Answer to:
Why is toilet paper white? Would you buy it if it was pink, red, black or brown? I've seen toilet papaer in a variety of pastel shades, green, peach, yellow etc, printed with little designs and even with money style images, but white is cheaper, and considering what it's going to be used for, whether it matches the colour scheme in my toilet is irrelevant. I wouldn't buy black or brown, the others I'd consider as a novelty.

Answer to:
Why am I considered a supporter of abuse if I feel a spouse CAN be justified in hitting some cases? Because you are supporting abuse, and trying to justify physical violence against someone who has not initiated that violence. Violence in self defence is acceptable, but not desirable, hitting someone to calm them down is counterproductive.

Did you know that espousal of atheistic views was rare in Europe during the Early Middle Ages and Middle Ages...... Yes, because it would most likely result in death, as would claiming that the Earth orbits the Sun, or believing in the wrong god, or believing in the right god, but in the wrong way (aka heresy), or simply being accused of being a witch because you were old and owned a cat. The middle ages were quite a savge time, no less so because of religion.

What is the likelyhood of a demon returning after it has been cast out? Since believers in demons seldom understand that a demon is a mental illness, and therefore are not able or qualified to treat said illness, it is highly likely to 'return', since iot never actually left in the first place. Demons are a primitive superstition, they are not supported by any genuine evidence whatsoever, in fact it wouldn't shock me if they contravened the laws of thermodynamics,...

In either case, it's waste of time and money that could be put to better use helping the needy. But then, religion gets away with it, so why not TV?

In short, unless you're a republican, nothing you do will be right in the eyes of Obamas critics, even though he has raised his countrys reputation from the grave in which GWB buried it.

Your son has realised that he's no longer the baby, so he's attempting to regress, it's perfectly natural behaviour. That said, it would not be a good idea to start breast feeding him again, you may want to appeal to his vanity by saying that he's a big boy now, or to his empahy, by saying that you only have enough milk to feed one child, and he wouldn't want his brother to go hungry.

What is the differance between Black Magic and White Magic? Black Magic is a brand of chocolate box manufactured by Nestle. With regard to the practice of magic, there's no such thing as either black or white magic, since even a well intentioned spell may have unforseen negative consequences and vice versa, which is why you need to sit down and have a very deep think before you try.

Answer to:
Should I use Black Magic to take revenge on someone? If I do what will most likely happen? Most likely, nothing, unless you let them know what you've done and they are gullible enough to worry about it to the point where they attribute every misfortune to your 'curse'. This is a risky thing to do however, since the social and legal ramifications could be far more damaging to you than your target.

Does "Everything is a possibility demands something that is not" make two universes.. one where it is'nt and one where it can be got? No, it simply highlights the possibility that another universe may well exist parrallel to our own where these things might occur. What is possible within this universe is likely to have occurred, which is not to say that anything is possible, just anything that is possible within our universe.

Answer to:
I love god, do you? I find it difficult to feel any affection for such a vain, capricious, cruel, judgemental, childish and above all, murderous being. Luckily, it is highly unlikely that he even exists, if only the same could be said for the torture, abuse and genocide perpetrated in his name.

Answer to:
When it comes to God, what don't you understand? Why so many people cannot see through the obvious lies and bluster of people who claim to know what he wants, needs and thinks.

However, there is not one speck of genuine, verifiable evidence in favour of a global flood, not just in the biblical era, but throughout the history of our planet.

What do u think about the idea that when our bodies die, our minds in connection to all of life live on, and that until our soul/minds have completed all its lives, once 1 life in a particular body has ended,it will live on earth again in another body? In general, whenever anybody living tries to tell me what will happen after I die, I get a strong urge to start making cuckoo calls. Nobody, absolutely not one single individual, knows what will happen after we die.

Answer to:
GOD, some think GOD is male, I also think the same way, because all things are done in our body by male parts, like right hand, even in female body she uses her right hand, what you think, is he male/female or mix of both. I think you're not playing with a full deck of cards.

News flash folks, Jesus died quite some time ago, and nobody honest, rational or sane has heard from him since.

Do you think that wealthy corporate executives ever feel guilty that while they live a life of luxury, there are many people who are poor? About as much as the current occupants of vatican city feel about being fantastically wealthy, covering up for paedophiles, hoarding property that may have belonged to holocaust victims and preaching against one of the most effective preventative measures againt the spread of HIV/AIDS in poverty stricken African states.

Actually cannabis has been a contributing factor in the deaths of many people, partly because most users smoke it with tobacco, the effects of which are exacerbated by the presence of cannabis. In my opinion, all drugs, including alcohol and tobacco should be legalised, taxed and regulated, thereby reducing the burden on the justice system and reducing income for criminals and terrroists.

Why do doctors' offices still use those archaic scales to weigh patients? What if your accountant still used an abacus? Or a typewriter? Because electronic scales are more prone to failure, need to be calibrated more frequently, cost money to run and can be fried by an electrical fault. If the best tool for the job is an old tool, why change?

