It would give people a reason to dislike atheism, as is the case with Islam.

That’s pretty neat.  It is a theory, but it’s consistent with every biological phenomenon.

First Nasrullah. Now Sinwar.

These valiant freedom fighters are falling like dominos. Imagine the consternation and period of mourning our university students will endure. Just awful. If they can sacrifice a few Jewish student it won’t offset the loss obviously but it will be just enough to go on.

If you have written negatively about Trump you may want to write something in public sphere that praises him. If you’re male sumpin like i love that man in a heterosexual way. If female you can go on about he can grab you by the P any time you want.

If it comes off according to the betting odds it really will be interesting to see how this plays…[Read more]

Nicely done Reg.

There goes special creation and a young earth.

I had a debate recently with a theist (No, I don’t have a life) who spent time trying to convince me that Evolution was ‘only a theory’. I won’t repeat it here as you are all familiar with the usual tropes about Irreducible Complexity, Fine Tuning Arguments, The Watchmaker analogy etc. I pointed out the assumptions and fallacies in his argumen…[Read more]

Or, what can we do to mitigate these…[Read more]

I wish there were more like her as well. Although i wonder how she turned out. Is she another ideologue going with the current? Or is she free as can be within the paramaters of our nature and the laws of the unvirse?

Yes, reading a good book will increase your happiness.

I think Harris is making a mistake in following tired advice to stay above the fray. Instead she should roll up her sleeves, get her hands dirty and expose the utter mess that is Trump.

Perfect opportunity right now as he asks her to take a cognitive test. She is stupid says he. Well call him out for F’s sake! Tell him he is a blow hard and is…[Read more]

New Atheist in Ireland: Reg, thank you for your patience. You have been very good at listening and your arguments have finally persuaded me that my belief in the Christian god is no longer possible to maintain. What really triggered it for me was when you said to me to embrace and challenge my doubts and not to fear…
