    Skeptical Perspectives on English Spelling Reform?

    Yeah. I mean collectivised spellings may seem like a good idea but in practise you just end up turning into a Grammar Soviet

    Is occasionalism coherent?

    So we can do away with natural laws and just proclaim God to be the sole arbiter of cause and effect? It might sound nice to the believer, but ultimately it gets us nowhere. What you end up with is a deity that is easily quantified, so indistinguishable from mundane and practical reality that...

    The British Labour party has a new leader

    You've mashed multiple concepts together here without actually addressing the real problem. I honestly don't care how much more those at the top earn compared to those at the bottom, so long as those at the bottom are paid a living wage. I also don't care about golden handshakes and gigantic...

    The British Labour party has a new leader

    This might be helpful: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-34209478 As a bit of live-action comedy it had me going up until this bit: A maximum wage? FFS

    OH BOY!!!! ICR coming to a town near me!!!

    Report them to police. Make sure you play up the "religious extremists out to destroy our way of life" line.

    Whatcha reading at the moment?

    Finished reading both books in the Commonwealth Saga by Peter F. Hamilton. An interesting future human society with wormholes, forcefields, an all-encompassing future internet and...trains. Of course you don't need to build starships if you can travel from planet to planet directly using...

    Evidence for/against YEC

    1. You don't have the word of God, you have the word of some ancient anonymous fallible humans CLAIMING to have transcribed the word of God. Nothing more. 1a. You now need to demonstrate the existence of God, the veracity of the accounts given of Him by these authors etc. Good luck with that...

    Evidence for/against YEC

    How can evolution be true? I mean evolution says we come from rocks that got splashed by water. But we're mostly carbon...water is hydrogen and oxygen, and rocks are mostly silicon...they don't have any carbon in them! Clear proof that an intelligent, carbon-infusing deity (who naturally...

    Kent Hovind is a free man (almost)!

    I don't know, it might be cool to see him back in the saddle, lyin' for jesus with all his might. But after all this time, it might be like watching a band you adored as a kid once they've had time for male-pattern baldness and a slowing metabolism to turn them into sweaty old men.

    What if a god does exist?

    You mean like the book of Job, where Yahweh destroys one of his followers lives basically as a bet with Satan to see how far he can push a guy before their faith breaks? That's pretty much an impression of the main villain from the Saw movies right there... How, if one is omnipotent...

    Political decoder ring

    Depends which south. The north in these parts is a shithole full of defunct mines and factories and full of mustachio'd gingers in shellsuits. So undesirable the Romans built a wall to keep them all out. I just wish they'd built it a few hundred miles further south :P They *do* happen to be...

    When I am old, I only wish to be this awesome

    well, if it's a tank that doesn't have a gun it's not much of a weapon really. Basically it's a glorified tractor :)

    When I am old, I only wish to be this awesome

    Not sure of the law in Germany but in the UK you can own a tank if the gun is decommissioned. I *think* you'd also have trouble making it road-legal, since the treads tend to tear up asphalt quite badly. But if I were this guy and I wanted to challenge the government's claim to ownership of...

    Here is Practical Explanation about Next Life,

    Should be amusing then. It's not too far from the abrahamic faiths really. "Our God is so far beyond you that you can't possibly comprehend him" "Oh but he absolutely detests sexual naughtiness and this long and...oddly specific list of other behaviours, conveniently mirroring the mores of...
