Adrian Allen replied to Jeff Price's discussion 'Adam Deen (Muslim speaker) argues that life is absurd without God.'
Adrian Allen replied to Sassan K.'s discussion 'What is Exactly An "Atheist"'"Try this for a definition from Mano Singham which, I think, covers all positions:
Atheist: One for whom god is an unnecessary concept.
He goes on to suggest: This definition leaves little room for agnostics because they will have to…"
Bill Nugent left a comment for Adrian Allen"Thanks, I thought it was pretty funny peculiar, mad me snile :)"
Adrian Allen commented on Rick Murch-Shafer's blog post 'Dealing with death as an atheist'"I agree with all that has been said, including Dr. del Toro's suggestion of focusing on the grieving. I'd even go so far as to try and echo their beliefs even if they're not mine. That's not to say that I'd be saying…"
Adrian Allen replied to Dustin's discussion 'Child Abuse and Christianity?'"Well, sorry Erica, but it sounds like abuse to me, even if your father didn't do it gratuitously or extend it unnecessarily. Surely a, "Don't be rude," or "watch your language," would have done just as well without…"

Adrian Allen commented on Seth Jon Nonnemaker's blog post 'My parents reaction to me saying "I'm an Atheist".'"I think you are brave to deal with it as you do.

Adrian Allen commented on Joe's blog post 'Thoughts on Humanity'""...I'm tempted sometimes just so I'll fit in better with society. Social pressure can be a very strong force." Forgive me my presumption to comment on what is, after all your personal choice, but I feel it is a mistake to live…"
Adrian Allen commented on wisp's blog post 'Presumptuous Theists'"It's difficult to hold one's tongue. I admire your restraint. I tend to want to respond and usually do in a more British, sardonic way that may not be readily understood by all.
For example: "To your evangelical Christians out there,…"
Adrian Allen left a comment for Daniela Rosalita Fontecha"Welcome Daniela,
OK I'm on the other side of the pond, in England, but 1) I noted your lack of anyone to talk to 'sensibly' with and b) I have some affinity because I have been to Charlotte back in August 2001 (Just before 9/11). So,…"

Hi, I'm sorry, but I just had to say how amusing I thought your name was. Pure class! Made me laugh, Adrian

Adrian Allen left a comment for jeff daniels"Hi,
Good man. It was great to read your reasons for abandoning religion, very decisive.
I was lucky enough never to have been involved, parents never really bothered about it and I was left to evolve my own views - evolution permeates…"
