We are given free will under the proviso that we never use it.

The ontological argument is slightly more complex than that. (But not much!) Basically summarised: - If there is a god, he is, by definition, perfect in every way. If he did not exist, he would be less than perfect. Therefore, he exists. The first lemma is why it does not apply to squaaags, knoofle...

I didn't know he could write.

You know...I can actually sort of understand him. I mean Dawkins. Think of it...he doesn't really know us, as he hasn't posted much on the forum. He just knows there is a forum out there attached to the website bearing his name, and with some luck he knows that it was quite a busy place. Then his f...

If you will remember the context in which I called gravity a law--I said that if you break the law of gravity, you will suffer the consequences

That's funny, because I've been levitating all day, and nothing bad's happened to me.

On very strict "on-topic" forums I have been in it often seems like people run out of things to say, because the...

What if Josh's account at RDF (and Facebook) has been hacked by some creotard and he's trying to be a little funny? You shouldn't say such a thing. He'll probably plagiarise you, and use it as his excuse in the unlikely event he comes to his senses. So, for the record. I bet that if Josh reverses h...

I was TEP, before the Timonen holocaust obliterated the landscape in the burning fires of stupidity that caused so much death and annihilation. But, after spending a couple of days in a nice tomb some rich guy let me have, I am now risen, triumphantly reborn as Arcanyn!

I must say, with this action of his, Josh has just succeeded at making this guy appear intelligent:

Hey folks. Another one from richarddawkins.net. I must say I am somewhat surprised at what has happened. A few years ago I was a member of the Universist forum, which was basically some guy's attempt to create a freethought movement. The forum was reasonably successful, at its peak attracting ten th...
