I have never heard anyone make this argument. I think it's a straw man. In other words, I think it is something made up by those who are against theism or don’t agree with organized religion.
So I would like for anyone to provide arguments as to where they herd it or think religious...
I have been reading the Salem Witch Trials and learning about the Puritans. Many people take them as crazies while others are apologists to their cause of upholding their puritan ways.
After reading Cotton Mather's,The wonders of the Invisible World - From 'The Norton Anthology American...

Boredom is something everyone experiences, however very little scientific research has been devoted to exploring some of its causes or why people experience it. Based on personal experience, I was bored and decided to play a video a game this past week. It was very captivating and kept my...
I read this article about scientist recording the coldest temperature in the Antarctic. Before I start I would just like to say that I am somewhat of an environmentalist. I think we should continuously push towards renewable-clean energy. Like solar, geothermal and ambient. However, when people...
How does god or one that has some type of omni property fit into an infinite universe: a universe that continues on forever and ever with no true beginning or end? To give you an idea of what Im talking about you can look at a 2D fractal that contains infinite sets and basically continues on...
When it comes to black holes it seems like our 20/20 vision is incapable of seeing them. Maybe we need someone with imperfect sight to us about black holes?

I have heard someone say grace similar to this one and they were a JW, but were with other people of different beliefs and faiths. I thought I would post this here, because it is one of the best ways in my opinion to show gratitude for the holiday.

Most legislatures in America know how to step down after they have been found guilty of lies and scandals, but it seems some people just don't have the moral decency or courage to do so.
There used to be such a thing as resigning with some honor when caught egregiously lying or engaging in...
I herd them for the first time last night, and spent the entire night listening to all of there stuff. Two of the songs that I thought were fairly good is the remake of a Miley
Cyrus song and another sung by Lorde.
The second one is the kind you listen to late at night when you have nothing...
I was debating in another thread and it got me thinking about people who are very, very, smart and can be considered genius. Not too long ago I read an article about someone who created a fusion reactor at the age of 14 and is the youngest person to do so. The article about him is published...
The only thing I remember from this game is making the fat guy drop his pants and punching him in the belly. Along with knocking Mike out! I also remember the real skinny guy being easy to beat. He was a real push over.
I think most beliefs, whether they are religious or nonreligious can fall under one of two categories.
The first is Argumentum ad populum or appeal to people. This is a fallacy, because it concludes that a proposition is true because other people also believe it to be true.

I havent watched all of this yet, but it seems like a good video from what I have seen.
