Bookish atheists 8 years 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 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, 1 month 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]

It is the height of dishonesty to claim that science and Christianity are mutually exclusive. It is likewise the height of dishonesty, and there is no shortage of dishonesty of course among atheists, for them to claim intellectual supremacy, and that BECAUSE of their (claimed) universal supremacy, all of their arrogant pronouncements are correct,…[Read more]

First of all, thanks for the insults (lol). When someone has no real argument or simply do not know how to debate, they default to insults.
Secondly, I made no claims here about anything. I simply joined the thread but will respond to your point.
Science and religion can be compatible, depending on the believer’s Christian denomination (and…[Read more]

I was talking about atheists in general, not you specifically. I thought I made that clear. Atheists are thoroughly hateful, condescending, and vulgar. Not exactly the qualities one would expect from those pretending to be so very rational and enlightened.

Ever heard of the Westboro Baptist Church? And I have personally had conversations that start with “you have no morals”, or “you will be going straight to hell”. There is certainly enough arrogance and bad manners on both sides to go around.
-
Teaching Moment:
1. Westboro Baptist Church is a small group of insane individuals who should be locked up. They are so small in percentage as to be insignificant.
2. Atheists are consistently hateful, consistently condescending, consistently arrogant and pretentious. They take their cue from haters like Richard Dawkins, a professor.
-
Teaching moment-
1. VP Mike Pence is in that same category. He just lies about it publically.
2. I agree that Dawkins can be a jerk. However, there are many evangelicals that fit those adjectives as well. And many radical Muslims that would love to literally kill you and me.

Science — the kind that requires evidence and reason. 8 years, 1 month agoFinally, some evidence: Here are Edwin Hubble’s words in the 1937 Royal Astronomical Society Monthly Notices:
“If the red shifts are a Doppler shift . . . the observations as they stand lead to the anomaly of a closed universe, curiously small and dense, and, it may be added, suspiciously young.
“On the other hand, if red shifts are not Dop…[Read more]

Bookish atheists 8 years, 1 month 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……

Science — the kind that requires evidence and reason. 8 years, 3 months agoMorality is natural for social species; I mentioned to a fellow partier. She disagrees and says the 10 commandments is the basis. I shouldn’t have done it but I said “Oh yeah? name them. She got about 4 and a half of them, the usual ones…. steal, kill, covet, and false idols. It’s amazing how they always fail. It was all in good fun, but I gave…[Read more]
