53. PZ Myers - Science and Atheism in the Blogosphere

Comment #197144 by robotaholic on June 21, 2008 at 8:04 am

when I say FLAME the religious I mean “The God of the Old Testament is arguably the most unpleasant character in all fiction: jealous and proud of it; a petty, unjust, unforgiving control-freak; a vindictive, bloodthirsty ethnic cleanser; a misogynistic, homophobic, racist, infanticidal, genocidal, filicidal, pestilential, megalomaniacal, sadomasochistic, capriciously malevolent bully.”

54. PZ Myers - Science and Atheism in the Blogosphere

Comment #197122 by robotaholic on June 21, 2008 at 6:56 am

cool - I love Point of Inquiry too - I listen to it every week - and of course PZ - I want to subscribe to both their magazines lol -

One Point of Inquiry show made me mad tho - it was the one where Chris Hedges talked about his new book "I Don't Believe in Atheists"- First he came out with a pretty good book criticizing religion and then his second book (just for the sake of controversy IMO) criticized alot of the "new atheists"-

I don't know about you, but my favorite writers, bloggers,etc are the ones that totally FLAME religion harshly - those weak, mild, moderate atheist are bla to me. I like how PZ says "I'm pushing at the edges- speaking out for people who havn't really had a voice in America for a long time" he "sqwaks loudly" lol - and he really has made me appreciate cephalopods lol

Comment #196744 by robotaholic on June 20, 2008 at 11:58 am

why do official license plates get to have any special designs on them at all anyway? - I mean your driver's license doesn't have different styles to chose from - the whole thing is stupid stupid stupid - retarded - this is such a waste of time and money -

License Plates should be white with black characters and that's all- based completely on utility

Comment #194010 by robotaholic on June 16, 2008 at 9:25 am

This is weird, The Pope is against a mythical misrepresentation of Jesus Christ and the Church but in doing so is preferring the Catholic version of the myth-

I think Dan Brown should do a vampire pope movie...

I'm sure, this looks hilarious and I no doubt will be seeing it- but come on...it's not like it's trying to prostyletize for atheism - it's just a comedy and mabye it will cause a commotion or mabye it wont - regardless I love Maher's blatant disrespect for religion so much - it's awesome to hear

69. Logical Proof of the Existence of a Divine Creator, Why Atheism is Not Logically Sound

Comment #190594 by robotaholic on June 9, 2008 at 9:27 am

That's a basic philosophical case. There are also more hard physical reasons that point to the Bible's Divinity. The Bible states in Genesis and in Jeremiah that the stars of the heaven cannot be counted. Scientists believed that the number of stars were only 1,100, those which could readily be seen. The Bible was way ahead of the time it was given and showed knowledge of that which could not have been known or seen by man.

72. Couple charged in Norway over genital mutilation of daughters

Comment #190236 by robotaholic on June 8, 2008 at 3:24 pm

the fact that they actually cut off the genitals of babies needs to be highlighted - I constantly hear about this and it's not as insane sounding as it used to be/should be - we should stop this in every country - I can't believe that without religion any barbaric practice as this would have ever gotten started -

Man I despise, detest, hate, oppose, am revulsed, am malevolent towards, loathe, dislike, and can't stand religion.

75. John McCain: America a Christian nation, needs Christian president

Comment #190164 by robotaholic on June 8, 2008 at 1:23 pm

hey at least this guy completed one term as senator - the other person running hasn't even done that - they're both equally religious - in fact if you were objective about this you would vote for Mccain because he has more experience in general - in the senate, in the wartime -I wish this website moderator would be equally objective-

10 bux says that the tide changes and obama doesn't even try to get our troops out of iraq anytime soon - he comes off to me like a lot of hot air -

as far as gay marriage - obama and mccain are equally against it - so therefore I am not voting for either one!- I'm not a 2nd rate citizen, I don't deserve to be treated as seperate but equal - i feel like when it comes to marriage I should be just as entitled to that WORD as anyone else

if you think about it objectively, you sort of have to treat those 'healing' stories in a similar way to alien abduction stories-

oh why can't this world be logical, objective, and honest with itself?

