Steve replied to Kevin's discussion 'Seeking something that makes sense'"The reason the morality is question is sometimes greeted with annoyance is 1.) Some believers use it use some kind of attack on atheists and actually think it's a good argument 2.) It seems kind of absurd. 3.) It comes up so often that…"
Steve replied to Trevor's discussion 'Are atheists persecuted in the US?'"It is, however, a religious belief in the legal sense"
Steve replied to Wretched Saint's discussion 'My Atheist Friends, Help Me Understand'"Poe's Law:
"Without a winking smiley or other blatant display of humor, it is impossible to create a parody of fundamentalism that someone won't mistake for the real thing."
It also has a useful corollary that states "It is…"

Oxford Atheist Calls Richard Dawkins "Coward" for Not Debating William Lane Craig
"@Diaz
Focusing only on part of WLC's "arguments" is how he "wins". Defeat in detail. As already said, one of his tricks is to throw out so many points that they are impossible to refute in the time allotted. Even if one were…"
Steve commented on Ed's blog post 'Suffering is therapeutic. Really?'"Christianity is fundamentally anti-human. In other news, water is wet"
Steve replied to Trevor's discussion 'Are atheists persecuted in the US?'"In certain other countries you can know people for decades and never even learn about their beliefs. They may be Christians, but religion just isn't really talked about in normal conversations."

Evolution - We win
"There is some evidence that Tibeteans have evolved further in the time span of only several thousand years. They live comfortably at such high altitudes and can bind more oxygen in their blood than other humans. Tests suggest that the causes are…"
Steve replied to Jon van Rooyen's discussion 'Would indoctrinated kids be able to grasp the fundamentals of math and science in school if they weren't limited by religious beliefs?'"When I was in school, I noticed that most people were either good at maths or languages, but not both. That doesn't mean that the ones were good at languages necessarily sucked at maths, but it wasn't intuitive for them"
Steve replied to Daniel's discussion 'Free will seems like a non-issue.'"As with many things free will is the "solution" to a problem religion created itself. It may be a nice philosophical argument, but in the real world it's irrelevant"
Steve commented on Rocky Oliver (LotusGeek)'s blog post 'Tough, somewhat embarrassing situation for me; time to share...'"No, he is understandably upset that his son fell for an evangelical megachurch of all things. The kid should really know better. He should know the mind control techniques these places use and that they are ultimately nothing but scams to make the…"
Steve commented on Robert Karp's blog post 'Tim Minchin Curses the Pope...a lot. Debate Ensues.'"So he said some "bad" words? So what? People need to grow up. They are just words. Children hear it all the time, no matter how much you want to censor the world for them"
Steve replied to Diego's discussion 'Atheist view on sex'"People don't magically become mature at 18. It's just an arbitrary date. Yeah, we expect people to be grown up by then, but some are mature before that and some aren't after.
It comes down to education. Teenagers should be taught…"
