601. Do you have to read up on leprechology before disbelieving in them?

Comment #72350 by steveroot on September 20, 2007 at 7:36 pm

495. Comment #72325 by revcort on September 20, 2007 at 6:32 pm

Well, you know, I guess it's possible, God once spoke through an ass (donkey). :D

28 And the Lord opened the mouth of the donkey, and she said to Balaam, "What have I done to you, that you have struck me these three times?"

What the??!!?? God is a *VENTRILOQUIST* too? I'd better re-think this atheist shit.

Let me speak metaphorically here. If the two groups where two different types of food, American Christian fundamentalists are like rotten vegetables while Iraqi Muslim extremists are like nuclear waste.

Which would you eat, if you have just these two to pick from?

After transubstantiation, they're both equally unpalatable. ;-)

Whoopi is obviously a Jatravartid (I always thought her name wasn't particularly Terran)

A reasonable guess; however, those in the know will recall that she is really an El-Aurian female named Guinan. She's dealt with "Q" and the Borg- the god of the bible is small potatoes by comparison.

Comment #71026 by steveroot on September 17, 2007 at 2:46 pm

Is it also intellectual suicide to claim with absolute certainty that there are no leprechauns?

This quote comes from Doc Mtusi, an official in Zimbabwe's Finance Ministry, interviewed in the Cape Times; and reproduced in the latest edition of "The Week":

The unpatriotic hoarding of food gives the impression that we have a problem, which clearly we haven't, except in the South African media's mind. We do not call it starving, we call it fasting. Fasting is actually good for you. Lots of famous people have fasted for the benefit of their people. Gandhi, for instance. In our case, the people themselves will be encouraged to fast, thereby strengthening themselves against the onslaught of colonial imperialism. We have no objection in principle to people eating. Those of us in government all eat, but only because persons in our important positions have to. What we must guard against is the belief that people have the right to break the law if they're hungry.

High parody, that! Doc Mtusi must be a field correspondent for The Onion!

609. The Fleas Are Multiplying!

Comment #69799 by steveroot on September 12, 2007 at 8:36 pm

This isn't exactly a "Flea" in the sense that term is being used here, but since it is a response to The God Delusion and God Is Not Great, according to the article in the link, I thought it might be of interest. From today's Daily Herald: http://www.dailyherald.com/story/?id=36131

Strobel "wrote about his faith-finding journey in The Case for Christ, which uses arguments based on logic to present his belief that Christianity is true."

The book reported on here, The Case for the Real Jesus, "...takes apart what Strobel identifies as six major challenges to contemporary Christianity." The author "was a known atheist who took it upon himself as an investigative journalist to do his homework. The rest is history."

Sounds like a "must read". Not.

Way too much information! ;-)
Steveroot,
Clearly you have values, and these are subjective, but you think 'So what? I still have them'.
You are making unwarranted assumptions about what I think.
Do you not have to do some sort of mental gymnastics, as people have been on this site, and really behave as though morality is objective for most of the time.
None I'm aware of. Yes, there are *quite* a lot of mental gymnastics on this thread! This is how I benefit by not dealing with Pascal's wager. I have better things to do with my life.
Surely you find yourself treating morality as prescriptive and doing so whilst at the same time recognising that morality is subjective must cause some intellectual conflict. It must.
Please don't let your imagination run away with you.
I have been honest about the difficulties of holding theist beliefs. Please be honest about the inconsistencies in holding atheist beliefs.

Thank you for your honesty, but I will not be badgered into admitting anything of the kind. I'm sorry you find difficulties in holding your theist beliefs.

2252. Comment #69522 by PaulEmecz on September 11, 2007 at 3:22 pm

Talking with people on this site, I have a picture of how it is for an atheist.

Atheists are regular people, with normal lives, who don't waste the precious time given them by pandering to an imaginary boss.
An honest atheist response is that morality doesn't exist.

Oh- so I don't know right from wrong; I've raised two successful, well-adjusted children; I've been married to my only wife for 25 years now; I take care of other people (some I don't know). How can this be?
I could not be an atheist.

No one here said you have to be. We simply won't believe the same things you are content to believe unless we see the evidence (Clara Peller:"Where's the beef?"). And we certainly aren't willing to be controlled by people who subscribe to the imaginary supervisor.
...how do you cope with the inconsistencies of being an atheist?

I think these "inconsistencies are fig newtons of your imagination.

All fine points, steveroot. I'm arguing something a little different, having to do with authority and morality.

A good God would have to vanish.

