People will not face up to the fact they are wrong no matter how many times they are shown to be. I don't know that I would apply that to all people, but yes, I certainly know what you mean. Certainly some people can be objective about their beliefs...  [Read More]

Like other minority groups, there are certain characteristics that classify it as such and hence we get stereotypes. One could say that an atheist is a hard core science person who believes in big bang and evolution but that doesn't classify all of t...  [Read More]

*shrugs* To each their own, however I do see your point that it can be difficult to operationally define atheism. From my perspective, "outright opposing the existence of a deity" would be something like trying to kickbox with an imaginary...  [Read More]

Although I cannot agree with either when it comes to whether Atheism is a belief or a nonbelief. In my opinion, it is like the "glass half empty/glass half full" philosophy, in that it depends on the view of the Atheist whether they simply...  [Read More]

He wasn't, at least in what he believed in private. I think this much is quite clear from his actions. Really? How? Isn't killing promoted in the Bible? Aren't there grounds for anti-semitism in the NT? So how would Hitler's actions contradict Cathol...  [Read More]

Funny, I don't recall claiming that he was. Rather, I pointed out his somewhat unusual 'positive' Christianity, and his disdain for the more mainstream ideas therein. Funny, I don't recall claiming that you did. :) I was simply making a point. A poi...  [Read More]

I can't find it atm but I didn't go on an extensive search. It might have been a PM. I might have read something as an implication. Don't know right now. Fair enough. Why do you think I'd be willing to put this kind of work into it if I didn't take...  [Read More]

Just what are your intentions with these comments? My intention is address the fact that I'm no longer debating with just you. Apparently you've invited a 3rd set of opinions into our discussions (which is fine). Additionally, you prefaced your comme...  [Read More]

Which is exactly why I used it as people do use the term no matter how wrong it is. The term itself is not "wrong". "Delusion" and its derivatives are actual words that are used to describe actual conditions. If someone was (liter...  [Read More]

So why isn't this topic dead yet?Maybe Godwin's Law really isn't a law (see: Murphy's Law, etc). A friend of mine made a very good comment, 'If you're Atheist, you're Atheist but don't be an ******* about it'. What he says is very true, not just of...  [Read More]

Nothing I’ve every read in the scriptures has told me to harm another. Are you simply stating that you aren't familiar with the scriptures that I'm referencing or are you claiming that they don't exist? To the contrary what I’ve got from the bib...  [Read More]

Actually this has been done. Yep. While liberals were using the Bible to promote Abolition, southern concervatives were using the Bible to refute it. It was more of an ethnocentric statement which even the most enlightened people make. The founding...  [Read More]

@Achilles--just because the article is 12 years old doesn't make it invalid. It's been quoted by a good number of other articles, so someone thought it must have been useful. Sorry. I guess I'm just used to academic standards. For the past decade, I...  [Read More]

Depends on what the mod is. Something like Better Bodies/Better Heads for Morrowind is a must. Something that fixes a bug or rebalances an overpowered aspect of gameplay is probably going to thrown in. Something like TSLRP would probably have to wait...  [Read More]
