Again again, Bullwinkle? I’m detecting a pattern here.

I was waiting for that 🙂

@Enco  – Coincidentally, I was reading this Quillette article yesterday. I agree with what you say.

I was very deliberate and careful in my wording of the post 🙂

New knowledge make things better if understood and used right. 

Yes, but what is common sense to one person is often seen as special knowledge to another.

Thanks Strega, someone is paying attention in school 🙂 The problem is Sunday School follows Saturday night! I feel younger already.

Actively seeking pariah state status!

The Anti-Israel protestors are alleging all three.

The fallacy of composition is a logical fallacy that occurs when one incorrectly assumes that what is true for the parts of a whole must also be true for the whole itself. In other words, it’s the mistake of attributing a characteristic of individual members or parts to…[Read more]

June already?  Why, looking at your heading for today, Reg, we’ve gone and hit July 🙂

also, thank you for Sunday School 🙂

I seldom spend time in the Southern States during the summer months. I can handle 80F – 85F in many countries as I tend to spend a lot of time outside. The humidity gets to me and I find it very unpleasant especially if I want to go for a run. I also don’t like the atmosphere created by air con units unless they are properly maintained.

But like you say, different people think different things are moral.  The biggest drawback with religion is its t…[Read more]

Ummm… Bombing an abortion clinic? Murdering a doctor who performs abortions in their driveway in front of their wife/husband and/or their children?

You have to remember the difference in what they may believe to be moral.

Here is a question I like to ask theists in a “morality debate”. It usually goes along these lines:

Why is your god “always watching” you.

Pray tell Reg but whatever do you mean?

Can you please answer a straightforward question with an answer for once.

Our God is always with us so He sees all the deeds we do.

But why does He have to watch…[Read more]
