http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KAvDtPz33w0 I stopped counting after a few minutes, but there are a lot of logical fallacies in this rant. What imperfections can you identify in it? EDIT: Sorry for the delay, Zebra. I do occasionally tear myself from answers to attend to other matters. Billy did...

Are all the gods in the pantheon actually creations of man? Actually, the answer might surprise you. In a word- Yes. All of the gods from every civilization are all made up by creative, desperate people. That is, gods, with a miniscule letter "g." In utter ignorance, people have hastily...

Flying Spaghetti Monster. Flying Garlic Bread Monster. Sleeping Beauty. Unicorns. Leprechauns. Pixies. Peter Pan. The Tooth Fairy. Santa Claus. The Easter Bunny. Dragons. Etc. ? It's just odd to me- people are swift to point out logical fallacies that Theists commit- but they seem to turn a...

I am trying to make some drastic improvements in my life. I am seeing a therapist, taking meds, attending college, and working part time. I happen to have obsessive compulsive disorder, as well. I don't want to rely on the OCD as a crutch or an excuse for failure or indolence, but I have often...

All right. So when you're going to use the bathroom, you're "Russian." When you leave the bathroom, you're American. So what are you while you're in the bathroom? "European." EDIT: Well, telling this joke only actually works if you tell it to an American person. Sorry about that! : )

Someone asked about how Christians view animals. Here is that question: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AsRIfpYk8yxNP_8NjDWuFO7sy6IX;_ylv=3?qid=20111221213523AAXpHTs Can you develop a convincing argument that proves that humans are more important than the "lower" animals? I would...

People have used the Bible to justify slavery, but that's not God's fault. You have to understand something- in Biblical times, slavery was quite different than it is today. It wasn't based on race. Whenever slavery has been based upon race, it has ended. God doesn't approve of race based...

the irreligious are healthier? Do you contend that religion is a mental disease or illness? Okay. If you believe that, does that mean that atheists or other non-religious people are mentally healthier than believers? Prove it.

I asked a question pertaining to evolution and Creationism a few days ago. I got a variety of responses, many of which were intriguing. Here is the question: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AkFk7GA_h_3jbMTZ23jfWYHsy6IX;_ylv=3?qid=20100311104138AAoyPqw One salient response was the...

Is it impossible to be religious, but not brainwashed? What makes you think so? It seems as though some atheists equate the religious and the faithful with brainwashing. Why is that? Of course, there are some cults who brainwash people. It happens all the time. Does that mean that if someone...

I understand that if you support evolution, you may consider I.D. supporters to be your nemeses. Please don't think that way for the next few minutes. If you enjoy science, then you know how valuable objectivity is, and how essential it is to science. Please remain objective as you read my...

Anything is possible. Ergo, it is possible that I and my fellow believers- the billions of us- have been brainwashed. Do you think that in terms of probability, that it is likely that all of us have been brainwashed? Think outside the box for a moment about this. How does someone perform a...

Let's say that the store is a small retail store like a drug store. What are the most valuable items in the store? What would you grab first? What are the items that are the smallest, but most valuable?

It just seems like a whole lot of people keep getting their panties all up in a bunch...people apparently think it's not okay to question authority. Are you one of them? Well, if that makes you feel safe, I guess continue to feel that way. If you want to be incredibly naive, go for it. If you...
