I don't know what it is, but with this new format when I download the mp3 using the download button, it automatically opens in winamp with no root file to be found anywhere. I use firefox, and had no such problem with the first two podcasts on the original page. Any suggestions?

The whole lot of religionists, be they buddhist, xian, jew, or muslim, are damaged. Like some pumpkin or autumn gourd grown in a mold shaped like Elvis, they are so committed to conforming to their set of religious views that they very well ought to be viewed as damaged.

What? All of a sudden you just stopped believing in God?

Pissed Catholic Mom lambasting her outed atheist son.

I can't speak to the kid's ulterior motive- if any, but his mom sure has a way of working things out. God bless.

Warning: Video contains cursing.

It's not always easy to gage a person's emotional or mental health based solely on their posts, at least with regards to suicide. I hope Hunted takes the advice to seek professional help.

Can't you just go with active and passive? Do we even have to tack gender onto time and space? It's been done before with "Father Time" but geeze, do we really have to put gender on esoteric concepts? They seem to belong to different realms to me. There are many languages that use masculi...

Re: Ideals & Desires

I propose that there is no such thing as an ideal outside of delusion. I further propose that desire is the motivation for any action - right down to such desires as to pay one's bills or brush one's teeth. If one has a bad taste in one's mouth, one's desire to brush one's teeth is increased, and t...

Elizabeth,

In addition, I have also read that man lives longer with a regular dose of sex with a partner- effects that cannot be recreated through masturbation.

This article indicates that marriage helps men live longer (not women, just men). Just to clear up some confusion I encountered when I read the above quote, the article says nothing of women- indicating nothing about them whatsoever. From the article, the bold text is my doing: Analysis of whether ...

I am about to begin reading Darwin's The Origin of Species to shake things up.

I have a pretty extensive library of philosophy and eastern/western thought. When I decide to take on some light reading I've enjoyed the work of Vonnegut in the past.

Any suggestions for light and 'heavy' reading?

Re: irrational universe?

The problem of cause and effect is that it has to stop somewhere, say for the universe. It can't be infinitely going back with causes and effects cause that implies that matter has always been here.

Hey Matt, I gave the Flower Ornament Sutra a go a couple of times. I would read 10-20 pages a night before falling asleep.

I think you'll find that the 'typical woman' works the other way around... first the affection, then the claws.
