Believe or Not, Headscarve is a National Issue In France
Anything else is little more than debate with whoever is doing the arguing, an argument with an agenda to support what one or group, prefers to believe or not believe, but an agenda with anything but finding truth. The truth, however, is obvious to any one person that wants to find it.

Bigotry toward Muslims and Anti-Arab Racism Grow in US
Is this your position? Or is God a thing? And now the thought occurs to me, if a person claims in "believing nothing" (and God is a Non-thing) then that person is really saying, "I believe God." Delusional aside, is this irrational? You need not answer this, as it is not essential to my original question. --JWS.

To believe or not to believe...
Bad analogy...beliefs are not fetuses. One could believe that there is a 50% chance of something being true. We're not discussing the truth of a belief, One can either believe or not believe. One can't both not believe and not not believe. Things are not always black and white, there is usually a fuzzy area in

I'm not in the States by the way. You're obviously a sincere guy who has missed out on the subjects that many of us on this newsgroup are excited about, but we're not here to tell you what to believe or not to believe. We're here to refute some outrageously ludicrous claims about nature that are made by people who

Also how do I believe her? They never had sex. All of her posts were convinently deleted so I will never really know the truth and because of that I don't know that i will ever trust her. There comes a time when you just have to choose to believe or not. For me, for the longest time, the only 'trust' I had was that

In such a group I do not evangelise. If asked, or if my faith seems to be misrepresented, I will explain what I believe. But most of the time in that group I am sorry that it is so, but I do not believe that makes you a worse person than me. No, even if this irritates you, do I believe that you are loved any

Dirty Pizza Restaurants? Believe or not?
There are 5 facts you do not get: 1. No-one is obligated to answer the questions of, or argue with cynics who call themselves skeptics. 2. For the most part, people into the paranormal and astrology do not give a rats ass what you, or others of your cult-like mentality, believe or not. They defend URI GELLER,

It is quite true to say that because one *believes* something to be ...it does not establish that 'something' to be. Inofar as I seek to export what you think of as nonsense, it is only to willing listeners who always have the righ to switch off and/or walk away. It is true that my saying "I believe" does not

Argument Against Atheism (REPOST) - Actually against weak atheism
Again, happiness is irrelevant to the issue of whether you believe or not; or it should be. If your only argument for belief or lack thereof is that it makes you happy, then you are far too shallow a person to merit further discussion. I am happy and proud to be smart enough to be an atheist and want everyone to

Noah's Ark - Believe or not to believe???
The topic: The idea of atheism has the same logistical problem as theism in that there is no really consistent definition of exactly what it is that we might believe exists or not. The term 'god' is an umbrella concept of a supreme being that lacks in consistency from one application to another, and serves as a

Do you believe or not? Long Post
Astrology is not a religion or cult. Therefore faith is not required for it to function. It is a subject that can be known and is operationally obvious once it is learned. Hence the concept of believing in it is an effect of the mis-perception of what it is. We cannot believe or not believe in something that we

Cambodian and Khmer are not exactly the same.

If such a person is not trustworthy in real life as demonstrated by his/her actions and is by and large considered "evil", why would one believe that person's written words?
