    Thread: 'Is & Ought' in David Hume
Post: RE: 'Is & Ought' in David Hume

Post: RE: What made you become an atheist?

Post: RE: Quick Poll - Do you believe in God?
Consciousness can come about by matter because the brain, along with things like DNA and everything else in the body, are made up of inorganic material. It's just that there is a lot of information ev...

Post: RE: Ceteloguing the Tricks Theists Play
If you believe in a literal hell (not sure if you do or not), and that god does not call everyone, you are admitting that god sends some people to hell even when it is not their fault.
