interesting debate between lawrence krauss and greg epstein.. watch the debate on al-jazeera.. what do you think?.
eden.
Good debate. I think LC's final sentence says it all, we should respect people but don't have to respect silly ideas. There is a danger that we could burn bridges by being too critical and in order to fight extremism we need to work with moderate religious influencers.
The truth is most of the conflict isn't due to the words of confrontational atheists, but due to the actions of political leaders.
as the title says--i'm out of here for good.. the site is full of atheists, communists, 7th day adventists, creationists, believers, deceivers, receivers, football supporters,.
dodgy types, cantleave---and assorted wankers.. so no place for me--because i'm none of the above so dont fit in.
so--this is goodbye forever my friends--its been almost average knowing you.
Given many subsequent posts by this same poster, I think we can safely say we don't need to take this seriously. Sorry to be so blunt but have lost credibility.
Sorry to be blunt but Malc was taken the piss out of you
this site is such a great and valuable resource and simon is to be commended for running it for so long.
when i first came i was in such a bad state and really needed support and friendship.
so many posters commented on my threads and showed genuine care some are real life friends, some are facebook friends, some i talk to on the phone and some are forum friends.. i have just realised though that everyone online is not your friend.
Angus you are like an online elder .....
Bloody hell, there's a back handed compliment

Hey! I may be dodgy but resent being lumped in with "assorted wankers".......I'm a very special type of wanker.
since i'm only an "inactive", i still have plenty of jw friends on facebook and instagram.
here's a few samples of what they are posting regarding the remain loyal to jehovah conventions (note some of my friends are spanish speakers):.
what an amazing fulfilling day with these people .
Bloody Hell The Pompey News - it must be true
science imo does not have all the answers.
when i discover gaps in science, it's easy for me, as a temporary measure to fill in the gaps with god.
i do this until i have learnt something new.. what about you?
My position was the same :)
on a road trip with my jw dad and stopped at the rest stop.
this jw lady walked up to me with a craptower.
big mistake.
It's unusual for them to approach anyone these days, they just stand near to (not even next to) their cult carts and chat to each other about last night's TV shows.
if god is the creator, who created god or how did he evolve?.
I have photographic evidence
if god is the creator, who created god or how did he evolve?.
If god exist outside our universe and space and and time do not apply, then she can't exist - because existence requires time - you can't exist for zero seconds.
if god is the creator, who created god or how did he evolve?.
He started as one simple speghetti hoop which unlooped to form a string. This string then split multiple times to form HIS body. It remains a mystery as to how the meatballs evolved.
The question is ......where did the original hoop come from?
