Poster country flags and privacy

by Simon in

the new forum originally had a little country flag next to each post showing the country that the post was made from based on the geoip encoding (the country the ip address is from).

before i switched over to the new site someone made an issue about it violating their privacy and i didn't want to complicate and confuse the switchover with policy debate at the same time as technical issues so removed the flags even though i disagreed.. someone has already requested it as a feature and i think it should be added back so i thought it's now time to open the discussion and get everyone's opinions.

first, the reason i think it should be shown:.

It was not an ultimatum... you asked about our opinion and I tried to convey it as well as how important I felt it was and a suggestion for adding the feature. I would hate to leave. Sorry on mobile device.

You seem pretty settled on this issue. Please make it an option, I will have to leave the site if it is not.

The best book on biblical archaeology I've ever read

by marmot in

i'm referring to "the bible unearthed : archaeology's new vision of ancient isreal and the origin of its sacred texts" by israel finkelstein and neil asher silberman.

i think it should be required reading for anyone who deigns to defend the historicity and literal interpretation of the bible.

(i'm looking at you singlecell).

This is an excellent book; really a bit of a archeological page-turner. I would recommend this for anyone who is interested in how well archeology supports the pre-babylonian OT narrative.

Why Do Atheists Struggle So Much Against God Who Supposedly Doesn't Exist?

by Perry in

an athist made this casual statememt on another thread:.

this would suggest to me that there are at least some atheists that do have consistant beliefs.. .

as an atheist, how could he possibly trust the reason that suggests this to himself?

Mormons getting hollowed out: The tipping point has occurred.

by Qcmbr in

ever since mitt romney turned the spotlight on the lds church a growing tsunami of disaffection has been accelerated and brought to a head.. the lds core faithful members are leaving in increasing numbers such that growth has not simply stagnated in the west but it has actively reversed.

to their credit the church is responding aggressively but not only is it too late, it is an impossible task.

you can only paint sh*t so many ways.
