@jakelafort…. I used to have a t-shirt with that quote. I wore it back in the days when blasphemy was a thing in Ireland. It started  lot of rows and arguments….which was my intention 🙂

If you ever want a ‘different’ book to read, then I would recommend this one. I have it somewhere in the house. Reading the first page of the prologue…[Read more]

Have a great week!!

“If evidence is the engine of progress, magical thinking is the handbrake left on.” – me.

Yes, the fundamentalist position is where the religious should aspire to be. If one is ‘true believer’ then no reasoning is allowed in. NO point just being a “Sunday Christian”. Faith must become the totality of the brain process. Anything less is not acceptable to your peers.

At some point in the past I remember thinking that religious fundamentalism was a byproduct of whatever religion someone followed. But it is not. It is the natural destination to arrive at if you stay the course of the indoctrination process. There are just degrees of how “mental” people become once they reach the destination point.

I did not expect to find myself in agreement with Ted Cruz…..

Just about everyone outside China underestimates China.  They added about 357GW of wind and solar capacity in 2024. The total in the EU was about 80GW and the USA, a maximum of 60GW.

“Always carry a flagon of whiskey in case of snakebite, and furthermore, always carry a small snake.…..W.C. Fields.

Was Diogenes Woke?

We agree. He was not! 🙂

Burst into bull frog? There are a few known cases of it happening.

I think the writer is “tilting at windmills” and is arguing a point that does not need to be made. It could even be deemed a “strawman argument”. Her critique seems aimed more at an imagined “scientific arrogance” than at how science is genuinely practiced. Very few scientists claim perfect objectivity; rather, they emphasize the method as t…[Read more]

Have a great week everyone!!

Atheism isn’t a belief—it’s a refusal to pretend. 

Although it’s from a ‘Gentile’, I find he offers a different viewpoint…..sample.

From the above linked article…..Trump is wreaking havoc, much of it irreparable, and he has three and a half more years — at a minimum — to continue his wrecking-ball presidency. The disunity of the opposition has enabled Trump to proceed without the public fully understanding the range and scope of his destruction. Every day Trump sows con…[Read more]
