    Pythonisms.

    Boring day in Cornwall, raining so I though I would ask what your favourite Pythonisms are. My personal favourite, for those of you not into python this is a reference to Excalibur and the Lady of the Lake Well, but you can’t expect to wield supreme executive power just ‘cause some watery tart...

    I'm a friend of the Mayor I am!

    Me and the boys were down the pub last night discussing a pompous twit full of his own self importance and we use the term " I am a friend of the Mayor I am" which is a longstanding joke amongst us. What term do you use to describe someone who defines their life by some really banal achievement...

    Anger is an energy.

    So I read a lot on here about not giving in to anger and that anger is wrong. I hear a lot about the Angry Atheist. Platitudes like this, For as long as you seek a target for your anger, you will continue to fuel that anger. For as long as you fuel your anger, you will contribute to the sum of...

    Incel What is it?

    The incel ideology followed by Jake Davison belongs to this new blurry extremism – incubated, propagated and weaponised online. What hasn’t changed are those seduced. Socially isolated individuals with little stake in society, like Davison, are those most vulnerable. The pandemic has amplified...

    Role models for Norwegian People.

    What sort of role models do you think Norwegian people should have, obviously the most famous Norwegian person of the last hundred years is Morten Harket. Looks like a bit of a feminine Patrick Swayze and sings in a high voice. I have nothing against people from Norway after all it is not...

    Pray Away. (the gay)

    Watched this the other night, well worth watching but it is not pleasant how these people were treated and how scripture still encourages abuse by the religious on their fellow practitioners. Featured prominently are former “ex-gay” figures like John Paulk and Julie Rodgers, who explain how...

    Instant Christians, talking to the dead and other fakery.

    Found this on you tube whilst looking into a charlatan spiritualist, you can watch the whole video but the most interesting bit is at 16.06, a guy who is not religious is subject to a magic trick much like we see Televangelists perform. I would love to have this tried on me, how many of my...

    Show us your photo's.

    The best thing about mobile phones is everyone is a photographer, thought it might be nice for people to share some of the favourite photo's they took with a phone, camera or what ever. Any subject you think would be nice to share. These are from around where I live, Dartmoor, Petrified Forest...

    Atheist Views.

    This comes from another thread where a theist talked about imposing atheist views on others. Lets remind people atheists only have one view to impose, they lack belief in or positively state there are no gods. That is it, full stop, the end, the parrot has gone to meet its maker! Pro...

    Qualifiers.

    Across the many debates I have had on this forum it appears to me that a lot of people do not understand what a qualifier is in a sentence. Qualifiers and intensifiers are words or phrases that are added to another word to modify its meaning, either by limiting it (He was somewhat busy) or by...

    A Day in the Life.

    This was prompted by a reply in another thread asking what atheists talked about in the DIR and it got me thinking how does our non belief actually works in our daily lives, so here is my day in the life of a non believer. Woke up to sun shining through the window. I did not believe a god had...

    Religion is not funny.

    I always used to think of religion as mildly amusing, if people want to live their lives believing in all sorts of weird and wonderful things, that is fine by me, why should I care? Last night I witnessed a thread develop on here posted by a lady who believes she is being "visited" by a...

    The Words of Jesus.

    Often in debates people write "Jesus says" or "Jesus tells us" but as far as I can see in the bible the only things Jesus wrote are, " " Everything else is what someone else tells us about what Jesus said, often many years after his death and from people who never met him. How much...

    Love thy Neighbour… or not: Christians, but not Atheists, Show High In-Group Favoritism

    Abstract Atheists are among the most disliked groups in America, which has been explained in a variety of ways, one of which is that atheists are hostile towards religion and that anti-atheist prejudice is therefore reactive. We tested this hypothesis by using the 2018 American General Social...

    A Celebration of The Theory of Evolution.

    The Theory of Evolution is accepted as the best way available for us to understand the diversity of life on our planet. It is accepted by 97% of scientists. I am just an atheist, I was taught evolution in O level biology at school and then went on to become an engineer, hardly giving evolution...

    Defend a moral or ethical position you find repugnant.

    This is an idea I had from another thread where I defended on the grounds of free speech a moral argument I find repugnant. I think it is an interesting exercise in trying to understand another's position and therefore understanding your objections to their position. So here is my defence of...

    MP seeks to ban demonstrations outside abortion clinics

    A bill seeking to ban demonstrations outside abortion clinics has been proposed by Labour MP Rupa Huq. Last year, pro-life protesters lost a legal challenge against the UK's first buffer zone implemented around a clinic in Dr Huq's constituency. Ealing Council said a 100-metre exclusion zone...

    Let me introduce myself....

    I do not know a lot. I do not know how life began. I do not know how the universe began. I do not know if there is a god, but I do know that some gods do not exist in the form others claim. I am happy to answer I do not know, its intellectually honest. I take spiritual advice from a talking...
