I think we need to stop this idea that “men are all assholes and women are all victims” because it’s creating a huge divide between men and women.

Jesus Christ who let this cliché mysogenist onto our website? Asianne you perfectly typify the “men are the victim” stereotype. Just spot on. When women fight back…it’s the oh no…po…[Read more]

usefulness and the history of belief

All I’m saying is, the Flying Spaghetti Monster is not a good analogy because it bears no relation to everyday life, whereas the God of Christianity and Islam is intimately connected with everyday life. So, we cannot compare the two.

Any my response is that it is nonsense, a…[Read more]

All these rich bitches complaining is making it more dangerous for those of us who have serious shit happening and now we really have nowhere to turn

Are you trying to say that the experience of rich women who were sexually assaulted is more trivial than poor women who were sexually assaulted? Are you proposing that rich women who…[Read more]

Women have been ignored, not believed or punished for being the victim of abuse, in numbers most of us wouldn’t possibly believe were true if it weren’t for witnesses and the sheer number of people who can attest to a persons sexual sleaziness and assault. A movement has started to stop avoiding the police who often ignore you, fear not the crowd…[Read more]

Simon you are failing to distinguish between two things. One being the ability to have absolute certainty. The other one being default skepticism vs. Cultural-motional-conditioning. In no system ever used could you prove anything absolutely is as you say so. Its an annoying yet true thing. We don’t and so at cannot know everything. A tiny sliver…[Read more]

What does a religious person mean, when they say that atheism is like a religion?

Some people respond to the “drastic punishment by God” if he…say…destroys the world per evil… with the argument that, as children our parents may restrict us and even spank us because they lovingly know that it is for our protection, education and development as a person. And yes…it really does come from love. We should note that  many…[Read more]

No. No it is not.

Predator in the sky:

Yes. An undeniable yes. It is the most perfect description of the monster and mobster of the old testament.

A more interesting question is: Was Jesus a predator? Is he now in whatever bizarre form he has in heaven…a predator?

As Jake said, mother theresa had her own agenda when it came to politics. She gave voice to any politician who advocated against abortion. She accepted donations from the most crooked politicians. Her goal wasn’t to make life easier or better for others. She didn’t dispense a remotely reasonable quantity of painkillers and provided less than…[Read more]
