Josiah Allen replied to happyembolism's discussion Is posting atheist quotes hiding behind someone else's voice?
"Try posting a quote, and commenting on why you like it. That way you will have original thought in there.
Using quotes are fine, sometimes you just can't say things much better, and I like to quote Greek scholars just to show that these…"
Josiah Allen replied to Trevor Nelson's discussion Bet you're wondering why I've called you here...
"Can I get rid of Sunday school?
Or maybe re-erecting the wall between the church and the state, getting the government to realize that churches are just businesses that can't deliver on what they sell.
As far as the general American populace…"
Josiah Allen replied to violet cleonstar's discussion im atheist, depress, and confuse..
"Sometimes old people, even though they have seen many years, are still misguided about many things...many people decide they are right and everyone else is wrong and never question that their entire lives. An skeptic will always question his views…"
Josiah Allen replied to Pastafarian Kitty's discussion Advice? My atheism isn't all that great to some...
"Some people see confidence as as sign of being arrogant or wrong, without actually checking out the arguments. He may think it's close minded to mock religion, for example. (See QualiaSoup's youtube video on open-mindedness for a rebuttal)…"
Josiah Allen replied to Not important's discussion Ever have this fantasy? Someone happens to see an athiest related item of yours and converts themselves.
"No one converts 'suddenly', but I think getting the word out there that there are atheists and they have good arguments certainly helps give believers doubts, or skeptics the tools they need to confirm what they were thinking already."

Just teasin', welcome to the site. Me and all my siblings were named after bible heros, but now I hope to retake my name in the cause of reason."

Josiah Allen replied to Bob Stewart's discussion Does God really not exist?
"1. I think therefore I am. Any knowledge beyond that can be considered a belief. The term knowledge is subjective to your assumptions. Saying we're all believers is not profound. It is that 'difference' that makes all the difference,…"

Josiah Allen replied to Greta K.'s discussion how to practice "conversational intolerance"
"Just casually say 'I was always told they were metaphors.' It's best to voice your opinion, but not directly question theirs, as if you're sharing your experiences and not judging what they just said."
Josiah Allen replied to Krystal's discussion Hi, I'm Krystal
"So I take it you're not up for a game up poker then. On the other hand, I'd vote you into public office :)
I think it's great you're getting by the best you can with your disability. Cheers."
Josiah Allen replied to Courtney Conto's discussion I'm on my way to becoming athiest, but I need advice.
"Probably the most maddening part of growing up is realizing that the world is not as simple as our parents first describe it to us. May you always seek truth, follow reason, and demand evidence.
A site I like is Ex-Christian.net
Not only does the…"
Josiah Allen replied to Nightfall's discussion Why is Athiest such an identifying label?
"If there weren't many theists I'd agree with you, but because it's puts us in a group that outright rejects a lot of what the majority of the planet believe, and that belief is a big deal in world affairs.
It's useful because…"

Ian Mason commented on Ruth Anthony-Gardner's group Hang With Friends"The medical profession seems to have improved in some areas at least. Personally I think some of that is due to the higher level of education of society as a whole. We know too much to put up with bad treatment now. I saw a documentary last year…"
