    What is the best argument for an atheist?

    You can be an agnostic atheist. I'm not one. But simply stating ones atheism in terms of doubt of supernaturalism doesn't make someone any less an atheist. I'll leave No True Scotsman-ism to the theists.

    Richard Dawkins and Father Coye

    Oh I saw it. Doesn't mean I'm not going to post something about it even post not quite yet clarified but going to do so.

    Why should I have to justify?

    You mean other than our capacity for intelligence and tool use allowing us a potential for doing so through a number of ways. Or the way our body is capable of digesting food to be used as fuel, including to maintain a steady body temperature as well as to form body fat which helps insulate us...

    Richard Dawkins and Father Coye

    "Strongly anti religious." does not equal uncivil.

    Richard Dawkins and Father Coye

    Overly sensitive Christians and other sorts who don't like the concept of public atheism have a tendancy to whine and cry and make Dawkins the poster boy of "MILITANT ATHEISM! WITH SCIENCE!". Even if I wasn't in his corner. My despising people that can't learn to separate attacking an idea...

    How do you feel after posting on RF?

    You sell the pearls on Ebay or go to a nice jewelry exchange and you make bacon and boneless porkchops out the pigs. Duh!

    Why should I have to justify?

    No one's used the word "upward" until you so why you're injecting it now is beyond me. As for the other part. Yes that's good. On our side humans are pretty damn good at regulating body heat compared to other mammals. Tomorrow we'll work on colors, shape and numbers.

    Why should I have to justify?

    Ok so lets see....the supernatural can only be shown if a supernatural person shows it...seeing no human is supernatural, its not surprising that no one has been able to show its existence. I love circular logic. However we know that some have 'seen' supernatural things occur and for that...

    Why should I have to justify?

    I assume that you are using material not as a scientific term perhaps denoting "solid" since that would rule out the other scientific states. So I assume by this you mean "that which is not the supernatural". The supernatural has never been shown to exist in the first place. So attempting to...

    Why should I have to justify?

    I don't even need to do that. You based your question on faulty logic. Namely. "Evolutionary processes formed a biological imperative of emotions in humans." "Humans are animals." "Ergo, all animals should display the same biological imperative." It doesn't work like that. Refine your question.

    What are you playing?

    Sigh. Nothing right now. I haven't felt like playing XBox at all for some time. Might buy Fable 3 if I can somehow afford it but no dice right now. Though Fallout 3 is still sitting in it.

    Why should I have to justify?

    Actually your question is contingent on what animals you are talking about. There are animals that have little to no capacity for self awareness. It's like asking why don't humans shed their skins like a snake.

    The What Are You Listening To? Thread - Part Three!

    Gypsy punk. Mostly Gogol Bordello. It's probably not a lot of people's cup of tea but I LOVE gypsy punk. And some Decemberists. Trying to find some more indie bands I haven't heard of.

    Why should I have to justify?

    If you mean emotions I should have expounded on their function as a biological imperative. So yeah actually it DOES explain why we have them.

    Why should I have to justify?

    Or they're evolutionary modified biochemical/social actions/reactions and not supernatural comfort food passed off to reinforce the "we are the special unique snowflake of ponies and sunshine and sugar and spice of the universe." mentality.

    Obama's Economic Failures Explained

    While politicians of all stripes have had their way in contributing to the number of changes like deregulation and the expansion of corporate "rights" that have helped foster the sort of economic disparity we have today. It would be both simplistic and idiotic of me to lay this at the feet of...

    When Did You Choose To Be Straight?

    I remember when I was little more than a toddler. The apt complex I lived in had an interracial married couple. Though I don't even know if mentioning that means much as I'm not sure what sentiment was in the early 80's on that. But I mention as part of an point I'm making so carrying on... And...

    How about Violence be the next "Gay Movement"?

    I for one nominate Hit Girl to try.

    When Did You Choose To Be Straight?

    Damn it must have been early on because I've always been girl crazy so I don't remember.Maybe I was playing with xmen toys or voltron toys at the time of the decision and that distracted me. /SeriousMode People that think sexuality is a choice. Like picking out fruit in a market or deciding on...
