Gay Atheist. 8 years, 7 months agoYes. A fitting quote. The cause of all pointless human suffering, is one one group of people dehumanise others. Making some people less than others. Usually the most vulnerable. Almost always by the most powerful.
Religion usually excels at the dehumanisation game. Most especially abrahamic religions (Christianity, Islam, Judaism).…[Read more]

Bookish atheists 8 years, 7 months agoThanks Simon, I am 300 pages in but need to stop revising and editing it. Just write it and let someone else proof read it.
I am in the “NOMA” camp and do not see any need for religion. Science investigates the natural world and religion the alleged supernatural world. As there is only the natural world I see no need for religion. It is obs…[Read more]

Bookish atheists 8 years, 7 months ago@simonpaynton I wouldn’t call myself a blogger, yet, as most of my writing is here (and TA) atm. I do have a different identity at some other websites, but I’m not ready to disclose them publicly (because of some of my anti-Scientology rants), and other websites where I publicly store links and themed resources under my real name. I do have a…[Read more]

Bookish atheists 8 years, 7 months agoI have my web site. The problem I have (that I identify) is that my writing is very clunky. It’s difficult to put down bits of facts and research piecemeal and expect it to read nicely. I notice that other writers on a similar subject (morality) know their material like a charm, and so they can just reel it off when needed, and it really fl…[Read more]

Bookish atheists 8 years, 7 months agoI am writing a book about the nature of belief and belief in gods in particular. The premise of the book is to help people with doubts to reason themselves away from god. It will be commercial – if I ever finish it!!! with 10% of profits going to a charity I support.
More anon……

Gay Atheist. 8 years, 9 months agoHey, I have a question for the group – are there any arguments against equal rights and respect for gay people that aren’t religious? (IMHO saying it’s “unnatural” doesn’t count, because if it were actually unnatural there wouldn’t be any of us right here smack in the middle of nature.)
OK, two questions – why aren’t fundamentalist religionists…[Read more]

There are no rational arguments of course but humans are not generally rational. Gays are different than the majority and minority groups have always been oppressed. Religion came along and simply provides the pseudo rationality to justify the oppression.
-
You’re right, rationality isn’t very relevant to people for whom the only part of an argument that matters is the conclusion they want. I love Stephen Fry’s comment:
“It’s the strangest thing about this church – it is obsessed with sex, absolutely obsessed. Now, they will say we, with our permissive society and rude jokes, are obsessed. No. We hav…[Read more]

There is the (pretty weak, imo) argument that anal sex has a higher risk of spreading disease.
There’s also the argument that if gay men are repressed, they are more likely to have children and pass on their (higher average intelligence) genes.
All in all, pretty weak arguments when put against equal/human rights.
-
That second one’s a doozy; never heard it before.

It’s one of the reasons Milo Yiannopolis is opposed to same-sex marriage despite being gay himself.

He’s a legend in his own mind.
