Very caustic sarcasm, like it! :)
You mentioned the ancient sky god when you put a capital G in god. The god of the old testament, yes? If you insult the intellectual capacity of all non-believers...

Total non sequitur. What you are actually saying is you must agree with my assertions or you are stupid. That is a cunning way to argue but doesn't really achieve anything.
Explain why...

“Evil fish faced god avatars” here.

We need an evil god. It is a shame that no gods exist.
Almost all religions have evil. Almost all mythology has evil. Humans require evil because it...

I am willing to an absolute dictator. I desire neither power, fame nor worldly possessions. I will rule for the good of the maximum number of people. I will be absolutely benevolent. Except to mime...

Sdjenkyn, how can you say only experts in a particular field are allowed to voice their opinions on said field? That would make discussions infrequent and terminally short. That is not a workable...

An interesting juxtaposition of theology and neurology, chai. Good one.
From a vaguely scientific perspective religion displays a lot of characteristics similar to love. It seems to me whatever is...

That was not up to your usual standard E.
I'm giving you a C-. Must try harder.
Here is the kind of thing you should be linking (from the same page on youtube).

Chai, I do not accept the doctrine of cultural relativism. To me most truths are binary, not shades of grey.
I see the current Islamic extremist / Western conflict as a conflict between secularism...

Why do I, an atheist, debate theology? To me religion is philosophy. Therefore it is open to reasoned enquiry.
To turn the OP on its head...Why should religion be special and beyond examination? ...

It is just a sop to public opinion. People are angry because TB lied and tricked us into an unwinnable war. Parliament will still do what the PM tells it to. All GB is doing is sharing the blame for...

There is historical evidence of Jesus. They found his grave. Trouble is he was still in it and he had a wife!

DB rocks.
How do we know Derren Brown is NOT actually doing magic tricks though? Maybe he is the devil or the messiah or something. How do you prove it isn't really magic just because he says it...

Yeah, agnostics! <spits> Nice unassuming people who don't want to offend anyone including gods by being so rude as to definitely not believe in them. I trample on their dead relatives' graves! :)

This is an alter ego. I fail to see the point in creating more of them. I'd just lose track of their respective identities. It's just like telling lies in the real world. I can't be bothered to lie...

Ashkenazi Jewish people as evidence of recent observable human evolution within the space of a few hundred years? More grist to the OP's mill?

It matters because if atheists can go to heaven then religious people are wasting their time. Don't you want to go out and have fun instead of sticking religiously to the letter of religiously...

Both 1 and 2 have the same outcome. Therefore my wholly unfounded, retrospective and entirely subjective justification of atheism wins. Hallelujah! :)

Politicians need to give the impression they know what they are doing. So some degree of gravitas is undeniably a good thing. Conversely they also need to be the kind of person that a certain...

Do good atheists go to heaven?

1)If the answer is yes then why bother with observing religion?
So why not just live a happy fulfilling life as best you can and spend Sundays getting gently...

Not really proof of aliens. More of a moral tale for aliens. Don't land in remote parts of Rostov!

Why should the west get involved? How is it our problem? Our governments have a duty to do what is in the people's interests. Zim being a hole is not our problem. They do not have nutters determined...

A third of the SS were fully paid up Catholics - historical fact. Hitler was most likely a Catholic.
To apply the same logic that some religious people insist on applying to non-believers in...

TB almost certainly is a catholic in all but name already. As has already been pointed out his wife is, he has attended mass this whole time and his children all are.
He didn't like to admit he was...

Kudos to the news reader lady! All the same can't help feeling she should have been true to her references and burst into a song about wanting to be a lumberjack.
We should be more sympathetic to...

English is a Germanic language not a Romance language. It just stole a lot from the Italic derived languages is all.
As to why 'c' exists....the same reason all the confusing complications and...

Sunday and Monday also have pagan origins:
Monday = Mani(Norse) / Mona(Old English) = Germanic Moon God

I have been a fan of 'King Og of Basin' for many years.
Don't know if that counts as fictional, it's from a Psalm I think, but it should.

The triumph of monotheism is due to Rome (and Roman Catholicism) and then Mohammed. There were socio-political reasons as well as religious reasons.
Given the vast swathe of human history it is a...

I don't think he is trying to say that at all. (Hem...and the Normans were NOT French!!!)
I think the point is that if you take all of history into account there is always someone else to blame...

Yeah. Introduce religious taxes! That'll be a universal vote winner!

The West should buy all the opium and use it to make cheap morphine and other opium based legal medicines. Then sell them to developing countries cheaply.

Aha. See where you're going wrong. May be able to offer advice. Yoghurt = food. Lid = packaging. You are not supposed to eat the lid at all! :laughter:

Keep reading for such classics as:“Nide muchin shr egad a wukwei”: “Your mother is a big turtle” (from China).
