1. Atheist bus ad campaign provokes bitterness in Barcelona

Comment #315114 by tieInterceptor on January 8, 2009 at 3:02 am

20% atheists in Barcelona only? I can't belive it, I grew up there and the churches are empty,

in no way people from 40 years down have an 80% belive in supernatural nonsense.

the Church better get use to atheism, it is not going to go away... Spain was historically very catholic, but they really screw their rep with their unapologetic support for the fascist coup. The new generation that includes me, has grown up in a non religious enviroment... specially in Catalonia.

and once you miss one generation of religious indoctrianation, it's too late.

tough luck for them

3. The Axis of Evo

Comment #298337 by tieInterceptor on December 7, 2008 at 10:18 am

I was 10 when I was tough in science class about evolution,

I remember understanding the basics of natural selection in biology class just by being told about giraffes, and how the ones with longer necks eat more leaves, grow stronger and have more babies with long necks and so on... I clearly remember the moment I understood the principle behind it, and finding it very interesting.

not hard at all to explain.

4. Does Religion Make You Nice?

Comment #280434 by tieInterceptor on November 7, 2008 at 2:05 pm

this bothers me, so they "ask" religious people how they feel about their life, and they answer that they are "happy happy..."

after the article mentions that if they give more to charity could be because they believe that they are being watched...

maybe they answer that they are happy too, due to the fact that the creator of the universe is over their shoulder watching them tick the box... don't want to look ungrateful to the creator, now would you?

seriously, the fact that the top 10 world democracies is overwhelmingly full of atheist countries, and that prisons have less atheists than the average is enough for me.

maybe atheist answer that they are not that happy because they are educated and informed and know better than give black and white answers.

yeah, drunks are well happy too. Sheesh

5. Surprise: Scientists for Obama

Comment #276132 by tieInterceptor on November 1, 2008 at 11:30 am

I'm so startled!

intelligent people for Obama? who figured!

6. Teaching hate in UK schools

Comment #275268 by tieInterceptor on October 31, 2008 at 3:22 am

ok, that 2nd video tries to justify and put some context to all of it, "it was the old curriculum "etc etc...

well, old or new curriculum, the fact is that a textbook filled with exercises as asinine as this

"fill in with 'muslims' or 'hell-fire' in the dotted line: Non-muslims will go to ........ and the most awesome people in the whole wide world are ........"

that stuff like this made it even once to the school curriculum, old or new, is a tell tell sign. Also the fact that a school financed by a family of religious dictators exist in the UK is retarded.

can you imagine a spanish school financed by Generalissimo Francisco Franco, with fascist motives and portraits all over the place... opening in the 1960 here in the uk?

Islam's not a religion, it's an ideology.
School's for learning, mixing it with all this narrow minded claptrap is a dangerous thing to do.

8. Turek vs. Hitchens Debate: Does God Exist?

Comment #274493 by tieInterceptor on October 30, 2008 at 5:51 am

mmm, I wished Hitchens whas a bit more to the point on answering some of the arguments, he seemed to me a bit slow on the Hitchens scale this time.

not his best performance imo.

9. Somalia: Rape Victim Executed

Comment #274159 by tieInterceptor on October 29, 2008 at 4:55 pm

Has any reports from Muslims been reported on this in the western press.

Are they saying that it is sick - I want to know.

If they are silent, then it is as if they threw the stones themselves.

Lee


nah, they are too busy checking all the teddy bear name tags.

10. Dare we stand up for Muslim women?

Comment #272162 by tieInterceptor on October 27, 2008 at 3:49 am

ThoughtsonCommonToad on October 26, 2008 at 3:56 pm || The fact that my last statement could be taken seriously at all is a symptom of said narcissistic campaigning by leading feminists.



