    What do people think "atheist" means?

    "Evidence is a very subjective thing, son! We're all speculatin' as t'why we're 'ere!" "Wot? On the Religious Forums?"

    Is the WWE violence or a performing arts? What do people think God would think about this?

    I have no idea who Jake Roberts is. Sorry. Once again, please see: "Minutiae, debate the"

    Islam’s teaching on response to abuse and mockery

    Yes. If only religion didn't prompt, motivate, instigate, and provide a convenient excuse for so many lamentable actions throughout human history. If only.

    Is the WWE violence or a performing arts? What do people think God would think about this?

    It wouldn't have surprised me in the least if your rebuttal had been in support of the WWE. ... Meanwhile (as you've argued) it might appear to its adherents that the claims made by religion makes sense ... but we know it isn't so when we bother to investigate what's going on.

    Is the WWE violence or a performing arts? What do people think God would think about this?

    Never in a million years would it have occurred to me to mention professional wrestling and religion in the same breath ... but it's really a fascinating comparison. It certainly appears that neither pursuit is based on reality and each essentially boils down to elaborate theater. And the...

    Islam’s teaching on response to abuse and mockery

    Isn't one already offering a grave insult for not unquestionably assuming that the truth claims being accepted by the "huge amount of people" in question are true? Isn't denying the claim(s) tantamount to slander? You make it sound as if there's a meaningful distinction being made between the...

    Islam’s teaching on response to abuse and mockery

    Imagine how different the history of the world would be if your assertion were true?

    What are your thoughts on Chruch's refusing to wed gays?

    When one stops to consider how often theists will argue that there's no separation of church and state ... doesn't it seem entirely fair to demand that all religions should forfeit their tax-exempt status irrespective of their position on gay marriage? As it says in the Qur'an: "Let there be...

    I had to bite the bullet

    Would it matter? Isn't that the theist's job? Why not ask a vegan for their favorite method of cooking a steak up? I dunno. But given the typical claims regarding the attributes of God, then he'd almost certainly already know what would convince me. Is it that he cannot convince me? Or...

    Missionaries At My Door

    Allow me to offer some clarification and make an additional inquiry: 1.) I wasn't inquiring about the theism of demons. I was inquiring about the theism of Jehovah's Witnesses. 2.) Are you trying to imply that Jehovah's Witness are demons? So it's really just a function of size, correct...

    What do people think "atheist" means?

    None of which are convincing arguments for the existence of a god or gods. So I'll skip addressing the mathematical window dressing you've offered up. Don't get me wrong, however. It was all very impressive looking. Again, I think Tolkien would have argued that he only resorted to calling...

    Atheism is not a default position

    Based on how things have been going here, I'm not convinced that you're going to be the one to accomplish it ... but I'm not prepared to rule it out universally. Great. Now ... Q. - Could you please explain what an "unconditioned I" is? Try uttering words without a mouth and a brain or to...

    Missionaries At My Door

    At the bare minimum, you'd agree that you were dealing with a fellow theist, correct? 30 Years A Watchtower Slave. Soon to be a major motion picture from director Steve McQueen! Could you do me a favor and explain how one might go about differentiating between a cult and a "legitimate"...

    What do people think "atheist" means?

    "Look here you! It isn't my job to describe the theist's deity! That's just plain lazy theology you're pushing! Now get off my porch before I call the cops!"

    What do people think "atheist" means?

    Psst! It probably goes something like: How can the atheist possibly not believe in what they cannot define? ... It also conveniently ignores the fact that the theist is the one that's obliged to describe the god(s). It's sort of like having the snake oil salesman show up your front door and...

    Islam’s teaching on response to abuse and mockery

    1.) It almost sounds like you're surprised to find inconsistencies in a religion. 2.) Doesn't your first example automatically disprove the second?

    What do people think "atheist" means?

    It's a bit like asking someone to explain what makes automobiles go without using the words "internal" or "combustion" or "engine."

    What do people think "atheist" means?

    The definition is correct, but incomplete. There are indeed atheists who believe that God® does not exist. But doesn't that mean that Christian monotheists who believe that other gods don't exist are also atheists? They're basically militant atheists with a soupçon of special pleading: "All...

    What do people think "atheist" means?

    Baloney. "X" is merely a placeholder. We might just as easily agree to leave a blank space. Let's try it: "The great thing about statements of the form that some person "doesn't believe in ___ is that, for any _____, there exists no entity, thing, process, etc., that is ____ and that this...

    Atheism is not a default position

    By all means ... explain the difference. Please.
