"oh dear" said God, "I hadn't thought of that" and promply vanishes in a puff of logic.

This is so true. I very much like your wording on the matter.

lol, well he was a friend of his and Douglas admired him and was partly convinced to become atheist by his books, so I think he has a much right as anyone to quote from him

@holmesc25 I'm sorry to butt in, but you are incorrect in saying you live a harder life. Many politicians, judges, congressmen, senators, and even presidents are and have been christian, and they are the ones who determine laws, sentences, how the country is run, and even how they represent the people. It is fair to say that someone with that slant would be biased in how they do their jobs. And by the way, according to polls, 2 billion people are christians on earth. Hard life my ass.

I think what Richard is trying to say here is that when it comes to philosophy, rigidity = insecurity.

I think Douglas was a bit generous in the way he described the relationship between political parties... I guess he never got to see the American political system post 2008.

@Hufflewaffle If that was the case my learned friend - your beloved atheist friends would be a little less quick about jumping to conclusions regarding there being no God. Everything fantastic that we can see in creation screams for a creator and if that is not enough even the most basic life forms like really really basic need 380 genes present all at once to exist. The evidence is overwhelming for the old William Paley argument. Only a fool and a blind one will argue otherwise.

@holmesc25 There are also millions of people in the world for whom would kill those of a different faith because theirs is unarguably right. Faith is blind. People shouldn't believe something because its comforting. For example life after death sounds great, but to believe you live forever means you may take your short lived life for granted. A story of life, evolution, cosmology, quantum physics, biology and all the rest is far more aw inspiring than faith in something that isn't real.

@holmesc25 So, you're arguing FOR ignorance? What an enlightened position.

@sd62t833 But people 'choose' from many methods of living (religeons) but we can't seem to co-exisit. Some people with different 'methods' can't share a fence, or a town, or a country, or a planet.

"[{atheism 2 : godlessness esp. in conduct : UNGODLINESS , WICKEDNESS } -- fr. p. 137 of "Webster's Unabridged Dictionary" of 1967 -- exactly as it appears, including the uppercase letters...]"

the reason, i think, for the taboo is because religious ideas can't be defended rationally. since that's the case, society "protects" religious ideas from being assailed or instilling doubts into the believer. IF there were cogent arguments for a diety, then religious views would be open to criticism similar to economics, tax policy, politics, etc.

@whiteliketar Ok when did the convo switch to atheism being the only other plausible view from Christianity or Islam or any other bullshit religion? Saying that a "God" exists is one thing but saying that the bible was written by "God" and it tells people what "God" wants is another. Either way i see why in our case it makes sense that everything came from something except "God". With that long silky beard of his and being a single parent and all he has no time to explain where "he" came from.

@sebastianquilt How are they weak? Why is it that those with faith only ever attack personally, even if your god is real then can't it stand up for itself?

God is an Idea, someone had to idealize him to existence.... so why shouldnt we question THAT idea? Oh .....wait.. I know! "Its all part of a Plan made by a idealized god" Which we apperentlli need to follow... here is my point..if he is an idea; then arnt we just following THAT persons idea? ..Not " Gods plan"....... (PS; Pardon my english, it is decent enough to get point across but not fluently. =P )

ASarcasmProduction

That's nonsense Richard, but every time I read or hear you speak it's generally nonsense. I suppose because I have always held debates about God, and seen open debates about religion, and I am always reading about criticisms of religion, such as even your own anti Catholic book, the God Delusion. So you speak in contradictor arguments yourself, but since you speak with an English accent we are to believe some how you are superior. Well Mr. Adams was a fictional writer, he makes people laugh.Haha

Adams and Dawkins must argue against the children who make objective and beyond criticism the 'holy'. Really, why does the public eye find attractive these weak atheists. Surely there are better ones, if any.

what a lie. it's the other way around. As a Chinese archeologist stated recently 'In China you can question Darwin but you can't question the government - in the US however you can question the government but you can't question Darwin.'
