Many times, whether you want to believe someone or not is a reflection of how they come off sounding. Richard Dawkins, for example, may well be...
People get on better when they have similar beliefs. I've not seen any evidence that the nature of those beliefs makes a difference to that....
Righteous vs self-righteous, innit. The problem is that you won't find a Christian who'll just say "being a jerk is okay if it's in a good cause...
That more or less covers it. The significant difference (size not really satisfying my definition of "significant") as I see it is that cults...
Why can't you say it? It's not like the use of veiled references and innuendo is "keeping the peace" particularly, is it.
You know this works both ways, right? In another thread you have as much as told someone that their interpretation of a passage is wrong (i.e....
And of course, practically speaking, intelligence is not merely a single marks-out-of-ten-type scale. One can be incredibly intelligent in one...
Statistically speaking I probably should, but I've met too many stupendously dumb atheists to be that judgmental. Someone who admits they don't...
Very little of the Bible is supposed to be firsthand accounts of events. I doubt that will be any more satisfying for you as an atheist, but that...
Oh, and incidentally, I doubt most psychopaths make front page news any more. You don't have to be a multiple murderer to be a psychopath, and...

Is this the new big thing among Christians, to argue that the Bible is true because it's so popular? I ask because I think this is the third...
Can I ask how you arrived at this interpretation? It would be more concurrent with the message of the Bible generally, but I do not see how you...
That's absolute nonsense and I hope for the sake of your IQ that you know that.
In theory, God. In practice, any individual with the audacity to say that they know what God thinks. This set unfortunately tends to include a...
Cheers for answering. I'm a little unsure as to how we know we're in "the last days". I know people have been saying that we are for a while now...
I don't find dicks that attractive. I find the men they're attached to attractive. It's obvious when you think about it; when a guy is...
That's a really confusing definition of it, tbh. I think humans are too intrinsically aware of mortality, cessation, being and not being, that...
I think there are arguments against hedonism, but those aren't good ones., especially the second one.
Sorry, I wasn't accusing you of doing it. It's common enough though.
