So biology is religion because it hasn't adequately defined 'life'? Economics is religion because it hasn't adequately defined 'precious'? Please accept my original challenge (with some modifications for accuracy) Can you argue that the Spartans were irrational when they left crippled babies on a h...

A bout the most apt analogy to religion you can get. Religion evolved to appeal to basic human tendencies to pattern matching and assigning agency much like viruses evolve to infect cells. Then we can really say that our entire set of ethical standards are also just like a virus. All the moral beli...

............. I am reminded of the whole "religion is a virus" thing. That was really fucking stupid. It was a very dubious analogy to begin with and it just made atheist look like wackos.

One more dropping about free speech, democracy, and IMO tolerance before I head off to work. I think adult citizens should be allowed to vote without any lapse in that right due to felony conviction(s). I strongly support restoring voting rights to all ex-cons once they exit prison.

.... For example, hippies in the US and Europe acted in a very disruptive way, but (aside from psychos like Manson) were generally non-violent. They didn't blow things up.... so... at least they could be tolerated. But, the survivalist groups in the 1980s/90s helped produce the Oklahoma bombing. Su...

Damn double post... sorry.

If we should all buy into the "Islam is a religion of peace" bullshit, then what the hell are we doing as atheists? Islam is NOT a religion of peace, much like Christianity is NOT a religion of love.

Haha. Skep and I simultaneously wrote a similar post and ended with the "This is my 2 cents" phrase. This was purely coincidental as we were writing at the same time. Together we will need 4 ninja cents!

Regarding that Charlie Hadbo killings I have the following observations: Many young men in modern Western countries feel week and alone and lacking power. Some folks call them disenfranchised. You see this in many groups and with many people. This ranges from 1980s/90s survivalists in the US to radi...

Oh, and a lot of people deal with 'fear, anxiety and despair' with secular therapy and/or medication, meditation, exercise, lots of things.

I can't disagree, because we are talking about two different things. You are talking about religious people, I am talking about religious beliefs. I contend that good people would be good without religion, and the religious beliefs are extraneous. Same goes the other way for atheists. If PZ suddenl...

In a sense Jews are responsible, because of the whole monotheism thing, although of course they've mostly cleaned up their act and left the atrocities to the Christians and Muslims now.

The guardianista view: Observant Muslims anywhere would be angered by such images.

Here in Canada, it's 14 or 16 depending on how old the other person is. Last I heard, anyways. It may have changed. I'm not arguing for or against any specific age, just against RoboKitty's stance, which seems to abandon age of consent altogether based on a non-existent 'science'. Yeah... I underst...

Nonetheless, and all that being said, it is quite specifically and quite strictly a genitalia focussed phenomenon (phenomena?). I do not in any way whatsoever find any man sexually attractive, though I do still find many women sexually attractive, and therefore I still define myself as straight. Al...

John D. brought it up earlier but got ignored--people do milk bulls for semen. How is that functionally different from giving bulls handjobs without involving cow bait? And how about artificial selection in animal breeding? Since an agent capable of legal consent is involved (the human breeder/seme...

I enjoyed in more in Middle School where the kids were at least honest enough to say "Madonna sucks!" I mean, you can't really argue with that. At least the kids weren't making up fake reasons in Middle School like they did in High School. I, for one, wouldn't object to being sucked by Madonna. am ...

Middle aged white men who have money or career problems are very prone to suicide. Men in their 40s tend to be valued by how "successful" they are. I like to summarize by saying "Women are valued for what they are and men are valued for what they do." Of course, since this is a white man problem it...

Regarding Cultural Appropriation and Madonna or Iggy.. or whatever... Hipsters....

It was ne...

A very unusual topic indeed. I guess I never really thought about how this sort of thing is done. I am glad I don't have any pets.

Many people "own" pets.... cats, or dogs, or hamsters....etc.

Is it cruel to keep an animal from the satisfaction of sexual gratification? Should, for example, dog owner masturbate their dogs when they are humping a stranger (rather than swatting them on the nose).

So.... are the people who raise beef cattle raping the bulls when they masturbate them to collect the semen? Inquiring minds want to know!

That could well be a factor. SJW's tore into Dan Savage for his "It Gets Better" campaign. For those who don't know; It Gets Better was a bunch of YouTube message videos made by gay adults(some celebs)to discourage gay teen's from suicide. SJW's HATED IT. They said Savage was lying to gay teens abo...

This is definitely not a popular opinion... but I have wondered if the interactions Leelah had online with transpeople - if they were of the activist SJW type - might have made her more depressed/focused on the way she looked/were somewhat instrumental in her death. Like I said there's a fair diffe...

There is already a thing that balances between need and want... it's called masturbation. I know you haven't been single in decades, so you might not realize that it gets old fast.

Here's Brayton on Avicenna. Save your clicks. It is with great sadness that I announce that Avicenna Last of the A Million Gods blog has been removed from Freethought Blogs [...] But facts are facts.

Just been watching some cunt from the Lizard Squad smirking his way through an interview and justifying his hacking because (a) he's demonstrating that Sony security is vulnerable and (b) kids ought to be spending more time with their families.

I knew of a guy who used to make multiple posts using the N word, talking about how blacks were inferior, and claiming that "libtards" should all be sent to the gas chamber. When various bloggers would document his behaviour and call him a racist nutbag, he threatened them with defamation, claimed ...

Hate to pull the no-true-Scotsman fallacy out, but I'd have to say if a Christian only rates a 30/100 for crazy beliefs, then they aren't really Christians. The belief in a resurrection, which I'd say is essential, puts you around 90 alone. I know these numbers are coming out of my ass, but you get...

No I am with you on this. Scientology is no crazier than any other religion. The crazy part about Scientology, IMO, is that it's a transparently modern creation that can be attributed to a single person living in recent memory. It lacks the organic spontaneity of cargo cults, and unlike the majorit...

I get that Scientology, and Cruise, are nuts, but if Scientology is a 95 on a scale from 1 to 100 in insanity, then typical, bog standard Christianity is still a 90. And no one gets called nuts for being a Christian. I like Cruise, generally. There, I left myself open for an attack on my taste, I g...
