"And I agree with you 100%, Sandi. Losing a debate doesn't mean your argument is invalid. Winning a debate doesn't mean your argument is valid."

"Atheist Exile,
Don't give me crap about them being Wikipedia variations, please. Objectivity is used in various ways, especially with regards to ontological or epistemological questions. If you don't like that or it doesn't interest…"

"Hi Michael OL,
Yes, I agree . . . and find nothing to argue with . . . darn it.
Something I forgot to include is the question of the possibility of morality from an omnipotent creator God. If something is moral because God wills it, why does he will…"

"@Matt VDB,
There are assumptions at the root of all knowledge and I can see the soft sciences making subjective value judgments but the hard sciences? Can you give me examples of what you mean by "value judgments" in say, quantum mechanics…"

- Yeah....shiny buckle on the bible belt. Life here can be verrrry interesting. I choose to look at the whole place as one big madhouse. That way, when you laugh at the inmates, they usually don't get it! Humor is just the way I deal. And, it depends on the people you're dealing with. I was born and raised here, so I'm pretty used to the way people are. You can either laugh or drive yourslf crazy with the stupidity.
Good luck eith the postings. I thought they were hilarious. Guess some folks just ain't got no sense of humor!

Your other discussion that went missing was
"HOW DO WE KNOW THE TRUTH? " By Free Thinker [ Started 11 March 2009]
Is it worth restarting this too?

- Hey, Free, Actually things have een pretty lean for the past 6-7 months. I've worked for a staffing agency for about 7 years now, and when things got tight aout last August, we all got our hours cut. I work 2 part-time jobs now, one I really like, but only gives me about 10 hrs a week ( if I'm lucky) and the other I hate. Am in the process of trying to sell my soul to the fed...ie: the VA hospital in OKC. Wish me luck.
Yeah, OKC and Lawton have changed a lot. I've posted some of the pics of the OKC Memorial on my site, but it's not all bad. the economy is still pretty good, cost of living is low, no pollution, fairly decent weather....tornado season notwithstanding. I'm sure you don't miss that. Hell, we've even started to have little earthquakes! Good thing there is no god or I would start to think he was really pissed off at us. bwaaaahahahahaaaa.
Best,
Cassie

I just stumbled upon a year-old YouTube video named, “Sam Harris gets destroyed by Dr. William Lane Craig”. It’s the 2-hour University of Notre Dame debate held on April 7, 2011, between Harris and Craig. It was titled: “The God Debate II: Is Good from God?” The video can be found at the bottom of this page.
And guess what? Harris really was destroyed by Craig!…

The naturalist understanding of morality asserts that we have evolved empathy as an impetus to cooperation. Combined with personal experience, empathy leads most of us to a "Golden Rule" sense of morality. From experience, I know what hurts me: with empathy, I know the same things likely hurt you too. Experience and empathy is all we need to decide most moral matters. "Do unto…

There's a fundamental disconnect between atheists and the word "atheist". Part of this is because there isn't complete agreement on what the word means.
- Lack of belief in God
- Lack of belief in God's existence
Lack of belief in God could simply mean a choice not to believe in God because he is cruel or undesirable for some reason -- but does not… Continue

i've got no problem with everyone saying "merry christmas" on christmas day. however, they've turned it into an entire holiday season where it lasts a month or more. in those situations it should be perfectly acceptable to say "happy holidays" or call it a…

My first funeral as an atheist
Posted by Two Cult Survivor on May 21, 2013 at 11:30am 0 Comments 0 Likes
I posted the bulk of this on another thread, but wanted to add some context separately.
I finally confronted my faith and embraced the fact of my atheism late last August, 2012. Days after I revealed my "epiphany" to a few friends who knew me from another message board, my sister died from Lou Gehrig's Disease (which pissed her off because she hated catching a disease from someone she never f---ed).
THAT was my sister, understand? She was a beautiful, life-loving, potty-mouthed…

Death of a family member
Posted by Larry Taylor on May 20, 2013 at 8:15pm 8 Comments 2 Likes
OK. I am venting. My mother died two weeks ago. She was a “god fearing christian.” Before her death she refused all medical treatment. She wanted to be left alone. She even refused to speak with my brother who is a methodist minister. He is a pip, let me tell you! I suspect she did not believe, but a woman born in her time could not and did not state her actual beliefs. This is the opening salvo to all christians; FUCK YOU! I had so many people come and tell…

This probably should not have shocked me as much as it did (especially since I am in Texas). I actually thought my coworkers were playing a joke on me because they know I am an atheist. Sadly, this was no joke. This actually happened.
I work in a psychiatric hospital. The doctors who admit patients are general MDs. (Psychiatrists see patients after admission) Yesterday evening we received several calls from irate parents. A new doctor who was doing admissions yesterday actually…
