Dang Martin

I think many American Christians do not realize a few very important things. One of those things is that there are over 50,000 brands of Christianity available for purchase worldwide. They are also more than just ONE bible.

But what most of these Christians have in common is that they do not like each other. So far as they are concerned, every…[Read more]

I’m coveting my neighbor’s ass right now. RIGHT NOW!

If there were a Satan, and he spoke to you, would you know his voice? Would you be able to tell the difference? Would he be wearing a name tag? Could he give you that tingly feeling you get, which would serve to confuse? Would he command you to kill your son, and then call it off at the last minute, because it’s a test?

Would he not show up with…[Read more]

Odin DID promise and end to the Snow Giants, and I don’t see any Snow Giants. Dead gods are kind of uninspiring, even though they did not physically die, since they never physically existed, and it was their mythology that died by falling out of favor.

I guess it’s a difference is not so much between living and dead, as it is between an ethereal…[Read more]

Maybe they found a few bucks on the ground when they needed it. /s

Stories like this are scary, when considering the human mind can justify things in this manner. The idea of a living person being treated as a god is bizarre.

Now we know why god [the universe, or whatever it is] lets 50,000 babies die every day from diarrhea caused by unclean drinking water. Seems he’s got other priorities.

But dang, 50,000 per day. Can’t be a coincidence.

If, as an atheist I were to discover that there WAS a god, I think I’d be terrified if it were the god of the Christian bibles.

As mythologies go, Yahweh is a rather horrific being, from genocide, to eternal punishment for mistakes while absolutely knowing nothing, to having a son commit suicide by cop, and all of the other h…[Read more]

I don’t think it’s true that atheists “don’t want to believe in God” – if you think about it, that doesn’t really make any sense.

True. Although I can only speak for myself, it’s not that I “don’t want to” believe in a god. It’s that I cannot believe in a god.

The primary reason why I cannot believe in a god is that I was no…[Read more]

@DangMartin- “It’s like chanting for weed.” – it’s lazy and complacent to assume that every superficially similar situation is the same.

Deja vu.

It would be lazy and complacent to simply assert it, for sure, much like stating a one-sentence assertion, and then stating that assertion again. Easy arguments are easy to make.

Maybe it would be…[Read more]

Dang, thanks for the Hitch fix!

You’re welcome. Although I can tell he gets a bit frustrated, he stays relatively cool, asks them questions, and sometimes re-asks. Their unwillingness to answer, or avoidance of questions, is in and of itself, a very telling answer.

@DangMartin – I take your point. All I can say is that something is almost certainly going on that we don’t know about.

Bullshit Simon…. as DangMartin said an old primer is slow to fire. They are called ‘click bangs’. It can take 30 seconds or more with shitty ammo. This is why when a gun doesn’t fire you do…