I'll leave the heavy stuff to you, Dr. B. You and a number of others are doing a fine job here. I wasn't really following the thread- I check in from time to time and - sorry to say - Paul's last post did sound a bit almost-desperate (Goldy said it & I was thinking it); I just had to add my low-order comments. I am not a "philosopher"- I just slept at a Holiday Inn Express last night. ;-)

2219. Comment #69309 by PaulEmecz on September 10, 2007 at 1:23 pm
Dr B,
It is possible that there is an all-loving, all-powerful creator. It is also possible that there is a God, but (yada, yada, yada)...

Please correct me if I have missed something, but I don't think anyone here is saying these things are *not possible*, but rather that there is no good evidence for them.
Why can we not say "Let us reason well, as this is the thing that singles us out, that defines our human nature".

I like the "reasoning well" part. What does this have to do with *your* point of view?
I'm a long way from giving evidence to support belief in the existence of a truly superior God.

Fine, but it's been said that extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. From what I see on this thread, after literally thousands of posts, there is none. Just discussion.
Hypothetically though, if such a God did create the world, why would it be wrong to wish to fulfil such a God's plan for intelligent, reasoning life in the universe?

This sounds like a watered-down variation of Pascal's wager. Nothing would be wrong with such a wish, but it would appear you have to know what god's plan IS. Even Christopher Hitchens (if I read him right) wouldn't object to you trying to fulfill *your* idea of god's plan; but please don't try to model our society on it. For what it's worth, I don't object either. But that gets us back to the evidence problem.

I don't have time for this.

Hi Epeeist,

Loved the picture of the monkey spanking the creationist.

Ham also mentioned a fossil spark plug as evidence of a young earth.
It just gets wierder and wierder

What? You doubt the evidence of fossilized tire tracks and human footprints- proving that early man and automobiles co-existed? It is certain that man rode in cars.
And I thought it was creationists who liked to spank the monkey!;-)

A Minor point for Steveroot,
The Parthenon was a Bank (ok, a treasury, but it sounds better). Its inspiration was primarily money, and the defeat of the Persians.
A minor rebuttal for Dimitar ;-)
I thought it was built as a temple of Athena. It was also later used as a treasury, a christian church and a mosque. See:

This is posted on Vickers' web site.

...her first name, Salley (about which she is often asked, and which can cause problems on computer searches for her books), is spelled with an 'e' because it is the Irish for 'willow' (from the Latin: salix, salicis) as in the W.B.Yeats poem, 'Down by the salley gardens'.

Well! That explains the sudden need to run to the medicine cabinet after reading her drivel; another -very- subliminal suggestion (missed by me, as usual). She *IS* rather a pill, isn't she?;-)

I just figured, if Salley is entitled to cherry-pick from the Good Book, then I'm entitled to cherry-pick her review.

"THIS BOOK IS A PIECE OF SHIT" is clearly her deeper meaning.

I don't think you have to claim that entitlement here. It is obviously a subliminal message, and it worked, too, because I came away with that feeling. But I didn't see it 'til you pointed it out. That, plus the bit about having to kill me, answers my question. I need to get out more- most of my time is spent looking down little holes through a microscope; it's harder to see the BIG picture!

Global cooling due to particulate matter in the atmosphere reflecting sunlight away from the earth, and global warming due to greenhouse gasses trapping heat, both occur. The relative importance of warming has become more pronounced the past two decades.

Global cooling, also called "global dimming" may have de-emphasized the processes producing global warming, thereby accelerating climate change. See:

647. Anger over 'blasphemous' balls

Comment #65934 by steveroot on August 27, 2007 at 12:38 pm

Well, as a resident west of "the pond", I assumed these footballs were... well, FOOTBALLS. At least give the U. S. credit for not passing out what *we* call "footballs"... or "PIGSKINS"!

The mullahs are pissed because their god is too... imaginary... to protect himself from insults, and they use this as a pretext for their ridiculous behavior.

by the way, since i am new to this, can someone tell me how to respond to a specific writer?

If you mean what I am doing here responding to your earlier post, it is easy. Just copy the post, or (preferably) edited portions of it and paste it into your post. If you want the fancy borders, see the posting guidelines for information about "blockquote".
Look forward to hearing more from you.

Anyone have Ted's email address? ;)

No, but when you find it, I'm sure he'll accept PayPal! ;-)

Poor babies. Mommy will kiss the boo-boo and make it all better. What a load of whiners.
I agree with Sol (#65873): let god take care of himself if he's so all-powerful.
