I don't actually know why I was banned - four times!


Oops. There goes no. 9 again.


And ..did you know that McGrath used to be an athiest?

Comment #131107 by Verylee on February 22, 2008 at 1:15 am

Having just watched the Creationist's ramble. All I can think to say is, "There but for the grace of Darwin go I".

Comment #130792 by epeeist...Stay cool, stay calm and don't rise to the bait.

Thank you epeeist...as one of the newer people on the site I was reading the unfolding drama with interest, I was beginning to feel an undercurrent of spite and manipulation in Robertson's comments...And you are right, it was making me angry haha!! Very manipulative, satanic perhaps?
I kinda got the feeling of someone who has played Pascals' wager, and then realised late in life that they may have wasted their life, careers everything on a pipe dream and is now bitter and twisted.

US$ 4,000,000 that's a loads'a bucks...smells fishy.

108. Cutting Edge: Baby Bible Bashers

Comment #129520 by Verylee on February 19, 2008 at 8:51 am

Child abuse. Those kids were in thrall to their parents/guardians. All the kids wanted to do is please them and survive another day, they know no better. Selfish, self-righteous, self-serving, sick SOBs.

109. The argument from oranges

Comment #128440 by Verylee on February 17, 2008 at 2:40 am

It's like my granny used to say.."You can't compare apes with oranges".

110. Debate between Richard Dawkins and Madeline Bunting

Comment #126951 by Verylee on February 14, 2008 at 2:47 pm

"Shrill"? "Ranting"? "Antagonistic"? "Elitist"?...and now it's "Splitting our sides with laughter"!...What's the next put down?..."Having too much desire for evidence based reasoning"? Faith...Belief without evidence that's all you need to get by in todays world.

111. Sharia law in UK is 'unavoidable'

Hey, you guys think you have problems with the Arch Bish?
Look at what's happening in my beloved France.

112. Exorcism undergoes a revival across Europe

Comment #125360 by Verylee on February 11, 2008 at 9:26 am

Wherever there is poverty and ignorance and before anyone can say "Begone Satan", there you will find the church...praying on (sic) and cultivating their misfortunes.

113. Charles Simonyi Professorship in the Public Understanding of Science

Comment #125152 by Verylee on February 11, 2008 at 3:04 am

"In the land of the blind, the one eyed man is King"...You have opened the eyes of so many, long may you continue to so and let's hope that one day all people everywhere will see what their "Kings" are really wearing.

114. Inventor Doesn't Dare Say 'Perpetual Motion Machine'

Comment #124044 by Verylee on February 8, 2008 at 8:05 am

He was trying to create a doobie rolling machine, but by accident broke the second law of thermodynamics

Now there's a thought! Maybe the machine is harnessing Psi quantum energy fields from Deepak's eternal youth seminars and transmogrifying all that hot air into a microwave cooker!

115. Sharia law in UK is 'unavoidable'

Comment #123646 by Verylee on February 7, 2008 at 12:39 pm

The ABoC has definitely stirred up a hornets nest...no matter what he may decide to say tomorrow! there are over 6,800 comments submitted to the BBC website alone (1750 posted) (Edit: and rising). Many other papers are also running the story with readers comments as well, most of them in the same vein as the posts here...It (sharia) does not affect me and it won't affect me, but a lot of non church going C of E folk are getting pissed off with so much political and religious appeasement even it it never touches their lives personally.

116. Sharia law in UK is 'unavoidable'

Comment #123597 by Verylee on February 7, 2008 at 11:37 am

A cunning plan?...Maybe it's an (dis) ingenious method to get the moderate moslems to start jumping up and down if they feel that sharia may be coming their way after all they have done to get away from it?

117. Sharia law in UK is 'unavoidable'

Comment #123579 by Verylee on February 7, 2008 at 11:15 am

It also reinforces how confused religion is and how even the religious leaders have lost the plot and do not know how to address all their various mythologies coherently...and on top of all that they have to deal with those pesky Atheists.

118. Sharia law in UK is 'unavoidable'

This should fill the pews!! Salesman of the year award material!

"argumentum ad nulli veritas caledonium" perhaps? please correct my appalling latin!

120. The New Atheist Movement

Comment #123045 by Verylee on February 6, 2008 at 12:08 pm

A cry for help and argued in sanity.

