An example of a religious nation would be: Saudi Arabia. The rule of law is fully enshrined in religious rulings.

Dear Sir, Your stupidity is bewildering. I am aware of our demographic spiritual persuasion, that is another argument. So every child born should "shut the fuck up"- given no one is born "having a personal relationship with JC" (a basic definition of Christianity)? The inherent...

Also, fuck off with the "christian nation" garbage. This is an insult to those of us who believe in the enlightenment values which have served our nation so well.

As an atheist (and I believe that we are a country of secular sentiment) I respect no religious holidays, including christian holidays (The logical conclusion of respecting no religion). Public holidays dictate economic production, I do not think it is the governments place to say when...

This is the part I question. Given he hasn't even finished commerce, he may have got a job through charisma but possibly what role at the CBA would he have which is paying $100 000 k, to a non-grad! I mean, that shit is reserved for the lucky few IB gads or engineers... I'm not saying...

Hey, posted a question for you in DGE :)

Hey, I had two philosophical questions: 1) What are your thoughts on arguments against say the classical Christian paradigm from materialistic apologetics- ie Michael Martin's "Transcendental Argument for the Non-existence of God" (TANG)? The crux of this argument is that the grounds for...

True. It is a commonly held position among many academic philosophers, it would be foolish to think they haven't nutted through the most basic elements of its logic. Do note, there lies quite a distinction between descriptive and normative relativism.

Good thing it doesn't exist ;) But withstanding any intellectual snobbery, you have seen "Zazzy's" pinky-length vocabularly? I certainly don't sit here in anguish awaiting an intellectual beating, albeit: "fuckin' wit ma beliefs, its wat i think is da truth yo, 'iz u a muslim, den i...

I do hate to be in the business of accusations so I'll be silent on whether your a liar, but until you can produce any convincing reason otherwise, I'm going to have to be a respectful skeptic and say I don't believe you.

Yeah, a good read is William Shaw's "Relativism"- basically shows its a logical fail. I'll have to decline your generous offer, I'm geographically void. A warm pot of Earl Grey poured over a wealth of good debate with a random stranger at a corner-metro cafe is always delightful.

You are aware I was speaking about theists not reviewing anything outside their "revealed" text. The logical fail in your statement is horrendous. Atheism (well conscious and active) is a negative position- it is a reflection on the "truth value" presented by a religious hypothesis...

I'm majoring in Finance at UOW. I did 3 unit and find the maths steady. Another engineering mate (final year) still finds it enough (but not hard). Finance subjects give you the derived equation; you need to apply it. Basically every test (unless its like a theory subject like fin. markets)...

Not to be argumentative, but unless I'm not understanding, I just don't think your friend would be a senior associate in an IB before even graduating comm/law? Or are you saying he has finished law + plt, registered on the solicitor's role and not yet finished commerce due to failures?

TBH though, this is the ignorance many speak of. I can not understand why, if you truly are about "seeking truth" your afraid to look at other perspectives. I've read your sources and made a decision. How can the world ever improve if people won't even accept there is several arguments for...

Please explain.

I know its a hard step, but don't fear education ;)

Here brother, YouTube - The Evolution of Religions

Youtube Jared Diamond on "The Evolution of Religion" I'm very interested in the study of religion as an evolutionary, objective, social phenomenon. When you understand it in this context, particularly several religions competing within a Darwinian framework for survival, as an atheist you...

Your of course entitled to draw conclusions about my intentions. But I am actually deadly serious on "trying" to be tolerant- I just got to a point where instantly feeling the need to clash with someone on theology becomes frivolous and depressing. It generally just leads to bitter, upset...
