1. Is there an Artificial God?

This and many other of Douglas Adams' works can be found in "The Salmon of Doubt" I think this bit is onw of th best explanations of why humans made up god in the way that they did.

I am going to have that quote read at my funeral as well. Excellent preface.

3. World's most prominent atheist takes on the Biblical God (and other topics)

What arrogant, ignorant F**KS.

I like how they say atheists have to prove there is no god because they believe.

4. God Exists. A Formula Proves it.

Suppose God (the unique Supreme Being) exists.
Then there can only be one God, so God^2 must be imaginary.
But nothing real can have an imaginary square.
Therefore: God = r^(ei (2k+1)/4 Pi), where r is nonzero and k is an integer.

5. Republican candidates range from ignorant to dishonest

I would suspect that at least 1 or 2 of those that said they do not believe in evolution actually do but are saying they don't for political reasons.

6. Does Richard Dawkins exist?

This is much funnier if you just pretend it is a friendly parody.

7. Some stars and planets in scale

I have had this up on my Myspace page for a while. Awesome in the true sense of the word. However, the version that has the theme from 2001 playing is much better. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=atkTncQ32C8&eurl=

LOL M31, "Hot Uranus"

8. The New Atheists

On god and bullets….

My grandfather was a great hunter. Once he killed two deer with one bullet. After his death, I was given the bullet as a keepsake, and I carried it in my breast pocket, next to my heart. I carried it for years.
One day, while walking down the street, a crazed religious fanatic, overcome by a fit of zealous fervor, lost control of herself and flung her bible out the window, striking me in the chest.
If it hadn't have been for that bullet in my pocket, that bible would have went straight through my heart.

I like the idea of an atheist pride parade.

"We're here! We don't believe in a supernatural deity! Get used to it!"

He-man Daunted World said
"We can see subtle (or not so subtle) evidence of what our friends feel about us. What's the equivalent evidence that shows how god feels about us?"

The equivalent evidence that shows how god feels about us is everywhere. Hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes, tsunamis, disease, etc. Almost every place in the universe would kill a human instantly. So god clearly hates us and wants us dead.

It may take some small degree of faith in the way a friend feels, and we know many people are often wrong at judging how other people feel. However we have good evidence that our friends exist.

Anyway, I liked the discussion but I felt the audience was a little hostile. And I agree with Sri's point about people who say they used to be atheists and claim to have converted because of the "evidence".