121. Blasphemy

Comment #122480 by Verylee on February 5, 2008 at 10:27 am

The conviction and pending execution of an Afghani student, Sayed Parwiz Kambakhsh, for blasphemy is an appalling circumstance, but it offers an opportunity that we should all seize
....I agree. However the world's media, everyone must remain vigilant as the next victim may not get the exposure as him and subsequently be quietly disposed of in order to sustain this religion of "peace" (for "peace", read fear).

122. Letters: Theology has no place in a university

Comment #122420 by Verylee on February 5, 2008 at 8:46 am

Well at least he's in the right profession...He could have been the Chairman of the Joint Chief of Staffs! (is that the correct title?)

123. Letters: Theology has no place in a university

That is, its not just about god and the bible.

That's right...you keep an open mind now! They are out to get you haha!!

124. Are Darwin's Theories Fact or Faith Issues?

Comment #122312 by Verylee on February 5, 2008 at 7:15 am

Comment #122305 by home8896
Hear hear! That's why I posted above, that when Creationist ("scientists") wilfully try to deceive people, they should be ridiculed...in such a way as to point out their dishonesty to the audience....granted not everyone knows the "scientific method", but a scientist in a debate should know or be damned forever.

125. Are Darwin's Theories Fact or Faith Issues?

Comment #122252 by Verylee on February 5, 2008 at 2:28 am

PJG ....Thank you. Nobody likes to be called a fool with perhaps the exception of the "Fool who has said in his heart there is no god"!

126. Are Darwin's Theories Fact or Faith Issues?

Comment #122230 by Verylee on February 5, 2008 at 12:41 am

Next time a creationist mentions that "Evolution is just a theory".....Maybe the retort should be something along the lines of, "Are you implying that the listeners are all so stupid that they do not know the definition of a scientific theory? Like for example "Eintein's General Theory of Relativity", is just a theory?"...."How arrogant and deceitful of you, I am sure that the audience are delighted to know that you think that they are all morons!"

Strangely enough that has 8 reviews all giving it 5 stars
..I took a look at the blog earlier today and VD was asking his posters to give him good reviews!!
...If I was an Anti Theist author I am sure it would be posted as "I was pleading with my moronic sycophants to give me a 5 star rating!!"...or am I being unfair?

128. Female Muslim medics 'disobey hygiene rules'

Comment #121711 by Verylee on February 4, 2008 at 2:52 am

Just another episode in a long running saga of Islamic brinkmanship playing at your (operating) theatres now.

Comment #121430 by Verylee on February 3, 2008 at 11:44 am

To be fair to Vertigo25...he may have got mixed up with another "Daily" Bile....I had to double check the source myself...maybe it will all come out in the wash!!

130. Documents detail church coverup

Comment #120739 by Verylee on February 2, 2008 at 12:17 pm

originally a long post...but lost the plot in my anger, went for a pee came back and all I can say is "Sick Fucks", and that includes all those pseudointellectuals who like to "debate" religion as if it has something to offer mankind today.

131. Are Darwin's Theories Fact or Faith Issues?

Comment #120686 by Verylee on February 2, 2008 at 10:18 am

Aren't Newton's "Theory of Universal gravitation" superceded by Einstein's "Theory of Relativity" (Equivalence) just theories as well? Who is he trying to fool? He's just preaching to the choir. All of these "Theories" have been found to stand up to the rigours of scientific testing and examination time after time and still these disrespectful scientists(?) will not accept it. If they were doctors, they would be struck off. I feel sorry for the children having to grow up in indoctrinated ignorance.

Comment #120167 by Verylee on February 1, 2008 at 9:59 am

What does, "eats, shoots, and leaves" mean anyway

I know the OZ version which is ..What does a Koala Bear do all day? Ans: "Eats, roots and leaves"...it doesn't take a lot of working out! believe me you'll get it, I did!

Don't worry another one will be along soon!! ...maybe they're all busy flicking through the pages!

135. 'Irrational Atheist' trounces God-deniers

Comment #120115 by Verylee on February 1, 2008 at 9:20 am

Just for the record what exactly is a "passionate anti-Darwinian" as he describes himself?

Nature maybe "red in tooth and claw", but Homo sapiens (brain/consciousness) has "evolved" beyond that (happy with that word?) and now should be able to deal with more complex societies without having to resort to instinct.
"At the same time as I support Darwinism as a scientist, I am a passionate anti-Darwinian when it comes to politics and how we should conduct our human affairs." Dawkins

I think it is more likely that I will quarterback the NY Giants to a superbowl win in two days then the above happening
...or shit thru the eye of a needle!

