Anonymous asked: Admittedly, I haven't read your whole blog (it would take a while), but it seems to me that basically all these objectors come from a Christian viewpoint. Why is that? Is it because all other religions are clearly ignorant and don't understand the world properly? Are they not trying hard enough? Or, perhaps, Christians are just intolerant, and all they care about is jamming their agenda...
Hey
Just stopping in real quick to say hey to everyone, I’m still out here but have been pretty actively avoiding getting on the computer. Just enjoy my vacation time but I will be back on again a lot starting next week.
I had a strange dream last night. I was in Muslim Heaven, there was a guy with a name tag that said, Hello my name is Allah. He was handing out crystal raisins out of a Sun...
Anonymous asked: To keep my story brief I'll say that I am a young black man who grew up in the wrong part of town. I was raised with no faith and my life choices, which included gang activities, could be understated as illegal and selfish. After reading part of a book required for school, I decided to do a bit of research. I was very attracted to Buddhism, but years later, after much research I decided to...

Hello, how are you? I was wondering, in this above post you basically said all believers are ignorant. Now do you think they are ignorant because they don't agree with you, or because you know all believers personally and you know what each of them know? My point really is, why do you call them(including...

hudizzle asked: Hi!
I saw that question someone you answered about atheists who might be violent or "assholes" about beliefs, and the bit about Columbine stuck out at me, since this came up in discussion before.
Here's an article, published in 1999 (With some comment by Michael Shermer), about the girl who was supposedly asked if she believed in god, then shot for saying yes:

Anonymous asked: Don't you get tired of repeating the same crap, day in and day out to people who have an uncanny knack of never getting the point? Anyone that quotes bible verse to an atheist has to be a retard right?

Anonymous asked: How do you account for atheists that are assholes or violent about their beliefs? The people such as the Columbine students who killed others when they answered yes to "do you believe in God?" Or the atheists that immediately judge someone of any faith and assume that being a Christian means not supporting gay marriage or being Muslim means being violent?

Holidays
Just wanted to post up a quick note that I am not going to be on as much during the next week and a half. I’ll be off work until after New Years so I won’t be tethered to a computer all day long. I will still be one some but just not nearly as often or for as long. I have a few posts I definitely want to get to today including one I hope will be very important addressing the whole...

Remember...
Frustrated mini rant for a moment…
Remember people when religious people do horrible things it’s not because of their religion, it’s because of their culture. When a culture of people allow horrible things and do terrible things it’s not because of the culture it’s because of a few extremists. When these extremists do terrible and horrible things and say it’s...

Tax Season Blessings →
I really wasn’t aware that there were such tax loopholes for clergy. I guess I never looked into it much because I keep my taxes pretty basic and don’t seek out every spare cent I can. If you haven’t read PZ Myers blog before you need to check it out. He posts lots of great information and is a lot of fun to read.
Soon, it will be the end of the year. Soon, all those various...

heysawbones-deactivated20120206 asked: For the record - evangelism really isn't that bad in most parts of the South. People like to exaggerate because playing elitist victim is cool beans.
There is *one* very serious problem, though. You can't run for public office as an atheist in Texas. I keep wondering how that's even legal. Do you know anything about that?

I'm Christian, but believe in evolution. Yes, I do believe there is a god, but I'm not shutting myself to all the other theories.

shiggetysherlock-deactivated201 asked: Alright, so I used to ask my fellow fundies, "Why would God create humans in the first place if he all-knowingly knew that he would have to sacrifice his one and only Son to save them, and even after that little debacle he knew he'd have to banish half of them to Hell during the Apocalypse? Why bother?"

Anonymous asked: What is your knowledge on Apatheism? I don't know what to catagorize my self as, and honestly i don't really care. I just feel like an apatheist sometimes, then other times i just wonder if there really is a higher power. I do not believe in god however.
shesrevived-deactivated20110108 asked: With all respect, how can you say you're open minded when you're so hateful of religion? Religion doesn't necessarily change people. imagine if everyone was against religion and had so much hate, the world would literally implode on itself. Some of the most beautiful, open-minded, selfless people I know are part of an organized religion, and haven't lost their head because of...
