    Atheism certainty

    I think that's because the possible gods are merely notions and an infinite number of imaginable gods can be forwarded. If imagined then they are zero by proxy even before the calculations have begun. The premise destroys the outcome of anything else. These are Thought Experiment in the first...

    'Next' Letter

    Thanks Andi. I sent the letter off. I doubt I'll get any reply. At least I have done the right thing. One can always hope for a positive outcome.

    'Next' Letter

    Well the new issue came out today and I am certainly correct in my assessment of the problem. Here's the response I have drafted What do you think?

    'Next' Letter

    true, but not before the restoration. One of the first was Aphra Behn who didn't have to disguise her gender, but her identity because she was a spy! All that started decades after Shakespeare's death.

    'Next' Letter

    y Like any conspiracy it is deep and twisted in its tale. The world was fine with the man from Stratford having written the plays until about 200 years ago or so. Round about the time it was becoming obvious that the Shakespeares were from Catholic families with contentious relatives etc. At...

    'Next' Letter

    The last time I wrote him was about a year or so after that first letter. It was a brief postcard if I recall reading some thing like, "You may not know anything about Shakespeare, but you sure know how to make comics. Issue #?? was a masterpiece ..." He did not reply, but seemed to like the...

    'Next' Letter

    I guess I would hope that the issue might make it to the letters page of the comic where the rationalist response may be at least raised rather than an unfortunate reader be beset by the conspiracy and accept it as factual. The information in your quote is largely accurate.

    'Next' Letter

    I recognised the quote in his work which he specifically credited to the Earl. It was used outside the story line. It was a quotation chosen to punctuate the telling of the story. It was a quotation which was well used, intended to evoke something compelling to the story, BUT it had been...

    'Next' Letter

    Sorry, I guess I had assumed that everyone was familiar with the 'authorship' debate. The basic premise is that Shakespeare was not the actual author of the works commonly attributed to him. That he didn't have the education, political savvy, connections etc. to have been so competent. Over the...

    'Next' Letter

    In John Byrne's 1994 Next Men #26, the author intentionally misassigns a Shakespeare quote to Edward DeVere in obvious support for his candidate in the 'Alternative Authorship "Controversy" '. A Richard III quote I believe. As some may be aware, a decade after it's cliff hanger ending we are now...

    Capitalism

    Moving the goal post I see. Workers are subject to the caprice of the owner. Physics is not economics as evolution is not cosmology. I'm not going to keep this up with you. You don't get it. That's fine. It seldom is, but I still employ it from time to time.
