"About 5 hours ago, Dr. Clark, you said this: "One out of six in the U.S. is not without health insurance." Was this what you meant to say? I see Obamacare as deeply flawed, but a step forward. Switching to a single-payer…"

God sent the storm to help Obama?
Started this discussion. Last reply by Regina M Oct 31, 2012. 3 Replies 0 Likes
Isn't the obvious religious explanation for the storm that god wanted Obama to look presidential and thus get reelected? How long before some televangelist comes forward with that explanation?Continue
Is there such a thing as conscience?
Started this discussion. Last reply by DarkBlack Oct 17, 2012. 8 Replies 0 Likes
Conscience is a concept extrapolated from the feeling I, and some people, get when contemplating a questionable action, or after having committed one. It will either make me make a correct choice,…Continue

Does Any Rand represent your atheist philosophy?
Started this discussion. Last reply by Roger Wehage Apr 23. 32 Replies 0 Likes
With Paul Ryan's selection as the vice-presidential candidate with Mitt Romney, much is being made of Ayn Rand and her philosophy of "greed is good, charity is evil." Since Rand was an atheist, I…Continue

Jerry Wesner replied to Ruth Anthony-Gardner's discussion End-timers guaranteeing end of civilization
"As long as a majority of Christians -- probably a huge majority -- see this world as only a temporary way-station on the way to the final, permanent world, we can't really expect them to care about preserving it. Life is seen as a test,…"
Secular Forces 2013 replied to Jerry Wesner's discussion Does Any Rand represent your atheist philosophy?
"ha. who!? the catchy name person ? bet if it was say melissa randenhaus.. it'd be not such a popular name.. haDave Silverman, now he's more my style! Ken Loukinen of same org.. yep. AronRa!"
Michael Pianko replied to Jerry Wesner's discussion Does Any Rand represent your atheist philosophy?
"I have not read everything she has wrote and i don't want to just adapt or reject a whole system of philosophy, but as far as I have read I like most of Ayn Rand's ideas. So far I have read The Fountain Head and the Virtue of Selfishness…"
Ted Foureagles replied to Jerry Wesner's discussion Does Any Rand represent your atheist philosophy?
"Short answer: no. When I was a teen (perhaps her proper audience) I must have read just about everything that Ayn Rand wrote -- novels & essays. At the time, I agreed with many of her tenets, and don't wholly reject them all…"
Eric replied to Jerry Wesner's discussion Does Any Rand represent your atheist philosophy?
"Well, her world view/philosophy focused essentially on the individual over the collective. While I don't think it is a necessity to possess a strong grasp of, or position on that subject to address the existence of god, Rand-like…"
Gail replied to Jerry Wesner's discussion Does Any Rand represent your atheist philosophy?
"I think that you are misreading Ayn Rand. She is not saying that greed is good. She is saying that passion is good. Self-respect is good. Vision is good. These things have very different consequnces than those who are…"
Jerry Wesner replied to James M. Martin's discussion Sad Spectacles of the Sunday Talking Heads on Marriage Equality
"I occasionally try to watch a Sunday Morning talk show, but given the preponderance of Republicans they have as guests, and how utterly smarmy they are, I usually give up after a bit. Sounds as if I was right not to watch any this…"
Jerry Wesner commented on Dave Godfrey's blog post The Lie
"People who have a belief in god as a basis of their being cannot comprehend where we're coming from. Whatever supports their belief they would see as proof; whatever conflicts with it must be falsehood. And living without god would…"
Jerry Wesner replied to James M. Martin's discussion Calling All Wonks and Wonkettes
"Of Ryan, James says: "No woman in her right mind would vote for him." But if every woman NOT in her right mind voted for him, and most old white men, he'd be a shoo-in. Remember, there are women rabidly opposed to the…"
Jerry Wesner replied to Thomas Moore's discussion howdy from Texas (not Perry's state)
"I don't see where you're living now, but some chapters (including ours, in Albuquerque) don't meet on Sunday. Our meetings are on Saturdays, from 10 to noon. That's HSNM."
Jerry Wesner replied to John Simkins's discussion wha
"How can you beat "Thank you."? (I like "Live long and prosper" ... and "Peace, and long life") ... but not in this context."
Jerry Wesner replied to ThomasS's discussion My Intro
"Welcome, ThomasS. You sound as if you belong here. I'm glad your father figured it out, saving you the trouble of being persecuted as he was. I can tell already that you'll feel free to pitch in whenever you have an idea…"
Jerry Wesner replied to Fiona Hawke's discussion Kiwi Living in Australia, Moving to USA
"I wish you luck in Kentucky. Some parts of the state are ... less primitive than others. There is at least one Humanist group in one of the cities, and probably more. I hope your son takes well to the change. He may have a…"
Jerry Wesner replied to Future's discussion The Farce of Heaven
"My grandson, recently 15, has long said that heaven and hell are both totally unappealing. But think like the primitive people who invented them! Heaven means you won't be too hot or too cold, won't have fleas and bedbugs and…"
Jerry Wesner replied to Alec William's discussion new to this site
"Welcome, and congratulations on your pride to be who you are. I call myself Humanist, or if pressed agnostic, but I realized a while back that, when it comes to the god of Abraham and Isaac, I'm an atheist -- I not only don't worship…"

Did anyone read the comments below the You Tube version? they were almost all like, "Yeah, thank the lard for sending a ghastly tornado to kill more than 50…"
The Flying Atheist commented on Ruth Anthony-Gardner's group Hang With Friends"Great clip, Tony. People need to realize that not everybody superfluously and automatically thanks god in a time of crisis. Maybe he's learned a lesson and become a smarter man. "
Natalie A Sera commented on Dallas the Phallus's group LINGUAPHILES & SESQUIPEDALIANS"And then, just to confuse things, there's polymath, which is from the Greek poly = much and manthanein = to learn.
