Why cant people just accept that life is a mystery without inventing religion to account for it? My own personal journey has gone from being a 'born again' teenage Christian to looking into everything...
My mum's had the results of her bone scan today. Unfortunately the cancer is not confined to her arm (as hoped) but is widespread as suspected. She has to go back to oncology on Thursday and has to...
How do you think that you will view your life? You didn't exist for an eternity before you were born and you wont exist ever again. Will this make you have any kind of thoughts? Or is eternity too...
I may be wide of the mark here and only going on my OWN experiences with schizophrenics. But why is it that people who suffer from schizophrenia frequently seem to hear the voices of religious...
It seems to me (both on AB and in real life) that the reasons why religious believers and religious doubters differ in their opinions is because of the way that we process information. Either...
Just having a bit of banter while out on the van today about the drugs problem in the country but got me thinking a bit. Just how DO we define a drug in law? Tobacconists and off-licences are...
Well,

That's My way of dealing with an existential crises.
Ive just answered 3 posts in one
What could possibly go wrong?...
I posted a couple of weeks ago that my elderly mum has bone cancer. She was supposed to have carers in, in the morning (not a problem) and at tea time, between 5-7 pm. They have been turning up...
Having just reread through Naomi's post re: Jesus, I realise that all through my early church indoctrination, I never got any satisfactory explanation about the biblical character of Satan. I got the...
Theland hasn't posted for 10 days. Hope hes OK? I know he's had a few health problems recently. Come back Theland. R&S is dying without you.... (There's nothing for atheists/non...
My 85 yr old mum was admitted last Saturday to A&E. She had a really painful arm, (thought that she had broke it) an arm that was fitted with a metal plate 2 yrs ago after a fracture. After 13 hrs in...
Was reminiscing with my mum earlier.
Realised that I actually havnt got an 'earliest' memory.
Do you?
I find it odd that some people can pinpoint a memory and say that its their first....
Maybe should go in B&S, but not after advice or sympathy, just a general discussion. When my dad died 19 yrs ago, I felt very little in the time leading up to his death. I knew he was dieing but my...
I really am just curious here. Not wanting to be a debate or anything. But how many people here, (professing Christian or atheist...or somewhere in between) have actually read the Bible, in its...
Been offered a part time job after years of unemployment. Got to look into the ins and outs of it first. Even the person who offered me the job has told me to check out the facts first and make sure...
With respect, why do religionists spend so much time and energy posting vids for atheists to see? This is as ridiculous as me being on gardening, football, or cooking. Good for those who are, but...
I posted last week that I was attending my ex mother in laws funeral today (who died on xmas day) Wasn't particularly looking forward to it as my ex hasn't spoken to me in 7 years and blanks me...
I was asked by Theland (before he went off in a hissy fit) what was my problem. (presumably with Christianity) I don't have a problem despite what Theland may LIKE to think. So Just so I don't...
Not sure if I have an ingrown toenail. My big toe has been sore for some time (in the corner) but theres no swelling or redness. I had an operation to remove an ingrown toenail from my big toe on my...
