Atheists, what was the hardest thing to accept when you became atheist?
Moravian comments on Mar 25, 2019:
I once read in a medical book that people who drink (alcohol) heavily from an early age may not mature in an emotional and intellectual way. I have seen this in alcoholics I have known. In many ways they can be almost childlike. Could religious indoctrination have a similar effect ?

Yes you can as has been shown in the UK and Australia. Since the gun laws have been tightened in Australia deaths have dropped by two thirds, but that is not the point that Toby Morris is saying. The shout that "this is not us" from New Zealanders after the shooting as he says is not true. The NZ society is based on colonial invasion and low level racism is endemic in society. Not as marked as in Australia but it is there.

October 6, 1967 - The funeral notice posted in Haight Ashbury for the death of the hippie.
Moravian comments on Mar 20, 2019:
I think like Mark Twain reports of the death are an exaggeration .
I visited Haight Ashbury on a visit to San Francisco a few years ago and it felt like like a pilgrimage
Moravian replies on Mar 21, 2019:
Hope you can make it sometime.Of course the huge influx of hippies have long since gone,there were estimated to have been around 50000 at the peak of the peace and love era. The place still has a great atmosphere with several head shops and I even saw a young guy with ginger dreads sitting on the pavement playing a sitar.

The Christian message did not "burst upon the scene". It was just one of many cults and if it had not been adopted as the Roman state religion we may still all be pagans. Islam was spread by military conquest and then by favourable treatment of Muslims such as lower taxes.

The idea that there is only one God “may well have been the single most important innovation in history. For our purposes monotheism’s importance lies primarily in the fact that it is the only viable source of absolute truth. Only a single creator God can establish such truths. Monotheism also allowed for the formation of the rule of law, whereby God stands over and above His creation, and establishes immutable laws that are equally applicable to all people without exception.4 With no such conception of God and His law, individual people or cultures occupy God’s throne, dispensing justice as they see fit. Man-made laws are as changeable as the human mind and may not be applicable to the ruling power.

So, what you're saying is gun owners' rights should be trampled because of the actions of a few? Automobiles kill far more people than guns. So we must ban every car except Model Ts? How would we apply that idea to Freedom of Speech? And Freedom of the Press?

@Marionville I can see the point in target practice with rifles and even shotguns, although clay shooting is the usual practice, but handguns are really just for shooting people, or maybe rats in some places, so I see it as no big deal if they are slightly inconvenienced.

@Marionville I don't see any problem with handguns for shooting at targets having to be kept at the gun club. After all that is the only place they can be used and it stops the possibility of them falling into the wrong hands either in transit or in theft from the home. It means that if a person is found with a handgun anywhere but at the club he/she is guilty of a crime. They should also be much more secure at the club.
Shotguns and sporting rifles are a different matter as the can legally be used elsewhere.
I had a shotgun which I used for rough shooting at the time of Dunblane which I kept in a proper gun cabinet but afterwards It was such a hassle getting approval each year. that I got rid of it I had to get a JP or someone of similar standing and as I hardly used it it was more trouble than it was worth.
Semi automatic rifles are something else and should be totally banned for use by the general public.

Of course China are in Africa, but not with troops, with businessmen. Namibia, one if the poorest countries in Africa is selling uranium to China and benefitting greatly from it. The US farmers also benefitted by selling soya to China until Trump's ill advised tariff war.
The situation in Kashmir is a result of the British Raj and their hopeless handling of partition in 1947.
You talk about imperialism. This is a summary of US imperialism round the world.Facts which can easily be checked
"Despite recently closing hundreds of bases in Iraq and Afghanistan, the United States still maintains nearly 800 military bases in more than 70 countries and territories abroad—from giant “Little Americas” to small radar facilities. Britain, France and Russia, by contrast, have about 30 foreign bases combined."

@Renickulous So it is all about your definition of morality. Actually your argument and question is specious. A bit like the old chestnut "when did you stop beating your wife?". Get a good dictionary and look up the meaning of human. You couldn't say "a human" because up to around 21 weeks an embryo/foetus is not viable . You could call it a potential human but that doesn't carry the same weight.
OK you do not agree with abortion , you are entitled to your opinion but to try to justify your position with nothing more than semantics doesn't work I'm afraid.

I'm not sure what your motivation is unless it is to try to make women feel guilty but if you insist then the question should be when is a foetus viable.
Millions of embryos are miscarried every year and if this is caused by the woman taking drugs or even from extremely vigorous exercise then under your reasoning the woman is guilty of manslaughter. Now that is ridiculous. .

These recent dreadful accidents need thorough investigation....it’s extremely worrying in almost brand new planes. I think they should all be grounded in the meantime as a precaution.
Moravian replies on Mar 12, 2019:
I think they have mostly been grounded now and have been banned from all UK airspace. I don't know if this is true but I heard that because this model has heavier engines located further forward there is a tendency for the plane to stall so the computers have been programmed to drop the nose of the plane if this happens.
The pilot can override this but the airlines and crew have not been fully informed of this. I find this totally unbelievable but if it is true Boeing are going to take a massive hit. Time to buy some shares in Airbus I think.

I think they have mostly been grounded now and have been banned from all UK airspace. I don't know if this is true but I heard that because this model has heavier engines located further forward there is a tendency for the plane to stall so the computers have been programmed to drop the nose of the plane if this happens.
The pilot can override this but the airlines and crew have not been fully informed of this. I find this totally unbelievable but if it is true Boeing are going to take a massive hit. Time to buy some shares in Airbus I think.

Moravian comments on Mar 12, 2019:
The early Christians were persecuted not for worshiping their god but for refusing to worship the official Roman gods. When Christianity became the official religion they returned the favour, tenfold.

I would like to create an International Agnostics Day but:
I'm not sure it's a good idea
I'm between two minds about it

I’m curious about how many women believe they have a one track mind.
Kattywampus69 comments on Mar 11, 2019:
Curious. Do you mean "one track mind" in a sexual way? And, were you smoking copious amounts of pot while having these seemingly unrelated thoughts?
Anyway. This is what I've always believed about "multitasking"...

Moravian replies on Mar 12, 2019:
@Kattywampus69 I agree. We can think about other things while doing simple tasks but it is not really multitasking.

If you describe yourself as "Atheist," some people will say, "Don't you mean 'Agnostic'?
KKGator comments on Mar 11, 2019:
I absolutely agree with you.
I am an atheist. Completely and unapologetically.
There is NOTHING that has ever proven the existence of ANY god, at
any time.
Religious faith is a voluntary and deliberate mental illness, of that I am also completely sure.
To me, agnosticism is bullshit. You ...
