Yep, I don't know the song so I just dug it up on YT, and I have no idea what the fuck he's trying to say. That said, it's worth having a look at Know Your Meme, which kinda takes the fun out of this sort of thing. To add to the de-funning process, I'd just like to point out that a song has...

It may be. I'll wait a while (perhaps Owens can't get online until the evening), but he hasn't sent anything to me yet.

The wee lad DMCA'd me too, for the same video. I've counterclaimed, but nothing back yet. I mentioned in the "message to complainant" section that I shall forward all communication from him to my legal representatives and that I'll act only on their advice.

You may as well ask what happens when an irresistible force meets an immovable object. Since I cannot conceive of a universe in which both can exist (on a good day, I can't even distinguish one from the other), the outcome of the two gods' quarrel is: an inconceivable event. YMMV, of course.

Question our need to question what? Me, I want to know about things. I know a fair bit about astronomy, but this knowledge won't improve my life, except insofar as I like to know stuff. Who are you to choose what a blind person might like to know about, or to determine the value knowledge of the...

I reckon Peter Jackson could do a decent job of it, except it'd be in at least fifteen 3-hour parts. It'd be ok if he did it in Braindead style rather than LotR style. Given that in the Bible, God kills a couple of million people and Satan kills ten people, it'd be hard to portray Satan as the...

My belief in God helps me feel good about myself and helps me conform to what I perceive to be the expectations of my immediate community. Refute that, if you can.

Re: Is banning the Bhurka the same as arresting suntanned wo Giliell, it isn't about forcing women to undress. It's about allowing women to choose how to dress.

Would I do it to my children? No. Whilst I broadly agree that piercing an infant's ears is not a particularly smart thing to do, and any professional ear-piercer should refuse to do the job, it is not comparable to rape or murder, and it isn't the worst thing parents could do to a child to...

Go and see a doctor. Durakken, I know you and I have our moments of friction. Please forget that. A couple of years ago, I found a small lump in my eye socket, between eyeball and bridge of nose. I left it, hoping it would go away. It didn't go away - it grew. It turned out to be lymphoma...

Hi and welcome, Worldquest. Yay, more hippies! I've not read other responses given here, as I don't want them to influence what I say. Apologies for any repetition. Like most atheists, I don't have an active belief that there is no god, I simply don't have an active belief that there is a god...

No, I didn't see that but it's interesting. It's worth noting that the Telegraph is owned by the famous, wealthy, reclusive and somewhat eldrich Barclay twins, who are Catholics. The paper is unlikely to be critical of the church, but it's also possible that the twins have critical opinions...

Durakken, perhaps nobody corrected me because I don't need to be corrected. If I ask a question based on an assertion you make and then I find your response to be unsatisfactory, that doesn't make me a troll. Perhaps your definition of "troll" is "someone who disagrees with Durakken". If so, so...

I'm not sure about that. If I were omnipotent and I wanted people to tell me how groovy I am, I'd make damn sure nobody had any doubt at all that I exist.

Yes, I assume I'm not getting caught and punished - that's why I choose easy targets. Everybody else in society may find mugging old ladies to be outrageous and unacceptable - it doesn't follow that simply because I get away with it, people will copy me. Very interesting. Now would you like to...

While I've said all I have to say about the topic, I want to know how you think this makes any sense at all: If I habitually mug old ladies and steal their money, that benefits me. How does it benefit society? If a god is omnipotent, how can anybody do anything that will benefit that god?

Here's where the problem lies: There is pain and suffering in the world because people don't go to God for help? I've not taken my car to a mechanic for repair for many years - not because it hasn't needed any repair, but because I do all the repairs myself. There's a subtext to the...

I'm just trying to figure how this would fit in the "Proofs of God's Existence" format. Is it like this:

Re: Wiccan wife and Irreligious husband. Help me make her th Hi, anon1986sing. I'm an atheist and I was in a relationship with a, well, she didn't call herself Wiccan, I think it was more Pagan. It seemed to me to be a hotch-potch cherry-picked belief system with an answer for absolutely...
