101. Add another flea to the list...

Comment #132985 by Verylee on February 25, 2008 at 1:43 pm

Comment #132973 by wyattroberts

Why do you think people who believe in God (as I do) have a "need for a supernatural crutch?"

To explain away the "as yet" unexplainable to those who challenge, rather than to admit that "the jury is out".

wyattroberts: what atheists are supposed to be about -- examining the evidence?

Atheists are about NOT having a belief in a god or gods...I am sure there are many atheists who do not look for evidence at each and every turn, but live their lives to the full each and every day without the need for a supernatural crutch.

I think it is very generous of RD net to provide links to the online bookstores for the fleas...do the theist websites reciprocate in the "spirit" of mutual (mis)understanding I wonder?

intelligent resource for anyone concerned about the increasingly strident and aggressive new attacks on religious belief

All I can deduce from this (and by the flea title) is $trike whil$t the iron i$ hot. Don't forget to buy more than one copy $o that you can read and give away.

And what about the evidence that is so plain for all to see except those who are blind to the gory of god?

An atheist is someone who doesn't believe in God/s - a fundamental atheist is someone who has fun wid da mental concepts.

Comment 46 by gcujimmy: For what it's worth, I know the feeling! This is the first and only forum I have ever joined and I spent many weeks/months perusing it before I joined and then again before I posted....and I am sure we are not alone! But I am sure you realised as I did that there isn't an overt intellectual elitism displayed here...everyone on this site just comes across as just being themselves....honestly. Maybe a fear of feeling intellectually inadequate may delay or put some people off from contributing initially (like it did me)...but to be honest I think the wit and wisdom found here on the forums more than compensates for any foolish statements I might make! We're all here to learn.

Ah, but he did try atheism a few times, but found its philosophy and tenets wanting.

Comment #130792 by epeeist...Stay cool, stay calm and don't rise to the bait.

Thank you epeeist...as one of the newer people on the site I was reading the unfolding drama with interest, I was beginning to feel an undercurrent of spite and manipulation in Robertson's comments...And you are right, it was making me angry haha!! Very manipulative, satanic perhaps?
I kinda got the feeling of someone who has played Pascals' wager, and then realised late in life that they may have wasted their life, careers everything on a pipe dream and is now bitter and twisted.

Child abuse. Those kids were in thrall to their parents/guardians. All the kids wanted to do is please them and survive another day, they know no better. Selfish, self-righteous, self-serving, sick SOBs.

Comment #126951 by Verylee on February 14, 2008 at 2:47 pm

"Shrill"? "Ranting"? "Antagonistic"? "Elitist"?...and now it's "Splitting our sides with laughter"!...What's the next put down?..."Having too much desire for evidence based reasoning"? Faith...Belief without evidence that's all you need to get by in todays world.

Wherever there is poverty and ignorance and before anyone can say "Begone Satan", there you will find the church...praying on (sic) and cultivating their misfortunes.

128. Inventor Doesn't Dare Say 'Perpetual Motion Machine'

Comment #124044 by Verylee on February 8, 2008 at 8:05 am

He was trying to create a doobie rolling machine, but by accident broke the second law of thermodynamics

Now there's a thought! Maybe the machine is harnessing Psi quantum energy fields from Deepak's eternal youth seminars and transmogrifying all that hot air into a microwave cooker!

129. Sharia law in UK is 'unavoidable'

Comment #123646 by Verylee on February 7, 2008 at 12:39 pm

The ABoC has definitely stirred up a hornets nest...no matter what he may decide to say tomorrow! there are over 6,800 comments submitted to the BBC website alone (1750 posted) (Edit: and rising). Many other papers are also running the story with readers comments as well, most of them in the same vein as the posts here...It (sharia) does not affect me and it won't affect me, but a lot of non church going C of E folk are getting pissed off with so much political and religious appeasement even it it never touches their lives personally.

130. Sharia law in UK is 'unavoidable'

Comment #123597 by Verylee on February 7, 2008 at 11:37 am

A cunning plan?...Maybe it's an (dis) ingenious method to get the moderate moslems to start jumping up and down if they feel that sharia may be coming their way after all they have done to get away from it?

131. Sharia law in UK is 'unavoidable'

Comment #123579 by Verylee on February 7, 2008 at 11:15 am

It also reinforces how confused religion is and how even the religious leaders have lost the plot and do not know how to address all their various mythologies coherently...and on top of all that they have to deal with those pesky Atheists.

135. Blasphemy

Comment #122480 by Verylee on February 5, 2008 at 10:27 am

The conviction and pending execution of an Afghani student, Sayed Parwiz Kambakhsh, for blasphemy is an appalling circumstance, but it offers an opportunity that we should all seize
....I agree. However the world's media, everyone must remain vigilant as the next victim may not get the exposure as him and subsequently be quietly disposed of in order to sustain this religion of "peace" (for "peace", read fear).

138. Are Darwin's Theories Fact or Faith Issues?

Comment #122312 by Verylee on February 5, 2008 at 7:15 am

Comment #122305 by home8896
Hear hear! That's why I posted above, that when Creationist ("scientists") wilfully try to deceive people, they should be ridiculed...in such a way as to point out their dishonesty to the audience....granted not everyone knows the "scientific method", but a scientist in a debate should know or be damned forever.

140. Are Darwin's Theories Fact or Faith Issues?

Comment #122230 by Verylee on February 5, 2008 at 12:41 am

Next time a creationist mentions that "Evolution is just a theory".....Maybe the retort should be something along the lines of, "Are you implying that the listeners are all so stupid that they do not know the definition of a scientific theory? Like for example "Eintein's General Theory of Relativity", is just a theory?"...."How arrogant and deceitful of you, I am sure that the audience are delighted to know that you think that they are all morons!"

Strangely enough that has 8 reviews all giving it 5 stars
..I took a look at the blog earlier today and VD was asking his posters to give him good reviews!!
...If I was an Anti Theist author I am sure it would be posted as "I was pleading with my moronic sycophants to give me a 5 star rating!!"...or am I being unfair?

originally a long post...but lost the plot in my anger, went for a pee came back and all I can say is "Sick Fucks", and that includes all those pseudointellectuals who like to "debate" religion as if it has something to offer mankind today.

145. Are Darwin's Theories Fact or Faith Issues?

Comment #120686 by Verylee on February 2, 2008 at 10:18 am

Aren't Newton's "Theory of Universal gravitation" superceded by Einstein's "Theory of Relativity" (Equivalence) just theories as well? Who is he trying to fool? He's just preaching to the choir. All of these "Theories" have been found to stand up to the rigours of scientific testing and examination time after time and still these disrespectful scientists(?) will not accept it. If they were doctors, they would be struck off. I feel sorry for the children having to grow up in indoctrinated ignorance.

Comment #120115 by Verylee on February 1, 2008 at 9:20 am

Just for the record what exactly is a "passionate anti-Darwinian" as he describes himself?

Nature maybe "red in tooth and claw", but Homo sapiens (brain/consciousness) has "evolved" beyond that (happy with that word?) and now should be able to deal with more complex societies without having to resort to instinct.
"At the same time as I support Darwinism as a scientist, I am a passionate anti-Darwinian when it comes to politics and how we should conduct our human affairs." Dawkins
