LovinLarge replies on Aug 15, 2020:
Isn't there more to it than that though? The "About Us" page of this website says "We hope to be able to provide a safe pace for people...". Now it comes out that he has been using this website to interact with and analyze the behavior of our membership for the purpose of disclosing it on his conservative website. I have asked him if he has interacted with our membership under a different name than "Admin" but he has not answered and even if he does answer, how will we know if his answer is truthful? What will the implication be if he doesn't answer? Could he have objectively interacted with other members under the "Admin" name? Isn't transparency akin to honesty?

LovinLarge replies on Aug 14, 2020:
@skado 1. "main motivation was only to experiment on people like guinea pigs" "I haven't seen (yet) hard evidence that his motives are malevolent" The OP didn't make either of those things part of her poll, you made up both of those things on your own to serve your own purposes. 2. The article referred to having created "two living 'petri dishes'" where he spent time "analyzing the behavior of members". You said there was no evidence and rather than objectively analyzing the evidence presented you, you make up things to try to justify the position you took before you saw the evidence. Fucking sad.

That is an interesting perspective. I have great faith in the young people, but the fight will not end in my lifetime. Even my plea for the use of gender-inclusive language on this website was resisted, which surprised me because it is commonplace in many other countries. Sometimes I think about returning to Canada, but the fight is here.

ZantiMisfit comments on Aug 12, 2020:
Sometimes. But I remember being religious or a non-believer is just one aspect of someone. And even then, the amount of belief or disbelief will vary person by person. I try to focus on what I have in common with the people around me.
LovinLarge replies on Aug 12, 2020:
Yes indeed. My experience is that believers try harder to get along with others, probably because they think they have some kind of investment or whatever but I don't care why because I also think it is incumbent upon me to do my best to get along with others. So I enjoy their company regardless of their religious position, often moreso.

It is a redundancy, if you are not sure about the existence of god(s), you by definition doubt its existence. If your doubts are honest you are an atheist, if they are not you are a theist. Atheism is the position for bet hedgers and fence sitters. EDIT Correction, first word of the last line ...

@JeffMurray If I didn't value your response, I wouldn't have used any of my time to address it. I try to give people the benefit of the doubt once but now you just seem like a troublemaker. I don't have time for such nonsense. Please make a positive contribution or move along.

One thing I can tell you . . . don't use GoDaddy. In the name of experimentation I purchased 3 different domains relating to my real name ( .com , .ca and .info) just to see how it worked (there are a few reasons why I may need to do so in the future). The domains were cheap for the first 3 ...

I can imagine someone putting in tens of thousands of dollars' worth of work for a site that may struggle to get a thousand unique visitors a year. It's not an attractive proposition at the moment. What you could try doing though is write up a full description of your vision for the site and make a ...

Uh oh... I know you're looking for a collaborator/partner, which is not same as hiring, but your phrasing may bring your trouble. Asking for an "atheist web designer" sounds like hiring someone based on a religious affiliation, which may have legal consequences of religious discrimination....

@Storm1752 You said, "Go ahead, but I have more 'evidence' than you do, since you have none" and then didn't cite any evidence. You hold such a prejudice against who you ridiculously call "hard" atheists that you've lost all objectivity.

@JeffMurray It makes sense to him. If it makes sense to him, I'm not sure it matters if it makes sense to anyone else. Although it did seem like he left out a word but perhaps not. I was asking people to walk me through their logic and many were generous enough to do so. I learned far more than anticipated from their responses. One thing I learned was that sometimes it is helpful just to think about what someone wrote rather than responding. Another is that whether I agree with any of them is unimportant.

LovinLarge replies on Aug 10, 2020:
@OldMetalHead In that case, I am a 7 on Dawkins Scale and it is not about belief, it is about the lack of evidence. There is no credible evidence of any gods and nothing else in nature to support the possible existence of any gods. When anyone can present any credible evidence (not argument) of any gods, it should be taken into consideration. Until then, that is my final word on the subject for the purposes of this thread.

LovinLarge replies on Aug 10, 2020:
My question was whether one could be both atheist and agnostic. Most below seem to think so, but no also put in a strong showing among many fascinating answers that I am still contemplating with a couple of non-answers. You also appear to be a no since The Dawkins Scale doesn't appear to allow for it. But whether god exists as per The Dawkins Scale is a completely different question. Of course it is the most interesting question in the religious arena and I like the way Dawkins has quantified it but agree with your reservation. If I gave you my answer I would be here to time immemorial defending it so I hope you will give me a deferment for now. I am experiencing a personal emergency that must take priority. Thank you for asking and answering.

It will be a social networking exclusively for atheists. I have not logged in nor will I. I envision the members delivering the content. not unlike this site. I have a very limited amount of time (and even less technical knowledge) to devote to this project, that's why I need a collaborator. I've had a couple of unexpected problems arise this morning that will take me a few days to solve and then I can devote some more time to this project.

LovinLarge replies on Aug 10, 2020:
I have been persecuted all my life for being an atheist. I am now going to try to build an online atheist community so it only seems appropriate that the web designer be atheist, especially if they are going to stay involved with the project. The agnostic label is a bit dicey because as I understand it not all of them are non-religious. If I can't develop the domain in the time I have, I will try to pass it along to someone who would like to try.

Thank you, I also think it will be a big job especially because I know zip about web design. I figure either the right person will come along or they won't. All I can do is try. If I am going to proceed, it probably has to be soon. I have an ad on Craig's List for a non-religious web designer and I am shocked at how many respondents don't understand what that means.

Want to know REAL Covid censorship - how about states not getting medical info and forced to deal directly with the tRump admin to squash death numbers. 165k And counting. The U.S. is 4% of the world population and has 25% of the deaths; how is that, in any brain, a good response?
LovinLarge replies on Aug 8, 2020:
Instead of distributing our stockpile of PPE to the states like it was stockpiled for, the feds actually sold it to private companies who sold it to the states at a profit. So we paid for it twice and there still isn't enough because the companies the feds paid to produce it never came through. So we actually paid for a shortage of PPE three times. No plan, insufficient PPE, no vaccine, >150,000 and counting dead. Worst government malfeasance in American history.
