The point is that there is not a single revelation or statement in the Bible that the people of the day with such limited understanding couldn’t have thought of.  I mean they thought the earth was flat and suspended by 4 pillars so that went in the bible, several places of course. Disease is caused by demons. Why do people believe that crap in…[Read more]

I will agree we did not really evolve “rights” but social norms..and then we simply formalize them into law because it’s the moral thing to do. So no, god is not needed.

He is dead wrong. Human rights evolved like everything else that is social in primates.

Well the thing that makes nuclear war different than conventional war is that the leaders are now on the battlefield too. I figure that they figure that they have the most to loose really. In two hours they are the king of nothing, if they manage to survive.

So Belle, If you were on a jury and I was the defendant who raped a girl because god told “now it’s time” and I just knew what to do, you would find me innocent right? And if a Hindu family reconnects somewhere in India, a very emotional and spiritual experience for them…was it your god or their monkey god that did it?

And while god was talking…[Read more]

The Christian plan is appealing to those who need and crave forgiveness (and they even get to scapegoat their way into heaven.) It’s not their fault… Satan is to blame, and hey all ya gotta do is profess you believe !!!

I stopped discussing belief with my social contacts, fellow musicians, etc. I limit that type of conversation even if they…

You somehow fail to see the difference between a battle happening and someone telling you that a god made the battle happen.

So many people will believe anything that others believe. Confirmation bias is a huge factor. I wouldn’t say I am antisocial, but I am selective about my social contacts. I just have a low tolerance for irrationality. There are so many who would love to drag you down with them. Usually they are their own worse enemies.

The only military option is to take out all (estimated at between 10 to 30) of their warheads, missiles, production and leadership in a preemptive strike. I doubt we even know where they all are. If we didn’t hit them 5 years ago, why would we hit them now? Perhaps we have better intelligence? I doubt it.

If we did attack them, we can expect at…[Read more]

The nuns in my school were sadomasochists.

My biggest issue with the holy books and the religions that claim a revelation of some sort is that nothing in the revelation is ever included that could not have been written by the people of the day. God could have told us about bacteria and infections/illness. He could have told us the earth orbits the sun or given us a combustion engine, the s…[Read more]

I am not satisfied with your answer, blaming cancer on “foul…[Read more]

It’s a huge leap from Deism to Theism. That there could have been a sentient creator is a conceptually feasible idea. That this creator then gave a shit about a tiny blue dot in its massive creation is highly questionable. That human beings are then imagined not only to be the reason for the creation, but also i…
