My best guess is that it is a branch of 'Christian Science'. Other branches include 'floodology' and the study of auto-resuscitation as practised by some mammalian corpses....

Comment #189958 by irate_atheist on June 7, 2008 at 11:59 pm

When religion is in the heart or in the church, it can be happily ignored by non-believers or defended, if necessary, on the grounds of live and let live.

Bollocks. People make their actions, and judgement based mostly on what they feel. Does the author really think that religious politicians don't bring their feelings to the table when debating an issue - e.g. abortion, stem cell research, gay rights?

Dawkins began to harden their atheism into disdain towards all those who sought comfort in "mumbo jumbo".

Good. Some more homo sapiens who see right through the bullshit.

There is much to admire in the words of Jesus, in the thrust of Buddhism, in Judaism's rich culture and rituals, in the commitment to social justice of some faiths. So I take my job seriously of trying to instil religious tolerance in my sons.

What's to admire in a pack of lies and wilful ignorance?

And more importantly:

Bath is also not a port and nowhere near the coast. It is, however, the headquarters of the Royal Navy. This is for excellent reasons which no one can quite remember.

Probably because the threat to the UK comes either from ~~The French~~ the English Channel or in the North from the Baltic bases of Russia. Being in Bath historically places the HQ nowhere useful for commanding battles in either area. Smart boys, the Navy.

A blighter is not a bounder - that's the first important point. After all, a bounder is nearer a cad than a blighter. And a cad certainly isn't a good chap, probably more of a rotter.

Your criticism of the Daily Mail is that irate_atheist does not like it?

I see nothing wrong in that line of reasoning.

Given that one would be forcing sex upon the individual animal - without consent - the term 'rape' will have to suffice for now.

And the onus is on *you* to prove that sex with (insert animal here) is harmful. I don't have to assume it is by default.

Actually, given that you have conceded that animals cannot consent to you raping them, the onus is on you to prove that your activity does not cause unnecessary and undue suffering to the animal.

Comment #189023 by Philip1978

I think it is *you* who haven't been reading mine. More likely is that you're reading the comments of your buddies in the thrill of getting egged on.

These posts are some of the funniest and some of the most cynical I've read anywhere. Add a little profanity and you guys would sound like journalists.

In response may I add:

1. Humour is good - it helps alleviate some of the downsides of the 'human condition'.

2. Cynicism - I would say that gullibility is bad. Belief without evidence is bad. Dogma is bad. Religion is bad.

3. Profanity - you clearly haven't read many of my posts...

Whether evangelical intransigence is pleasing to God isn't anything that humans can ever be absolutely sure of. If it is pleasing to him, God may send a great revival that will sweep the country and restore them to their place of predominance.

I am always amazed that people NOT trained in a particular field will make strong statements ABOUT that field, in their official capacity, while disregarding the testimony of those who ARE experts. There has to be a name for this....other than f***tard.

I have seen epeeist use the term creotard. It seems most appropriate in this case.

2. Do you claim that evolution is false?

Stopping telling people where they can or can't stick their penises (as long as they are doing no harm).

So, your cat would be perfectly happy with you ramming your penis into it's anal sphincter? No harm done, eh? Shurely shome mishtake!!!!

The naimal welfare argument is equally, if not more, valid. You don't even engage with that argument.

Please explain why consent is a fundamental issue when it comes to sexual relations.
