151. Student's 'Be Happy, Not Gay' t-shirt ok

Comment #169007 by robotaholic on April 25, 2008 at 2:07 pm

he should NOT be allowed to wear it under any circumstances...instead he should be forcfully sodomized

just kidding, it really depends on what color it is and what else he's wearing ya know- besides most kids in school can't read anyway right? - oh and also you know as well as I do that the most homophobic ppl usually have several priest fantasies- he was probably coached to wear it by his priest (if you know what I mean lol)

152. Interview with Dan Dennett

Comment #168270 by robotaholic on April 24, 2008 at 8:56 pm

i like the quote "the mind is what the brain does" - incidentally right now - Miscavage's own daughters are defecting from the church of scientology- it's on nightline-
mabye it's too soon to tell but it sounds like the whole thing is impoloding (hopefully) and mabye anonymous is having something to do with it- what do you think?

Edit - it was his niece not daughter- oh well

153. Investigating Atheism

Comment #168152 by robotaholic on April 24, 2008 at 3:41 pm

I wish a Denial of Service attack on that website

154. Is religion a threat to rationality and science?

Comment #168147 by robotaholic on April 24, 2008 at 3:17 pm

what I don't get about Pascal's stupid wager is how do you make yourself believe anything? Either you pretty well believe it or not right?

Like Dawkins says ...to paraphrase "why is believing so important?"

Why not just be a good person, treat other's kindly, and look cute and be cute! :)

and that phrase

Perhaps he might care to re-read the book of Job.
made me upset slightly -
God asks Job where he was when He laid the foundations of the Earth?
well the earth isn't on any foundation, it's floating in dark outerspace, and Where was Lord Winston (or god for that matter)when humans were evolving for the last 200,000 yrs from our common ancestor with other great apes? -(you can see Winston here lol: http://www.robertwinston.org/)

I am pissed that he doubted Dennett's scholarship. Dennett attended Phillips Exeter Academy, and received his B.A. in philosophy from Harvard University in 1963, where he was a student of W.V. Quine. In 1965, he received his D.Phil. in philosophy from Oxford.

I have seen what Dennett can do regarding shredding an opponent in text. He's pretty vicious when he wants to be.

155. Resentment Over Darwin Evolves Into a Documentary

Comment #165508 by robotaholic on April 21, 2008 at 2:33 pm

Lucas, I couldn't agree more.

156. Open Letter to a victim of Ben Stein's lying propaganda

Comment #165018 by robotaholic on April 20, 2008 at 11:45 pm

what really is so hard about blaming Hitler for what Hitler did? I mean really...

Does anyone doubt he was mad?

157. A Conversation with Expelled's Associate Producer Mark Mathis

Comment #165013 by robotaholic on April 20, 2008 at 11:38 pm

wow this was a great argument- Mark Mathis is icky

158. Open Letter to a victim of Ben Stein's lying propaganda

Comment #164955 by robotaholic on April 20, 2008 at 10:15 pm

what is your problem theonlything2fear?- first you say:

typical atheistic evolutionary temper tantrums and name calling are contained in your form of dialogue.
and then you say proceed to do just that stating:
A shameful attempt at explaining away your own words,
"lying propaganda"
your imaginary (aliens of higher intelligence)friends


You're a hypocritical jerk.

159. Open Letter to a victim of Ben Stein's lying propaganda

Comment #164945 by robotaholic on April 20, 2008 at 9:57 pm

Evolving animals on this blog, Dawkins sheep, articulate and typically have a rational point to argue, backed up of course by their hyped credentials.


Baa-aa-a-a-a--aa-a-a Ba-a--a--a--a


Intelligent Design and any scientist willing to put the topic on the table of ideas


will you tell me one scientific thing about intelligent design? -

how is saying that something is too complicated to be evolved science? -

even the name "intelligent design" precludes it from being anything a scientist could ...study?..write about...?/- I mean uhhh..

What exactly does an ID person study? huh?

what would a paper be about?- What is the subject?

the scientific community will stop at nothing to gag Intelligent Design

I think the ID community is imploding before your eyes.

The scientific community is gagging ID proponents by preventing their papers from being published?----?-that can't be what you're talking about can it?

I'm afraid I am going to go back to being one of DA-A-aa-Awkin's sheep

160. Gods and earthlings

Comment #164708 by robotaholic on April 20, 2008 at 3:11 pm

I'm joking!

161. Gods and earthlings

Comment #164669 by robotaholic on April 20, 2008 at 1:55 pm

why do you come to this site?
cuz im attracted to Steve Z

162. Gods and earthlings

Comment #164429 by robotaholic on April 20, 2008 at 8:45 am

it's his website, what do you expect? - get your own website-

163. Gods and earthlings

Comment #164427 by robotaholic on April 20, 2008 at 8:42 am

So, again, my point was: what has it to do with science? Why is Dawkins making this his life work -- instead of devoting himself to biological research?


