Another quick and random thought…I often hear theists say “I know God exists because I have experienced him”.
We can retort with a psychological argument or discuss brain chemistry etc. But something that just struck me is the gaping philosophical hole that argument leaves.
If God can be proven by a ‘godlike’ experience’, can he […]

I can’t believe I’d never heard of Bill Hicks! I was introduced to him earlier today by a friendly atheist. Such a funny guy if not a little angry at times! (Hicks, not the atheist)

This is an interview that was cut from Dawkins’ “Root of all Evil” documentary.

I just had a random thought, it came from nowhere really but here it is. I hope it makes sense, it’s not structured and I’m just thinking aloud.
I could believe in a godlike being that created the universe. I really could. In fact, to some extent, it makes sense to me.
If someone was to […]

Has anyone watched the film Saved? It’s a really interesting movie by Brian Dannelly (who, incidentally, directed a couple of great episodes of Weeds) following a schoolgirl that is demonized by her Christian friends after she becomes pregnant. The story is all the more fascinating because the boy that impregnated her is gay! The idea […]

I’ll admit it, I’m a bit of a celeb addict. I put it down to my wife’s unhealthy obsession with all that is celebrity. The day I go without the ‘E’ channel taking over the living room or tripping over a copy of Heat then then I know she’s left me. Unfortunately that’s left me […]

When I hear this kind of rubbish.
This was a debate featured on ABC Nightline.
The idea was to have Kirk Cameron and his Chuckle Brother comrade prove, scientifically, that God exists. (If you don’t believe me about the Chuckle brother comment check the link, you have to see it to believe it. For anyone in the […]

It’s normally trotted out when you’re debating religion, or discussing whether God exists or being told that atheists are evil because without God we’d kill everyone.
Then it happens. The golden phrase “I used to be an atheist”.
Now I can understand why one would want to use this. It gives some level of credence when […]

So Jerry Falwell has left us. Am I happy? You bet. He was a snide little man, spouting hate and discrimination. He and his cronies offered nothing more than religious dogma with the purpose of getting rich and seeking power. But I do feel sorry for him. I have a lot of sympathy because he […]

Bill “We had Richard Dawkins on and I think I beat him in a debate because I said to him ‘look, you can not explain to me how the world, the earth, got here’”
What now?
First, Dawkins doesn’t need anyone to protect him, but I hardly think you beat anyone, second, you’re talking to Kirk Cameron, […]
