Sounds like he’s batshit crazy honey. I suspect the only way you’re going to stop him is to pick a rant yourself, and blast him with it. You’re reading a lot about climate change right now. Next time he starts with the evils of Walt, you can say “oh that’s interesting, but I’m really an avid activist for climate protection. Did you know that…[Read more]

@Simon Payton. No we have not spent six months arguing that there is Atheist morality. We argued that atheists have morality because it’s a human evolutionary trait, not an Atheist trait. Morality is an evolutionary product. Diverse religions attribute their morality to their religious texts in error. Many of them twist their own texts to…[Read more]

Simon. I read your linked article. It describes a secular charity’s work with troubled children. It demonstrates what point of yours, exactly? That compassion is a good thing? Did you feel anyone was unaware of this? It’s a very nice story, but I don’t see any connection to “religious morality”.

I don’t have a position to defend, @Bob.

@Davis. “Book of Regulatory Madness” What a splendid term that is.

@Bob You mean you’ve never come across the threat that God/Jesus will punish anyone for their ‘sins’? Oh right, that’d be those fundamentalists you deflect to.

I don’t find clowns scary. I find poisonous critters scary. I find your religions attempts to suppress homosexuality scary and a bit sad, really. But mostly, and unforgivably, your…[Read more]

There are words in a hymn we had to sing at school, “when the Earth will be filled with the glory of God and the waters cover the sea” that gave me nightmares. I’d just seen Krakatoa East of Java on TV, (has a bloody great tidal wave at the end) and this song filled my 8 year old head with terror. The whole religion is based on fear. They call…[Read more]
