Homosexuality

I've got a good debate going on my blog, www.createcognitivedissonance.wordpress.com, regarding Homosexuality and Prop 8. I've had a New Church minister attempt to defend his position on homosexuality, and the comment lines have been full of a very lively back & forth. Check it out!

Calling All Bloggers!

If anyone is interested in doing a guest post on my blog, www.createcognitivedissonance.wordpress.com - please contact me. I've got a great set of debates going on my site, and will also have several religious folks posting their views. The hope is that by inviting participation by all types, the debate will cover a great deal of philosophical ground. Maybe some minds will be changed, if only in small ways. I think the defense of Reason within the competitive marketplace of ideas is essential.… Continue

If you've read this book, I'd sure love to have any of you visit my blog to read the latest guest post by Neil Shenvi. Neil received his PhD from Berkeley and is now at Yale University doing research & teaching Theoretical Physical Chemistry.

Death of a family member

Posted by Larry Taylor on May 20, 2013 at 8:15pm 4 Comments

OK. I am venting. My mother died two weeks ago. She was a “god fearing christian.” Before her death she refused all medical treatment. She wanted to be left alone. She even refused to speak with my brother who is a methodist minister. He is a pip, let me tell you! I suspect she did not believe, but a woman born in her time could not and did not state her actual beliefs. This is the opening salvo to all christians; FUCK YOU! I had so many people come and tell…

Unbelievable!!!!!!!!

This probably should not have shocked me as much as it did (especially since I am in Texas). I actually thought my coworkers were playing a joke on me because they know I am an atheist. Sadly, this was no joke. This actually happened.

What do you think of this,

 

Nathan Young,

 

No Jason Torpy it is you that should be banned for promoting atheism, a belief that has no foundation in reality and zero proof behind it.  The letter was a mockery of your atheist beliefs.  I request to the board here that they remove Jason for his unverifiable beliefs in atheism for which he has no proof other than his arrogance.  The letter was a mockery of atheism.  Atheism is stupid and it should be mocked and it…

Anti-atheist post from an Orthdox Mormon

What do you think of this Facebook comment?

 

 

Nathan Young to Jason Torpy,

 

for once you and I can agree on something.  We should disrespect beliefs that are untenable such as the belief that there is no God.  Indeed for me to respect you Jason, I cannot respect your belief in non-belief in atheism.  Your atheism comes across as arrogrance, smugness, and self righteous.  Indeed after reading "An Open Letter to My Religious Friends" I penned one…
