    Homosexual Adoption

    They should be allowed to be parents, since their sexuality does not enter into parenting. A secure, supportive, loving environment is what is required, sexuality doesn't really effect that. People have been brought up in single-parent families, or by sisters or brothers, there's no evidence...

    How did you become an Atheist?

    Age 12, I saw Hell for the obvious scare-tactic it was, then saw an episode of babylon 5 where it turned out Vorlons were angels and Shadows were demons. Then I thought it was far more likely angels/gods were just aliens so gave up on gods. I then went through phases of testing magic to see...

    Creation vs. Evolution

    Archy is a dinobird, though people tend to refer to it as a bird. Though it has several features unique to reptiles, rather than birds. Mutations are nto inherently bad to the organism, as you'll notice, influenza, the common cold and HIV change rapidly and we've had no luck wiping them out...

    Masturbation

    There's nothing wrong with lust either, it's just what we're hard-wired to do. It would only be wrong if you hurt someone to satisfy your lust.

    We Live In A Haunted House

    Then invite Randi round, you have nothing to lose and everything to gain :P. Well that's not too convincing. Have you got any online resources with references to these skeptics and your house?

    Are there or can there be other beings?

    I don't see why not, several ages of stars have come and gone before our star came about, I don't think it's unlikely at all there's some life out there, sentient life seemed to be an extremely useful mutation on earth, so i suspect there will be sentient, and possibly even intelligent life...

    E=MC2

    Matter is a configuration of energy, at least according to m-theory. Oh and it's e=mc^2, not e=mc2, that would mean mass * lightspeed * 2, not squared.

    We Live In A Haunted House

    Contact James Randi now, you could easily become millionaires if what you say is substanciated. Alternatively, local universities may be interested, or local skeptic societies, either way, get in touch with someone from the official science community and get them to check out your home.

    Pledge of Allegence

    Exactly, you take traditions based on whether they're fair or not. The pledge isn't fair, since not everyone is under any god or the majority's god.

    Pledge of Allegence

    Appealing to tradition for something such as this applies to any discriminatory position; "Free the slaves? But owning slaves is traditional!" "Allow blacks the vote? But black people have never had that in the past, why should they get it now?" "Remove "under God" from the pledge? But...

    Less Religious Over Time?

    That's a biased sample of first world countries, since it's well established the US is the most backward first world nation; with creationism strongest there by a vast disparity to the rest of the world. Religion runs high in the US, and so do alot of it's bad aspects. The US has to compare...

    Pledge of Allegence

    Appealing to tradition is a fallacy. Besides, the phrase was only a recent addition, so it's an appeal to young tradition. :lol: Not with the founding fathers, however. Check these quotes out (i'm not objectivist, but the quotes are good) http://religion.aynrand.org/quotes.html Not...

    The RULES of your religion

    Respect nature. Ignorance should be eradicated. Pay attention to the universe. That's it, the rest is down to the person.

    Less Religious Over Time?

    The educated world is becoming more secular, this is undeniable, the poorer countries are getting more religious, but they're stuck in the dark ages; give them a few centuries and who knows?

    Pledge of Allegence

    God has nothing to do with patriotism, morality, liberty or justice. It was only put in to make the evil godless commie conspirators explode or something when they said it and the associated McCarthyite hysteria caught zip communists. The pledge is discriminatory to nontheists. Replace...

    The Fall of Atheism

    No, their bias is not why their argument is wrong. Their argument is wrong due to appalling logic and stupidity, as with most creation rubbish.

    Altruism

    The outcome was "good" because people got something beneficial out of it. Agreed. The altruism is entirely dependent on motive. That same altruism isn't all that important imo so long as someone is willing to do the actual action. If someone wants to pick of crap from a highway, per se...
