Well, it's an interesting question. I was more wondering how the poem you wrote relates to it though? But I don't believe they are the same. Writing involves style: you intend to say something and to...

I'm not entirely sure what it is you mean, cacian?

We all know Kafka, and not a small few of us know all about Pessoa, or Bruno Schulz; but it seems to me that a lot of the European artists get ignored here after the death of Tolstoy; not counting UK...

Your claims about quantum mechanics have been refuted numerous times by posters far more knowledgeable about the subject than you multiple times.



That's because everyone else has realized...

Than you need to do a lot more thinking.

Exactly my point. Isolated networks at best. No overarching structure. Plenty (probably a majority even amongst those who are "out") of independents, as in my opinion it should always be.

For some reason many have trouble realizing that atheism is not a united movement. One atheist has no connections for another; they are not in the grand scale united and are not part of a world-wide...

If you had read my post properly you would know that I said that theism does not prevent genocide, not that it causes them.

Theism demonstrably does not prevent genocide. See Armenia for instance. As for doing your best not to be an atheist, that shows some "self-righteousness" in itself.

We've already established that being "consistent" with something does nothing to prove a connection. I also notice that, in your mention of my "version of atheism" that you seem to have assumed I am...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philosophic_burden_of_proof Since you are making the positive claim it is you who have to provide evidence.

There's a reason why Stalinism and Maoism are regarded as...

I'm not sure what you are trying to prove. If, as you admit, correlation has no bearing on causation, than atheism being "consistent" with genocide (and why not try to prove that?) has no impact...

Have fun.

If Pol Pot's killings came from a "deification of reason", why did he target intellectuals specifically? That is something that sounds more likely if he was killing for reasons to do with Communism.

Why does he (Hemingway) say that "All thinking men are atheists" than?

Religious leaders did not have any direct control over the populations at that point, as you well know.

Now: you say, atheist regimes killed such and such amount of people. Therefore, atheism...

And you would be wrong. For example, Hemingway: "[Hemingway] did not only not believe in God but regarded organized religion as a menace to human happiness… [he] seems to have been devoid of the...

Foolish argument; that's because:

a) the number of people in the world was much greater by the time atheists had control of any state.

b) the methods of mass murder were far more advanced.

YesNo, that's one of the smartest things posted yet in one of these asinine threads. A deft and simple look at how perceiving someone's beliefs as being opposed to one's own leads to the use of the...

A Game of Pool with Wolf Larson (and a twenty-hundred year old transsexual): an Oedipus piece that makes too much sense.

Yes, it is.

Very.

This is where you should have finished the post.

That's a fallacious argument.

I'd rather watch an episode of "Fawlty Towers" than a season of "Breaking Bad"
