Finding out that many religions are paradoxical is like making the discovery that there happens to be chlorine in salt. Looking at the basis of the christian god it is obvious that not one, but several paradoxes are required to make sense of who or what he/she happens to be.
Like many religious arguments that end with, “I feel it in my heart” or “I believe it to be true” the following needs be added to the lexicon of say nothing evasive responses -“OH, its supernatural…” Watch darkmatter 2525 probe the depths of this topic.
It is always funny to watch people try to argue against evolution without actually knowing what evolution is. Constructing straw men to beat down, making appeals to ignorance and arguments from incredulity seem to be the game plan for most arguments of the religious against well established scientific fact. The Living Dinosaur makes a great video rebutting a creationist claim that complex biochemical pathways could not have possibly evolved over time. Making such a claim requires a fairly good understanding of biology and evolution, do you think the creationists did their homework so as to make a defensible legitimate claim? Watch LD and find out.
Richard Dawkins has a new new book out called the Magic of Reality. Doing the promotional rounds in the UK and the US must promote a certain amount of cognitive dissonance for Dawkins as the calibre of the questions he faces varies a great deal depending on which side of the Atlantic he’s on. Compare and contrast, my faithful readership, the two interviews conducted with Dawkins, one by the BBC and the other by Fox News.
As a North American, the second interview makes me ashamed to share the same continent with ‘commentators’ that espouse the merits of bronze age wisdom in the 21st century.
Sometimes the weather works in your favour. This video by Concordance is a perfect example of just such an occasion.
Perhaps the good governor will pray for atheists next time. :)
It has been a stressful week here at DWR central. So be prepared for a video heavy/prose light week this upcoming week.
The Disservice today is a short clip from the show Dexter on religion and belief. It’s nice to see television media approaching the question of religion and atheism.
Why all the hate on christianity? We get often get that question here at DWR. Here is a little sampling of why we take christianity and religion in general to task. Short version: religion is bad for you and those around you.
I’m feeling a bit under the weather, and brevity will be the theme of the upcoming posts, but then I stumbled on this gem of a video from the Living Dinosaur. Seeing that it would fit in nicely with today’s theme of how repulsive religion actually is please enjoy TLD’s take down of a popular creationist nutbar Casey Luskin. It’s long, but entirely worth your time.
Filthy atheists going about ruining society for everyone. Unconscionable! If it ever happens, please feel welcome to come to Canada where we still know the value of a modern, secular society.
