However I think a Muslim cleric who lives in the US and calls for people to be killed in this way crosses the line from a simple meme victim and I have no problem describing him as an evil person who follows an evil religion.

NJS, I agree completely that the line must be drawn at the threat of violence.

My line of thought follows the demonising potential of the words "evil person who follows an evil religion." that could just as well be NAZI rhetoric about the Jews. I just don't think it moves things on.

There are undoubtedly psychopathic people. They will be born randomly all across the world into all cultures. Some of these people are born leaders e.g. Hitler and Stalin. A psychopath will exploit the culture into which they born. The worst possible combination is a charismatic, psychopathic and delusional personality that founds a religion. But all those normal people who grow up in the subsequent culture are victims; they are not evil, just unlucky. Don't get me wrong, when I watch replays of the 9/11 Islamic atrocity I feel hate and the desire for revenge. But then I force myself to remember the few Muslims I have met and remember they were all hardworking peaceful people trying to get along in the world just like me and they didn't and wouldn't dream of hurting anybody. To treat them as an "evil person who follows an evil religion." would by wrong.

How right you are. However until Stuart Burgess's views are conclusively countered his arguments will be propagated by those with much more sinister agendas.

There have been many examples of apparent irreducible complexity and most (if not all) have been refuted. But it would only take one true example to be found to kill natural selection as the only mechanism of biological change, hence it is the creationist's Holy Grail, and like the Holy Grail (or at least its supernatural properties) it is mythical.

We will have to put with this sort of thing for a while yet but as long as we can keep the net conversion rate from theist to atheist the rationalist view will ultimately prevail.

Stuart Burgess is a lecturer in Engineering Design in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Bristol University, United Kingdom. He has also lectured Engineering Design at Cambridge University where he was a Bye-Fellow of Selwyn College. He has published over 50 papers and patents in the area of engineering design and is a recipient of the Worshipful Company of Turners Engineering Design Gold Medal. He is a member of Buckingham Chapel in Bristol and has a Diploma in Theology from the London Reformed Baptist Seminary.

Thanks to devolved to this link. It's from the ID camp so approach it with an open mind ;)

"Conclusion

Whether gene mutations are random (as atheists believe) or planned (as many theistic evolutionists believe) the process of evolution cannot produce an irreducible mechanism because evolution is restricted to incremental change in the genetic code.

The human knee joint is an irreducible mechanism that must have at least four complex parts existing simultaneously and in a complex assembly to perform any useful function. The 16 critical characteristics in the knee joint correspond to several thousand units of information in the genetic code. These units of information cannot evolve incrementally but must exist simultaneously for the knee to perform its basic function.

There are no intermediate forms of joint between the condylar joint of the knee and the other two joints found in animals and humans — the ball and socket joint and the pivot joint. And there are distinct differences between the knee joint of animals and that of humans.

There is thus overwhelming evidence that the knee was created as a fully functioning limb joint from the beginning of its existence."

Of course the only evidence for the knee joint being irreducibly complex is our current inability to see its prior forms in the fossil record.

It would have been one of the brightest events possible as the star is close to the upper limit of star size. It's relative brightness to our eyes would be proportional to it's distance. Smaller super nova closer to Earth could appear brighter in the sky.

"I thought super novae were uniformly bright, and as a result were a good yardstick for measuring their distances from us. So, are they saying that this one was closest?"

Super novea come in a number of different classes dependent on the original star size. There is consistancy within the different types which can be identified by the light spectrum generated when the explosion happens. Thus super nova can be used to determin distance but you need to identify the type of super nova first.

"I wonder how many millions of lives were terminated? That would be my choice of going - instantly recycled!"

These super massive stars last for a relatively short period of time. A 150 SM star could be off the main sequence within just 100,000 years and super nova within a million. So unless this took out a much older local system no life was lost. Of course this explosion seeded the local environment with carbon, nitrogen and oxygen and the core constituents of a second or third generation star like our own sun.

So somewhere out there 240 million light years away there could well be a boiling mostly silicon blob of rock that someday billions of years from now will be inhabited by intelligent beings watching our Sun going super nova.

"Those who have lost a relative in a violent and shocking death - in the bombings in Baghdad, for instance - may find some consolation in this belief."

That may well be the sickest thing ever written. In what possible way could the relative of a loved one who had been killed by a suicide bomber kind comfort in the thought that while their loved one could be suffering the horrors of a Muslims afterlife the killer is lapping it up in paradise?

It's easily one of the stupidest things I've ever read and how exactly does somebody who believe such things not warrant an extended stay in a psychiatric unit?

At what point should the holder of this belief be sent to a psychiatric unit?

At birth? When that can talk at say between 18 and 24 months and mime to their parents "God is Great"? At 5 when they can quote verses from the Koran? At 10 after spending years in a madrasa being indoctrinated by specialist brain washers who were indoctrinated in the same way as them? At what age does this person stop being a victim of a process to turn them in Muslim who because of their upbringing you think they should be sent to a psychiatric unit? What real choice did they have?

