Andy replied to Lana's discussion New Hitchens Debate in Canada in the group Everything Hitchens!
"Religion has had a positive influence in culture in the same sense that Nazi Germany has had a positive influence on scientific discovery in regards to human anatomy and physiology. Were their prices too high?"
Andy replied to La Gaya Sienza's discussion How many atheists have formally defected from the Church?
"I went to this page to make my declaration as a defector. They have suspended their process secondary to changes in Canon Law. I guess the church is bleeding members and needs to shore up their numbers a little."

Religious Belief: A Familial Wall of Separation
Posted on February 2, 2011 at 12:09pm 1 Comment 0 Likes
I was asked by my father to join the Freemasons. I get that my being involved with that organization would be a source of pride for him. After a bit of research about the group, I found that they have three qualifying rules that must be met before being allowed membership. First, you must be a man. Okay, got that one without issue. Second, you must be at least 21 years of age. Again, no problem. Finally, you must have a belief in God. Well now! That's gonna be a problem. At first I…

One of the components of Johnny Walker black is the 10-year-old Talisker, which is VERY smoky and peppery. I like it ... but I have to be in the right mood to drink it!

If Johnny Walker black tastes gross, it's because it blends two VERY disparate whiskies. Try a single-malt for a change, like Glenlivet or MacAllan, and preferably straight up.
Cheers!

Dr. Terence Meaden said… - Hello Andy
That's a sad tough story you are telling about your Mom. Yes, all gods need killing for the reason that their only home is the fiction inside people's brains.
Welcome to this friendly meeting place with freethinkers who recognise that fictional gods and devious religions have always been deceiving and controlling vulnerable people besides indoctrinating defenceless children;
----and how tragic and inexcusable it also is that women and minorities have been oppressed these last two thousand years and longer.

founder of the busy group "ORIGINS: Universe, Astronomy, Life, Earth, Humans, Religion, Evolution, Darwin..." with its 310 discussion topics.
We invite you to join us and 1800 others.

Joan we are here to support you and you are in our thoughts.
Happy hump day to you too Melinda!"
Wyatt posted a blog postTheists, Cargo Cults, and Logic
So tired of religious apologists asking me to show evidence for the non-existence of their particular god. I've asked them how they would go about showing evidence for the non-existence of the dragon in Carl Sagan's garage or Russell's celestial teapot. They assert that the analogy is false, but don't explain how. They use words like 'logic' or 'inference' as if they were magic charms without fully understanding what these words mean. It's not unlike superstitious primitives from a cargo cult…See More
