    A world without religion...

    "People kill people" and rocks, knives, gravity(pushed of a cliff or building), poison, guns...etc...can make it easier. Tools always make things easier, thats why they call them tools. In the interest of full disclosure–I collect and own many, many firearms (most 80-130 years old) and not...

    A world without religion...

    You don't think people were killing people before guns? Of course its people killing people, the method has changed, but ever since Grog hit Gorm with a rock and saw that Gorm dropped dead and stopped stealing Grog's girlfriends...its been people...not rocks, clubs, water (drowning), hands...

    Does this Image Prove Life on Mars?

    They are slightly reminiscent of the Nazca lines, but look more like natural processes. I'd have to vote no. I suppose if the Martian alphabet were character driven like the Chinese, one symbol could mean a lot. Like...This is my steak, you dick!.

    Barack Obama,,

    John McCain was to be allowed to leave his Vietnam prison cell and go home (sons of important individuals were often allowed to leave and John McCain's father was an Admirals in the US navy). He refused to leave his fellow prisoners behind and chose to make theirs and his P.O.W. status front...

    Barack Obama,,

    Too bad he has been attending a church for the last 20 years where the minister is clearly a racist (and worse) . Either Obama believes the nonsensical swill that Rev. Wright vomits up, or he is too weak to speak out against such racist bullshit. Rev. Wright coming out for Sen. Obama is the...

    March 2nd Show - Dorothy Izatt

    I just watched the DVD yesterday and thought I might comment about some aspects of the documentary that seemed to positively affect Dorothy's credibility. 1. There were several members of her family that initially seemed very skeptical of Dorothy's claims and if they had been able to "out"...

    Watching Banks Struggle Is KIND of Good

    Another serious problem with a worldwide depression is that governments typically find arms races, and military subjugation of "enemy" nations a great way to jump start their national industry. Even though the US was slowly limping its way out of the depression by 1939, selling arms, ships...

    jpg photos are the bane of modern ufology!

    I suspected as much. Seems that people who were truly interested in "full disclosure" would be disclosing. Seems about par for the course in this field.

    jpg photos are the bane of modern ufology!

    I keep looking on the web for decent historical and modern photos of UFO's. Most currently available photos are low res 1-2mpxl photos (or less) in a jpg format that have either been shot on a crappy cell phone camera (with a lens the size of a pin head), or been shot on a digital camera in...

    What personalities in the Ufo field drive you nuts?

    I remember an old episode of Hill Street Blues when they put a homeless man on the stand during a murder trial. He gave the most vivid, believable, and powerful testimony swaying each and every juror to believe his testimony. Then as the prosecutor turned around and walked away in...

    Question for you Religious types

    The first day of ethics class (oh so long ago) someone asked, is there a philosophy that if universally applied would make us all get along? The answer was...What do you mean by get along? Philosophy is not a discreet object like your Volkswagen, we have to agree that there are fuzzy edges...

    Question for you Religious types

    Tony, Thats all you got out of my comment on the Vegan mentioned in Mikes Post? Mikes friend thinks anyone who eats meat is EVIL. I said anyone who doesn't eat meat is living in defiance of a few million years of evolution. If I choose to live in the way my upper paleolithic hunter gatherer...

    Question for you Religious types

    Good and evil are different things to different people. Lets examine... Rarely around the world do you find situations in which good and evil are radically disagreed upon. Despite huge cultural swings and 10 thousand years of social change we all agree way, way more than we disagree on good...

    Question for you Religious types

    A few random thoughts and answers to my detractors. I am not a new ager. The ancients I am referring to are several greek philosophers, it was recognized as part of roman law, Thomas Aquinus spoke a great deal of it, C.S. Lewis makes some great arguments about the nature of moral law, and...

    Question for you Religious types

    Brandon, Here is some evidence that the ancients believed gave evidence for the nature of God. BTW...this is a very very difficult subject to talk about in such a limited way as sound bytes on a bulletin board but here goes nothin'. The ancients believed in something called the law of...

    Question for you Religious types

    Underdog, assuming what you say is true about time it doesn't change anything really. Imagine a situation where you find a way to communicate directly with God. You ask "Hey, God, what I am going to be doing 5 years from today?". How God knows the answer to that question doesn't matter. If he...

    Question for you Religious types

    Fitzbew88, Nice...just nice. I remember having a discussion once with someone about the nature of God and they were saying: "If God were the all powerful architect of the divine plan then how could there be freewill, because if God knows the outcome of all actions then I am not acting...

    Question for you Religious types

    Why can't the divine plan be as simple as " I want you to know me as your God and creator, love one another, and do as much as possible with the cosmos I created"? This means in the universe that you and I know as consensus reality we should pray (communicate with God), explore all of...
