Someone gave you rep for leaving? I can totally see that.

Apparently because I believe gay rights I'm probably a gay man. Since I believe in the rights of transgender people I must be transgender. And since I believe that the sun is a ball of hydrogen gas engaged in a prolonged nuclear reaction, I must be a ball of hydrogen gas engaged in a prolonged...

Well this is interesting. I can find no trace of the posts where Babs and (I think) Roseman were both saying that America has been ruined by taking prayer out of school. But I repeat the statement. If the kids went to school tomorrow and were asked to pray to Allah or Odin, how loud would the...

Religion is going to suffer huge losses much sooner than you think. Europe has already seen a substantial decrease in those who identify as religious. Why? Because the fastest cure for religion is exposure to other religions. In a monolithic religious culture, it sustains itself by everyone...

A religion is just a cult that has survived long enough to have a schism.

See, this is why I used the word cunt. Because it would stand out compared to the word bitch, which I'm sure has been used many, many times. Both are just words, but if I had called her a bitch it probably would have rolled off her too easily. On what basis does Babs make her claim? Certainly...

Not as new as you might think. Ibn al-Haytham was utilizing scientific methodology 1000 years ago. Galileo refined and standardized it 500 years later. But in that 1000 years there's nothing to substantiate a soul, that consciousness is any more than a biochemical process, or that an...

Do tell about this case of yours? I suppose you actually frequent the science sites that actually discuss the issues, instead of just reading the newspaper reports. I've interned at a newspaper. If you think you're getting facts from reporters, you're sadly mistaken. Reporters take...

So if your neighbor likes to tell you about the little blue man in the medicine cabinet that tells him about the NWO conspiracy and protects him from the aliens, do you keep an open mind to him or do you say "Whoa, he's fucking nuts." If he invites you in and you see a little apartment layout...

Thousands of journalists lied... And then you went 'full retarded'.

Except that the phrase you made it into is incorrect. A theoretical construct is based on evidence. Not on things you imagine from lack of evidence. Theories aren't just guesses or wild shots in the dark. They're what happens when a hypothesis grows up after being well fed by science.

Feel like there's more than you can sense all you want. But once you pull something out of imagination, stick a name on it, start to define it and give it special properties, and attach it to other mythological constructs without any evidence for it puts you right in the camp with the folks...

Don't forget the part where it was claimed that the soul is 21 grams! If it has mass, it's detectable, measurable, and testable. Don't you love people with no grasp of the natural world?

The difference is there was scientific evidence for black holes. The concept of black holes was derived from evidence of objects that were warping space where nothing could be seen. So the data was examined extensively. Souls are a mythical construct back from the time when people were...

"I am somehow less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein’s brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops." Stephen Jay Gould, 1980 The minds have always been there. But it took a culmination of things: The...

Ah yes, the troll who can define creation. That would make you god. Or a liar. Guess which one we're betting on? Next thing you're going to say that the bible is the inerrant word of god, right?

I've never seen you use anything approaching reason yet.

It's okay. When the really stupid people come in, it only takes a minute or two for each person to absolutely refute their moronic statements and then all the other people that read it get to see just how retarded some of the people that share their same beliefs are, and little by little it...

Thalidomide, you fucking genius.

So your answer to not knowing the answers is to make up an invisible man in the sky who treats women like property, orders genocide and the rape of children, punishes people for not believing in him AFTER he has already stated that he has hidden himself from them, can't seem to make up his mind...
