2 AnswersPolls & Surveys5 years agoHelp: Need assistance identifying a certain kind of grass or lawn weed for writing purposes (see details)?
This plant grows very commonly in the southern US. It looks like a tall kind of grass, except it has a fork on top, like two spokes. Shaped like a V. What is this plant called?
4 AnswersGarden & Landscape5 years agoWhy do Christians in the US down on Muslims and Sharia when many of them advocate for American laws being based on the Bible?

13 AnswersReligion & Spirituality5 years agoHow can people in the year 2016 still treat the Bible as though it had all of life's answers, right down to the finest details?
They realize the Bible didn't give them any of the modern things they enjoy right? In fact, they only have many of those technologies because people rejected the Biblical view of the world.
23 AnswersReligion & Spirituality5 years agoDoes the Bible allow for accepting the possibility of extraterrestrial life?
I'm just curious how many Christians could actually entertain the possibility of life on other planets. Because you get these hard-lined literalists who think anything not in the Bible is to be rejected...
15 AnswersReligion & Spirituality5 years agoDoes the fact that everything consists of particles constitute a kind of oneness in the universe?
I m an atheist, but I m philosophically atomist. I think this is called particle or material monism?
9 AnswersReligion & Spirituality5 years agoWhat are your thoughts on Unitarian Universalism?
I'm an atheist, but I'm joining my local UU congregation in February because I feel the work of people of all worldviews coming together to change humanity is important, and I feel like the church is a place we put differences aside to cultivate and focus on that.

12 AnswersReligion & Spirituality5 years agoWhy can't people accept Odin, even when there are no ice giants, and the Eddas say he killed them all? Its in the Poetic Edda!?

Because even after this gay rights victory and statistics showing the majority supported it, evangelicals keep insisting the majority didn't
7 AnswersReligion & Spirituality5 years agoUltimately, is anti theism useful for advancing our species within a humanistic framework?
As an atheist, I have to say no. We may not agree with the believer, but if they aren't harming anyone in any way, it doesn't benefit anything to keep fighting.
6 AnswersReligion & Spirituality5 years agoWhat makes the Bible's claims more likely to be true than Homer's claim the Muses inspired his poetry- since neither are falsifiable?
God and the Olympians turn out to be unverifiable hypotheses of equal weight