Answer to:
How much validity does the Bible have? Do you believe any/all of it? Why or why not? In the same way that email hoaxes dupe people into believing that they are true, the bible contains provable events in history and mixes them with fabricated stories, in oreder to garner a spurious sense of authenticity. Some of it is believable, some of it is ridiculous and the rest is plausible but unsubstantiated, none of it should be taken as absolute fact until proven otherwise.

Would you buy cigarettes for somebody underage?I do for my brother who's 16 - think he should be able to decide if he wants to smoke by now. I was 15 when I started and had to get someone else to buy them too No, I would never buy cigarettes for anyone, never mind someone who is legally underage, that would be despicable, not to mention hypocritical, since I'm a non-smoker, and obnoxiously proud of it. You are being stupid and irresponsible with your brothers health, I hope you get caught, it's a shame the idiot/s who bought cigarettes for you weren't caught.

Answer to:
Are we living in the End of Times, or is it just the Beginning?

Someone asks a question and receives proof along with the answer. Yet the someone continues to keep asking the same question. Why? Deaf?

I like to think that I'm doing a good job of it!

Do you think that the Alien Characters on Star Trek were extremely farfetched in appearances? If they were Et's can you imagin them to look somewhat like those on Star Trek? Star Trek aliens were, and to an extent still are, restricted by the sophistication of special affects of their era, the only techniques available to the original series would have been makeup and possibly some prosthetics, the series made in the 90's were limited by their budgets to more advanced makeup and prosthetics. Thus, most of the 'alien' species depicted tend to be pretty much humanoid...

Answer to:
What is your view on religion? If you are an Atheist, state your reason for what you think. If you are christian, ect Please don't start arguing between one another, Just post a RESPONSE (not a rebuttal) as a comment (NO FLAMING) Nice stories, but regrettably, religion is also a great excuse for genocide, child abuse, terrorism, brainwashing and bigotry. The religious will often set themselves up as all knowing, paragons of virtue, despite copious quantities of evidence to show that they are no better or worse than the rest of us, and no evidence to show that their deity or deities genuinely exist.

Answer to:
Christians worship Jesus Christ because he is the Almighty God. How can the Jehovah Witnesses be Christian if they teach Jesus isn't God? Short answer, they aren't. Just like christianity and islam, they are an offshoot of the Jewish religion, evidently, gods word is so 'true' that people have seen fit to disagree with it and practice it in their own way, which rather begs the question, is it real at all? Given the utter lack of evidence in favour of any deity ever existing, I must say no, so it doesn't matter.

Funny, it might be that I live in the UK, but from my perspective, he's going out of his way to repair the damage GWB did to the USAs international relationships, in between trying to sort of the Gulf oil spill caused by lax safety regulations put in place by GWBs administration and two long running, costly, unwinnable wars, started by GWB. If that's your idea of a vacation, you can keep it.

Do you believe the world will end on December 21, 2012? Some people do, without any real evidence, I most certainly do not, any more than the last eight or nine 'end of the world' events I have survived to my knowledge, although it seems I missed a couple of dozen others, probably while I was laughing at the earnest 'warnings' being handed out by religious nuts promoting them.

Answer to:
isn't it ironic that people who swear aliens are real, absolutely refuse to even consider the idea that god exists? We can prove that life exists here on Earth, and that the universe is vast enough that it could very well exist elsewhere, so it is likely that alien life does exist. To date, not one religion has ever provided more evidence for the existence of their deity or deities, without using force or brainwashing techniques. Therefore the evidence, albeit circumstantial, is in favour of alien life...

Recent catastrophes have been exacerbated by the fact that human populations have expanded into areas prone to natural disasters.

It is plausible that some being somewhere has evolved to a point where it's intelligence supercedes that of human beings, but without evidence, we can do nothing but believe. In no way would this prove the existence of a god, but it would supply a reasonable, naturalistic explanation of the god myth.

Answer to:
Non-believers: Is it just in GOD you don't believe--or is it the very concept of a deity? Just curious. I believe in the concept, just not the literal being/s. There are thousands of gods, who have been worshipped with equal vigour to yours, throughout history, and they all have exactly the same amount of evidence in favour of their existence, none. It is statistically improbable that the one god you have chosen to stake your beliefs on, is the only one of thousands to actually exist.

Answer to:
Does it make sense for someone who does NOT believe in God--to demand proof of his existence? Extraordinary claims, require extraordinary proof, if believers claim that the existence of god is a proven fact, then it makes perfect sense for a non-believer to demand their evidence for doing so. Thus far, I have seen not one shred of evidence in favour of the existence of any deity ever, that is not better explained, and even utterly discredited, using scientific methods.

Answer to:
Why do people who believe in God think we all should - why not just leave us non-believers alone with our own opinions and accept that we don't want to be saved? Because their faith is so shaky, they need to convert others to their beliefs in order to convince themselves that they're not wrong. It's what I used to do when I was being brainwashed at school.

