"@Brindle,
I'm an atheist because I have no faith in a deity, I'm not an atheist because science has proven that there is no god, nor am I awaiting the scientific evidence that a deity does not exist.
You as a theist should await such…"

Greetings from a new member from the Netherlands.I'm a bit of a dweeb, a nerd if you like, and damn proud of it. If you tell me a story I am the kind of person that will actually do a fact check…Continue

Rob the Ridiculous replied to Keith Murphy's discussion 'Could this prove the existence of a God???'Rob the Ridiculous replied to Keith Murphy's discussion 'Could this prove the existence of a God???'"@Brindle,
You sir, are seriously misinformed about atheism. Atheism by itself is nothing more than the position that belief in god(s) is not properly justified due to a lack of evidence.
Thus, atheism is not a positive statement of belief, a…"
Rob the Ridiculous replied to Keith Murphy's discussion 'Could this prove the existence of a God???'"Brindle, you are falling for a trap that many people fall for, the problem that you and everybody else interested in this subject face is that your brain/mind is ill equipped to discuss matters on a quantum scale, or to discuss situations in which…"
Rob the Ridiculous commented on Dan Abshear's blog post 'Doctors On The Take: My Career Ending Expose'"Wow.... that's some seriously f*cked up shite right there. I can only applaud the courage of such conviction and sacrifice. I sometimes wonder what I'd do in such a situation, yet I'd not dare to claim to have the "balls" to…"
Rob the Ridiculous replied to Cesar's discussion 'Are atheist too concerned about religion?'"I'm an apatheist towards god(s), deities and other magical skybeings. However, I do care about politics, society, economics, history, psychology and philosophy all of which are influenced by religious people.
As the vast majority of people…"
Rob the Ridiculous commented on Kristi's blog post 'Tying up the loose ends'"People need symbols, or at least I do. When I decided that I was a full-blown atheist I spend quite some time getting myself unregistered from the Catholic Church. It took me quite some time and effort, and in the end it's just words on paper,…"
Rob the Ridiculous replied to Unseen's discussion 'We'll probably never colonize Mars or deep space - and here's why'"Not really, my point was that we don't currently have the technologies available to us that would allow us to colonize other planets. And even though this might be so in the future, it would be the distant future, I'm afraid. Not…"
Rob the Ridiculous replied to Unseen's discussion 'We'll probably never colonize Mars or deep space - and here's why'"Tachyons can go faster than light, for one."
Rob the Ridiculous replied to Unseen's discussion 'We'll probably never colonize Mars or deep space - and here's why'"Don't be ridiculous Unseen, of course not, what made you think that?

Rob the Ridiculous replied to Unseen's discussion 'We'll probably never colonize Mars or deep space - and here's why'"Heather, I'm talking about tens, hundreds, possibly thousands of years. You are apparently thinking ahead in decades. With our current technology, colonization of Mars might be a bridge too far. And if no new technologies will be discovered in…"
Rob the Ridiculous replied to Unseen's discussion 'We'll probably never colonize Mars or deep space - and here's why'"Heather, sure these are all valid objections, however please be aware that attempting to predict the future is about as hopeless as arguing with a Animal Liberation Front supporter. I mean, not so long ago we "knew" that the earth could…"
Rob the Ridiculous replied to Unseen's discussion 'We'll probably never colonize Mars or deep space - and here's why'"Never?
Perhaps not anytime soon, and perhaps there do exist some technical challenges that we cannot yet overcome, but never? Never is a very long time indeed."
Rob the Ridiculous replied to Shayla's discussion 'Censored in the Workplace'"Really? Damn, I sometimes forget that the US is a silly place when it comes to these matters. Where I come from being allowed to tape things at the workfloor when there is a valid reason to do so, (for instance after complaints, etc). Since a…"
Rob the Ridiculous replied to Saemundur Valdimarsson's discussion 'Greetings from Iceland'"Hi Saemundur, good to have you on ThinkAtheist!
Easy, religion takes away resources from society that have better uses elsewhere and this has always been the case."