Dawkins can do what he wants.

164. Gods and earthlings

Comment #164420 by robotaholic on April 20, 2008 at 8:35 am

moderationsmuse what kind of research should one do to investigate imaginary invisible beings with magic powers? - it seems like it's not researchable-

Why does a scientist spend all this energy trying persuade people to give up religion?
- because it's a lie and easily disprovable by it's very own tennents
Given that religious belief has been part of human culture since earliest times
so have parasites
Moreover, the few social experiments that attempted to politically irradicate religion turned out to be oppressive in the extreme (Soviets, Maoists).
*sighs* read Dawkins chapter about this - he has a chapter just for you- besides I wouldn't call the Soviet/Mao regime as a bastion of freethought and discourse as Harris would say
And why isn't he making scientific arguments for scientific claims?
read the book - besides it's your job to present the proofs since you are the one making the claims that a being with magic powers exists- don't try to shift the responsibility

165. Gods and earthlings

Comment #164411 by robotaholic on April 20, 2008 at 8:20 am

But God is immaterial
- and you know everything don't you. What evidence do you have that anything that exists is immaterial? - I declare you absolutely do not posess any-

ps (oh yeah Im a hardcore materialist and that whole debate has been going on for thousands of years lol)

166. Gods and earthlings

Comment #164409 by robotaholic on April 20, 2008 at 8:18 am

well if you consider cargo cults and other ppl "prone" to religion/faith - I can see a bunch of ppl who would think aliens with the tech to visit neighboring stars to be gods- So many people are ready to believe ANYTHING - and besides Dawkins didn't say that EVERY HUMAN ON THE FACE OF THE EARTH WILL ABSOLUTELY BELIEVE ALIENS WITH THE TECHNOLOGY TO VISIT NEIGHBORING STARS WILL BE WORSHIPPED AS GODS

So I think he's pretty much right. (as usual) :)

167. Interviews with Richard Dawkins and Michael Shermer

Comment #164263 by robotaholic on April 19, 2008 at 10:30 pm

sounds like my dad Mitchell Gilks- he's closed to everything I talk about because he thinks it's a sinister plot to sneak in atheism somehow - no matter what scientific topic it is - i personally really cannot stand anyone who turns off at the sound of science- and I also think it's a shame and I don't understand that point of view either-

& Richard Dawkins - thanks and keep it up!-- I wish you would come through OKlahoma - plow right through, divide and conquor lol

168. Sex for diploma offer caught on tape

Layla Nasreddin - wow, you are a great person and you made my day too.

170. The Child Preachers

Comment #163733 by robotaholic on April 18, 2008 at 11:05 pm

i think these kids and their parents are full of shit & they need to be deprogrammed

171. Sexpelled: No Intercourse Allowed

Comment #163035 by robotaholic on April 17, 2008 at 9:35 pm

unless you've studdied storkianity for years and years and immersed yourself in storkicism you don't have any RIGHT TO COMMENT ON STORKIANITY

Besides storkianity makes me feel good, in fact, I can't imagine a universe without The Great Stork. People who believe in The Stork live longer and you know it's more than that- I Personally have been touched by the Great Stork and so I know from personal experience that there absolutely is a STORK!

Everytime I see a waterfall, or see a newborn baby, I'm reminded of how gracious the Great Stork is.

172. Teacher Expelled Over Religion

Comment #162008 by robotaholic on April 16, 2008 at 2:01 am

she should lose weight- they fired her because she's fat- atheism is just an excuse

173. Richard Dawkins and Lawrence Krauss

Comment #161701 by robotaholic on April 15, 2008 at 2:12 pm

Artful_Dodger:

I actually think that there are a number of theist debaters from whom Dawkins is cutting and running before any engagement starts.


Are you insane -? - you are retarded- if anything debating with these invisible ppl beleiving fools gives them credit- there is not a debate I wouldn't participate in, there is not a debate in which Dawkins couldn't DESTROY any religious person in - it is utterly insane to think he would "run" away from any debate because he knows he could be proven 'wrong' - you must be insane

hahah- religious arguments- hahahaha hahah- religious arguments- hahahaha hahah- religious arguments- hahahaha hahah- religious arguments- hahahaha hahah- religious arguments- hahahaha hahah- religious arguments- hahahaha hahah- religious arguments- hahahaha hahah- religious arguments- hahahaha hahah- religious arguments- hahahaha hahah- religious arguments- hahahaha

174. Richard Dawkins and Lawrence Krauss

Comment #161132 by robotaholic on April 14, 2008 at 10:08 pm

I like how Dawkins used to be the bad cop until Hitchens came along lol

175. Religious education as a part of literary culture

Comment #161124 by robotaholic on April 14, 2008 at 9:07 pm

Blake I hate Shakespeare - I think he SUCKED and I didn't learn a single thing by reading him. Even the movies suck.

