Can Christians Be Converted To Reason?
@ Super-King: Yeah, Wikipedia sucks. Who cares.
Once again all I can ask you to do is to do better research.

What's an atheist's motivation to do 'the right thing'?
I'm just saying that there is scope left. In almost every situation we can act differently and use our learning experience to cause further experiences that are either favorable or not. Please dig deep into Peirce (for tychism) and Whitehead (for causa finalis).

Genetic technology and philosophy
Give me a few days. I'm preoccupied with my job and my studies at university.

You may well be right about the emotions thing... I've seen articles/reports about how we tend to go with our gut then make up reasons after the event to justify whatever decision we already made... but some things I still think are reasoned decisions... unless I just have a rationally-minded gut
I do not rule out self-control per se, but I often encounter people who are affected by prejudices, subconscious emotions and internalized social structures that have already taken a life on their own. They subsequently claim to have come to their conclusion through logical reasoning. And I'm impressed by Nietzsche's ideas on epistemology.
Well that's not rational defence, its confirmation bias
.. veiled in rational defence.

Marilyn Manson + Twiggy Ramirez = <3 ?
Marilyn Manson has recently reunited with his former bassist Twiggy Ramirez to cause a little more damage. And we're all thrilled. Ramirez parted ways with his best friend in 2002 due to a devastating quarrel over their band's creative direction. Manson's co-producer Tim Skold became the band's new bassist and musical director, and he must take most credit for the band's musical style since Ramirez' departure.
Now Ramirez is back, and his return entails an allegedly amicable split with Manson's main collaborator Tim Skold. Manson and Ramirez are currently writing and recording new songs together.
What do you think about Manson's split with Skold and Ramirez rejoining the band?

How do you find inspiration and meaning?
Art and a genuinely playful attitude towards the question of 'the good life'.
