1. 'My daughter deserved to die for falling in love'

Comment #178580 by robotaholic on May 11, 2008 at 4:11 pm

The father needs to be fed a bucket full of Stachybotrys and thallium.

2. I Am Evolution

Comment #178571 by robotaholic on May 11, 2008 at 3:56 pm

I think the point of her essay was to show that evolution is correct. It also seems perfectly logical that if you asked an anthropologist if they believe in evolution that they would say yes. There is nothing wrong with this paper and also I enjoyed it. -Some people are just argumentative and difficult...

Half the people objecting to the word "believe" in this paper would not object if used in the context of quantum physics: "I believe in quantum physics."- I can't imagine someone objecting: "Quantum physics is not something to believe in- it's something to accept"-

Like I said, people should just not be so uptight!

(besides she's really really pretty lol http://www.personal.psu.edu/hmd120/ )

Comment #177858 by robotaholic on May 9, 2008 at 8:47 pm

If you see the space shuttle crashing, you can see that these guys in the white coats don't always get it right.
that sentence makes me sad -

oh and ambymacula:
What could make you more competent to argue against creationism than a background in evolutionary biology?
- That was AWESOME! -

6. Atheists are nice people who will roast in hell, says Cardinal

Botox is just upset because a world renown Rock Star told him off and embarrased him for screeching so much - he'll get over it

14. Faith in Britain today

15. Faith in Britain today

Comment #177072 by robotaholic on May 8, 2008 at 2:11 pm

The Random House Unabridged Dictionary's definition of "editor" says: "A person having managerial and sometimes policy-making responsibility for the editorial part of a publishing firm or of a newspaper, magazine or other publication; a person who edits material for publication, films etc." While technically accurate, this description of an editor's role misses the point. The job of an editor is, among other things, to prod, shape, wheedle, cajole, mediate, challenge, anticipate, nit-pick, chastise, inspire, support, confront, defend, harangue, and, as required, suggest different words, phrases, or grammar.

-I don't (after reading this bs) understand how religious stuff gets published. -the ramblin' man who wrote this stuff never stops

19. Evolution's Critics Shift Tactics With Schools

Comment #174788 by robotaholic on May 3, 2008 at 1:55 pm

There is no end to this is there? *sighs* Every possible angle of hyjacking science is being pursued. You have to be a Pro-Science ACTIVIST just to keep science in this country.

20. Was the new finger a 'natural' miracle?

Comment #174515 by robotaholic on May 2, 2008 at 2:37 pm

hmmm -I think Bobbit would like to hear about this...

21. Lying for Jesus?

Comment #174272 by robotaholic on May 2, 2008 at 12:37 am

hahah, you shift-

Aside from your obvious prepubescent comments - I want to say that I would like you to expound on how Styrer is so moody plz

22. Lying for Jesus?

Comment #174270 by robotaholic on May 2, 2008 at 12:31 am

Bonzai you make it sound as if beating off is a bad thing to do...it did sound so negative. I am wondering if you find something morally wrong with beating off...Could you please elaborate>

23. Lying for Jesus?

Comment #174268 by robotaholic on May 2, 2008 at 12:27 am

Mega Disaters happen...

anyway- bonzai I'm honestly wondering what a Styrer mood is

Epeeist I looked up your name the other day and found out what it means and it was interesting and I wonder if you fence electrafied :D

24. Lying for Jesus?

Comment #174262 by robotaholic on May 2, 2008 at 12:12 am

Hey Bonzai, I'm listening to music you would hate - it's complex and NOT influenced by anything you like lol- just thought I'd share

25. Lying for Jesus?

Comment #174260 by robotaholic on May 2, 2008 at 12:09 am

-that's just your brain :D - give it a break! - lol - no i love Dennett's answer to the Mary problem and also the Chinese Room experiment. I wish I could have learned from Searl! - - He's so cool. But you have to admit that Patricia Churchland's rescent thing with Voles and ethics is interesting.

oh and about my AVatar - I think it was influenced by Zombie Nation lol

26. Lying for Jesus?

Comment #174257 by robotaholic on May 1, 2008 at 11:58 pm

wow you're for real

I really care for Dennett's destruction of the classical objections of materialism - but I think he doesn't go far enough like the Churchland's do. To me- it seems they find the logical conclusion and don't care if you don't like it. lol - There are so many unresolved issues with consciousness -

