    Atheists: Have you checked out everything before deciding on atheism?

    There is Vedanta, Kashmir Shaivism, and many other philosophies that are worth investigating. Without knowledge of these philosophies, how can you assume there is no god? You are not educated if you do not know what I am talking about. If you know nothing, how can you assume to know something?

    Atheists: Would communication between theists and atheists be better if we

    eliminate "god" from our vocabulary? Taoists say that giving name to the nameless is limiting and inaccurate. To try to define that which cannot be defined is an effort in futility. Would it not be better to eliminate the word "god" from our discussions and perhaps install another (but...

    Why did my verizon network map show 3 computers for one that connected to the internet?

    I recently discovered that there was a way to see what computers are operating in the house when I typed my ip address into the browser address bar.

    Atheists: If subjectivity is the only thing that exists, how can we prove anything...

    Atheists: I deleted my last question because it sounded like I was ranting. Just

    tell me: What is a god? I want to know what you do not believe in. Here is what I have been thinking about. I have studied Indian literature and they speak of a Universal Consciousness. It is all pervading and it is what we are. What we see and experience is a reflection in a mirror, a...

    What are the most violation notices in Y?A have you had?

    I get concerned when I ask a legitimate question and get a violation notice. I absolutely do not want to lose my Yahoo account. So how many have you had? Do insulting atheists and theists often get these notices because I notice there is quite a bit of insulting from both sides.

    Atheists: Do any of you feel there are holes in your views that cannot be explained by

    materialist science? Atheism is flawed. It does not explain many things. It is known that the universe was without life for several billions of years before you came along. There is no need for life in the universe so why does it exist? The universe could continue to exist with its chemical...

    Atheists: There are philosophies that explore the plausibility of the

    existence of God. Have you explored them? One that comes to mind is the Indian philosophy of Vedanta which says that there is nothing that is not God. You are God, I am God, yes, your cat is God. There is only One without a second. But the point of my question is...have you explored the various...

    How high to mount a 61" Plasma TV in large family room?

    I know it all comes down to personal preferences, but I'm wondering if there are any rules of thumb or guidelines for mounting a large screen plasma. In particular, the TV in question is being mounted BEFORE the cabinet underneath it is chosen. A low-profile stand to hide some of the wires and...