Poe's Law claims another victim :(

11. Dare we stand up for Muslim women?

Comment #271745 by tieInterceptor on October 26, 2008 at 2:21 pm

ThoughtsonCommonToad on October 26, 2008 at 6:10 am .
How can we even think about discussing Muslim female rights when we have it so bad in the UK.



? do you care to point exactly what we have here in the uk that is so bad, that compares with family members throwing acid at your face, then the police blaming the victim and not investigating?

13. Dare we stand up for Muslim women?

Comment #270576 by tieInterceptor on October 24, 2008 at 9:56 am

67. Comment #270546 by Vinelectric There is no guarantee that whatever you did will land you in the Jannah without the scorches of hell as you rope-walked over it or scars from the angry "angels" that whip you up on the grave interrogation for muttering your answers.


rope-walking over hell and angry angels whipping you ... ?

the effort that they put into their imaginary punishments to scare the faithful into line is quite impressive, it would make a good movie if it wasn't in poor taste since it's thought as fact to terrorize children and adults alike.

I'm happy to hear that you recovered from the indoctrination Vinelectric,

After reading this stories of struggle with long held believes I feel somewhat like a "lesser" atheist ;-) I wasn't indoctrinated as a child, and didn't bother with religion one way or the other. So I'm humbled by other peoples struggle for their Atheism, and realise that I was lucky. I had it so easy that I took it for granted.

14. Dare we stand up for Muslim women?

Comment #270297 by tieInterceptor on October 24, 2008 at 2:32 am

I liked the article, but I find the comments underneath the linked article quite annoying, there is plenty of "we/you should fix the treatment of women in the west before we/you can talk down to them/us" kind of answers.

after "acid on the face", how can people do the "but you too, in the west" 6th grader comeback with a straight face... and most important, who thinks it's actually a solid point?

meh

15. All aboard the atheist bus campaign

Comment #268726 by tieInterceptor on October 22, 2008 at 7:42 am

Actions like this might save lives in the future. Or perhaps I'm just a dreamer.


like John Lennon said, "But you're not the only one."


(slightly modified to make sense, I know.)

16. All aboard the atheist bus campaign

Comment #268703 by tieInterceptor on October 22, 2008 at 6:48 am

well, I just donated 25quid, plus 7 in taxes?

looks like the donations keep coming fast... it's funny to check what people write on the donations list.

http://www.justgiving.com/atheistbus?from=UKSponsorExit

amazing, feels good to help,

then again I feel inadecuate next to Dr. Doctors 666 antichrist punds,

17. The soul? It may all be in your mind

Comment #267826 by tieInterceptor on October 21, 2008 at 6:08 am

the fact that brain damage changes peoples memories and personalities is for me all the evidence I need to not believe in the inmortal soul.

do computers go to heaven when you smash them with a hammer??

nah, as it goes, the electricity becomes heat, and once the heat dissipates... well you can't surf the net no-more...

would you take someone seriously if it told you that "now pc will be surfing the net forever in the sky above us, as an invisible undetectable ethereal computer" ?

me neither.

18. A 'values' voter speaks her mind on Obama

Comment #267195 by tieInterceptor on October 20, 2008 at 10:33 am

MaxD; And she seems to base her assessment of Obama's values on his name. Holy shit this too funny.
What is wrong with this lady?


religion, she has a bad case of it, and by the look on her face I think it has accumulated mostly on her cheeks and neck,

she should go and see a doctor before it's to late for chimo

19. A 'values' voter speaks her mind on Obama

Comment #267184 by tieInterceptor on October 20, 2008 at 10:22 am

"the mom was an atheist", "that really gets to me"

what the hell?!

and if it goes against the interest of your husband?

"the lord will help us"

ARG! brain dead ungulate... "his Christianity is not the right one... " yeah, you seem like the type of person who can discern what is right and what is wrong lady...


Religion poisons everything.

mitch_486 on October 17, 2008 at 11:49 am

Would anyone be so kind as to explain "replicating clay like molecules" to me?



