Tom Pandelaere replied to Sol Gartner's discussion 'Atheist Guilt' in the group ORIGINS: UNIVERSE, LIFE, HUMANKIND, AND DARWIN
"Oh, I don't know... In Northern Europe, we don't particularly care about religious sensibilities, and I want to keep it that way, but there is always the matter of 'good citizenship', harking back to the Enlightenment and the…"
Tom Pandelaere replied to William Arnold's discussion People see "not believing" as cool?
"Depends upon where you live, I suppose. I don't know how religious Australia is nowadays; it never struck me as a particularly devout country.
You could certainly not be 'cool' here on the other side of the world simply by being an…"
Tom Pandelaere replied to Grace Fitzpatrick's discussion How do you explain evolution to a theist?
"Well, many people who are not fanatically religious nevertheless adhere to 'somethingism', a term coined by the prominent Belgian philosopher Etienne Vermeersch. Whilst they accept that evolution and modern cosmology are scientific facts,…"

Tom Pandelaere replied to Skycomet the Fallen Angel's discussion "Why No Woman Should Ever Be Christian"
"Well, I don't know much about oriental philosophies, except that Buddhism idealises the concept of 'not expecting anything', since desire is the root of all evil. It's not for me; I need the phantom of something to live up to, or…"

"Oh, never mind. Society is not that interesting.

John Camilli commented on Tom Pandelaere's blog post A concise pleading for death
"Here here!
I say sacrifice all necessary life for progress. Let that be our greatest good, instead of the preservation of life. Then at least we might get to some type of existence that we can tolerate spending a lifetime in."

"I rented a recent Werner Herzog movie called My Son, My Son, What Have Ye Done. Which in itself was a pretty great movie. In the extras there was a short film called Plastic Bag, which he narrates. An incredibly surprising and creative story about a…"

A concise pleading for death
There is simply not enough death in this world. Everywhere I look, I behold:- resuscitation classes- pension schemes- fertility clinics- vaccines- charities combating famineI ask you now: how is the overpopulation, the depletion of our resources, the mass pollution of our globe going to be dealt with if everyone simply keeps defending life?Forsooth, anti-life is a term of which to be proud; for we, the rational, should at all times strive to uphold the ideal of an ecosystem void of that most…See More
Tom Pandelaere replied to Skycomet the Fallen Angel's discussion "Why No Woman Should Ever Be Christian"
"'We are 'fighting'? I thought we were having a discussion.'
I tend to regard every discussion as a fight, because I always think the worst of everyone.
If you do not regard women as inferior, why does it feel artificial to…"
Tom Pandelaere replied to Skycomet the Fallen Angel's discussion "Why No Woman Should Ever Be Christian"
"I have joined this conversation because I felt engaged by the topic. Treating women as equals is what I want to do. On a rational plane, this is logic itself. There is, however, a lurking remnant from childhood (which I would rather not go into)…"
Tom Pandelaere replied to Sandy's discussion Angela Merkel says Germany doesn't have too much Islam, but too little Christianity in the group Atheist News
"Angela Merkel was raised in the officially atheist German Democratic Republic. She was always a dissident, opposing the communist oppression of liberty and free speech. After the fall of the Berlin Wall, she engaged in the Christian Democratic…"
Tom Pandelaere replied to Skycomet the Fallen Angel's discussion "Why No Woman Should Ever Be Christian"
"To be clear: I certainly do not hope you expect me to defend men. I never chose to be one and never enjoyed being one. Solely biology makes me, if needs must, identify with this caste.
Asking a present-day Western man to feel guilt or at least…"

Well, well, well.
I have been gloating more than anything of late, ensconced as I am in this moribund zombie country of mine.
The evolution for the good began, of course, this summer when churchies were forced to face the fact that they are people. Dear, dear, raping kiddies for Jesus, eh? Yes, I know, he said something of the sort...

THE SORROWS OF THE BLIND
Pity the sorrows of the poor blind,
For they can but little comfort find;
As they walk along the street,
They know not where to put their feet.
They are deprived of that earthly joy
Of seeing either man, woman, or boy;
Sad and lonely through the world they go,
Not knowing a friend from a foe:
Nor the difference betwixt day and night,
For the want of their eyesight;
The blind… Continue

Ruth Anthony-Gardner said… - Greetings, Tom! I notice you haven't been active at Atheist Nexus since Dec. <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.

TNT666 said… - Bonjour :)
Funny how reading some of your posts reminds me of the way I feel towards men (which is pretty rare among non dykes! LOL). It also has prevented me from having lasting relationships, and I find it is very hard to surmount. When I inventory the men who've been my friends throughout the years, it's amazing how many were either gay or mysogynists. Some days it baffles me, but somedays my step father's character makes it clear as can be. It's why I've found great satisfaction with Caribbean men, they value the feminine form but do not glamorise/adulate romantic love. As an Acadian-Quebecer, Belgium has always been very high on my list of countries to visit. Somehow I've always managed to miss it. Look forward to future conversations.
