Fellow Unbelievers,

So everybody is clear, by asking my questions, I’m not giving any credence to the Kalam Cosmological Argument or any other argument for the existance of a God. I’m simply trying, as a non-professional non-astrophysicist lay person, to take what is claimed about the Universe to it’s logical conclusion and see if it fits into…[Read more]

Reg:

I don’t use similes as I don’t know what they are like.

I see what you did there…like John Prine singing about Kentucky Similies in A Big Ol’ Goofy World:

I also see that a perfect analogy would be a tautology, so I don’t fault you as I struggle to understand theories of Cos…[Read more]

In the article about the boycott of US goods, they show this photo, saying that US products are turned upside-down in protest: This is standard practice for Hienz. They even print their label upside-down with extra wide caps. Hienz bottles have been upside-down in my local (Pennsylvania) store for years.

A bit more fun with Aron Ra;

Reg,

The Kalam cosmological argument debunked.

Reading that story has given rise to many big questions:

Yes, I always store such bottles ‘upside-down’, no matter their origin.