27. Does science make belief in God obsolete?

Comment #174254 by robotaholic on May 1, 2008 at 11:51 pm

This is a freakin' great post on this website totally - my rating of this piece is totally high

28. Lying for Jesus?

Comment #174251 by robotaholic on May 1, 2008 at 11:43 pm

what would you write Mphil? because I'm a fan of both (possibly I agree with Churchlands most- uh since I'm an unfeeling pure materialist to the maximum)

I must say also that : Online Papers on Consciousness is my favorite website:
http://consc.net/online

but I don't care for Chalmers at all

29. Is religion a threat to rationality and science?

Comment #174249 by robotaholic on May 1, 2008 at 11:41 pm

hahahaha

30. Pat Condell: Anthology DVD available now!

Comment #174247 by robotaholic on May 1, 2008 at 11:39 pm

What is this "Pat Condell is no Carlin"-???- he's obviously not trying to be humerous at all- has that fact escaped

31. How to reconcile Richard Dawkins?

Comment #174246 by robotaholic on May 1, 2008 at 11:37 pm

the lack of belief in a 'celestial dictatorship' doesn't autodrive them to social darwinsism - someone needs to make that point better

32. Bill Good Interviews Richard Dawkins

Comment #174242 by robotaholic on May 1, 2008 at 11:31 pm

I think Richard Dawkins is the biggest Rock Star in 2008!

33. Pat Condell: Anthology DVD available now!

Comment #174228 by robotaholic on May 1, 2008 at 11:13 pm

I think Pat Condell usually says exactly what I think but never formulated. His recent rant on Faith is AWESOME- probably his best work ever.



"The Curse of Faith" is GREAT!

You're going to Fry forever. Eternal unimaginable suffering and Jesus isn't going to do a damn thing to stop it. After 2,000 yrs of BS he owes us all another crucifiction.

34. Science leads to killing people

Comment #173776 by robotaholic on May 1, 2008 at 8:33 am

I feel sorry for catwoman! - I can't believe he made that statement that "science leads to killing people"! - I promise you he doesn't think that when he takes his viagra (ugh sorry)

35. Lying for Jesus?

Comment #170653 by robotaholic on April 27, 2008 at 9:48 pm

pascal's wager is so retarded- you can't "choose" to believe anything...so pfft- nevermind - someone always brings it up and i never get it- sort of like hitler - who cares what hitler believed? - he was MAD! - just because a society accepts evolution and isn't particularly religious doesn't mean it's going to turn into a NAZI state-
-sorry for ranting

oh yeah and that reminds me - hitler isn't a good example of darwinism or evolution or whatever anyway because...weren't his parents cousins or something lol -

36. Does science make belief in God obsolete?

Comment #170638 by robotaholic on April 27, 2008 at 9:33 pm

Bonzai you just like to argue -and you're all over the place on just about every issue in every thread- I have yet to read one sentence of yours that is not somehow, at least slightly apologetic toward irrationality-

-oh yeah and I like all kinds of music -I have 40 thousand mp3's- you probably just don't like music

37. Does science make belief in God obsolete?

Comment #170634 by robotaholic on April 27, 2008 at 9:31 pm

Hey Bizarro retard, if you have any evidence that the invisible, intangible, inaudible, yahweh guy is not simply fiction, let's hear it- until then, it's just as easy to claim that the FSM is the essence of morality and so is my ass

38. Does science make belief in God obsolete?

Comment #170315 by robotaholic on April 27, 2008 at 3:41 pm

Bonzai I agree, but I was just showing that you were wrong...

39. Does science make belief in God obsolete?

Comment #170307 by robotaholic on April 27, 2008 at 3:32 pm

I don't think believing in the supernatural necessarily prevents one from discovering and seeking scientific knowledge
Bonzai, it technically takes up your time which could be used pursuing actual nature

I see all supernatural belief as negative as it tends to hinder the realisation of certain truths

Actually I agree that it does tend to hinder the realization of certain truths - for example if someone believes in the FSM that would hinder the realization that the FSM doesn't exist

I don't believe most people are drawn to religion because they seek a substitution for "explanations", at least not the scientific kind. I think this is a fundamental misunderstanding of what religion means to many believers.

