    Is The Best Evidence For God Father Time?

    An assumption, as I stated. Look up. See the point? No, it's way too far up to even be visible.

    Is Pain And Suffering The Only Way To Convince Atheists That There Is A God

    Maybe god does exist for some people. Maybe god exists only for people who need top ten commandment lists and the threat of eternal suffering in order to not run around raping and killing. In that case, I'm glad god exists for them.

    Another RCC Sex Scandal!

    Pedophiles are predatory by definition. What better hunting environment than a job where you're expected to not have sex with women, people inherently trust you, and you have abundant access to young children? It's no accident that there are so many pedophile priests. Such a situation would...

    Religious Symbols

    I find the power of symbols over people to be very fascinating. Personally, I don't feel any sense of power or mystery from symbols, but I have always doodled symbols I encounter, since I was a child, as I have a strong affinity for pattern, form, and shape. I remember when I first encountered...

    Is The Best Evidence For God Father Time?

    Anything and everything can be evidence for the existence of god(s) if you first assume that god(s) exist, then look at everything as evidence of your assumption.

    Don't Blame Me For Not Accepting Jesus

    I don't know any rational people who miss this point at all. In fact, they understand that religion is primarily emotionally- and socially-driven. The problem is that many religious people like to pass it off as though it is rational, which it clearly isn't. I have no problem with people...

    Answers In Genesis on Facebook

    Answers in Genesis is clearly a humor/parody site for anyone with a brain and a sense of humor. Anyone who takes it seriously cannot be reasoned with.

    Don't Blame Me For Not Accepting Jesus

    It's your own fault you're not simple-minded enough to accept religion. It's high time you take some personal responsibility for not being credulous. Any way you try to paint it, the only one at fault for being skeptical and rational is yourself. Don't try to blame Jesus.

    Small Victories.

    You haven't lived until you've tasted me fire-grilled.

    Belief and afterlife

    I don't know. You have to ask all the people who invent afterlives because they are afraid of not existing.

    Christian, Would You Kill Your Son or Daughter if God Asked You To?

    I expect god's absence could be explained by him giving up on humans after Abraham failed the test and showed how mindless and barbaric humans could be.

    Belief and afterlife

    So many colorful ideas invented out of the fear of not existing.

    Fair or Equal?

    Doesn't sound fair to Kim who was responsible enough to not acquire debt.

    Small Victories.

    Is this supposed to be funny? Because I don't find it funny at all.

    Senate health care bill: The horror of being forced to work with the enemy

    A government that requires compromise to function, cannot function when it's populated with self-serving sociopaths who would rather watch the country burn than not get their way.

    "U.S. Image Suffers as Publics Around World Question Trump’s Leadership"

    Theoretically. Of course, positive perception could also be measured as a metric of how one is perceiving their own potential benefit. For example, "we're getting favorable trade advantages from this country, which benefit us financially, so we have a more positive view of them." But, yes, I...

    "U.S. Image Suffers as Publics Around World Question Trump’s Leadership"

    I find that, although beneficial results may be complex, they aren't impossible to trace and define - if they exist.

    The illusion of equal treatment

    To be fair, each newer generation seems to have been somewhat more spoiled by their parents and given unrealistic expectations. It's hard to accept and value earning something when everything has always been handed to you. Many of them have no other context, and think they deserve what they...

    "U.S. Image Suffers as Publics Around World Question Trump’s Leadership"

    I'm all for good will and positive vibes, but how did purported better perception of America under Obama translate into a meaningful benefit for your average American over the last 8 years?

    The illusion of equal treatment

    When people are used to getting something unfairly, and then you take it away, they will perceive it as unfair treatment. This has myriad applications, these days.
