Really, is that why you get christian communists? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian_communism Atheism isn't a philosophy, a religion or any other category you wish to put it in. It is merely the non-belief in a god or gods. I get tired of this old canard being trotted out time and time...

Please note that it is against forum rules to openly attack another member on Eupedia. You can call an arguement stupid, dumb or idiotic, but not the actual member making it. I know that in the heat of discussion and debate that you may well want to call the other an idiot, I have on many an...

I heard about this one the News today http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/education/7028639.stm It seems that the UK, or rather people in the UK want to go down the problems that teaching creationism causes in the US. Not only from Christians, but new Muslims to the country are starting to demand that it...

Some new members might have noticed that when they have joined and posted threads or posts, that the threads or posts have not shown up. The reason for this this is that the forum is currently having a lot of idiot spammers showing up and posting rubbish. In order to combat this all posts and...

I have recently discovered this band and thought that you might like their relaxing and slightly off beat music. Founded around 1975 by Simon Jeffes and Helen Liebmann it was a loose collection of other musicians that came and went depending on the music style. A mixture of folk, french and...

Are there any JMJ fans out in Eupedialand? A big fan myself and thought why not start a thread on him. Plus the fact he has just released a new album called Teo and Tea. To those unfamiliar to his work this album might sound very techno inspired, but consider that he has been going for over 30...

I was listening to the radio this morning and a news article came up on how French Prime Minister Guy Mollet proposed a union between France and the UK in 1956, and if that wasn't accepted for France to become a member of the Commonwealth and accept the Queen as head of State. Full Article Here...

How many people here like and listen to opera. I am a fan myself, with several favourite composers, but my favourite opera has to be Mozarts Don Giovanni. A wonderful black comedy I first saw with a cut down orchestra in the Swan Theatre in Stratford. Coming a close second is La Boheme by...

Sabro sans recent post on Christians wanting to hasten armageddon has got me thinking. Why do Jews, Christians and Muslims want armageddon to happen with such vigour? Are they that unhappy with their own lives that they must need the end of the world to make them happy? Just because a book...

I am from the county of Shakespeares birth, Warwickshire, and I am wondering which of the bards genre of plays and whic of those plays are your favourites, or do you even like Shakespeare. Far enough I live in North Warwickshire and my town, Nuneaton, is better known as the birthplace of George...

The Mediaeval Baebes I must mention this wonderful vocal group. They take medaeival songs and give them new music, usually because the old music has vanished into the mists of time, and they sound wonderful. They also do new pieces and give them that mediaeval sound. An all female group that...

I was wondering (maybe I have too much spare time on the road) how did you come too our set of beliefs? What made you become a Christian/Atheist/ Muslim/etc, or are you still searching? My own belief started when I was about 11 or 12. Up to that point God was something that I believed in in some...

The 20th century is seen as one of the bloodiest centuries during history. Two world wars and the collapse of the 19th century Empires led to dictators and tyrants coming to power and the slaughter of millions of people. I have listed the main ones, but other might be worse. For example Hitler...

I been thinking today (Too much time sat in traffic) that if you knew something from the past was an absolute truth would you tell people? For example: Take Islam. One of the many things that Islam will tell you about Mohammad is he was illiterate and the Koran was told to him by the angel...

I recieved these from my brother. I think a little humour in this section might help. Enjoy (and no burning down buildings!): Church Bulletins: Thank God for church ladies with typewriters. These sentences actually appeared in church bulletins or were announced in church services: 1. The...

recent news form the BBC: How does this measure up to the rest of Europe? Do you think that its is right for a young girl to keep this from her parents?

Just a curious question that came to me today. As some of you might know I am a lorry driver. The company I haul for is sub-contracted to a Swedish/German company, hence we get a lot of European drivers delivering or picking up. I also find the same at the larger companies I deliever to. I am...

Firstly I would apologise to anyone for doing this thraed first, but I felt that it is time for this subject to be broached. Mainly it is to carry on the discussion that has started in What does religion that nothing else can bring. At the moment there is quite a discussion concerned with Islam...

I can't find any specific thread on this, but it might be relavent. Today the US has excuted its 1000 person since the death penalty was introduced. See here Another reason is that two people on the forum have mentioned that they do not agree with the death penalty on recent posts. I wonder what...

This came up in another post by Tsuyoiko. If you believe in God, does it have a gender? In early religions and myths the Gods were female and male. In most cases the leader of the Gods was a male, although a few creation myths have the creator as either a female or a couple creating the world...
