I feel kind of shitty now, plus I'm at work so I don't have time to blog. I'll write a fuller post later.I think it's funny. People ask you all day, "How are you?" The answer you must give is "Fine,…Continue

So often internet discussions turn into arguments about nothing; but every now and again you hit upon something truly interesting. And it doesn't always have a thing to do with the original article. For instance, there's some fascinating dialog going on about the morality of the old testament, posted on an article that was originally about net neutrality.…See More
Physeter replied to Unseen's discussion 'New theory of cosmic origin implies no Big Bang'"What are you, some kind of masochist? You did all those calculations in non-metric units...?"
Physeter replied to Unseen's discussion 'New theory of cosmic origin implies no Big Bang'"But..but...I'm so confused! The universe is expanding, right? And it's that expansion that originally lead to the theory of a start-point called the "big bang".... So if the universe had no beginning, how can it still be here?…"
Physeter replied to Virgil's discussion 'I must have missed something. Why did so many people become outraged over a pilot being burned to death but not over so many larger and more deplorable acts?'"I'd say burning the Jordanian pilot to death alive, and posting so much of it, was video torture. Maybe why it was a bigger deal to people."

Strega replied to Physeter's discussion 'Mini post: That weird question, "How are you doing?"'"I hear you, Virgil. It's a funny tendency by straight people to collectivise us, but we are really the two extreme ends of the spectrum with everything else in between."
Virgil replied to Physeter's discussion 'Mini post: That weird question, "How are you doing?"'"I think the same way Strega. The biggest thing we have in common is our adversaries. Because of that, we are "comrades at arms" fighting for the same things against the same forces.

Davis Goodman replied to Physeter's discussion 'Mini post: That weird question, "How are you doing?"'"Mmm. I think you may have leaped to a slightly farther conclusion than was made.
"Expect some sort of dating beforehand" does not imply "wanting nothing but a long term relationship". In this context it meant: Lesbians through…"
Strega replied to Physeter's discussion 'Mini post: That weird question, "How are you doing?"'""And where lesbian women are more likely to expect some sort of courtship or dating beforehand"

Virgil replied to Physeter's discussion 'Mini post: That weird question, "How are you doing?"'"I said they outnumber openly gay men 2:1. I've been corrected.

Davis Goodman replied to Physeter's discussion 'Mini post: That weird question, "How are you doing?"'"LOL I missed that. This is indicative of a profile that says "discretion is essential". "
Virgil replied to Physeter's discussion 'Mini post: That weird question, "How are you doing?"'"I was talking about men married to women who sneak around for sex with men. Honest. They outnumber self identifying gay men by at least two to one."
Davis Goodman replied to Physeter's discussion 'Mini post: That weird question, "How are you doing?"'"I'm not saying that they are sneaking around. Countless profiles say they are in "open marriages" and even link their husbands profile."

How to prove God is real
Posted on February 22, 2014 at 1:00pm 0 Comments 1 Like
So, I’ve noticed a lot of Christians use words when they debate.
It doesn’t matter whether it’s a live debate, or an Internet discussion. Christians always use words. They will make logical arguments about why the world must have a Creator. They’ll talk about history, and claim the Bible is reliable and true. They’ll give personal experiences. They’ll talk about how morality must come from a divine law-giver, or claim life is meaningless without God.
They’ll draw on…

Have you ever heard Christians say that God refuses to make his existence obvious, because he doesn’t want to force you to believe? That he doesn’t want to override your free will?

Suppose you have two caramel apples that appear identical. You ask me which one I want, and since I can’t see any difference between the two, I arbitrarily choose the apple on the right because it’s slightly larger. I bite into it and—surprise!—it’s actually a caramel onion.
I can’t eat…

Ever have one of those moments where you think you’ve found something interesting and new, but it turns out to be the same old nonsense everyone else is peddling?
I found a blog on Patheos called “Science on Religion”, and I thought it sounded pretty good. It looked like either an atheist or a liberal Christian blog, based on the artwork and name. I thought it could give an interesting perspective.
It turns out it’s an excuse for Christians to crow about how real science is…
