Why materialists are predominantly materialists

It needs it - really.

Don't they take that 30 posts thing seriously? I'm new to this forum stuff and don't want to be a "rule-breaker."

Okay - here - I'll live dangerously!

Okay, now can you answer the questions you've been presented with while we read this?

[Jesster]

Wow, you know what? Never mind on this site. It's a library of videos. Do you really expect us to watch all of this just so we can talk about it with you? Sum up the parts that were convincing to you and I'll bother replying to this.

You know what? I think you have not only broken the forum rules by bumping your post count but you have also disrespected the forum since your only motivation seems to be to promote your website rather than engage in conversation and form relationships with AF members.

Now I don't even want to read your (presumably) shitty website.

Sorry if the ideas I've been thinking about for 40 years won't fit in this box. There's no other way to explain them. I have not been "rushing" to post it and, perhaps mistakenly, allowed myself to be swayed by requests that I do.

If you can't describe what you personally believe and why, don't expect us to engage in a useful conversation about it. Posting an extensive website full of videos that will take far too long to sift through is a terrible format of conversation.

You could start by answering the questions that have been left for you.

I dunno, the site looks very interesting and thoughtful to me. However, I really think you should make a *single!* new thread, and start with just one or two ideas or videos, and take it from there. Personally, I'd recommend the Philosophy section rather than the Atheism one, unless you are arguing that materialism is intrinsically linked to atheism or something.

--edit--
I watched the first video. That could definitely be a very long and involved thread just in its own right, and I personally like much of what you had to say. I hope you are here to discuss ideas, rather than (as some have said) just to direct people on these forums to your own website. We've had some (I think) very good debates on materialism/physical or idealistic monism/dualism or pluralism, etc. on these forums, and I think you could make a good contribution.

Thanks, Benny - I'll try that.
