The WIN/Gallup End of Year Survey 2013 found the US was perceived to be the greatest threat to world peace by a huge margin, with 24% of respondents fearful of the US followed by: 8% for Pakistan, and 6% for China. This was followed by 5% each for: Afghanistan, Iran, Israel, North Korea. -LINK

Hello, welcome Smile

I'd consider it. I've made many videos which address many of the problems that are likely to occur. I've tried debating people before and no one has yet got past the very first hurdle, which is why I'm ignostic. The "debate" doesn't even start.
Feel free to send me a private message.
Please visit my website here! It's got lots of information about atheism/theism and support for new atheists.

Welcome aboard.  Good luck, have fun.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Welcome from the UK. I'd be interested in a conversation if you can provide a synopsis of your thesis and describe what you hope to get out of it. My profile will give you an idea of my background and values.

You say you're not interested in becoming too involved but surely you'll join us for a pot of tea? There are scones... Naughty

I too lie in wait for these discussions. There are a few things of concern in his/her OP such as 'reliability of translations' when I think he/she meant 'reliability of transmission'.

Yeah, that won't be happening. The PM system is for private conversation and the transmission of Staff communications. The forum proper is the appropriate avenue for discussion.

Welcome anyway, I look forward to seeing what you have to bring to the table.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

Welcome, Soldier, I hope you enjoy your experience here.

If you ever feeling up to discussing your views in open forum (which is what this place is for), you'll likely see me there. Probably starting with 'I don't assert that there is no God. You assert that there is. I am not convinced'.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.

Hope your reasoning is better than your spelling.
