Happy Birthday and thanks for the good work!

2. US scientists close to creating artificial life: study

Comment #115824 by thelivingbrian on January 24, 2008 at 9:43 pm

With so many religious people here in the U.S., I'm surprised at how many scientific breakthroughs are achieved here.

3. The Four Horsemen: on Christmas

Comment #99906 by thelivingbrian on December 17, 2007 at 7:54 pm

1080p! Wow! Perhaps you could do torrent files to save yourself the bandwidth. It's just a passing idea, I'm not trying to give Josh even more work.

Thanks guys, this place is awesome!

Now THAT'S an extended phenotype!

5. THE FOUR HORSEMEN - Available Now on DVD!

Comment #99207 by thelivingbrian on December 15, 2007 at 11:46 pm

OH MY DARWIN! Of all the conversations that have taken place in the history of humankind, this is the one for which I would love to be a fly on the wall. It stuns me that I can actually watch this, without needing hearsay or speculation. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
(I may even be able to get some religious people to watch this--with promises of watching the most prominent atheists having a private conversation.)

6. Jury Awards Father $11M in Funeral Case

Certainly this will be overturned. Their speech may not be nice, but it is constitutionally protected.

7. Atheists don't believe in anything

Comment #81939 by thelivingbrian on October 25, 2007 at 12:28 pm

I believe in evidence.

8. The Transcendental Argument for God

Comment #81600 by thelivingbrian on October 25, 2007 at 12:39 am

The proposed argument is self-rufting. It states that theist's arguments are founded on a notion. Notions are not true logic, so it follows (from the given argument) that theists cannot claim logic or coherence in their arguments.

It is a bit ironic that an argument that opens with the phrase "Atheism is self-refuting," is self-refuting.

9. That's not MY God or Religion you're criticising

Comment #81296 by thelivingbrian on October 24, 2007 at 2:45 pm

response: I'm criticizing the belief in any god that requires faith. Faith is not a virtue...

This response allows you to criticize faith and explain it's foolishness. God is just a part of it.

10. MORE GOOD NEWS for US taxpayers

Comment #72529 by thelivingbrian on September 21, 2007 at 1:07 pm

I'm glad you've lengthened the acronym from RDF to RDFRS. This will help people to understand that the purpose of the organization is for the promotion of reason and science and not the promotion of it's founder.
That and rdf.org is a church site (kinda ironic).

'course, now you need a new logo.

11. Open letter to YouTube video

12. Good News: Both our Foundations are now Officially Recognized as Charities

Congrats! I look forward to an updated RDF store.

13. Why Richard Dawkins is right on alternative medicine - but not when it comes to religion

Comment #62642 by thelivingbrian on August 10, 2007 at 2:17 pm

"Most importantly, religion - and certainly the established Judaeo-Christian idea of it - devotes itself principally to instructing its adherents in how to behave well in their dealings with others."

Wow, he was wrong about the "most important" part! Religion devotes itself principally to unquestioning faith. That's why it's called religion and not ethics.
If it was primarily about "instructing its adherents in how to behave well in their dealings with others," then many atheists wouldn't go to hell and I have yet to find a religion that teaches that.

14. God in the Military - The Pentagon and its Christian Embassy

scary... just scary

15. OUT Campaign Launched, 'Scarlet Letter' Shirts Now Available!

Comment #59265 by thelivingbrian on July 28, 2007 at 4:03 pm

Frankly, I think it looks silly and unattractive. I think the RDF symbol would be much better.

16. The God Delusion is one of the Ten Best Audiobooks

Comment #31400 by thelivingbrian on April 12, 2007 at 10:33 am

I have read The God Delusion and also heard the audio version. It really is something special to hear Dawkins read the book. I would have preferred if Lalla read less. She was great in reading quotes of others, but why have her read the words of Dawkins when you HAVE Dawkins?
In any case, it would be awesome for Dawkins to go back and create audio versions of more of his books (cough The Selfish Gene! cough).

17. Growing Up in the Universe: 2-Disc DVD Set
