Bob MacVay replied to Rob Klaers's discussion 'How to Persuade an Atheist to Become Christian'"I agree Strega, if the christian person following the advice given in his article and wanting to do the conversion, studied in depth enough to see the Atheist point of view, they would likely see the fallacies of all faith based religions and…"
Bob MacVay replied to Unseen's discussion 'Is there a future for the GOP?'"It amazes me how Romney and the GOP in general can't relate to how their prayers for an election victory went unanswered. It didn't seem to deter him though, as he offered his prayers for the Democrates in his "losers"…"

The Undead by Dick TeresiI am wondering what the folks here think of the book "The Undead" by Dick Teresi. It discusses the technical medical interpetation of when death actually occurs and the ethical questions surrounding organ transplant procedures.Of particular interest is the donor cadaver's apparent reaction to pain in the form of increased blood pressure and heart rate.Are these bodies actually experiencing pain? It is suggested that giving anaesthetics to beating heart cadavers may…See More

Christopher Hitchens Day at Anywhere that one might find a glass of Johnnie Walker Black
April 13, 2013 all day
Celebrating and remembering the life of Christopher Hitchens on the date of his birth, April 13th. Let's lift a glass of Johnnie Walker Black, with a splash of Perrier, to the Bard of Atheism. If you smoke, a standard cigarette will do but a fine Cuban Cigar would be a tribute.See More
Bob MacVay replied to Unseen's discussion 'Drones—Is Impersonal Warfare Better?'"I would say the resulting silence on the subject speaks for itself and answers your question as well Judith!

Bob MacVay replied to Unseen's discussion 'Drones—Is Impersonal Warfare Better?'"A sobering article that puts a different face on drone attacks by Gwynne Dyer.“Double tap” is what mobsters do when they put somebody down. One bullet in the heart, one in the head. That way they stay down. It’s practically…"
Bob MacVay replied to Ashton Pietzman's discussion 'Who is tired of christians being such big hippocrates.'"They appear to be a great support group and present valid arguments against the usual BS that the forefathers founded the country on christian principles. I also think they help to smooth out the "freedom of" and "freedom…"
Bob MacVay replied to Ashton Pietzman's discussion 'Who is tired of christians being such big hippocrates.'"I think we might have to become more active against them. Supporting causes like Americans United for separation of church and state might lessen their numbers. Check it out at www.au.org"
Bob MacVay replied to Dylan Hoyt's discussion 'Opinions on marijauna'"Perhaps I should have said you have the potential of making it somebody's business. As you pointed out "It only becomes someone else's business WHEN it's the cause of some misbehavior or of an accident." Doesn't…"
Bob MacVay replied to Dylan Hoyt's discussion 'Opinions on marijauna'"Heather, I am suprised you would make a statement as broad as "their behavior is never aggressive or a public nuisance" but that being said, I never said it was. I said it affects perception and reaction time and as a person with…"
Bob MacVay replied to Dylan Hoyt's discussion 'Opinions on marijauna'"What I am saying is there comes a time when you have to be prepared to take responsibility for your actions. I didn't say it only applies to weed. I said if, for example, an accident occurs and it can be proved the person responsible was under…"
Bob MacVay replied to Dylan Hoyt's discussion 'Opinions on marijauna'"Exactly what I said, It becomes someone else's business when there is an incident resulting from the actions of the person under the influence of a drug.The point I was making was simply that in some cases the person taking the drug has to bear…"
Bob MacVay replied to Dylan Hoyt's discussion 'Opinions on marijauna'"Yep, I say you suddenly made it everyone else's business when you went outside after smoking weed.I don't think your opinion that smoking weed doesn't effect you in any way is unique, as lots of people acknowledge…"