137. 'Irrational Atheist' trounces God-deniers

Comment #120089 by Verylee on February 1, 2008 at 8:47 am

then give me your opinion on whom is the respected thinker, Mr Day or Mr Dawkins.

I find that comment idiotic.
Professor Dawkins has been writing popular science and reason books for over 30 years now, some of them groundbreaking in his particular field and they are still relevant today, and goodness how many papers and posts to his name. I doubt many (if any) had heard of "VOX DAY" before this thread (I certainly hadn't!) I hope that VD would have the integrity to admit this even if he does destroy Dawkins' reasoning with his erudition.

138. 'Irrational Atheist' trounces God-deniers

Comment #120070 by Verylee on February 1, 2008 at 8:31 am

As for the download, my theory is that the main problem from which most books suffer is that too few potential readers have heard about them,....

Kinda says it all. Also, I am sure the good professor would be very interested to hear that his arguments have now been comprehensively destroyed and will no longer be able to sleep at night!

139. 'Irrational Atheist' trounces God-deniers

Comment #119908 by Verylee on February 1, 2008 at 2:20 am

It took me a while but I ploughed my way thru all those posts! As I posted before and I think others as well...that the majority of us based our comments based on the tone of the interview. I for one will certainly not be downloading, reading or replying to his challenge (The author's name is enough to put me off)....because I don't really give a F**K if he trounces the "Unholy Trinity" with his arguments....it does not change a thing for me, can he prove the existence of a supernatural being? Millions of people arrived at atheism before Dawkins et al arrived on the scene, and millions will arrive at the same conclusions after their books have grown old and dusty on the shelves. So if VD's book really does sensibly refute all their arguments, good for him. I suggest it would better serve the theists (inc the de Souza's, Mc Grath's etc) and maybe they will come up with some better arguments in the future....but for me it boils down to, I don't have time for "faith" and all the (evil) baggage that goes with it and they need to provide "evidence".
He just wants the PR and he ain't getting any from me!

Comment #118934 by oisha
Hear hear!....If this book really does blow the Ungodly Trinity's arguments out of the water, I am sure we will all hear about it sooner or later, but more likely there will be a deafening silence.

142. Richard Dawkins on The Big Questions

Richard "Slow Hand" Dawkins!

144. MySpace: No place for Atheists?

Comment #118135 by Verylee on January 30, 2008 at 11:50 am

To paraphrase Ron Hubbard "If you want to make millions, start a religion"......"if you want to stay in business, pander to religion". I guess only when atheists/m gets some serious economic clout will it ever be taken seriously....Mammon rules OK.

145. 'Irrational Atheist' trounces God-deniers

Comment #118097 by Verylee on January 30, 2008 at 10:36 am

I won't be downloading it either...don't want my computer to stop working on the sabbath....the (pseudo?)name of the author is enough to put me off/vomit.

146. 'Irrational Atheist' trounces God-deniers

Comment #118017 by Verylee on January 30, 2008 at 8:31 am

I perused(?) the blog and comments on VD's site and many of the comments were to the effect that none of the shrill and abusive atheists had even read "The Book" and yet they deigned to critque it in their usual shrill and abusive manner. My earlier comments were actually made based on the interview transcript in which I thought that he had come across as very arrogant....but for myself, faith is just not a good enough reason to believe...so unless his book can provide me (a layman) with evidence (proof of the existence) of Allah/Thor/FSM I will stick with my shrill and abusive fellow atheists.

147. Death Sentence for Afghan Student

Comment #117956 by Verylee on January 30, 2008 at 4:19 am

At the risk of being labelled a cynic, I think now that he has been banged up, he is no more than a political tool, a "bargaining chip", and it will be up to outside elements (governments etc) to decide how much value they place on a human life over their policies and goals in Afghanistan, and nothing to do with blasphemy any more.

148. Atheism and Violence

Comment #117930 by Verylee on January 30, 2008 at 2:32 am

The popularity of the Atheism books written for the layman, the exposure of the televangelists and the emptying of churches has caught the religious institutions on the hop. They tried to fight back with accusations of "rants" and "shrill", "Hitler, Pol Pot" etc and they have been shown wanting. Now they are just spreading as much shit around as they can ....It's not aimed at Atheists in particular....but everyone, in the hope that some of it sticks and people back off investigating the cosy little racket they've been milking for the past few millenia. We don't want people to think and start asking questions now, do we?

149. 'Irrational Atheist' trounces God-deniers

Comment #117512 by Verylee on January 29, 2008 at 2:29 am

Patronising, Arrogant and Condescending....all of the traits required in a fundy.
