About DPL ... don't worry if that sounds foreign, it's an acronym I made up
Started this discussion. Last reply by booklover Mar 28. 4 Replies 0 Likes
I think it is important to consider that religiosity, similar to human sexuality, is a function of two variables – genetics and religious environment. I have a theory regarding a human genetic “potential” for accepting the god concept, which in turn…Continue
Hmmm - Has anyone here noticed ...

I used to participate in another very popular forum, which I no longer care to join in anymore for various reasons, mainly because they changed their format to something hideous and tiresome to deal with. Apparently I'm not the only one, because I…Continue

What happened to Kalliope?

Anyone know what happened to Kalliope Worter? I noticed that he mysteriously dropped off of my friends list a while back. It was soon after I had linked an article in a comment to him about another Egyptian citizen who was arrested for making…Continue

The Farce of Heaven
Started this discussion. Last reply by Mathew T. Mar 2. 75 Replies 3 Likes
Why is it that religionists accept the concept of heaven without thinking it through to its logical conclusions? To them, that is what this world is all about. Live your life within the guidelines of morality, as dictated by a book that could not…Continue
Degrees of Faith
Started this discussion. Last reply by Future Jan 4. 5 Replies 0 Likes
Faith is the great cop-out, the great excuse to evade the need to think and evaluate evidence. Faith is belief in spite of, even perhaps because of, the lack of evidence.- Richard Dawkins By itself, this quote by Dawkins is entirely rational.…Continue

"I'm so sorry Future! You are right. Some people are fucking terrible!!!! I really believe there is absolutely no hope for some people."
Future replied to Future's discussion About DPL ... don't worry if that sounds foreign, it's an acronym I made up
"Some people are fucking terrible - I have been reminded of this over the last week by some horrible events. Two murders occurred in my home town over a period of four days, and I ended up knowing both of the victims. One of them was a close friend…"
Future replied to Dustin Roy's discussion Reasons why religion is bad.....
"I thought it might be easy to pick through your list and find something easy to discredit. I didn't. Although, when I got to the end I found something that was perhaps worded poorly - #56 - religion destroys countries should probably be…"
Future replied to Ruth Anthony-Gardner's discussion Making fuel from CO2 in the group Atheists who love Science!
"I remain skeptical as well .... partly because the picture looks kind of like Walt from season one of Breaking Bad, posing in front of his high school chemistry lab equipment."
Future replied to Morty Rjbi's discussion The Bull Who Wept for Its Life in the group Wildlife
"On the edge of our subdivision there is a farm. We became enamored with one particular cow in the group, whom we lovingly named Trevor. One day last fall, all the cows disappeared. It's good to know that he is living with monks somewhere.…"

About DPL ... don't worry if that sounds foreign, it's an acronym I made up
I think it is important to consider that religiosity, similar to human sexuality, is a function of two variables – genetics and religious environment. I have a theory regarding a human genetic “potential” for accepting the god concept, which in turn drives religiosity. In my theory, we are born with a uniquely set potential for belief in a god concept that I will refer to as DPL (Divine Potential Limit). My guess is that this genetically determined potential is separate from whatever potential…See More
Future replied to Joe Sherbourne's discussion What are your favourite atheist quotes?
"I am a polyatheist - there are many gods I don't believe in.
- Dan Fouts"
Future commented on Loren Miller's status
"Can you believe it??!! Another crusty old white man is pope. Shocking."
Future commented on David Rice's blog post New Here, I want to know what you all think about emotion vs reason
"Emotion can trump reason in many aspects of humanity. For example, parents of wayward children often defend them and fight for charges to be dropped, even if the evidence clearly shows their guilt. Their emotion…"
Future commented on Randall Smith's blog post Onion's definition of Atheism
"I'm glad that was in the Onion, as it is satirical as hell. The truth is, if religion wasn't constantly trying to muscle in on government, religionists would rarely ever hear from atheists to begin with. We don't care…"
Randall Smith left a comment for Future
"I've used Craigslist, but don't feel comfortable with it for some reason. Guess I like to actually see and touch something before buying it. I even tried to sell my truck on CL. (No takers--I live out in the boondocks.)"

Regarding your comment left on my "newspaper demise" post: despite early failed attempts to get the local news off the internet, for some reason, I now have full access. Perusing the headlines, my original suspicions are confirmed--the printed version is a waste of paper and money (mine). Free is good!

I liked it (your poem)!

Loren Miller said… As to "Alonzo Archimedes Future," I refer you to Gregory Peck's opus, Capt. Newman, MD, which featured Eddie Albert as the above-mentioned Mr. Future, though Albert's character was more conventionally known as Army Col. Norval Algate Bliss.
An odd flick here and there, but worth your time.

Your comments on my post are much appreciated. I've decided I'm not going to jump into the deep end of philosophical analysis of the subject(s). "Shallow Hal" is my mantra!
