Mabel replied to Brittany Mezzo's discussion 'My Thoughts on Why Some Don't Give Up Religion'"Then, if you beleive that God does exit, begins the process of trying to discover if any one of them, or none of them is true.@ Trevor - Then begins the process of becoming a scholar in each religion, to see which one, if any, rings true. Not…"

Trevor replied to Brittany Mezzo's discussion 'My Thoughts on Why Some Don't Give Up Religion'"HI Reg

Brittany Mezzo replied to Jaret's discussion 'Why do we stop evolution of the human race?'"Well, that's a good thing then, because it'd be miserable to enforce.
I'm actually kind of for putting those kids that are assholes in other classes. Going through school with immature teenaged boys who wanted nothing more in life…"
Brittany Mezzo replied to Jaret's discussion 'Why do we stop evolution of the human race?'"There's also the fact that it's not solely black and white; some excel in some subjects, but are lucky to make a D in another. I was always good with history and English, but horrible in math, no matter how much I studied and tried to…"
Brittany Mezzo replied to Jaret's discussion 'Why do we stop evolution of the human race?'"I will say yes...and no.
The people that are currently living deserve to live, even if they are living with the aid of other persons or the government. They still are people. However, I would not mind opting out of population control. If the…"
Davyd Ondrejko replied to Brittany Mezzo's discussion 'My Thoughts on Why Some Don't Give Up Religion'"Actually, many long-lived Eastern religions do not hold the promise of immortality ... at least not in the JCI (Judaic-Christian-Islamic) sense of personal immortality."

How can I exalt my intellect over a god that does not exist???

Mabel replied to Brittany Mezzo's discussion 'My Thoughts on Why Some Don't Give Up Religion'"Sin cuts us off from God, but we are left knowing instinctively that He is there.
@ Trevor - It's not instinct, it's neediness and wishful thinking, being hijacked by religion instead of something that can better meet needs which could be…"
Mabel replied to Brittany Mezzo's discussion 'My Thoughts on Why Some Don't Give Up Religion'"@ Trevor - You wrote: "Some things are true even if you don't believe them."
