They're getting very sensitive these Popes, Bish's clergymen etc...seems they're worried the game is up!

Diacanu....hello! How do you get articles to the site? there are a couple in the UK Times re Dawkins. Here is one http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/uk/science/article3086949.ece and here is the other!

203. Survey finds most Americans believe Jesus born of virgin

Comment #102457 by Verylee on December 22, 2007 at 11:40 pm

I've been wondering this a while now and this thread seems a good place to ask! Does anyone know what the proportion, or how many believers visit this site? Do the De Souza's and McGrath's or the clergy visit (for research!)?...is there a record of visits per month anywhere?

non_plussed if it was your complaint that provoked the edit, then it goes to show how effective the church is with their propaganda...ooops sorry "outspokeness"!

206. 'Atheistic fundamentalism' fears

Comment #102291 by Verylee on December 22, 2007 at 8:51 am

Technogogo you beat me to it haha!! Atheism is being used as a scapegoat for all this political correctness and multicultural sensitivity gone mad. The church is relying as it always has, on its flock being ignorant.
If those pious religious folk would please just stop flying planes into buildings, blowing up surgeries or interfering in medicine, contraception etc....then maybe those nasty atheists will just shut up, go away and leave them alone.

His Eminence "should" know better than me, but maybe he has a myth to perpetuate.

Virgin birth? I had always understood it to be a poor/bad translation of ancient Hebrew for "young woman"

211. Why Science Will Triumph Only When Theory Becomes Law

Comment #98021 by Verylee on December 13, 2007 at 2:03 am

Thanks!! After I posted I realised I could have Googled it! Silly me!
Sixty years huh? Is it possible that since being on this forum Ruht has come to realise the error of his ways and is somewhat resentful of a wasted life and wants to bring everyone down with him!! Nah...too much to hope for!

212. Why Science Will Triumph Only When Theory Becomes Law

Comment #98012 by Verylee on December 13, 2007 at 1:47 am

Hello...I have only been posting for about a week and new to forums. What is trolling?
I think the guy (Ruht) is a hoot...Six decades!! I thought you were baiting (debating?) a child his/her posts are so infantile!! (I can't believe he's baiting you, he means every word!)

Comment #97480 by Verylee on December 12, 2007 at 7:01 am

I agree with the comments about the negative connotations that "atheist/m" seems to be associated with. However whenever I mention that I am an atheist, and it's followed by a stunned silence and looks of fear and loathing, I enjoy the lively debate that ensues!! I also get to point out all the great and wonderful people who have ever lived and who still live today who were and are atheists....the moment it dawns on them that we're not all evil twisted morally bankrupt beasts, I see a kind of wistfulness or even envy at my stance, and if they persist in thinking it's a "bad" word and we're "bad" people, well then that's their problem. I'm with Styrer...The correct definition of atheist/m should be reclaimed to mean exactly what it does mean.

214. Believe it or not

Comment #97454 by Verylee on December 12, 2007 at 5:50 am

It's like herding cats as the saying goes! Noone can agree on an alternative name....I have to admit I do not like most of them either. Atheist suits me fine because that is what I am...(or "the enlightened one"!!)

215. The empty myths peddled by evangelists of unbelief

As a sceptic I am struck not so much by how much religious faith and secular humanism differ but more by how much they have in common

216. An Open Letter to Richard Dawkins

Comment #96699 by Verylee on December 10, 2007 at 8:53 pm

They are running scared. They cannot get over the fact that people are curious, they like to ask questions and exchange information. They have no control over the internet (unlike the media), which can disseminate information in many formats (you don't even need to be able to read). They do not know what to do about it! I am sure they would bring back book burning if they could! One day in the future religion may be looked at as just another Darwinian dead end...no use to neither man nor beast.

Comment #95729 by Verylee on December 9, 2007 at 3:58 am

There are so many posts that I have only read the last few, So I don't know if anyone has mentioned this before...if so I apologise!
OK so we agree that there are and have been atheists that were evil etc etc, it's inevitable....Are religious apologists/debaters implying that this therefore somehow excuses or lessens the evils done in the name of religion?

Comment #94594 by Verylee on December 6, 2007 at 3:11 am

Don't let the creationists find out that the bible is hanging on the "tree of knowledge"!....That'll be it, the proof they've been looking for (again!), atheism is doomed!!

Comment #94579 by Verylee on December 6, 2007 at 2:16 am

Whatever atheists say or do they are going to be pilloried, so they "might as well be hung for a sheep as a lamb". What else would one expect from a bunch of godless heathens anyway!!

Comment #92753 by Verylee on December 1, 2007 at 11:49 am

I have forgotten all the false "arguments" that debaters or apologists use, but is there one known as "the argument of the empty vessel" (makes the most sound!)?

226. Papal encyclical attacks atheism, lauds hope

Comment #92380 by Verylee on November 30, 2007 at 11:43 am

They are on the run. They no longer have the monopoly on information technology like they used to, people are allowed to read nowadays! The Immams are doing a better job at suppressing people and information than they are, so they are losing on all fronts. On top of that they are killing off most of their congregation in the developing world with their satanic policies. No wonder they are worried!!
