Have a great week everyone!

For ages, a deadly conflict has been waged between a few brave men and women of thought and genius upon the one side, and the great ignorant religious mass on the other. This is the war between Science and Faith. The few have appealed to reason, to honor, to law, to freedom, to the known, and to happiness here in this…[Read more]

Lovely, Robert!  I’m having such a pleasant learning day.

Reg, I had the same joyful reaction – terrific word, adding it to my top drawer of delightful thoughts – Jake – thanks for the gift 🙂

@jakelafort – absquatulate, a great word to have in the vocab.

In future, in a debate with a theist, should I fail to expostulate, I will just absquatulate rather than remonstrate and I won’t care who’s looking, especially when the theist is more intransitive than the verb 🙂

At least whatever Clouseau did was carefully planned.

Reg it looks like Dawkins developed that annoying little eye twitch. I had that when i was practicing law. Luckily Allah removed the eye twitch when i quit. Come to think of it that is what made Chief Inspector Clouseau’s boss in Pink Panther so entertaining.

I once spent about 20 minutes explaining that Intelligent Design was not a valid ‘science’ to a Muslim apologist who was arguing the opposite. Someone asked me if he could expound upon the points I had made and I was happy to allow him to take over.

I have never tried to teach a theist any science since then and I insist on only debating or…[Read more]

This article will give a good insight into secularism in Islamic schooling.  It is dated April 1, 2018, in the Gregorian calendar.

I wonder if there is any place in middle east outside of Israel that has a curriculum in history that is not Muslim propaganda?

Obviously they take Jew hatred to an extreme. Turns out most Muslims deny there was an ancient Jewish civilization in Israel/Judea.

@ Jake

It may be about attention span. I’ve been watching videos of reactions to the classic 1979 sci fi/horror classic Alien and the younger the viewer the more likely they are to complain that “nothing happens until a half hour into the movie.” Yeah, nothing but scene setting and character development. They want the horror scares to start right…[Read more]

There are a number of recent articles indicating that many university students including ivy league have never read a book cover to cover. So they’re bitching to profs about reading assignments.

I grew up from age 6 reading books cover to cover. It never stopped until i got older and chose law as a career. I went to a shit college but i have no…[Read more]

The Atlantic unfairly disses Dawkins.

This article disses the author of the Atlantic piece, Ross Andersen, thus:

It appears that Mr. Andersen is not just journalistically ham-handed, but also incurious.

Ouch!  Is that true?  Maybe Mr Andersen believes that indigenous creation myths are as valid as science.

I think i…[Read more]

I doubt it is one of those MAGA churches that should have every incoming penny taxed.
