1. God-Fearing People: Why are we so scared of offending Muslims?

Comment #60019 by beautyscientist on July 31, 2007 at 1:36 pm

The truly tragic thing about this article is that the author is now quite likely to be physically attacked as a direct result. The muslim threat of violence is a very real threat to our free speech.

2. Religion beat became a test of faith

Windfall,

I think that if there were a God who influenced human behaviour, that would be apparent and would be very convincing. As humans we are very good at spotting consciousness. If there were a God he might easily choose to let the Universe run in the rational way it does and not intervene in any way other than to talk directly to individuals. We would be able to see that by the way those individuals behaved.

The fact that religious people are no better, and arguably behave much worse than, the non-religious seems to me a very strong and in fact compelling argument against his existance.

3. In the know

I think the Guardian is enjoying the controversy about God that is quite topical at the moment, but is having trouble finding sane people to put the pro-God case.

Though judging by this effot they are probably getting splinters in their fingers from so much barrel-bottom scraping.

If you are reading this Mr Vernon, my advice is try rubbing sticks together. Civilisation is advancing all the time, you have to try and keep up.

Still at least he isn't completely barmy.
