Quite so. In Australia the responsibility for adequately recompensing an employee would rest with the employer, not random strangers off the street.

I wrote this a few years back at the time of the Harold Camping lunacy: https://religiousatrocities.wordpress.com/2011/10/23/us-christian-apocalypse-mildly-inconveniences-up-to-four-people/ In an exclusive interview, God revealed to us today that Harold Camping was correct, and the Christian...

According to me that's .09% and .009%. You may want to check your maths with your daughter.

Give that mermaid a beer! Mermaids love beer. https://religiousatrocities.wordpress.com/2012/02/11/zimbabwe-mermaids-scare-off-reservoir-workers-orange-uk/ [The original article has gone, alas].

It was (relatively) popular in Australia some years ago -- about the time they designed this website, by the look of it: http://www.eckankar.org.au/EA/

I put it this way: if God exists and is rational then he will reward rational behaviour. If God exists and isn't rational, then all bets are off and nobody has any better chance of eternal reward than anyone else.

And then there's all those Kung Fu movies...

If it's secret, how can you possibly know how many there are? But a couple of people are keeping track of these: http://www.ranker.com/list/top-10-anti-gay-activists-caught-being-gay/joanne http://www.bilerico.com/2013/02/the_best_of_list_outed_anti-gay_preachers_politici.php

But he is, I submit, representative of Christian pastors who write and speak out disparagingly in public about homosexuality. A very large number of those have been subsequently outed as homosexual.

And I thought Lumpy's God was omnipotent. Couldn't an omnipotent God have made people smart enough to understand simple instructions about being nice to each other?

There should be a rotating Duty Roster for gods, so everybody gets a turn and nobody gets burned out after a thousand years. That can happen.

As one Mason said to another: "I can't remember your name, but the fez is familiar." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AlfUwSuzu9E -- Steely Dan: The Fez

If Lumpy's claims are correct, I have a great way to win at roulette: Go into a casino with a friend and approach the roulette table. You guess what colour the ball will land on -- red or black -- and (here's the clever part), whatever you guess, your friend guesses the opposite. Now, it's got...

I also like to point out that the descriptor 'God' is a position statement; it refers to an entity who is responsible for doing certain things. If those things don't get done, or the entity doesn't do them, then it's not a god, regardless of whether or not it has the capacity to do them if it...

Not sharemarket tips, unfortunately.

On Quora -- where I now spend most of my forum time -- I've started using the phrase 'any god that matters'. I'm also careful to refer to 'your God' when responding to theists, just to try and limit this kind of definitional bait-and-switch.

I was there in spirit form and I can totally confirm this. So can all my anonymous homies. I'm as sure of it as I am sure Jesus walked on water. Pay up, Lumpy.

My experience is that specific religious arguments originate with the brightest theists and gradually work their way down through the remainder as they gradually become aware that there is a debate, and that they are expected to defend their position. You can pretty accurately estimate the...