I recommend watching this video

The origin of life made easy, by potholer54

really easy to understand video-explanation about the creation of RNA out of minerals, and how we know it too.

22. [UPDATED] Richard Dawkins on Harun Yahya's Atlas of Creation

Comment #265288 by tieInterceptor on October 16, 2008 at 11:17 am

Here are some quoted passages from Mr.Adnan Oktar's interview: "When Darwinism is torn apart, so will the heart of atheism be. Because atheism will be left with no power, foundation or basis. I tear apart the heart of atheism." "the PKK is a communist organisation, and Darwinism and materialism lie at the heart of communism. When Darwinism and materialism collapse, so will communism. When I break the back of Darwinism, the separatists have no means of making Marxist propaganda. That means there is activity that radically tears down that system."


ok, so he spells it out, he takes Darwinism=atheism=communism bull crap to the end.

so he has decided to "kill" evolution and he probably thinks that therefore that will stop atheism, and communism will go after that. Then everyone will run to embrace Islam, because that's the most common sense thing to do.

an ignoramus.

and in the BBC interview, even Al'qaeda he says is actually evil due to Darwinism, because apparently (says harun yaya) the majority of Al-qaeda was educated on the USA, and corrupted by Darwinism...

man, this guy pushes conspiracy theories and religious lunacy to new heights.

23. [UPDATED] Richard Dawkins on Harun Yahya's Atlas of Creation

to all the creationists trolls, spend some time watching this videos.

let's hope that natality rates do not finish us up like idiocracy suggested... idiocracy first 5min

25. YouTube Reinstates Pat Condell

Comment #262103 by tieInterceptor on October 8, 2008 at 2:02 am

Totally agree with styer and notsobad about Condell,

Condell does not attack people, attacks ideas... and also the people that follow those ideas to the bigoted and even murderous end.


Talking nice won't change a thing, it's time for straight talk and mockery when needed.

26. YouTube Reinstates Pat Condell

Comment #261020 by tieInterceptor on October 6, 2008 at 10:35 am

there is a new Pat Condell video on youtube!

http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=a-KHHKuVVRc

it's clarifying some of the points that got the previous video put down.

27. Petition YouTube for Pat Condell

Comment #259204 by tieInterceptor on October 3, 2008 at 4:24 am

Now on Pat condel's channel it reads that the video was put down because of "hate speech" on minute 2:20 of the video.

that part simply says that " we all know that that country (Saudi Arabia) is entirely ill"

OOOOH, hate speech! oh Noes!

seriously.

Muslims calling that hate speech is beyond the pale.

as a kuffar I'm offended by the Qu'ran, it calls me names, :'(

hopefully my childish ploy will work,

28. Petition YouTube for Pat Condell

Comment #258825 by tieInterceptor on October 2, 2008 at 11:43 am

let's hope we can make enough noise to sway youtube to put the video back.

youtube is full of muslim videos that are highly offensive and none of them goes down.

we can't let flagging campaigns win.

29. Petition YouTube for Pat Condell

Comment #258409 by tieInterceptor on October 2, 2008 at 2:00 am

this is pathetic, I wonder what criteria got Pat Condell's video put down?

probably the fact that videos like that get youtube.com banned in entire Islamic countries.

money talks, and pc correctness too.

those comments on his webpage are disgusting, what kind of perverted mind comes up with stuff like that?

looking forward to undercover mosque; the return... tonight.

Looking forward to another undercover mosque, the first one was a real eye opener.

34. The rise of Miliband brings at last the prospect of an atheist prime minister

Comment #234472 by tieInterceptor on August 21, 2008 at 12:12 pm

Amazing article,

I'm flabbergasted that something like this is actually on the newspapers, it means that the atheist blow back against the theist attempts to gain political power is starting to pay off.

hip hip , hurray.