Bonzai my parents are living proof that you are wrong.

Religions begin in mythologies
Scientology, Raeliens, universal life church, Temple of psychic youth...there are many religions that didn't originate in myth (unless you consider science fiction mythical lol)

40. Does science make belief in God obsolete?

Comment #170302 by robotaholic on April 27, 2008 at 3:26 pm

shermer, dawkins, TCT, anyone, I don't care what the definition of god is - I am not going to worship ANYTHING - the idea of worship is perverted

41. Soldier Sues Army, Saying His Atheism Led to Threats

Comment #169711 by robotaholic on April 26, 2008 at 4:12 pm

When I read "We went to war because we thought God was on our side"- I am so amazed someone can look up at the sky, at outer space, the billions of light years of majestic galaxies and conclude that "god" would give one tiny nanosecond's thought to who wins any war on this speck of dust floating in pitch blackness. - It seems to me to be the ultimate in conceit. Religious people really are conceited.

sometimes I think things are so backwards --like if your an atheist you think this life is all there is and you will fight HARDER and the best you can- if you think there is heaven or w/e after you die, your not as good a soldier because if someone or yourself gets killed - eehh, you'll be fine in heaven-

42. Mount Vernon schools to hire investigator in Bible case

Comment #169041 by robotaholic on April 25, 2008 at 2:24 pm

when he's fired he should be escorted out by police officers IMHO - and wow branding people is kind of rough don't ya think? - they're not cows (er sheep)

43. Humans nearly wiped out 70,000 years ago, study says

44. Yoko Ono sues over use of John Lennon videos

45. Student's 'Be Happy, Not Gay' t-shirt ok

Comment #169007 by robotaholic on April 25, 2008 at 2:07 pm

he should NOT be allowed to wear it under any circumstances...instead he should be forcfully sodomized

just kidding, it really depends on what color it is and what else he's wearing ya know- besides most kids in school can't read anyway right? - oh and also you know as well as I do that the most homophobic ppl usually have several priest fantasies- he was probably coached to wear it by his priest (if you know what I mean lol)

46. Interview with Dan Dennett

Comment #168270 by robotaholic on April 24, 2008 at 8:56 pm

i like the quote "the mind is what the brain does" - incidentally right now - Miscavage's own daughters are defecting from the church of scientology- it's on nightline-
mabye it's too soon to tell but it sounds like the whole thing is impoloding (hopefully) and mabye anonymous is having something to do with it- what do you think?

Edit - it was his niece not daughter- oh well

47. Investigating Atheism

Comment #168152 by robotaholic on April 24, 2008 at 3:41 pm

I wish a Denial of Service attack on that website

48. Is religion a threat to rationality and science?

Comment #168147 by robotaholic on April 24, 2008 at 3:17 pm

what I don't get about Pascal's stupid wager is how do you make yourself believe anything? Either you pretty well believe it or not right?

Like Dawkins says ...to paraphrase "why is believing so important?"

Why not just be a good person, treat other's kindly, and look cute and be cute! :)

and that phrase

Perhaps he might care to re-read the book of Job.
made me upset slightly -
God asks Job where he was when He laid the foundations of the Earth?
well the earth isn't on any foundation, it's floating in dark outerspace, and Where was Lord Winston (or god for that matter)when humans were evolving for the last 200,000 yrs from our common ancestor with other great apes? -(you can see Winston here lol: http://www.robertwinston.org/)

I am pissed that he doubted Dennett's scholarship. Dennett attended Phillips Exeter Academy, and received his B.A. in philosophy from Harvard University in 1963, where he was a student of W.V. Quine. In 1965, he received his D.Phil. in philosophy from Oxford.

I have seen what Dennett can do regarding shredding an opponent in text. He's pretty vicious when he wants to be.

49. Resentment Over Darwin Evolves Into a Documentary

Comment #165018 by robotaholic on April 20, 2008 at 11:45 pm

Does anyone doubt he was mad?