People who follow these beliefs have little or no choice. They are victims who become perpetrators forged to propagate the Islamic meme. One should look beyond the meme and see the person. Their belief appears stupid to us but it does not to them, they live it, breathe it and feel it every minute of every day, it is their all encompassing existence.

As a Muslim if I believed in the effect of vicarious martyrdom I could hold on to that belief (delusion) and know in my heart that my relative had been spared the torture of the grave and got a free pass into paradise. I suspect that in the shock and horror of lose the human mind is capable of infinite self delusion.

Stupidity is a lack of intelligence not a moral choice. A person brought up in a closed dogmatic environment will understand that what they are told is true is true and they will act upon that understanding. It is completely normal to inherit your world view from the culture you are brought up in. Later in life if you are lucky you may gain access to another world view which you can logically evaluate against your own upbringing.

We are all just the sum of our perceptions moderated by our intelligence. We all start out blank with variable potential. Somebody born in Saudi Arabia or Poland isn't necessarily stupid just very unlucky.

Today I went into a book shop (WH Smiths in Nottingham) and ended up browsing the section on religion. I did like the appropriately named "Islam for Dummies", yes it really does exist! And there next to the Bible, (various versions) were books on all the major religions and next to them witchcraft and things like "The Bible Code", all the usual superstitious stuff. Another title caught my eye "The Dawkins Delusion" one of the many fleas!

But what was missing? You've guessed it "The God Delusion". I found an assistant and asked where I could find Richard's books. He took me directly to the reference selection and there it was nestled up next to books on Einstein, the big bang, evolution etc. So what did I do? I moved some copies of The God Delusion to the Religion section.

It's only a little thing but I'll do it in every book shop where they don't put some copies of The God Delusion in the religion section. Why don't you!

I would liken the difference between moral atheists and moral theists to the difference between two children told by their parents that they shouldn't steal.

The first of the two children asks his parents why they shouldn't do such a thing, to which the parents reply "Because we said so." This is satisfactory for the child.

The second of the two asks the same question and receives the same answer, but finds it unsatisfactory. "I need to understand *why* it is wrong to steal", he begs. So naturally his parents sit down and explain to him in detail how if we expect to live in a civilized society where we are not constantly at risk of being stolen from, we must do our part by not stealing from others.

The first child behaves only up to a point: He does not really understand *why* stealing is wrong, only that his parents will punish him if they discover he has stolen. The second child abstains from stealing not out of fear of punishment, because he fully understands *why* it is wrong to steal and that it is in his own best interest as well as that of his loved ones if he upholds this moral standard.

If you transpose atheist and theist in the first sentence and read the comment again nothing changes. It's still total bollocks. However change atheist for "bad parents" and theist for "good parents" it has a little logic. It attempts to say that children need proper full answers. Not just "I told you". Of course the atheist in reality would give the proper full answer, it would be the faith-head giving the dumb, stupid, un-thinking, trite, unitelligent "I told you!" answer.

Having three children who have never been in trouble with the police or at school I suppose I must be the exception to the rule, being an atheist or as Zamboro puts it "bad parent".

Comment #33070 by CJ on April 19, 2007 at 5:03 am

Re 33 Weefree

I think what I am trying to say (and I hate typing hence the slow response) is this.

People who kill are either psychopaths or are mislead by charismatic psychopaths. The justification for killing, the meme if you like, is irrelevant. The psychopath, be it Mohamed or Starlin creates a self justifying set of ideas that support their world view and that permits them to behave in a self gratifying fashion and sod the consequences!

However, the ultimate justification for any activity is God. You can't argue with that trump card because it is by definition beyond logical reasoning. It therefore is the easiest and strongest card to play or to attack, usually by using your own God. But as you say there have been times where it has suited the tyrant to vilify religion to get their own way e.g. Hitler, Starlin and Mao.

My "nice middle class western individualism" (lucky me) does not blind me to the atrocities carried out around the world or the stated aims of the perpetrators. To that end I can see greed for power and paranoia driving Starlin to kill more Russians than Hitler did Jews. But if we were all afflicted with "nice middle class western individualism" the world would not be as dangerous as it is.

If one believes in God then any potential atrocity is justifiable and it does not matter if God really exists or not. As there is no evidence for the existence for God I for one would rather attempt to live a good life (no killing, rape, thugery etc) and try and stop people killing each other in the name of a delusion.

If there were a group who gathered together, espoused atheism as the only true path and carried out terrorist attacks on religious people simply because they did not agree with their beliefs I would agree with weefree's comment.

However I have seen no evidence of such a group and I also think that no such group could ever exist. This is because the atheist has no God to defend. We have no axe to grind that our God is better than your God. We have no heaven to go to therefore no need to guarantee entrance via an act of martyrdom. You can't offend my God, I don't have one.

If I were to choose to take the life of another person I would have no one to blame but me. I could not excuse the murder by saying I was doing it for a higher cause. I could not justify it because I was simply offended at your criticism of my point of view. I could not bring my children up to hate others simply for holding a misguided belief.

The group mentality by definition amplifies the memes of the group and once you get a successful self-perpetuating meme based on violence it attracts the greedy, easily lead and feeble minded, both Communist and religious.
