Greg B. replied to Ruth Dickson's discussion 'Are There Any Conservative Atheists?'

Thanks, and there is some truth in this. However, neither cultures, nor the individuals that belong to them need to die off in order to change and adapt. In fact, fads spread and history is re-evaluated all the time in cultures. They also tend to…

Greg B. replied to Ruth Dickson's discussion 'Are There Any Conservative Atheists?'

The left-right dichotomy becomes more time worn and useless with every passing day. But it is very interesting to think about where it originated, and what kinds of things went together under the names of conservative and liberal in those days. It…

Greg B. replied to Reality Activist's discussion 'Libertarianism'

... the chief error of contemporary 'sociobiology' is to suppose that language, morals, law, and such like, are transmitted by the 'genetic' processes that molecular biology is now illuminating, rather than being the products of…

Greg B. replied to Reality Activist's discussion 'Libertarianism'

First, I want to address your claim that "ignoring the need to adapt to a changing world" is a true characterization of libertarianism. Recall that the idea that because our society has advanced so quickly and is ahead of other…

Greg B. replied to Reality Activist's discussion 'Libertarianism'

Does it bother you that none of those wars was declared? The US constitution makes congress responsible for choosing when the president can exercise war powers, it is part of the checks and balances which are the reason we have the 3 branches. Yet…

Greg B. replied to Reality Activist's discussion 'Libertarianism'

I agree with much of what you said here, particularly the first half. The problem with trying to use government to keep business in line is, as you said, "the bigger the cookie jar, the bigger the temptation." The more powerful the…

Greg B. replied to Reality Activist's discussion 'Libertarianism'

This is not a subject I know a great deal about, however, I know that there are some books presenting alternative analysis of WWII from a libertarian perspective. The problem with using the military to prevent horrors perpetrated on others, far…

Greg B. replied to Reality Activist's discussion 'Libertarianism'

I do not personally endorse the party. I think that having Bob Barr as their presidential candidate last time around showed a lot of desparation. It just isn't what it was in the late 90's - early 2000's. Membership in all of our…

Greg B. replied to Reality Activist's discussion 'Libertarianism'

Well, I can't claim to be the best defender of libertarian ideas, but the idea that libertarianism is ridiculous or that all the ones you've heard about are crazies just isn't going to fly rationally. Ad hominem saves time, but it is…

Greg B. commented on Kate Holden's group 'Atheist Photography Club'

Hello. I live in Houston, Texas where I have been working with a local wedding photographer doing lightroom editing, (also editing wedding videos with Final Cut Pro.) I have been practicing strobist techniques with my dslr recently. I have a BFA…

Atheist Photography Club

For the most part we photographers see the world as it truly is through the lens of a camera which is what we also strive to do as atheists and skeptics. Photographers of all skill levels welcome.See More

Welcome to Atheist Nexus with its 8800+ good friends and discussion groups.
Among the groups, try visiting perhaps the busy group “ORIGINS: Universe, Life, Humans, Evolution, Religion.....” with its commonsense discussions to repel religious nonsense. You will be welcome.
One is "Proud to be Atheist" (74 posts) seeing that atheists and humanists hold the intellectual high ground compared with the pathetic superstitions of the god followers.
