    Is the Nature of God Revealed in Nature?

    Please explain this. Symbols of what? Symbolized by whom?

    If you don't believe in judgement, where are the ethics coming from?

    This silly notion of no morality without religion is just part of the big scam. It helps to keep pews and collection plates full.

    Birmingham University manuscript of Quran: Who could have written/dictated the following verses?

    I am more interested in whatever evidence your author used to support his conclusion. The world is crawling with religious crackpots. A mere quote from some author means very little. Just a weak argument from authority. I realize that quoting from books is the favourite religious mode of...

    Evidence showing evolution from one species to another

    Nonsense. The evolutionary algorithm is very simple. Organisms vary as they reporoduce; this is observed and uncontestable. The mechanisms are known and are known to be random. Environments impose limits on survival and reproduction. This is observed and uncontestable. These limits influence...

    Islam’s teaching on response to abuse and mockery

    Sure you can judge someone by their religion, at least provisionally, and certainly if that is all you have to go on. Otherwise, one would have to think that religions have no tenets. The hard part may be finding out what particular flavour one is dealing with.

    KY County Clerk could be held in contempt of court for refusing to issue marriage licenses

    This is the crux of the matter. She is trying to apply her superstitious taboos to everyone.

    Experiencing God

    By your account, how does one distinguish knowledge from delusion? One needs to fact check one's experiences against reality, never mind convincing another person.

    Experiencing God

    So it is just in their heads, then. No gods, then. Thanks for clarifying.

    Experiencing God

    Or, given that we are all the same species, it might just mean that we are all subject to the same quirks and misfirings of our psychology. More is needed to establish that these experiences access anything external and real.

    Experiencing God

    So, nothing to do with matters of fact. That's what I have thought for a long time. However, you seem to be using a different notion of the word "theological" than I have encountered before. Please explain.

    Experiencing God

    I would be grateful if you would explain the nature of a theological claim.

    Islam’s teaching on response to abuse and mockery

    I see, like muslim scriptures, clerics and media constantly do to non-muslims?

    Anything making JWs look bad is from Satan

    Why would Satan bother? These religions do a good job of making themselves look bad.

    Islam’s teaching on response to abuse and mockery

    Please answer the question.

    Islam’s teaching on response to abuse and mockery

    Well, well, a self-confessed barbarian!

    God Recreated the Earth 6,000 Years Ago!

    Would you call the police if your house were hurgled while you were away? After all, no one was there to see, and evidence means nothing to you.

    Militant Atheism

    Why is militancy against normal theism wrong if the theism is shown to be both mistaken and noxious? Crimes committed due to militancy are still wrong, of course, regardless of the flavour of the militant.

    Sharing an observation about atheism here on RF

    So what other method has a good track record for ascertaining matters of fact?

    Trusting God(s) Considering Experience

    Most of these boil down to determined gullibility. One can wrench and twist scripture to support any proposition whatever. I suppose that an ingenious person could do as much with a cookbook. Sure there is biblical scholarship: there is Sherlock Holmes scholarship as well. I am unimpressed. As...

    Sharing an observation about atheism here on RF

    It produces correct predictions. If it were bogus, the spacecraft would miss their destinations, for example. It makes sense to expect it to continue to work.
