Seems to be like PPR expanded.

Question though, how would the word "discussion" get the adjective "unbiased"?
un⋅bi⋅ased [uhn-bahy-uhst]
–adjective not biased or prejudiced; fair; impartial.

Also, especially British, un⋅bi⋅assed.

Origin:
1600–10; un- 1 + biased

Related forms:
un⋅bi⋅ased⋅ly, adverb

Synonyms:
fair, equitable, tolerant, neutral.

Thanks for the definition.

To have an unbiased discussion though, you basically would have to talk about subjects where nobody has an opinion.

Actually, that's your interpretation and that's fine.

My interpretation is when you have an open discussion where other people's point of view is being respected - and where you don't begin your argument with an unfounded assumption.

Sound's good. Respect is just something that I have difficultly giving to human beings since I've worked for Wal-Mart. Sorry if I don't show it.

Every religion is BASED on unfounded assumptions.

Ergo, there can be no logical and reasonable discussion regarding religion.

Chief, if your dad had instead died, would that mean that God doesn't exist?

yes, god exists, but not the way most people think. god is life energy, and life energy exists in everything, therefor god exists. nothing personal. god doesn't care if you like god or not. god just wants to expand, live, experience life and the universe. there is no good or bad to god. consequences, yes. contrast, yes. if you aren't in alignment with love and appreciation, you will suffer. where your energy and attention goes, it picks up momentum. the worse it gets, the worse it gets. but if you can train yourself to be appreciative "whatever is good...think of those things" -bible , then you will have more things to be appreciative of. when you pray, pray a prayer of thanks and appreciation for something in your life and you will notice more of it. god is your intuition, and perception is reality...

here are 2 great quotes

"Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one."

"The only real valuable thing is intuition."

~Albert Einstein

Proof of God does exist in the mind, while the proof of hell is in the heart.

Intuition of what? And eating enough is required to stay alive to use one's intuition, so food is of value.

-.- I leave, as this thread has the catagory of arguments that strangly resemble other arguments that are old as the dawn of the ocean.
