We are talking past each other again. You suggested my suggestions for paintings were mere fantasy and I was basically saying so what? are you suggest...

:smile: Very magnanimous of you. To me, when they type their depressing viewpoint, they add to the suffering they claim they wish to prevent/terminate...

I agree and think that what you describe above must be quite possible. I find it much more plausible than god or even g*d. It's the basis of the chaos...

There are more gaps in our knowledge than there are bits filled in. Newtons I seem to have been only like a boy playing on the sea-shore, and divertin...

Best to do that then or we might let the horrible antinatalists in.

I find it interesting that information is suggested as being fundamental. In Computing, information is a composite of the labels data and meaning. Raw...

I think there is a point in the emergence of consciousness where a mind is needed to create a cream cake. cream cakes and cars or guns cant evolve the...

This sounds like a very familiar road for you and I EugeneW. You don't match or come close to any theist I know, you know I remain unconvinced of your...

These are such lowbrow words Gregory A, you shame yourself. Yeah, you just showed that with your comment on all Australians More words from the twiste...

I could have went much further, for example, the artist could include different versions of such a painting and have the 10 ethnic cleansers painted a...

Is fantasy currently under theistic ownership? Theists and atheists can both enjoy an 'artist's impression' of a new, perhaps even Earthlike planet, d...

Panpsychism does not propose that quarks are in themselves conscious or neurons are conscious but that the 'ingredients' of consciousness exist natura...

I think art as a depiction of beauty ignores art's ability to depict or even celebrate evil and how art has been used by religion to depict the conseq...

Do you think something like 'that's just who I am and who I choose to be and I am perfectly happy with the advantages of being a more 'solitary' perso...

Sounds like a good approach to me! I was merely typing about my disagreement with your personal opinion, that's all.

I think this is an imbalanced viewpoint as well. 'Boring,' is not a label that should ever be applied objectively to any individual or group. 'Boring,...

Discussing and revealing your condition to others is healthy in my opinion. I don't subscribe to 'misery loves company,' and subscribe more to 'a prob...

Here below is an extract from Wikipedia regarding a person who could possibly help you understand how confused you are when you type things like: "Hom...

So for you, logically, the word "All" is not a 'term of totality,' a simple way of including each and every individual example. If I say I am against ...

The following quotes from The Personal Memoirs of Ulysses S. Grant may be of interest: P77 (the year was 1860): The whig party had ceased to exist bef...

I don't find this convincing but I will take your word for it. This contradicts your claim that you are 100% convinced gods exist. 100% belief is dogm...

Oh for f*** sake! I KNOW! and I think YOU ARE DEAD WRONG!! I fully understand that you claim that atheism is a political viewpoint. It is not, is my r...

I do not hold to this viewpoint. I am a heterosexual male but I don't see homosexuality as some kind of genetic ailment but I would prefer other homos...

yes You believe in god(s) how unscientific! Yeah it is and confirms your theistic dogmatism! Well, let me answer it again for about the 4th time, I am...

Well its not my fault that your points are completely generalist and misguided, in my opinion. I read the words you type and I speak and comprehend En...

You reminded me of an old Toyah song that I used to use as a wake-up call in the morning. I think this was my wake-up call from about the age 22 to 26...

I don't know how you justify the 'jumps' you make from the words I type to the conclusions you arrive at in your head. I said 'He regularly states tha...

:smile:

Well the word has been used in biology, that's the only bit that's true. I think we have gone around and around enough EugeneW. My position has not mo...

I just dont agree. Religion tries to take credit for almost everything science discovers. Apart from complete morons like Ken Ham and his 'answers in ...

In the same way you take the opposite view. A single counter example can be 'an exception to the rule,' it does not necessarily invalidate the rule.

In science, one example is never sufficient evidence.

No he doesn't. He regularly states that he cannot disprove god exists, he states a confidence level of 99.9%, as do I. 'God does not exist and that is...

Dogma is described as a principle or set of principles laid down by an authority as incontrovertibly true. I think most scientists are not happy with ...

I will leave it up to any American readers of your above typings to agree or disagree with you as they are probably the best suited to the task. Every...

Ok!

You do get inebriated with your own verbosity Joe!

Yeah, I know, I agree but this fact just points to the fact that many humans have mental problems. We all know this.

I don't associate words like 'doctrine' and 'dogma' with science/biology, you do. For me, Science is a methodology used to pursue knowledge. All I can...

Yeah, I have heard all those black and Hispanic people living in the American ghettos are having a fab time and 'have everything they need.' Do you vi...

Meethinks the old guy doth protest too much.....poor ol Joe....we can make space for you if you want to join us...you don't have to play hard to get.....

Maybe he was just a nutter or a patsy as he claimed. Jack Ruby saved everyone the bother so what does it matter?

I don't hear scientists call any science book 'holy,' they prove this by constantly challenging and reviewing their contents. If science acted as reli...

I see no difference between the actions, discoveries and utility of science and the actions, discovery and utility of the spear. Natural progression i...

You suggested science and nature are seen by scientists as equivalent to god(s) I disagree, as scientists do not apply the Omnis to science or nature ...

It was you who associated the word 'worship' with atheists and scientists, not me. Well, it's a legitimate way of dealing with his haters if you ask m...

I don't really care about getting his name structure correct in your eyes. The 'syndrome' of which you type is a conflated invention from your own mus...

And again, in what ways have you witnessed this 'worship,' displayed? Have you simply heard individuals talking about what you have typed above or do ...

:rofl: Another pearl of knowledge from Gregory A which again, is way off the mark. and your point is....... Yeah, I am sure Richard Dawkins read about...

So what examples of 'worship' do you witness atheists participating in? Do they pray to nature, do they build places of worship to nature? Do groups o...
