Do you ever look around at the world and think "Yeah, the devils running it"? Nope. I think assuming that a supernatural being is the cause of a problem is sidestepping the issue itself. Bad things generally happen to human beings because of other humans. Whether it be through direct negative action or simple apathy and whether the motivation stems from greed, spite, ignorance etc - people are still the problem. I think it would be far more healthy for society to pursue...

Where did the proverb,"an eye for an eye "come from?I find it immoral ,offensive ,and inane. The proverb 'an eye for an eye' stems from a passage in Exodus of the Old Testament in the Bible (also of the Torah and Tanahk): "If any harm follows, then you shall give life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot, burn for burn, wound for wound, stripe for stripe.

Worldwide, 10.5 million children under 5 will die this year -- why aren't more people talking about this? Probably because the majority of people who aren't discussing it are those who haven't been directly affected by it. I think it has something to do with the psychological evolution of mankind. We're intelligent enough to recognise suffering and it's happening all the time, but often this suffering is ignored or overlooked. Why does this happen? I believe this stems from...

Why did prohibition in the US fail? I believe there were various reasons behind the failure of prohibition.

If I recall correctly, in New York there were far more Speakeasies during prohibition than there had been legitimate bars...

Between June 2005 & June 2006 nearly 200,000 British citizens chose to leave the country for a new life elsewhere. What do you suppose was theprimary reason(s)for leaving?

Due to the recent murder by gun of an 11 year old child in Liverpool, should the minimum sentence (in the UK) for carrying a firearm be increased from 5 years to 20 years?

Why do 14 teen year olds always hit on girls way out of their league? I think the idea of 'leagues' in terms of personal relationships is ridiculous. It may be somewhat naive to assume that many relationships between 14 year olds are based on much more than looks but still, if two individuals get on well and enjoy each other's company there should be no stigma attached to one flirting with the other even if the subject is more attractive (alas,...

What do you think is the most helpful passage of the bible? Galatians 3:28 "There is no Jew or Greek, slave or free, male or female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus." I find it useful in tackling the many Christian bigots I come across, although a few dismiss it. Curious how so many think they can pick and choose from their holy book in order to suit their racist, sexist or homophobic attitudes.

I believe everyone is responsible for their own actions and how they impact on other people but no one should be held responsible for something that occurred before they were born.

Well one key reason could be that atheists are only united by one thing, the fact they do not believe in God. There is no uniform belief among atheists in that one must spread atheism although many feel the need to. Since evangelism is an important part of many Christians' faith, it leads some to try and spread their beliefs in this manner but even so, the emphasis on proselytizing...

What are the best and worst things about the Internet? Best Things - Being able to communicate with millions of interesting people (not all at the same time!) from around the world and having access to an absolutely colossal amount of information. Worst Things - I would say child pornography/paedophilia[sp?], brain washing sites promoting cults, racism, prejudice etc, aiding thieves and terrorist, viruses, malicious software and programming.

As well as this, both actions are illegal at that age and a parent should not condone law breaking like this - it could lead to any amount of crimes or substance...

Answer to:
Is there life after death? One day we are going to die. Is that it? Work, work, work...die? I doubt that there is life after death but I can't really say there isn't because no one actually knows. I imagine that death is just like what it was like before you were born - non existent, void of conscience. It's a sad thought in a way but I don't see why death would be anything different to pre-life.

Answer to:
I know that the word slacks means pants ...but where in the world did the word slacks come from. Well since the word "Slack" in the English language means "not tight or taut" I imagine that the term slacks is derived from trousers that are loose fitting. As slacks is not commonly used in Britain I think the term probably came about in the USA rather than anywhere else.

I do not celebrate Hannukah but if someone passed me by and said...

The holiday may also come with non-religious moral connotations such as kindness and togetherness but at the end of the day it is a religious festival - 'Christ Mass'.