78. Reality wins in Texas!

Comment #189897 by robotaholic on June 7, 2008 at 1:38 pm

It's a shame that reality even has to do BATTLE! - it's insane that the religious think there is a massive conspiracy headed by SATAN to convince ppl of evolution - when I said insane - I mean INSANE - who would have thought that reality needed defending (that's a quote from Point of Inquiry-which I love) anyway I am happy about this - because Texas has so many teachers and school children and it's close to Oklahoma where I live-

79. The day of judgment

Comment #189667 by robotaholic on June 6, 2008 at 11:49 pm

perhaps we glimpse here something in our nature, something of our deeply held notions of time, and our own insignificance against the intimidating vastness of eternity, or the age of the universe - on the human scale there is little difference. We have need of a plot, a narrative to shore up our irrelevance in the flow of things.

Comment #189148 by robotaholic on June 5, 2008 at 2:34 pm

in response to Pathfinder - science is science and religion is CRAP-

Quite frankly, as an atheist I'm amazed at a number of your fellow christians.

If teachers have the right to teach what they believe is "right", without evidence, just based on instinct and conviction ( "the best lack all conviction, the worst are full of passionate intensity" - WB Yeats ) then by the same logic it is perfectly acceptable to aver women, ethnic minorities, homosexuals and people who work on the Sabbath (see Exodus) should be punished and even killed. It's this inconsistency which really gets me.

82. Character Attacks: How to Properly Apply the Ad Hominem

Comment #187806 by robotaholic on June 2, 2008 at 5:51 pm

so a non ad hominem attack like "you're not as experienced as I am to be president" or "at least I've completed ONE term as Senator" would carry more wight than an ad hominem attack such as "I personally don't like you even though you may be a good leader and be able to get things done"- at least I voted logically

Comment #186738 by robotaholic on May 31, 2008 at 8:34 am

Sharon Stone doesn't really believe that stuff...- I think it was mostly failed humor/mistake:

It was only after reviewing the video in her home toward the end of the interview that it seemed to dawn on Ms. Stone why her comments had caused such an uproar. “I had absolutely no intention of saying that, which I did say,” she said, “and now, looking at it on the tape, I look like a complete ding-dong.”

hey it's not so bad in your state, in our state we had a penis-pump judge - he would pump away during court trials and ppl could hear the pump-pump-pump sound and only sickenly look at each other ??? - but yeah about this mess with the 10 commandments- doesn't it take just one judge to say it's unconstitutional and then if it's not overturned - this bill is out

where does anybody get the idea that this is racism? - they use the word MUSLIM not arabs - so it's not racism - in fact it's retarded to have a religious school in the first place - school should just teach the same thing for anyone or at least they should be equal and fair to all kids

92. Sun's properties not 'fine-tuned' for life

Comment #184170 by robotaholic on May 23, 2008 at 8:23 pm

I remember when I was much younger sitting in church (the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses) and hearing ppl say "if the earth were a tiny bit closer or if it were any farther away, life would not be possible - so therefore it's obvious god put it exactly in the right spot for life-

I used to think - mountains are miles closer to the sun and valleys are much farther from the sun as well as the fact that the orbit of the earth around the sun is not perfectly round- so there are variations in the earth's proximity to the sun - but my father, mother, friends - noone would listen to me -

now I am just shocked that there could be any people as scientifically illiterate (deliberately!) as jehovah's witnesses-

if any of you people are ex-jw's - you have my congrats!

99. Richard Dawkins Responds to Rabbi Shmuley Boteach

Comment #181889 by robotaholic on May 18, 2008 at 3:38 pm

I watched the hour long debate between Christopher Hitchens and Boteach and all Boteach sounded like to me was an arguing jewish dude- he just wanted to talk about jewish stuff constantly instead of the fact of the matter of the existence of a god/gods...He did get very loud and almost screamed several times, he openly slandered Christopher Hitchens and then claimed character assasination when he was the one doing all the name calling and mischaracterizing. He really got on my nerves and would just spew tons of white noise which was composed of nonsubstantiated claims about how god is like this and like that - needless to say I got a headache after hearing him and before it was over my head was killing me. He's a little worm- needs to be marginalized and ignored if you ask me. Also of course, he's not very reputible if you read Dawkin's link. I have wasted too many words on him already-

Clearmind - we should cut a check to your large intestine since it's the only thing doing any work around here.
