Ouch, I just saw the evolution video.
The opening is this "You've travelled to another dimension, a dimension not only of contradiction and speculation but also one that defies logic and is based on blind faith. A journey into a nebulas land whos limits are that of imagination"
I though he...
Not really.
My mother is an agnostic but goes to Church of England services for the rituals and mythology.
My father is a scientist and has a bit of trouble with religion. His family were VERY religious and his mind is still weakened by his narrow religious upbringing. He is doing his best...
You know full well that this isn't true. Darwin explained how the eye could easily be formed by natural selection. It would only take an astonishing 400,000 generations. Really, the eye is such an easy thing to evolved. So much so that it has evolved several times over, each on independently of...
I find it very puzzling why anybody would consider lust a sin. It is the most natural feeling imaginable. You are attracted somebody, you pupils enlarge (among other things), there is nothing you can do about it. But really, is it that bad?
I am against murder, rape etc, but isn't calling...
Amusingly they approach people with the 10 commandments and basically say that if they have ever lied or lusted after somebody they are horrible filthy people. It's doesn't really work though if you aren't a Christian, who do they think they are saying that the 10 commandments are the universal...
I've been a vegan for a few years now but it can be hard. I only know one restaurant where I can have a nice meal and it's in Liverpool. Therefore, I mainly have to make my own food and can't go out much. :(
Artichokes rule!
If you don't want to read the new book you could always start with "A devil's Chaplain" which should allow you to learn a lot more about him. He really is an incredibly spiritual man and is so often misrepresented as being a bit of a pompous ***. I personally think he has a beautiful mind. Plus...
I went on the website and I am genuinely confused. Are they mocking creationists or are they serious? I watched their Atheism video and was just rolling on the floor laughing. I'm just not sure if that's the effect they were after. :s Help!

I used to love watching his show on "Discovery Home and Leisure" at 9:00am every sunday! :) I love the stuff he does with knives, it's really hard to do. :(
edit: Ah the good ole liquid white. :p
Lots of questions!
I believe what I believe because of testable evidence. I was raised by a nuclear physicist and a piano teacher who is a devout Christian, so I got both a theistic influence as well as a naturalistic one. I was under no pressure to believe anything in particular and...
Hehe, I have the same friends I'm afraid. They are otherwise perfectly nice people who I care for very much. They often come out with corkers such as "I love you man, but you are going to burn in hell for all eternity for your sins". I try to see the funny side. :p
