting dopes fore the most part.
Well, just look at them. They are completely different in shape and size. They're not even from the same planet.
Impossible. War will never end, it is a basic part of human nature. And it is impossible for an active being like a human to live for 1000 years. For something to live that long, they have to be VERY...
Sorta. When people try to say that Bush invaded iraq purely for his self-interest or that he's some kind of absolutist...I mean, really, he's not that smart. He's too stupid to be an effective...
Nope. Thought it up a year ago.
From my samurai story. The half-yokai general of the Uesugi army, Yoshiro Tetsukari, as a young man, killing the Daimyo of the Hojo Clan, Ujiyasu, and devouring his...
Lunatic and a liar. Gods don't exist.
They're two completely different species. Not even within the same group. The only reason tigers and lions can mate is because they are of the same genus, Panthera, and thus basically the same except...
