"Well most alcohol, I don't. But I do really love the taste of vodka. It still needs to be mixed with something. But the combination of that with a coke is very refreshing and amazing to me. MMMmm hehe "

*Tin foil cap on* Do you think the Catholic Church made the bible so long to discourage people from reading it?

I know nothing about the creation of the bible, so I admit it's unlikely conjecture. It was just a funny thought that occurred to me while pondering the fact that so many christians know so little…Continue
You know you're an atheist when...

My friend and I came up with a few good ones today. I googled the phrase, and only came up with Christians using it to (very poorly) mock atheism. Let's show 'em how it's done.Continue

Unseen replied to erik112358's discussion 'Alcohol: do people genuinely 'like' the taste?'"Alcohol in enough concentration to preserve anything probably came along with the invention of distillation. Salt and sugar (yes, sugar) functioned as preservatives long before alcohol performed that function.

Daniel (Not Dan) replied to erik112358's discussion 'Alcohol: do people genuinely 'like' the taste?'"Personally, I can't stand the taste of it.

Unseen replied to erik112358's discussion 'Alcohol: do people genuinely 'like' the taste?'"Let me put this as plainly as possible. I don't like beer, wine, or distilled spirits because my society conditioned me to. I literally ENJOY these things. And, yes, they do taste good to me.
Also, while you did mention that alcohol is a poison…"
Tim replied to erik112358's discussion 'Alcohol: do people genuinely 'like' the taste?'"I grew up in a very Fundamentalist home - no smoking, no dancing, no swearing, and definitely no alcohol.

Wraith replied to erik112358's discussion 'Atheists, are you introverted or extroverted?'"Social behaviour is extroversion and while that might drive society onwards, introversion is what drives it upwards. Ex/social conformity, is what makes society keep working. Introversion and non conformity is what makes society progress."

Diane replied to erik112358's discussion 'Atheists, are you introverted or extroverted?'"I go back and forth on the extroversion/introversion scale. It is when I am most depressed that I am most introverted."
Wraith replied to erik112358's discussion 'Atheists, are you introverted or extroverted?'"So true. Most psych test fail under this association. Prior knowledge spoils the results."

Thanks for the add - AND for the compliments. That is a great little exchange and I'm kinda liking my stance there at the moment, :D

Intellectual Convergence vs Divergence in Science and Religion

So I was surfing youtube today, which included the usual cast of characters: Thunderf00t, Lawrence Krauss, Phil Hellenes, etc. And then, despite my better judgement, I decided to read the comments on a video. Of course, there wasn't anything of substance, but I did encounter a claim against science (not even "for god") that I hadn't come across before. In a nutshell, the claim was this: 1) Scientists fall on both sides on whether global warming is natural or caused by people, 2)…

I just saw this film tonight. Originally, I was typing a response to this blog, but my reply snowballed enough that I'd like to get a more direct response. I'm also not a "blogger" or even LIKE to write very much, so don't expect this to be very profound. Just hoping to start a good discussion about a good movie. Also, I have clearly marked where I start talking about specific plot-points and grayed-out the…
