    A Racists Guide to Climate Change

    I worked in Manchester for two years, I remember the general rule was this; if you looked up and saw clouds it meant it was about to rain. It you looked up and couldn't see clouds it meant it was already raining... Seriously, I love our green little island, when I come back from holidays abroad...

    whats your beef with brexit?

    I'm probably in a minority, being a 'leftie' who voted Leave, but I voted that way not because I'm worried about immigration or being subject to legislation that comes from the European parliament. I voted that way because the EU is pretty much a failed project in terms of turning Europe into a...

    Legalized Pedophilia

    Yep, I bet you've only "often read" claptrap like that in religious literature; a hysterical fallacious claim like that could only have its roots in religion.

    A Racists Guide to Climate Change

    I notice the UK remains green even with the Earth 4 degrees warmer; brilliant, even when everywhere else enjoys glorious sunshine it is still p*ssing down in Britain...

    Exactly What Convinced You?

    I'm interested that the vast majority of replies to this thread point to the emotional rather than the rational, perhaps with the exception of; For most people religion appears to be a way to escape from the mundane grind of life, a distraction from it. I'm not being sniffy about religion here...

    Should the Catholic Church Acknowledge the Destruction of Classical Pagan Culture?

    I admit to not having read the commentaries you mention, so I cannot compare and contrast myself. However, I found the NIV to be reasonably sober and objective, admitting where authorship is doubtful or where retrospective editing might have gone on (the oldest manuscripts do not contain this...

    Should the Catholic Church Acknowledge the Destruction of Classical Pagan Culture?

    Sure, I wasn't being entirely serious, if you want to understand Western cultural development the bible should be on your reading list. Just a warning though, it is hard work at times; rambling, repetitive, scarcely coherent in places. Good luck if you want to try it, not sure how much time you...

    Hypcorisy, is it healthy?

    Fair enough, I think you have a point; a hypocrite who is completely unaware that he/she is engaging in hypocritical activity is better described as "mistaken" rather than dishonest.

    Transitional Fossils

    Yeah, but what Dawkins was saying is that the weight of evidence in favour of evolution is such that it is would be a nonsense to deny it as a "fact", anymore than it would be to deny that the Earth is spherical. However, people seriously deny that "fact" and say we are mistaken with the way we...

    Hypcorisy, is it healthy?

    Good question, can you blame someone for something they may not be aware they are doing? It may just be what they have grown up with, just part of their cultural heritage (like Arabs and Israelis have a long cultural "rivalry", they accuse each other of unjust and aggressive behaviour they...

    Hypcorisy, is it healthy?

    As hypocrisy is a form of dishonesty, even unconscious dishonesty because of cultural influences, it is hard to see why or how it could be "a good thing". I'm all for intellectual honesty, I have to make a mental effort, to fight my ego and admit "Hold on, I've just said or done something I'd...

    "Don't try to be happy. We're programmed to be dissatisfied."

    Now you've made me feel verbose, I think that pretty much sums up what I was trying to say in three lines. Just as well I'm well adjusted or that might have made me feel unhappy!:p

    Should the Catholic Church Acknowledge the Destruction of Classical Pagan Culture?

    I think that may be to your credit, trust me you are not missing out on much! ;) Which is why I admire Jains, such dedication to peacefulness and "harmlessness", I hear similar claims from other religions that reek of hypocrisy. The peacefulness usually only extends to those within the...

    "Don't try to be happy. We're programmed to be dissatisfied."

    There was a thread about happiness recently that got bogged down because the OP didn't attempt to define "happiness", so thanks for giving us a selection of definitions Rival! I'm still not sure there is one "catch all" term that satisfactorily sums up the meaning of happiness. If I am engaged...

    Should the Catholic Church Acknowledge the Destruction of Classical Pagan Culture?

    Sure, I have conceded the Abrahamic religions champion blood lust, but religion is such an emotive subject. When one group feels their cultural freedoms are under attack the response is often a violent one. I'm pretty sure many Christians would denounce the violence of the past as something...

    Some musings on hell

    On the question of suffering in the world, it is often a source of debate for Abrahamic theists; how can a loving god allow suffering in the short term, never mind suffering for all eternity? I think we should let god answer the question in his own words, I give you the rambling and scarcely...

    Scottish robotic industry going strong!

    The obvious humour aside, I suspect there is some CGI going on there, if not that is one hell of an impressive robot! Ken whit I mean?

    Jerry Lewis Died Today

    As a kid I thought he was hilarious, I avidly watched his films. Some say (probably with some truth) that Jim Carey ripped off his act, but generally speaking I like Jim Carey as well. Zany and slapstick? Yes? Sophisticated? No. Still, I've a lot of affection for the zany and the slapstick, it...
