Live a good life. If there are gods and they are just, then they will reward you for having lived a good and noble life. If there are gods, but they are unjust, then why call them gods? If there are no gods, well, then you'll be dead. But the memory of your good and noble life, lived well, will live on in the hearts and minds of your loved ones. And if the gods are all just a way to pers

Over the past 200,000yrs of our existence, Homo Sapiens have co-existed with at least 15 other species of humans (Homos). Some of whom we even interbred with. Most of us are part Neanderthal, unless we are 100% African. Some of us are also part Denisovan, unless we are 100% African or European. And even Africans, the first Homo Sapiens, are a hybrid between our predecessor, Homo Sapiens Idaltu (H

"once you bring 'mind' into the equation of nature, you bring God into the equation. The 'mind' of the laws of nature just must be 'God' in some traditional, personal sense. Otherwise, the laws of nature are just the laws of nature; meaningless, stochastic, reality." I don't think that's necessarily true. Einstein didn't believe in any kind of a "tradiational" personal

Unless and until Mormons muster the courage to white-out these racist, white supremacist verses from their racist, white supremacist scriptures, they identify with a racist/white supremacist ideology.

I’m fascinated by paradoxes, irony and absurdity, like Schrödinger's cat, which can be considered both alive and dead at the same time as long as it is not observed. The act of observation causes the quantum wave function to "collapse" into a definite state, meaning the cat would either be alive or dead upon observing what’s in the box.