35. We need to stop being such cowards about Islam

Comment #229827 by tieInterceptor on August 14, 2008 at 3:46 am

very good article, I hope more follow his lead and stop tip toeing around Islam absurdities and fascist ideals.

they can't stab us to death all at the same time, united we win.

36. Charlie Brooker's screen burn

Comment #227991 by tieInterceptor on August 11, 2008 at 7:30 am

'Make me a Christian' was a follow-up to an earlier programme 'Make me a Muslim'. Did anyone see that?


MAKE ME A MUSLIM YOUTUBE PLAYLIST 5 EPISODES

got all of it in this playlist,

it starts by saying, "Britain is in a mess, antisocial behaviour ,binge drinking and promiscuity are rife... one man thinks the answer is Islam... to rediscover the values of decency, respect and moderation... "

lol

It has a gay man defending an immams right to want sharia law in the uk (he probably dones not know what that entails)

quite annoying program, because the people that go through it don't know Islam enough to ask hard questions.

37. A third of Muslim students back killings

Comment #219885 by tieInterceptor on July 27, 2008 at 4:49 pm

1/3 is more than enough to do some real damage.

Specially when the other 2 thirds is a passive majority that would most likely never lift a finger against another Muslim,

if it comes the time to defend the infidels and democracy from the radical "brothers and sisters" I wont be holding my breath waiting for the 2/3 non violent Muslims to come to the rescue.

worrying to say the least.

38. Red hot enlightenment led me to believe in one fewer god

Comment #218246 by tieInterceptor on July 25, 2008 at 5:50 am

Comment #217692 by Krapulator

For an even better read, check out Bill Muehlenberg's response to this article:
http://www.billmuehlenberg.com/2008/07/23/889/


My favourite answer,

"Paul, if religion were a matter of geography, Christianity, Islam and atheism would be confined to Christian, Islamic and aheistic countries, but they are not: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Religions
David Skinner, UK"

he probably never heard any of this words/concepts:

missionary,
child indoctrination,
religions wars,
have as many children as you can, and do not use condoms, and spread the good word etc...
...

when they type nonsense like that, do they think they are making any sense? or is just a red herring/dialogue-smoke-screen??

I want to slap that guy, shake him and yell... wake up!

39. Richard Dawkins on Al Jazeera English

Comment #215370 by tieInterceptor on July 21, 2008 at 6:03 pm

Good interview,

glad to see Dawkins not holding his tongue after that nutter called saying "evolution is false because the particular myth my parents indoctrinated me into, tells me quite explicitly that we come from Adam (peace be upon him), so you are wrong!, hah take that"

... seriously and, peace be upon him?... it really bothers me when they add that line after everything.

I'm happy to see that the choice of verbal diarrhoea is starting to narrow... they do not come with new stuff that's for sure... and it helps that now we have short and water tight logic answers to most of the usual theist crap.

I must suggest thought that mr Dawkins could have added in there the tried and tested "who designed the designer??" it's a simple answer and it exposes the fallacy quite well.

I'm just guessing that quite a large % of the audience is too thick to understand the more winded answer of ... "for it to make any sense, a God, by definition, has to be more complex and more powerful than the universe that he is postulated to create, so it doesn't really solve anything to bring forth a supernatural intelligence as the answer to the big question, because a god just leads to an infinite regress"

;)

40. France rejects Muslim woman over radical practice of Islam

Comment #209785 by tieInterceptor on July 13, 2008 at 10:38 am

Mitchell Gilks says:
I think though, however horrible, there is something to be said about denying the citizenship of people that threaten to change society for the worse, because of cultural or religious ideas. If, as some of these european country have to worry about, as I understand, there is a threat of the majority becoming muslim because of imigation, and they had sufficient grounds to believe that this would cause the institutionalizing of misogyny, or other human rights violations, then I do think that it is important to take preventative measures.


