I ask this question because well, the general view is that Buddhism is an Atheist religion but Buddhists believe in Heaven & Hell To me the notion is ridiculous - if you are not going to believe in an entity where there is no existence of any such, well there is no evidence of Heaven and Hell...

For those unfamiliar with the above names, as we all are, Ms. Ozturk(she is a student at Tufts University) was in the news recently, everyone might have seen the videos of her being approached by ICE agents, handcuffed and being detained. Her crime? Speaking out for the Palestinian cause - she...

Here, in the REAL WORLD, when we apply take a loan we are expected to pay it back We gave our word on it and are expected to back it up - except maybe if we have a student loan, that is I am a liberal but I did not agree with forgiving of student loans I myself, had a big loss once in the stock...

From time to time I have stumbled on a "Journalist" interviewing Religious heads, either on TV or in print and ALL the time the questions are the same, recycled over and over How happy will we be in Heaven? How wonderful will Heaven be? What is it like? Will we see all our DEAD loved ones again...

Here is an example as how our morals are so flexible https://iidb.org/threads/the-brainwashing-of-theists-exihibit-1-abraham-the-crazy-guy.29248/ Theists react one way when it is THEIR religion and do a 180 when it is some other - crazy!

The point of these posts is that just a simple change in a word, a name is enough to make people change their views entirely, drop all their morals, values! India banned the killing of cows a few years ago The western media threw a fit! They came at us full blast! Every article was from a Muslim...

If you were out on the street and come across a crazy guy brandishing a huge knife and screaming that God told him to kill his family you would be calling the cops to come lock him up! But tell Theists that that guy's name is Abraham and they will sing his praises & might even give him a gun to...

Our Pets get the good life, well, most of them do. Fed, Protected, Sheltered, Cared for, all for Free. And also kept in a nice bubble, away from facing the harshness of life. If they get injured or sick, their caring owners take them to the vet to get proper care. We see pet food commercials...

As Stanley Milgram has shown us, we humans are capable of some pretty disgusting and despicable acts I do believe all morals, principles and ethics are subjective, biased and self-serving I present Exhibit A - and I will have a few more as we go on Take Caste - Everyone agrees that it is pure...

1 - RW-Here Life is not easy. No one gives us anything, nothing is Free. H-Heaven is Given to the Favored, like in Corrupt, Dictator-led countries. Life is easy, everything is free! 2 - RW-Here we WORK for a living - to put food on the table, a roof over our heads, we PAY for what we eat, where...

If you hear the words, "Our Dear Loving Leader loves us all, he will lead us to great heights and prosperity. We live in joy and happiness. We only read his book and thoughts, all other books are evil, misleading and untrue" Can you tell if these words are the words of a frightened North Korean...

This issue is about the dominant religions and what they preach - they say that unless you pray to their God, you get hell. Your actions do not matter, all that matters is that are you with their God or not? If you are not with their God, he cannot save you. Do you want to go to hell? they ask...

I ran into a post where someone commented that he believed in Reincarnation and was immediately mocked as coming back as an animal - a cow or a dog. That reminded me of the same mocking that Darwin's work received - that we came from Apes. I know that the relation is tenuous, Darwin actually had...

I put this thread in this section because of my disappointment with those who talk, read and study morals and principles and yet remain silent when it comes to religion. As you know the great scientist Stephen Hawking passed away recently and reading some of the posts from people - anonymous of...

It seems the Florida shooter has come to his senses, he has repented his actions it seems. He is sorry for what he has done. So, once he dies, since he is repentant, does that mean God will send him to Heaven? And what if one of the students that was killed or the football coach that was killed...

Atheists might have dumped religion but most of them have grown up in a religious environment and are the residuals still there? I see some guy posting about Abraham's "willingness to sacrifice his son" etc and I think, "Am i the only guy to see a person ready to murder his own children here?"...

Whenever i hear of people saying that the love God, I think how is that possible? We have no idea if he or she or it even exists! No one has a clue what he, she, or it even looks like, no idea where He lives, what he wants - we have zero information. So how is that possible to love something...

We recently celebrated his holiday in the US - so the following incident is appropriate and a fascinating look into human psychology or morality or sociology - maybe you guys can tell me This happened with a co-worker of mine - about the same age - we got along well - an African-American & I am...

Trying out a poll on the 3 major different options that generally are known after death - what do you believe in? and what do you prefer? - Death is the end, Heaven or Reincarnation? I guess none of us would actually prefer Ceasing to exist but that is what the facts tell us and we can believe...
