"I think the T-shirt expression is a great idea. Although you could wind up in debate everywhere you wear it :). It's too bad your mother can't respect your decision to not believe in religious dogma. We are proud of you for standing up for…"

"To be sure, but there are endless ways, programmatically, to minimize and prevent that. For example turning that feature on after an account has gone through some participation hoops. Once it's turned on there are endless ways to prevent…"

"Lol "2 very lonely neurons in her head".
In my mind a god is like an imaginary friend. When people are told that a deity doesn't exist they perceive it as an attack on their best friend, hence aggression. Sad really."

"Such atrocities generally can't be carried out without the blessing of the church (of one religion or another). Ever noticed?"

Illogicality when theists say god bless to a victim.
Today poking around Youtube I stumbled upon a video topic: Jasenovac. A death camp in the Nazi puppet state of Croatia. I learned that the Vatican was a willing accomplice in the genocide of Yugoslavia's Orthodox Serbians, Jewish and Roma population from 1941 until 1945. The savage butchery carried out on 600,000 men, women and children made Auschwitz look like a country club. This was less of an efficient death factory, it was up close and personal. People were killed mostly by hand with…See More
Geoff commented on Irfan Aslam's blog post The sadness of being born a Muslim
"Thanks for writing your thoughts. "You wont take your knowledge to the grave!" Agreed. How agonizingly absurd is that thought process, it's what keeps followers of Islam backward and trapped in ancient ignorance…"

"Evolution is a fact visible in millions of phenomena. It is seen in the nearly daily development of resistance of bacterial and viral disease organisms to antibiotics. Darwin's theory has to do with natural selection, the mechanism…"
Lois Lane replied to Geoff's discussion It's not a theory. in the group ORIGINS: UNIVERSE, LIFE, HUMANKIND, AND DARWIN
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts.
Facts…"
Jim DePaulo replied to Geoff's discussion It's not a theory. in the group ORIGINS: UNIVERSE, LIFE, HUMANKIND, AND DARWIN
"Evolution is a process, like metabolism. It's observable, measurable and defined. But like metabolism some of the sub processes are not completely understood. So, the more correct statement would be the theories of evolution. Evolution…"
Geoff added a discussion to the group ORIGINS: UNIVERSE, LIFE, HUMANKIND, AND DARWIN
It's not a theory.
Isn't it about time we, meaning humans, stop calling Natural Selection a theory. I think it needs to be called what it really is, a discovery. It's been proven. Evolution is observable it's not a theory. I find it irritating to still read "theory" in books, magazines, TV and the web.
Geoff joined Dr. Terence Meaden's group
ORIGINS: UNIVERSE, LIFE, HUMANKIND, AND DARWIN
We debate origins of the Universe, life, Earth, humans, religion, atheism, using common sense, evolution, cosmology, geology, archaeology, and other sciences, to repel biblical creationism and other religious beliefs.

A god and the god not God!
It's quite frustrating to read atheists writing and using the word god as a proper noun when it is a common noun. We expect theists to use it as a proper noun because they assume that the deity is real and specific. A common noun is something that does not need to be capitalized and is not specific, examples are truck, house, dog, or man, whereas a common noun needs to be capitalized and is very specific such as Ford, the White House, Bulldog, or Edward.The word god does not specifically…See More

Ruth Anthony-Gardner said… Greetings, Geoff! I notice you haven't been active at Atheist Nexus lately. <sigh> Sometimes it can seem a bit fragmented, with different groups for every interest. Please consider a group for socializing, where we talk about whatever's on our minds, Hang With Friends. :D You might feel more at home.