There is not much information about God and how he came into existance on His own in the Bible. Why? Intelligent responses only. I find it interesting how a bunch of bronze age mystics have written a book all about the most powerful being in the universe, and how the Earth was formed, but had no idea about the existence of the Americas or Australia. The biblical authors were ignorant of the reality of the matter, so they filled in some gaps with guesswork, thus was born yet another deity.

Atheist or evolutionist, How does the belief of a creator harms society? When you push on others and call it a science without any genuine evidence whatsoever and brainwash gullible people into believing it's true, when in fact it's a delusory and highly risible idea. It holds back the education of young people, rendering them less able to think rationally or deal with reality, as opposed to irrational mythology.

Why do old people hate computers and young people love them? Why is there such a big difference in opinion between the two generations? Younger people have grown up with computers in their everyday lives, older generations grew up with few, if any, computers at all. However, there are a considerable number of 'silver surfers', who are both mature and technologically savvy, the difference being, they have taken time to educate themselves about technology, and therefore no longer fear it, and as Yoda said, fear leads to hate.

No, because some parents would give permission for their children to do jobs that may put the child at risk, and beacause it can interfere with education. A sentence should be begun with a capital letter and the word you're looking for is 'allowed' not 'aloud'.

Answer to:
Is there any particular song/artist that might come on the radio, that you can't turn off fast enough? The first two to spring to mind are the theme tune to BBC Radio 4's 'The Archers' and all boy/girl bands. There are a number of pseudo-'punk' groups like 'Bowling for Soup' who bore me to tears, so I'll switch them off pretty quickly, but I won't rush to do so, just in case they've produced something interesting for once.

Answer to:
Why do people reject God in their lives? Usually because of the whiny, self agrandising people who promote him, but the utter lack of any evidence for the existence of any god ever existing does help. As far as archaeologists can make out, the ancient Egyptians had in excess of 2000 gods, and each one had as much evidence in their favour as christian, muslim and Hindu gods, not to mention any of the many thousands worshipped across...

I just swallowed a small but powerful round magnet, will i die? If you can swallow it, you can pass it out the other end, so unless you happened to dunk it into a vat of poison first, you should be fine. If you are booked in for a scan in hospital at any point in the next few days, you'd best inform them now, some scans use powerful magnetic fields which could cause you some trouble.

Do you believe life exists on other planets in other galaxies? There HAS to be some other lifeforms in the universe? Do you think they're as intelligent as us? Given that there are more stars in our galaxy than grains of sand on every beach on the Earth and atleast the same number of galaxies beyond our own, some of which are bigger than ours, I think it's a statistical improbability. It is highly likely that life does indeed exist elsewhere, but we can have no real idea what that life is like until such time as we discover it.

If a religion with totally crazy beliefs eventually turns out to be right about *everything*, would/could it still be considered a religion?

Who created space? Since space is an absence of matter, by definition it does not exist in any other capacity than as a concept invented by human beings to describe a place where there isn't any matter, or at least detectable matter. So the concept of space was created by humans, just like civilisation, religion and agriculture.

Answer to:
in what ways is organized religion like a black hole, and why? It isn't really, nothing can escape the pull of a black hole, whereas people have often escaped the strictures of religion. Likewise, we haven't produced absolute evidence for either black holes or gods, but theoretical physics has at least formulated a highly plausible hypothesis, unlike religion which is a 'believe it or else' philosophy without one iota of evidence in its favour.

Answer to:
Is the Trinity a mystery? Are we expected not to understand it, but simply to believe it?" You could ask that of pretty much every aspect of any religion ever invented. You believe because someone tells you to, not because you've examined any corroborative evidence.

Answer to:
How do Cults work so well? By the careful application of fear, cult leaders cultivate a 'them and us' mentality in their followers, who are often quite vulnerable people, and denigrate any non-cultists as being under the influence of an evil power, thereby giving the illusion of safety within the bounds of the cult. It's not too dissimilar to many religions, but more extreme.

Answer to:
Evolutionists: Where's the "missing link"? (Please don't say it's me) It's not just you, we are all links between our ancestors and our descendants, and it's always been the same, ever since life first evolved on our planet, it's not missing at all.

Answer to:
Why is the missing link so hard to find? It being so successful it produced us? When you find something that was missing, it can no longer be refered to as missing, because it isn't missing any more. The so called 'missing link' is a ridiculously naive supposition, predicated in the misconception that one species will suddenly give birth to another.

Answer to:
What exactly is "the missing link" supposed to be? It's supposed to be the perfect halfway point between humans and our primate ancestors, and is used, unsucessfully, by creationists to cast doubt on the theory of evolution. It stems from the basic misconception that one creature suddenly evolves into another, rather than evolving slowly, generation after generation over many years into a marginally different species. The fact that many...

How did the devil convince the world he didn't exist? That question is patently untrue, there are a significant number of people who still cling to a belief in the christian antithesis, therefore, the world is not convinced that he does not exist, despite there being not one iota of evidence to lend credibility to the idea. A more pertinent question might be "How did the devil persuade christians to do all of his promotional work?".
