Christians have done it for years.

Yea I know alot of hillsong whores.

Well I don't know, perhaps if they had access to be taught it they would be able to accept it - I don't believe if I woke up on the streets of india all of a sudden I would find life too hard and evoke a god (possibly if it got hard to the point of madness). But for the purpose of this...

I see harm for the actual person, depending on what they have faith in. Now when it comes to something like just a belief in the afterlife, if this does not pervade into their real world thinking then I don't think there's much of a problem - I would claim that it would perhaps be better for...

Because they do hurt people. Deists usually have beliefs that do not really affect the rest of society, but most believers have beliefs that do affect us in the real world. There is a large portion of america which believes that the end will come within their life time... Just think of the...

Does this really give them hope and solace? I'm unsure, I don't know whether faith really puts people at ease with the world or if it's just a quick and easy buffer they throw up (much like a child that is a victim of sexual assault), however the grief still affects them just as bad as if they...

No dear, that's no proof... that's just a book that says some stuff and according to christianity it is intended to be a work of fact - Proves nothing of importance to the discussion. How quickly you have become a "bible bashing christian". As for your answer to what I said, what does it mean...

http://www.infidels.org/library/modern/theodore_drange/incompatible.html Does that cover it? This deals more with the properties of god.. but I imagine the same objections from you and counter-arguments will be raised.

I thought the tracks they put in were quite good, but I agree it wasn't put together in the best possible way. As for 'balanced'... it never claimed to be 'balanced' and in the face of the sort of religious propaganda that gets put out every day I really don't think it's going to hurt that much.

It was a popular movie to get out the message - I agree the ending was lame. On the DVD there is a whole bunch of historical evidence for each part of the film.

The Search for the Chimera - Princeton. Real Player: Direct Streaming 300kbit/s Direct Streaming 34kbit/s Windows Media Player: Steaming 300kbit/s Steaming 24kbit/s The beginning is just some random clips from different things (8 or 9 minutes), but then the proper lecture begins. He has a...

Oh ok, so this was 3 small businesses then - I was just trying to link together the idea that these reforms may only have much of an effect for larger businesses, not that it couldn't be applied to smaller ones just that it's something small business may not understand?

Um don't attribute that quote to me. funnybunny, I am aware of that... that is why I quoted dumsum and directed my question towards him.

3 per cent of businesses? Am I to presume these are the largest businesses... i.e. coles, amatil etc?

Wait a second? So you're essentially saying that everyone has equal chance of getting into heaven?

What a simplistic view of the world... we carve out our own meaning in our lives. What stupid logic... It is I whom value my life so much, I believe it's all I've got and it will be over in the blink of an eye. You believe when you die you continue on, so hows bout you kill yourself? Oh I...

Why does it have to be 'somebody'... I think 'something' is just as likely an explanation. We just say 'somebody' because that's the way human beings think, we build things... so whatever 'built' this must be like us too.

Yea I went too - It's exactly as Demandred says and it's useless... they make you write out a timetable for uni/home life etc... it's a waste of my time.

unfortunately by the sounds of things you're also gay.