I agree with your bottom line for sure-

176. For sale: 13-year-old virgin

Comment #160962 by robotaholic on April 14, 2008 at 3:35 pm

- I'm going to go care about someone really quick- mabye I'll look down on another culture that I consider barbaric too while I'm at it- :)

177. Religious education as a part of literary culture

Comment #160918 by robotaholic on April 14, 2008 at 2:42 pm

Let me not labour the point. I have probably said enough to convince at least my older readers that an atheistic world view provides no justification for cutting the bible, and other sacred books, out of our education.


Religion and belief in god is a disease. Why not just eradicate it from the source or at least one of it's sources - it's holy texts.

178. Religious education as a part of literary culture

Comment #160908 by robotaholic on April 14, 2008 at 2:35 pm

Spinoza I greatly accept the rebuke (in the words of Dawkins of course) I wish I could erase the memory of every kind of torturous read I've had forced on me about this nonsubject.

Mitchell Gilks I never said we should do away with the literature-
For someone who wants to 'preserve literary history' you surely don't know how to read-

And I stand by what I said, we shouldn't force feed children the bible or religious art, and I personaly don't give it as much respect as quite a few "culturally and literarily diverse" people.

179. Religious education as a part of literary culture

Comment #160736 by robotaholic on April 14, 2008 at 10:35 am

what about people like myself who DON'T think that christian'art' is so great- I don't like seeing fat naked or half naked women- everytime I see the work of some 'great' painter I think oh great another fat naked woman or another jesus - just my two cents

oh and

The Bible - as literature, if nothing else - should be an essential part of every child's experience.


I think it shouldn't. As long as people keep saying "oh it's part of the historical culture...and you must know about the bible and what it says to appreciate the context of alot of our history" then it will be true that you must... We should just drop it like the plague if you ask me.

180. The Art of Creating Controversy Where None Existed

Comment #160058 by robotaholic on April 13, 2008 at 3:22 pm

wow! EvidenceOnly, that was awesome-

- Eventually claim that the scientific theory is extreme left, anti-religion, anti-god, the reason for all misery in the world, supported by liberals, communists, gays, lesbians, the ACLU, an attack to our freedoms, worse than terrorism

You're totally right.

181. The Art of Creating Controversy Where None Existed

Comment #160054 by robotaholic on April 13, 2008 at 3:17 pm

I totally agree Mitchell gilks - My dad tries to talk religion to me and finally one day I told him that it all just boils down to him trying to get me to beleive in invisible people with magic powers and of course talking snakes.-

How CAN anyone fall for that crap?

182. Did pre-big bang universe leave its mark on the sky?

Comment #159611 by robotaholic on April 12, 2008 at 4:02 pm

Well, I'm geekily interested in this because hmm-if you for example remember-after the universe fizzles out to just about nothing after a trillion trillion w/e years - hmm, we can't have absolutely zero degrees kelvin due to violating uncertainty principle (can't know velocity and location both precisely and at absolute zero you would know both)(well WE might not know both obviously lol)so what happens? - mabye I'm bringing something up that is stupid but I've not heard anyone address it pretty much- any ideas?

183. Richard Dawkins and Bill Maher

Comment #159458 by robotaholic on April 12, 2008 at 8:27 am

Richard Dawkins is such a movie star 8-> - I would love to meet him. Now I wanna go to convert's corner and see what's over there.

PS I must say I'm a 6.9999999999 too lol

184. The List: The World's Worst Religious Leaders

Comment #159180 by robotaholic on April 11, 2008 at 2:35 pm

These people don't even sound like humans.

185. Inadequate, private and late apology with grotesquely inadequate excuse

Comment #159171 by robotaholic on April 11, 2008 at 2:31 pm

The House has the power to formally censure or reprimand its members; censure or reprimand requires only a simple majority, but does not remove a member from office.

The Constitution permits the House to expel any member with a two-thirds vote. In the history of the United States, only five members have been expelled from the House; three of them, John Bullock Clark (D-MO), John William Reid (D-MO), and Henry Cornelius Burnett (D-KY), were removed in 1861 for supporting the Confederate States' secession, which led to the Civil War. Michael Myers (D-PA) was expelled for accepting bribes in 1980, and James Traficant (D-OH) was expelled in 2002 following his conviction for corruption.

