| Hi Keet, I just popped in on a whim, I hardly ever post visit this site any more. Some things never change, you are still bitching about people on here. Here's a tip, don't visit PPR. I stopped years ago, not because it was cancerous, rather all the folk I found interesting left, plus the debates ju... |

| I have not been on this site for quite a while but I see Lee is still spewing forth nonsense. What the heck are you on about Lee. GW is a rabid monotheist, you do realise that Allah, Yahweh and God are all the same deity its not like we are talking about Zeus, Poseidon and The Great Arkleseizure (ac... |

| I tend to agree with the OP. I am not convinced either way by determinism or free will and I think there is much more research to be done. If however determinism is true then we have a problem. What do we do with the people whose hand as dealt them a life that is not compatible with a free and relat... |

| Of course, I think the book is largely ridiculous. What I was originally saying was, that I'm just concerned that allowing for voluntary and mandating microchipping for certain individuals can form a precedent for eventual microchipping of everyone. This, coupled with calls for a one-world governme... |

| @op Somewhat confused do you believe god exists and you hate his behaviour beautifully summed up by Dawkins “The God of the Old Testament is arguably the most unpleasant character in all fiction: jealous and proud of it; a petty, unjust, unforgiving control-freak; a vindictive, bloodthirsty ethnic c... |

| ^ define atheist. Richard Dawkins would not be in that 25% as he rightly says one cannot absolutely say there is no God. As he puts it he is agnostic about God in the same way he is agnostic about the tooth fairie, therefore by critical definition he is an agnostic. |

| ^ nicely put. Research done on 'eyewitness accounts' show them to be highly flawed and it is incredulous that such accounts are given such a high status under the Law. I suppose it goes back to a time before brain and cognitive research were carried out and it seemed common sense to accept an eyewit... |

Depends on your sex, I doubt very much that the example above would even speak to a bloke let alone date one. Mor... |

| As I understand it the evidence strongly supports a flat expanding universe which will eventually succumb to heat death. But then that is only for the "known universe" who knows what lies beyond our grasp. It would be foolish for anyone to suggest they know anything absolute about the univ... |

| As Luan has said, prove your definition of good and righteous is valid, check your stats and confirm that you are not guilty of conformation bias. Even if the majority in your clique are religious, how have you determined that the groups you work for are equally attractive to both the theist and the... |

| Just because a thing may be "possible" does not mean that it "must" be real. There is an infinitesimal possibility that the Earth will spontaneously compress itself into a black hole. This does not mean that the event will actually occur. People need to learn the difference betw... |

So take Jesus for example, there are an infinite number of planets where he did/did not exist. There are and infinite number of planets where he lead his people from roman occupation, an infi... |
