Davis replied to the topic The big red atheist button in the forum
To Do or not To Do 9 years agohow do you think that people would explain all the Bibles and Qurans and churches and temples and such?
People would look at the holy books in the same way they look at Shakespeares play or the Illiad or Zoroastrian books.
People would look at sacred buildings and percieve them just as we do now with Roman and Greek Ruins or the Pyramids…[Read more]

Hey Umar. Three comments/questions:
1. Is it possible to have a multi-threaded format. It’s much much easier to follow a conversation with replies embedded in replies (like the reply tree we had at thinkatheist).
2. The web version will not allow me to load the desktop. The web version is just as limiting as TA was, but with TA I could try to…[Read more]

Sunday School 9 years ago+1
This is why it’s so important to qualify what you mean when using sweeping terms and to soften the claims with weasel words which are necessary when we are speculating or talking about something we don’t know so well (yes, weasel words are a good thing sometimes). Now that I have a better idea of what you are talking about and what you are…[Read more]

Sunday School 9 years agoIt comes down to the two main kinds of love offered by God: the unconditional (which is amoral and belongs to the individual) and the judgemental (which serves morality and applies to social life). They’re complementary, in that we need to thrive both individually and socially.
This is a false dichotomy, both through religion and in real life. F…[Read more]

The feature I would hope to see soon, is a “reply” link. That is, on TA you clicked on the Person replied to xxxx, and that link brought you to the actual reply that user made in the thread. Otherwise you have to go through the whole thread to find their response, which is tedious. I think it’s an essential feature that is needed here.
I hope we…[Read more]

In fact…most people in all cultures tend to agree on the principle shade of common colour terms (assuming that culture has the specific colour term). Given swatches with dozens of different hues…almost everyone within a culture that has a colour term for red…chooses lipstick red or at worst one or two slightly different shades darker or…[Read more]

Davis replied to the topic Donald Trump in the forum Politics 10 years, 10 months ago
American style attack ads used to be a really big no-no in Canada…especially after a nasty ad in the 90s that reduced a massive majority government to only 2 seats. A decade later…the current conservative government started up with bitchy adds and then went nuts with it. And not only during elections campaigns. They did these vicious attack…[Read more]

Davis replied to the topic Genius of P.G. Wodehouse in the forum
Bookish atheists 10 years, 10 months agoIndeed. The Code of the Woosters was brilliant.
A particularly nice quoty by Wodehouse:
“Everything in life that’s any fun, as somebody wisely observed, is either immoral, illegal or fattening.”

Whatever we call it, I love it. It more or less guarantees a GOP loss in 2016, even if he doesn’t carry out his threat of a third party run if the GOP doesn’t nominate him.
Davis, come on. Trump is Trump, not The Unite…

Just when one thought American politics couldn’t get more insane and creepy…here comes the utterly grotesque. It cannot last forever. The United States has shocked the hell out of everyone many times before for their utter refusal to join the rest of the world in their social progress to suddenly adopting it, taking it, owning it, being the very…[Read more]

Davis replied to the topic A philosophical question about men in the forum
Men of Atheist Zone 10 years, 10 months agoThis depends on the topic. If the terms used are clear and the arguments used are verifiable then the person can still be wrong. He should be capable of taking a step back and objectively going over his argument and possibly admit he was wrong. That doesn’t require a second person.
If it is a matter of moral judgement…then depending on the…[Read more]
