"Not sure what you meant by "full-on Atheist". Do you mean you went through a period of doubt and are now certain of the lack of existence of any god?
If atheism is simply a natural lack of belief in any deity, then surely it is not…"

Karl Mugele replied to JP Prater's discussion 'When YOU Became Atheist...'"Yours is an odd, very out-dated idea seen from the UK.
There's not really any more cloying overpowering religious community any more and hasn't really been for 50+ years. Most people are atheist or agnostic. Out in the…"
Karl Mugele replied to Natasha Gladwell's discussion 'How to argue against a particular delusion.'"Would a child humourously dressed with a green hat and a ginger beard, and pot of gold paint do?"
Karl Mugele replied to JP Prater's discussion 'Does this bother anyone?'"Good point Tom - "devout" religion exactly was a cloak showing how good an ex-girlfriend's son was to the world...even though he was as bad if not worse than anyone else."
Karl Mugele replied to Natasha Gladwell's discussion 'How to argue against a particular delusion.'"Why act like a sheep Richard. You seem to be saying that a fictional book of tribal myths, no more real that the myths in the Illiad or Beowulf; this book having been translated from multiple languages not contemporaneously by…"
Karl Mugele replied to Unseen's discussion 'Affirmative Action: Does It Do More Harm Than Good?'"someone from ZA told me some jobs were held by hereditary Africans but that an additional consultant had to be employed to help them do their job. True/False? ... I ask because they were fairly racist in respect of ideas they were prepared to take…"
Karl Mugele replied to Natasha Gladwell's discussion 'How to argue against a particular delusion.'"Typing on a Galaxy does nit work on TA...grrrr...just lost a long post on the chicken and egg. Suffice it to say that this is a riddle that proves a lack of precision in natural language, not soeciation, which has been proven, e.g. domestic sheep…"
Karl Mugele replied to Natasha Gladwell's discussion 'How to argue against a particular delusion.'"@Richard Bohn
All gods can be disproven satisfactorily fir a law court. All gods are inherently impossible. Logic dictates that a negative cannot be proved...how would you prove absence? How could you prove missing DNA. In law we have the concept…"
Karl Mugele commented on Carol Foley's blog post 'Am I Intolerant?'"But equally 3rd world catholics are kept in powerty by being denied contraception. I wonder what the comparative figure is? Numbers of US citizens helped by catholic health foundations vs number of people abused by catholic priests,…"
Karl Mugele commented on Carol Foley's blog post 'Am I Intolerant?'"Joshua D.
Funny you are making the same statement but about other religions. You lump all "other" religions together. Why is yours so special?
Carol was quite cleaqr that it is the religion she has a probelm with and not the…"
Karl Mugele commented on Carol Foley's blog post 'Am I Intolerant?'"@MikeLong & unseen
Wow guys - is there such a thing as a religious hospital nowadays in your area?
In the UK some, possibly even many hospitals are called "St." something - e.g. St Barts. Religion plays no part in their…"
Karl Mugele replied to Natasha Gladwell's discussion 'How to argue against a particular delusion.'"Very funny Richard! I really don't believe that anyone could possibly be so blind and unintelligent so I can only assume you are taking the mickey.
It's not helpful."
Karl Mugele commented on Carol Foley's blog post 'Am I Intolerant?'"Firstly - no assumption is required to be atheist. This is the entire point. You need assumption to believe, not to disbelieve. Disbelief is (or should be) the default position. Do children come out of the womb with a pre-installed…"
Karl Mugele replied to Natasha Gladwell's discussion 'How to argue against a particular delusion.'"I'd also argue the point you erroneously make that people "invented" science. That's not strictly true. It would be like saying that people invented walking. Science is the method by which we investigate the way…"
Karl Mugele replied to Natasha Gladwell's discussion 'How to argue against a particular delusion.'"If there were a design, especially by a super intelligent being, why would the designed objects such as us be so imperfect?