I think it's highly unlikely she's gonna be removed from office.

This is disgusting: The annual salary of each Representative is currently $165,200. - YEP, thats the truth. That bigoted barbarian makes 165 thousand a year.

-AND WE'RE PAYING HER.

186. 'Expelled' ripped off Harvard's 'Inner Life of the Cell' animation

Comment #159161 by robotaholic on April 11, 2008 at 2:10 pm

I think this story has been a debacle and it's not stopping either. If I beleived in karma, I would say that this is what they get for misrepresenting themselves to the various scientists they interviewed/quoted.

187. The simple falsehood at the heart of Expelled

Comment #158613 by robotaholic on April 10, 2008 at 8:25 pm

Hitler schmitler - who cares- anyone with enough intention to investigate the supposed hitler-atheist connection will be hit head-on by the fact that the truth or falsity of atheism doesn't depend on what some racist barbaric inbread guy thought-

188. Anti-evolution bill clears another hurdle

Comment #157624 by robotaholic on April 9, 2008 at 10:50 am

How to you teach Intelligent Design anyway? I mean, all you can do is highlight some problems that evolution hasn't explained yet... and I say yet because you know science will resolve those also if just given time...

EDIT- also I must say I don't know of any either - they've already been solved or explained by science like the immune system evolution or the flagellum

189. The books that inspire me

Comment #157619 by robotaholic on April 9, 2008 at 10:46 am

Lalla is totally my favorite narrator.- I can't get the links to work either...mabye it's because I use Opera and it's not supported sometimes...

190. Rep. Davis: The Worst Person in the World

Comment #157614 by robotaholic on April 9, 2008 at 10:40 am

I actually DON'T believe in her right to say this. As a representative she cannot support religion- at least not in this capacity.

Teratornis:

I don't have a problem with "hate speech" per se. I think it's better for people to say what they honestly think than to go around lying about it.

I totally agree with you that I would prefer honesty over lying (I'm brutally honest about everything to everyone and the friends I have a true friends because of it) but in this ladies capacity as a represenative she should do her job- which doesn't include hate speach or bigotry.

191. Discussion between Richard Dawkins and Paula Kirby

Comment #157261 by robotaholic on April 8, 2008 at 7:30 pm

Paula you're fabulous! I'm so impressed. Thanks so much. I am so enjoying this. I will never look at crystals the same way again either. :)

192. Richard Dawkins on The Big Questions

Comment #156890 by robotaholic on April 8, 2008 at 11:18 am

I have so much respect for Richard Dawkins. I don't like him having to sit over by himself either-but I wouldn't want to sit with those people-

193. Get out of here, atheists!

Comment #156566 by robotaholic on April 7, 2008 at 10:01 pm

so what...it's an emotional black lady getting religious - what's new? this is stereotypical behavior- if she were this emotional and PRO Science, Pro evolution, Pro atheism, THEN it would have been news-

Comment #155762 by robotaholic on April 5, 2008 at 4:27 pm

hey don't forget that we also have the penis pump judge here in Oklahoma ahhahaha- remember that?- a judge used a penis pump while he was in court behind and underneath his bench - the court reporter kept hearing pumping sounds.... and the crazy thing is that he was doing that during several major court cases involving murder and capital punishment lol - .

Oklahoma: land of the sexually repressed religious fundamentalists!

I didn't laugh after reading this. Instead, I was amazed that religion had turned those people back into cavemen.

198. Anti-gay Okla. lawmaker attracts 1,000 backers

Comment #155748 by robotaholic on April 5, 2008 at 2:51 pm

Well what gets me is that she expexts everyone to be christian - and she has to know that not everyone are christian - its kind of rude of her if you ask me- I mean I remember (a loooooooooooong time ago) when I was a religious- I still never expected everyone to act like a christian because I knew that a lot of people are not - but she - well she's amazingly short sighted

199. Dawkins warns of human extinction

Comment #155711 by robotaholic on April 5, 2008 at 10:06 am

i like how this article starts out

200. Fleabytes

Comment #155709 by robotaholic on April 5, 2008 at 9:59 am

Surely Dr. Benway you would prefer that people not be taught lies and consequently their view of reality become deminished as a result? (especially children)- I mean techincally they're actively teaching untruths- and you're ok with that? - well this is a longstanding discussion me and my friend Steven have been having - do people like Scientologists have the right to teach obvious untruths? or is it wrong and groups like Anonymous should receive our/my support? - It's a good topic because I can see truths on both sides like mabye there is utility in the doctrin of those beliefs- but still, to me somehow, truth seems better and teaching untruths- lies- whatever you call them- seems well you know wrong or morally wrong somewhat...
