    Does God exist?

    Yes we have a superior ability in this regard, but I think this alone doesn't justify the biblical position of environmental stewardship, or demand that humans should have any rights over animals. I acknowledge what you're saying to be true, but I fail to see the religious implications or...

    Does God exist?

    Obviously the reasons for this aren't arbitrary. The implication of what you've said here is that if evolution were true, all animals should have all the same abilities. Or at least, there should be no ability that is not seen in two or more species. Which is absurd. All species develop...

    Does God exist?

    The burden of proof lies on he who asserts the premise, not on scientists to disprove god is behind this relationship. Regardless, this is a very weak sort of god created by this premise, not very threatening, as it doesn't propose or necessitate that god is any sort of moral actor. And the...

    The right to have sex with an animal??

    Why are we allowed to enslave and kill animals. But having sex with them is considered abhorrent? It's the old moral panic about sex, there are clear instances where sex with an animal causes no harm, certainly less harm than captivity and slaughter causes to many animals.

    Does God exist?

    The first two premises are disproven, modern physics has many examples of bodies being moved without any moving body influencing them. The third cause doesn't explain why god should not be contingent on anything else. On the fourth premise, it is not evident that simply because we can conceive...

    Obama's Oslo Speech

    His actions are opposed to their creed, it's disingenuous to pretend they can be reconciled. He has previously stated "You know, I think that it might be Gandhi, who is a real hero of mine," For a supposed hero he doesn't make any great effort to emulate him.

    Obama's Oslo Speech

    I'm not advocating ghandi's ideology. I don't understand it well enough to determine when violence is and isn't appropriate. I just think the name dropping is dumb, and he's invoked by people who's morality he would have been opposed to in life. As far as I understand, ghandi would...

    Obama's Oslo Speech

    His appeal to gandhi and king is pretty retarded, offensive even, since gandhi at least would have been disgusted by and absolutely rejected the principles of his speech. Everyone like to pay lip service to Gandhi, but no one treats his ideas with any moral seriousness, the revolutionary idea...

    Internet Democracy

    http://senatoronline.com.au/ I expect such a system would have mixed results. Potentially fullfilling all the wet dreams of the people who comment on news.com.au. More tax on the rich, more handouts, more protectionism, a world of violent authoritarian response to every problem. On the other...

    is smoking weed bad?

    The police would have to stop 40,000 average cannabis users from ever using again to prevent one case of schizophrenia in those who have no links to the illness.
