She was on the cover of the first Penthouse magazine I ever owned. So many wonderful memories....

Deadwood.

Black Ops pulled in over $1 billion in revenues so they aren't the stupid ones. It's the millions who keep buying the same game over and over again.

I actually commend the Catholic Church for adhering to its traditions and customs. I don't agree with any of it, but I respect that they are consistent and will not waiver based on popular demands and what's trendy. I would think that someone who considers themself Catholic would embrace or at...

Ahh fuck! My weakness for chicks with blue hair with be the death of me yet.

I think I understand your position and agree that we'll never have 100% certainty in understanding anything. Yes, there could be "intelligent gravity" but science has a very good understanding of how gravity works through many independent lines of investigation, experimentation and prediction...

So are you claiming that personal revelation is a reliable way to determine what is true? If someone claims to know something with absolute certainty through personal experiences, should others accept that claim as being true just at face value? I don't doubt the sincerity or honesty of the...

I don't know. But if you claim to have knowledge about how life initially came to be or even how the universe appeared, please share.

(Great post by the way, thanks for taking the time to write it). I think we can both agree that no one knows with a high level of certainty as to how or why the universe came to be. Science continues to explore that question and maybe one day we'll have a good answer, but then again maybe we'll...

Please don't tell me that you are seriously using the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics as evidence for a God. I thought Creationists finally gave up that argument a decade or so ago. I implore you to please read up on the rebuttals to the Second Law argument...

I agree with most of your post and while hypothetically there might be a thing as "absolute truth", I don't think humans possess the capacity (either biologically or through technology) to determine anything with 100% certainty. But there are degrees of certainty and the burden of proof lies...

Not to be nitpicky on definitions (going back to Grad's point), but agnosticism has to do with lack of knowledge and atheism/theism has to do with belief. There are agnostic theists and agnostic atheists (like myself), but identifying yourself as just "agnostic" says nothing about what you...

Very well then, the same can be said for the terms "religion" and "God" which are usually defined differently by each believer. But that still doesn't relieve someone who is proposing a belief (whether it be that the sun is the center of the solar system, that Bigfoot exists or that there is a...

As it's been said before, extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence and references to ancient manuscripts or personal revelation would not constitute "sufficient" to any skeptical rational person.

Nah, the difference is that my beliefs can change based on new evidence. I fully admit that if sufficient evidence were provided, I would believe that a God exists. How many theists can admit that they could hypothetically be convinced (with sufficient evidence and argument) that a God doesn't...

No, our views are not equally valid. Believing that something is true based on "faith" or some gut feeling or personal revelation is not equivalent to a belief based on empirical evidence. How have you become "more certain" that there is a Higher Power. Why do you believe that?

Most atheists lack a belief in God not because there is suffering in the world but because there isn't sufficient evidence to believe a God exists.

What number is that on "Top 100 Reasons Why Facebook Sucks"?

So essentially Christians have been migrating from more traditional churches and sects to non-denominational megachurches that have more of a modern interpretation of the Bible. But still the overall trend is that fewer people identify themselves as Christian and more are becoming non-religious...
