  • Christianity: immortal soul
    Yes, destroyed and tormented. Yet still in existence. In some variations, the soul is reborn in the process.
  • IQ and education
    It should be universal.
  • IQ and education
    I was thinking empirically valid tests, such as WAIS or Stanford-Binet, ect. But that could be fun as well.
  • Freedom from Menticide
    Thank you. I'm glad to see you saw merit in the post. And I have hope (which is a rarity in itself for me) that the quoted excerpt should come to fruition. Especially in this generation (mine). It's part of a larger piece that I'm currently working on. So hopefully it can begin on a molecular level.
  • Sin, will, and theism
    I find this quote by Richard Dawkins to be insightful: "An existing god therefore would not be a being greater than which a greater cannot be conceived because an even more formidable and incredible creator would be a god which did not exist."
  • Freedom from Menticide
    I'll definitely take use of brevity for the next discussion I post. I browsed the other discussions and thought this might be a place for critique. Thank you though.
  • Freedom from Menticide
    I can see how it can be interpreted as such. I should revisit the piece and take that into consideration upon revision. I appreciate your candor.
  • Christianity: immortal soul
    I assume you're referring to the Judeo-Christian Bible. Yes, according to their beliefs, the soul is immortal. However, all religions are derivative of one another; it's not the first claim of immortal souls.
