Thank you for your elucidation Danny. I don't think it was too long and agree wholeheartedly with your concluding paragraph. I will read the links you provide over the next couple of days.
So your conclusion would be that Pius should be…
Yes, my reference to Benedict's time in the Hitler youth was unnecessary hyperbole that I shouldn't have made. He did however recently reinstate Bishop Richard Williamson, who is clearly a holocaust denier (I was also erroneous in my…
Having read the pdf posted above, I'm not 100% sure agree with you that the lack of happy ending ruins this tale. It would certainly be nice if there was something to point to Darwin's "There is grandeur in this view of life" but…
I noticed this whilst reading the OP. Sikhism is frequently cited as being the 5th largest world religion, with almost twice as many adherents as Judaism, but the way it religion is discussed on the English speaking web I always find it reminiscent…
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.
I don't think there is anything wrong with a host nation expecting all long term migrants to have at least a basic competency in at least one of their official languages before granting them a work permit, student visa, indefinite leave to…
The official position is it has been genetically engineered to help pharma-giantsthrough the global downturn.
At least according to Indonesia's Minister of Health:
"JAKARTA - Indonesian Heath Minister Siti Fadilah Supari said Tuesday the…
As is pointed out above, the religiosity of the Third Reich was very complex. Most historians seem to agree that Hitler's own theological position is far from clear cut, at least in terms of the standard labels. Many do assert though, that the…
Doesn't seem particularly surprising give Pious XII's reputation as Hitler's Pope and the recent news of the British bishop in South America (Argentina, I think) being excommunicated and then reinstated by the ex-Hitler Youth Benedict…
I'm so glad I live in a country that has a picture of Charles Darwin and the HMS Beagle on our £10 note!
I'm no expert on the US constitution and the Bill of Rights, but couldn't a prima facie case be made that by printing…
Living in an effectively post-Christian country, although still de-facto Christian, I have to say an awful lot of homophobia is cultural rather than specifically religious. There is a very high proportion of people who having been brought up with…
I'm agreed on your first two paragraphs. When asked my religion I reply "none" and would describe my predominate philosophical position as either material rationalist or rational materialist (with a healthy does of other ideas thrown…
Yes, you are probably right, although I need to check on exactly how Muslims use the word. They certainly use it as a noun ("He/she is a revert." "Reverts are easily conned by fundamentalist preachers", etc.) and whilst I have…
Strong atheist. Militant secularist. Agnostic in as much as I know epistemologically it is impossible for me to prove anything beyond reasonable doubt except for my own existence.

I have been running a long discussion there about being "Proud to be Atheist" as we all should be,
seeing that we hold the intellectual high ground over the nonsense of the irrational, superstitious god believers.
