Albert Bakker replied to Belle Rose's discussion 'EMPOWERING WOMEN!!!!!!!!'"You're right, but he's out of the galaxy at the moment I'm told. Fortunately it can also be done with some assistance."
Albert Bakker replied to TheyCallMeDave's discussion 'Soldier killed in Woolwich, London, UK'"This is not exactly the most trustworthy source, but it does seem some devout followers of the EDL and these God-fearing Muslims have something in common: they both want to start something of a civil war. And it seems there is something else that…"
Albert Bakker replied to Belle Rose's discussion 'EMPOWERING WOMEN!!!!!!!!'"Sums up shit. It's a false equivalency. It is somewhat funny because of the eye inversion thing, but otherwise it's worthy of a triple facepalm and a long, long sigh: reckless correctness on top of a huge reality disconnect.

Albert Bakker replied to Belle Rose's discussion 'EMPOWERING WOMEN!!!!!!!!'"I believe you. I've been discussing folks who not only thought men were being neglected and subordinated by uppity women, but were also on the verge of being overrun by hordes of just married gays."
Albert Bakker replied to Belle Rose's discussion 'EMPOWERING WOMEN!!!!!!!!'"I am not familiar with Kim Kardashian, I had to look her up. I do not understand why she would have less of a right to her behavior as male actors who are still from my admittedly limited expertise on the subject bigger hoes and a lot skankier than…"
Albert Bakker replied to Belle Rose's discussion 'EMPOWERING WOMEN!!!!!!!!'"Show me a country where that is the case. Or any large organization.
It isn't even the case within the atheist community.
In some future where it would be the case we could worry about women being more empowered than us dudes."
Albert Bakker replied to Belle Rose's discussion 'I have a question...'"If true altruism is defined in such a way that any kind of self interest or gratification, has to be excluded then it would debatable, not so much if it is "possible" but if it actually exists, I guess.
The question then arises is whether…"
Albert Bakker commented on Morgan Matthew's blog post 'Bill Nye Boo'd In Texas For Saying The Moon Reflects The Sun'"And I thought it was such a big thing in Christian apologetics that cause precedes effect. But first making the light and after that a source from which that light emanated is perhaps more supernaturally elegant. Why not have it so that the Sun…"
Albert Bakker commented on Morgan Matthew's blog post 'Bill Nye Boo'd In Texas For Saying The Moon Reflects The Sun'"Moot point. The moon is not a light.
If the verse would be about appearances of sizes or luminosity, then the Moon appears about the same size as the Sun and is actually a bit bigger as StevelnCO correctly observed. If apparent luminosity is what is…"
Albert Bakker commented on Claudia Mercedes Mazzucco's blog post 'The Bible & Science'"Curious..
A naive evaluation of the worth of the Bible as a prelude to science might be done perhaps by judging the tree by it's fruit. In Europe we refer to the period when the Bible was most influential on the scientific outlook of…"
Albert Bakker commented on Carol Foley's blog post 'Matthew 10:32-36 and how religion poisons loving families.'"I think so too Heather. Even though there is no objective morality (moral realism) if you must philosophize about it, you can still pretend as if there are moral truths and be consistent at the same time. This meta-ethical position is called…"

Heather Spoonheim said… - I'm sorry for the way that discussion turned out, Robert - I had no idea things would turn out that backwards. Thanks for the background info on Senter, I hate to think of how far that thread might have gone.

- Hilarious! So Senter isn't even a creationist, he just used creationist science to disprove their theories, ha ha ha! I had no idea. Thanks, Albert - that make the discussion even funnier. :D

- Thanks for the support, Albert. I don't actually expect to change Sassan at all, but I also know I can't change theists. All I hope to do is stand up to hateful, warmongering, nationalistic doctrines in a way that makes people a bit more timid about presenting them.
