1. Sharia law in UK is 'unavoidable'

Comment #123758 by philosowizer on February 7, 2008 at 3:27 pm

Communist: I already corrected my last statement about Archbishop Williams. I do not believe his is an instigator or actively conspiring with radical muslims. My original post was written just after I read the article so yes I jumped the gun. I later said he is a useful idiot. I don't disagree with your correction. Point taken.

2. Sharia law in UK is 'unavoidable'

allright Communist. I admit my knowledge regarding Quisling or Norweigan history for that matter is sketchy. I don't think Rowan Williams is secretly conspiring with the muslim brotherhood or bin laden to bring sharia into the UK. I guess the best term I can come up with is that Archbishop Williams is a Useful Idiot.

3. Sharia law in UK is 'unavoidable'

unbelievable. I think this is what Hitchen's is talking about when referring to the capitulation of Christian representatives to Islam. What a foolish man. He just can't bend over far enough. This is not only weak, an outrage, cowardice but also sooooooo dangerous. I hope history will judge this man the same as it did Quisling or Neville Chamblerlain.

4. U.S.: 'Demonic' militants sent women to bomb markets in Iraq

I second Jimbob's request. It is crucial that arguments dismissing dogma be broadcasted to the world. It is only lack of knowledge and being unaware of the arguments that has enabled this insanity to threaten our existence in the 21st century.

5. Richard Dawkins on The Big Debate

Comment #118369 by philosowizer on January 30, 2008 at 4:08 pm

I thought Dawkins did very well. When he pushed the apostacy in Islam question I cheered. If any other organization had a death penalty for leaving it but at the same time was requesting funding for Schools promoting their belief system. They would be jeered mocked and possibly a criminal investigation pending. It is so amazing that this thing called religion has morphed and intertwined itself into a position where it is not rigorously criticized.

6. Onward Christian teachers?

Comment #87920 by philosowizer on November 13, 2007 at 4:15 pm

Agrees with USA Limey and John Frum. I enjoy AC Grayling's articles lambasting Christianity as much as anybody but right now the situation would be best served for everyone to pool their efforts and launch an all out intellectual attack on Islam. In comparison with public stonings, beheadings, floggings, amputations and judicially sanctioned rape; (meaning sharia law) the church of england is almost a straw man argument. Hitch said at one of his talks if you haven't criticized Jihad you haven't criticized religion. The most basic of basic rights are at stake.

7. There is no God and Dawkins is his Prophet

Comment #66274 by philosowizer on August 29, 2007 at 2:52 pm

That was a horrible article.

"As to the problem with the infinite regress, other thinkers have already come up with alternative solutions, which Dawkins does not seem to be aware of. One is that God is unique in as much as he is his own cause and that God therefore is the very solution of the regress problem."

When will these people get it through their thick heads you can't create God from nothing either. And as Dawkins says "Now your stuck with explaining the existence of God."

8. The Bible's literary sins

Comment #63524 by philosowizer on August 14, 2007 at 4:52 pm

I have never been a believer but always wanted to tell the Jehova Witnesses who came to my door that yes I've read your book and was not impressed. Because they wouldn't go away I finally decided that's it I'm going to read your stupid book. I read the King James Bible from Genesis to the Revelations of ST John the Divine. Cover to bloody cover and agree wholeheartedly with the author of this article. Just a bunch of different tribes running around the desert smiting each other. Other than that it was terribly boring. In fact that was one of the things that shocked me the most. How this book got the reputation it did is beyond me. Basically the sensation I got from the 1000 pages or so the book contains was one of eating sand and serious braincell loss.

9. The Flea Circus Invites a Newcomer!

Comment #60320 by philosowizer on August 1, 2007 at 3:14 pm

I think that highly potent Flea Collars should be prescribed for Dawkins, Harris etc because with all these fleas around there's a potential epidemic.

10. Debate between Christopher Hitchens and Edd Doerr

Comment #58359 by philosowizer on July 24, 2007 at 3:41 pm

Agrees with KRKBAB

It is becoming increasingly evident that not only are people defining God differently but they are changing their definition of God constantly in real time when they debate someone who is challenging their view. Ed Doeer seems to be using this same tactic when apologizing for believers.

11. Susan Blackmore interviews Dan Dennett

Agrees with Thor Wholeheartedly

12. A force for evil?

I think Shuggy did an excellent job re-wording that sentence.
