Yea our minds have a tendency to remember the hits and forget the misses - when we think back 'were there alot of hot people at uni today...' we'll remember every single hot person we saw and forget about all the non-hot people we saw.

Ummmm how?

Exactly - Davin and Transcendent understand what I'm talking about... to actually analyse a religion - for our fairly 'scientific' purposes - we have to look at what the religion is in practice... make tangible observations... we can't just do an interpretation of a text or try to understand...

Singapore? No Crime? It's a police state where the people live in fear of being suspected of being against the government.

There actually is a space industry in Australia - what's he on about? I mean... there are so many jobs he could get with a degree in mechanical / space engineering and a phd in aerospace engineering? Something tells me that was a troll lolz.

If you want to throw a supernatural power into it than you can pretty much make any argument.... there is no argument I could make where you couldn't throw in this supernatural power as another alternative because it's supernatural. I've provided a natural falsifiable solution - there's a huge...

hahahahahhahahaha I really don't think I can top that...

You can't define it the way you want to... however you can give it an OPERATIONAL definition based on what observations about the religion currently (formed by its followers) is. I'm willing to use operational definitions.

No - I just want to see the study so I can find out exactly what it's saying - the study will have the names of the researchers for me. From your dot point tho it just seems to say stuff like 'short term memory loss' which isn't that shocking.

What is 'the whole religion' ? When you're setting out to define the whole religion, you can't say 'well look at the whole religion' because that's circular reasoning. Religion is a social construct, it's not like an atom or whatever if that's what you're getting at.

Well 'to the rest of the world' I give them a big ole finger.

What you have to do is actually cite us the studies so we can read them :wave:

I've explained many times how illogical that is... A religion requires a belief in a supernatural power - without that condition you do not have a religion. However of course if you want to broaden this definition, you can start to claim that pretty much anything is a religion... the government...

yes

Atheists and agnostics are not religious... saying that atheism is a religion is like saying not collecting stamps is a hobby. We can give an operational definition of the various religions so we can understand them and analyse them - you'd like to make religion this mysterious thing that...

I think it's really odd that someone would do a masters without finding out if that masters is actually going to deliver them anything... like... minimum research

Why doesn't she do that then? I don't get it, is she just complaining that she can't find an UBER-JOB?

She could always teach - right?

I'd also like to know her marks - did she have like a bare pass? When there's people who have done work experience, have high marks and they're still having trouble getting jobs... I'll seriously consider this.

So the law defines your ethics does it? If it was legal you'd have no problem?
