Don't forget those great atheist bastions of freedom and socialist workers paradises- USSR, China, Cambodia. Together their wonderful examples of freedom from religion brought about @100 million deaths in the 20th century. Maybe we'll be even luckier in this century and kill half a billion when we finally manage to wipe out every trace of a belief system. Can just imagine all those greenies salivating at the thought of all those dead people. Fertilizer for the trees and plants and room for all the animals.

76How do you see the world heading if all religion was eliminated?
by Guest with Questions inmany, like dawkins, think that religion is the root of all evil.
hypothetically, if all religion was eliminated and all people stopped believing how would you see the world in a few years?
with atheism on the rise do you think that society will improve or deteriorate?.

Quantum Universe
by undercover inan acquaintance was telling me about how there have been some new discoveries in quantum mechanics and that "everything we know is going to change", his words.
he said that these top scientists and physicists have already met with the world's top religious leaders and explained to them what they have discovered and how it will change everyone's perception about reality.. i'm not all that informed on quantum mechanics and all that scientific mumbo-jumbo other than to know that some people believe that there are parallel universes and that it might be possible(?
) that we exist in different universes at the same time.. from what this guy was telling me, i gathered (i think) that reality and our perception of reality is based on nothing tangible except information.

You can find some good discussions about what you are talking about at the pages above. There are also a lot of good links there to Lambert Dolphin's library. He is a retired physicist who has written a lot of physics related "stuff". I really enjoy his material.

Diamonds, Are They a Scam?
by Satanus inwatching the history channel on all the effort, expense and equipment that goes into mining them, cutting and polishing them, the above question occured to me.
so, except for industrial uses, what is it about them?
i mean, as far as looking at them, glass worth less than a nickel can look the same.

DeBeer's has an almost worldwide monopoly on diamonds. They buy up all the available diamonds and have huge rooms where they are stashed. Billions of dollars worth. I saw a documentary @10 years ago about this. They only allow a certain number of diamonds on the market each year to keep the prices artifically high. I have refused to buy real diamonds for that reason and have seen and bought very beautiful CZ diamonds forincredibly cheap prices compared to the price of real diamonds. They are just as pretty, and in some cases the CZ's are much prettier than the cheaper real diamonds.

If science could let you live forever, would you take it?
by Paralipomenon inan ethical question for theists.
if science started to make some progress in extending our lifespan and eventually made a breakthrough that halted the aging process, even able to reverse it.
would you accept such a treatment, or allow yourself to grow old and die to take a chance at an afterlife.

No. The thought of WORKING forever turns my stomach. Can you envision a workforce of 200 yr old people? You'd never be able to retire. You's always be someone's "slave". Especially if they couldn't guarantee that you'd be young and vigorous forever. Who wants to live forever if you are old and falling apart slowly?

Remember the WT angle in.... "Do you have a purpose in life?"
by Gregor inreveals the type of person they are fishing for.
people looking for someone to take over, people who have f'd up their life so bad they are desperate for someone to tell them how to tie their shoes.
in short, the wts is looking for people who are vulnerable to an authority figure cult.. healthy people asked this question would laugh in your face and tell you to get lost.

I remember reading their lit that posed thid question but they never really answered the question. Went on and on about everything under the sun but gave no clear answer to the question. By the time you got finished reading the material that went off in a thousand different directions you forgot what the question was.

Would U Be Offended If A Lesbian Couple Showed Affection in A Public Place
by minimus inin missouri at a ihop, a lesbian kissed another female (her gf) on the cheek, once while sitting in the restaurant.
the manager went over to the ladies and told them they were not welcomed there and therefore had to leave.
the women described the kiss on the cheek as a similar type of kiss to an "uncle".

I am offended when anyone displays affection in public- hetero or homo. There is a time and a place for that and in plain sight of God and everyone is not the right time or place.

Execution if there has been physical violation of the sexual kind. Life in prison, without chance of parole, for fondling or child porn or other types of molestation.
