Sunday School 4 years, 10 months agoSimon, promotes good behavior? Punishes bad?
That one line would be more than enough to discourage me from reading your book. It might otherwise be interesting to see how evolution might serve as a guide to morality.
As to promotes good behavior there is all kinds of shit in religious texts that is despicable. Follow the strictures strictly and…[Read more]

Sunday School 4 years, 10 months agoCome on Enco! I have challenged you over and over to defend your political point of view. You’ve got absolutely nothing to say except to trot out propaganda.
Moreover you have used words like smear to describe how you view any negative portrayal of what you hold sacred. When you can’t see any flaws, weaknesses or troubling issues in your…[Read more]

If it is as it appears to the author of that article an open and shut case of a conspiracy to subvert democracy by rejecting the democratic results of the election and installing Trump then there must be consequences, right? If the traitors in the conspiracy do not pay then there is an open invitation to take over the country.
It is interesting…[Read more]

350,000 species of beetles and just 1 species of us. So theologian, who do you think your god favors most?
Jake channels his inner theologian to answer the insolent query.
The multitude and variety of the species against the backdrop of the one made in his image and so clearly set apart from the others is pointing to the favored and the chosen.…[Read more]

Enco you are a binary propagandist religionist with a twist of lime who handles the barrage of criticism with aplomb, a peach, plum and old bubble gum.
I tried to call off the dogs who smelled Enco blood in the pig pile. Whispers became chants…pig pile on Enco, pig pile on Enco. Those whispers are dispersing through the universe like the…[Read more]

I have a question and it is something i have never looked into although it has come across to me as a superficial knee-jerk criticism of an assertion when there is no good counter argument. Maybe i am missing something. Perhaps i can find help with this issue here.
Binary! That is the word i often hear/read as a knock or criticism of an…[Read more]

michael17, will you please make the case for atheists who regard all religion as utter nonsense and lies. Can you give some argument or evidence for anything you believe?

No, Unseen, i agree that if the party that initiates the coup stays in power we won’t soon have a return to the constitution. But if the usurper is ousted then an immediate return is highly probable.

I had a Hindu acquaintance who was earnestly describing the attributes of the monkey god and so very convicted in his beliefs. It was only by virtue of biting my lip that i avoided laughing.

Unseen, I am with you on all points except perhaps the prospect of a return to the constitution after its suspension.

Christmas cheer and Christ, hermeneutics and spice, an emetic for the peripatetic ascetic.

We may be headed for civil war but that was not in my estimation a particularly strong case. It is not that historical precedents are irrelevant but no proximate causation or specific factors putting us in jeopardy are given by the speaker.

I wonder if it is a common theme as an empire is about to crumble that the citizenry feeling threatened is less rational and more prone to cults and anti-government movements and all manner of lunacy. It sure feels like a substantial majority of the USA is chock full of nuts.
The greater existential crises are i fear insurmountable unless there…[Read more]

Maybe Enco is mirroring the propaganda that supports his ideology.
In any event it is not pig pile on Enco day.

The proper subject matter of posting begs the question what is the nature and purpose of Atheist Zone.
We may differ in how we answer that question. For me it is to be informed, learn, challenge each other in our ideas and to be entertained. I suppose it is hoped that theists will begin to question their beliefs. I have certainly observed how…[Read more]
