I think the simple answer to the OP lies in my signature. Also note, "buddhism" is a largely varied philosophy and can in many contexts be atheistic. In sum, buddhists stay in their monastries and meditate. They keep within the bounds of liberty that society has provided and return the...

Well, obviously it depends on your 'degree' of religiosity... However, IMO, if you really are serious about your religion, you really have no choice but to be an ultra-social conservative (it’s commanded). It’s not something "minor" if you truly believe the "end times" are near...look into...

Iron consistently confuses evolution with abiogenesis. The point I am making is it is unrefutable that our species has been around for at least 100 000 yrs (estimate according to Gould) up to 250 000 yrs (Dawkins). Now lets examine your theology. If you reconcile your beliefs with the...

Cheers...yea the third point is yours. I guess I just get sick of heaps of quantitative students (maths or engineering) who also do commerce and feel they are far superior to anyone who does "arts" or something written. Sure maths is undeniably an important skill, but strong numerative skills...

The fact that we KNOW we evolved from lower species effectively between 100 000 - 250 000 yrs ago completely destroys any current religious paradigm. It's so embarrassing we still speak of it, never lone still have politicians who represent us believe it.

Just do the arts for interest sake...if you choose the right subjects (ie Politics) you get to argue with people and shut down religious conservatives. There is nothing more fun.

Finally, why wouldn't you study management and marketing if that was your interest area? Sure combine them with something else, but marketing is an extremely interesting field and if your legitimately interested in anything from advertising to organisational behaviour and change...

Ask yourself too- how many "Economists" or grads actually go into academia? Very, very few get PhD's...I know many grads with fantastic jobs who did very little and in some cases no maths (bar the university minimum). To work at the RBA you only need an honours degree- most friends who are...

So cynical... I generally like you as a member but you spout some career shattering info without much evidence... In sum, you arrogantly assume the only thing worth doing at uni is maths- also remember this, most people (whether good at it or not) find it shit boring and couldn't think of...

... What he said.

I'm close to writing you off as a pot-head.

Oh dude the rubbish you spout! Self-hatred... Note if you believe in a benevolent and just god, any of these "base instincts" are directly his production. Perhaps your position makes better sense under an atheistic worldview. Dangerous for the community lol. Well if it suppressed a...

What's essentially wrong with it. If you don't, your unconscious will. That is, you'll have a mad dream and make a mess. It is nature...hence for the god-believer, he definitely wanted us to.

^^ Oh how scary religion is.

Is religious "faith" contingent on language, Pwar? I know your the closest linguistics expert on here. I guess what I'm trying to drive at is, since the simple way to Heaven is "following the Biblical law and most importantly professing a faith in JC" is this not all impossible if we take...

That bitch at the end. Let's ship her off to Iran dressed like that... Hitchens ftw :)

There just words... Let's get all non-cognitivist. Without langauge, what is the purpose?

Well unless we get struck by a huge celestrial object, the end of our planet will be in ~ 5 Billon yrs when the sun implodes destroying our solar system. As Nietzsche said: "Once upon a time, in some out of the way corner of that universe which is dispersed into numberless twinkling solar...

lol sorry dude, I'm just blowing out that we are in 2009 and your legitmately talking about possession and spirits as though it is a known occurence... The mind-virus of religion strikes again.

Lol Pentecostals are nutters... Rolling around on the floor in a hissy fit, spitting out tongues and shit... Pretty much the same as an acid trip ey?