I totally agree, we should look at the future, and examine the projected natality rates and immigration rates and speculate on the result,

then act on the data, and change immigration policy on the grounds that we don't want to turn into another Iran in two generations.

we should not be afraid of canceling the visas of many newcomers if they do not belive in democracy and sexual equality... sounds harsh, but if they want what they left at home (sharia law), then why are they here?

41. Harper says new mosque shows 'the true and benevolent face of Islam'

Comment #205338 by tieInterceptor on July 7, 2008 at 6:01 am

Comment #205325 by Vaal after the "Undercover Mosque" programme showed the leaders of what were considered the most respectable mosques in Britain outside shaking hands with politicians, yet behind closed doors were spouting the most poisonous bile and hate speeches.

Until Islam makes perfectly clear that people born to Islam have freedom OF religion and freedom FROM religion, then Islam should be banned in any civilised country, as a gross violation of basic human rights.


I'm 100% with you, that documentary is a must see, it really shows what kind of two faced crap they pull with smiles on their faces every day,

Until they openly and honestly recant from calling for the death of apostates of Islam they should be banned from any civilized nation, a group that punishes with death anyone that tries to leave is not worth of any respect.

also, if they recant it has to be fully and truly, not with the caveat that "we don't promote it in the uk, because is against the law of the land" that kind of temporary basis bull crap I heard Imams say on tv is infuriating ... boils down to this... "apostasy goes unpunished in the uk, for now, until we take over and Islam can be fully realised".

it should be, reform the religion now, or GTFO!

44. Award-winning comedian George Carlin dies

Comment #198055 by tieInterceptor on June 23, 2008 at 6:01 am

can't believe he is gone,

in his latest videos he really looked frail, I was afraid this was coming.

he was the best, his religious sketches really exposed the absurdity of organized religion. Carlin smashed the dogma with clever satire that made you think,

I will miss him

45. Oystein Elgaroy - the Christian defender who became an Atheist

Comment #195090 by tieInterceptor on June 17, 2008 at 5:31 pm

is tank for real?

"thinking" with your heart could be the problem, the ancients thought that we used our hearts to think, since it beats faster when in stress...

that same people wrote the myths you still believe in, seriously... snap out of it, scaremongering with images of eternal damnation is as low brow as it gets,

and if you don't get it, just read in wikipedia about the Duat,

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duat

how scary the underworld of the Egyptian religion is to you?


same thing, different myth

46. Oystein Elgaroy - the Christian defender who became an Atheist

Comment #195045 by tieInterceptor on June 17, 2008 at 3:33 pm

bravo,

a person who looked at the evidence and accepted the conclusion, whatever it is, like a good scientist.

The fact that this does not happen by the thousands everyday, is what puzzles me. Religions seem so obviously man made that is a mystery to me how come they still exist.

maybe humanity's average IQ is lower than I thought, or childhood indoctrination is too hard to erase once it takes hold, maybe fear of death is too pervasive... probably all of the above to some degree.

anyway,

got to thank McGrath for writing such a weak and uninspired book that it can actually turn belivers into disbelievers, not a small feat.

:)

47. From Big Bang to Us - Made Easy

Comment #193281 by tieInterceptor on June 15, 2008 at 7:19 am

I've been a fan of potholer54 "made easy" youtube videos since episode 3 or 4,

great to see that it's featured here, Potholer did a great job.

Love the one about our human ancestry, it's very powerful and moving.

And as many have mentioned already, the best thing is how clearly explains HOW we know... it really shows how important the scientific method is, and how amazing it is to follow the evidence to get real knowledge.
Also, by contrast it exposes how ridiculous it is to believe in any "personal revelation" scribbled down by a goat herder on a parchment in the bronze age.

Comment #187577 by tieInterceptor on June 2, 2008 at 10:22 am

Funny how STEPHEN O'DOHERTY , talks and says nothing,

"a schooling system in Australia which enables diverse expressions of identity and religious commitment and also allows our communities to come together around wider commitments to the common good"

it's like a politician talking,
