My real name is Eric and yes, that's me in my avatar. I try to answer every genuine, thoughtful question with a genuine, thoughtful response. Feel free to make friends with me here or anywhere else online. http://eric.metze.us Spiritually and politically speaking, I am a neo Gaian. It's not supernatural and it's not faith-based. If you don't know what that is, poke around here for a bit. http://neogaian.com Because the Yahoo's at Yahoo deleted my account that I've had for over a decade, I've had to start completely over. If this has ever happened to you, I would love to hear your story. http://yahoobias.info
How far away are we from having smartphones that can read fingerprints?
The technology to read fingerprints has been around for decades, and phones like the iPhone are extremely sensitive to touch. But how much longer will it be before we can set our phones only to work if the owner is using it?

And do these annoying trolls understand the concept of signal-to-noise ratio?
21 AnswersReligion & Spirituality1 decade agoWhat is the funniest religious joke you've ever heard?
It can be pro- or anti- religion. In fact, it'd be nice to have a mixture of each. Personally, I think Emo Phillips' joke about the man on the cliff is probably one of the best ever written.

And don't give me any crap about freedom of speech because I fully support their right to spout hateful rhetoric. My concern is that they are the public face of Christian homophobia, and you are enabling them by not speaking out.

27 AnswersReligion & Spirituality1 decade agoAside from not believing in deities, what are the rules to being an atheist?
Since atheism is supposedly a religion and/or belief system, I'd like to know what rules I'm supposed to follow.
22 AnswersReligion & Spirituality1 decade agoCan you name one deity that agnostics believe in?
If not, what distinguishes them from atheists?
15 AnswersReligion & Spirituality1 decade agoSpiritually speaking, do rhetorical questions serve a useful purpose in the R&S section?
Or are they merely a way to get around the restrictions of Yahoo Answers?
10 AnswersReligion & Spirituality1 decade agoShould people like JESUS IS LOVE be allowed to send messages when they have everyone else blocked?
I'm only asking because he sent me this stupid message and I'm not allowed to respond to him. I think that qualifies as spam or harassment. What do you think?
22 AnswersReligion & Spirituality1 decade agoSpiritually speaking, do you have evidence of Yahoo's bias in the R&S section?
Because I know of a website that wants to hear about it.
12 AnswersReligion & Spirituality1 decade agoAside from your own belief system, what's your favorite religion? Why?
There's plenty of good in every religion or personal belief system. Let's focus on that for a bit. I'd also like to suggest people come back later and read all of the answers. Might learn something interesting...
34 AnswersReligion & Spirituality1 decade agoWhat do you think of the priest from the new "V" series?
In the very first episode he lies to an FBI agent in order to save lives. I don't want to spoil any more in case you have seen it yet, but this isn't the only unorthodox thing he does.
