Atheism

So who would YOU hire if you were a boss, the Christian or the atheist?
Remember, your ass is on the line if your business fails and you and your family are plunged onto the breadline, so it's in your interest to hire only the best employees you can get..
-----------------------------------------------------

Rome, where in this world do you live? A good business owner will hire the best qualified which has nothing to do with the
applicant's religion or politics.

Grow up!

Oh, you poor people who need a place to talk!

And terrible people like me are stopping you from doing so.

Like I said: Grow up!

You will not find one post where I ask anyone for that kind of proof, Hingehead...and if you look, you will find hundreds where I state without equivocation that I NEVER ask for proof in those instances.

Your comment: "Because you endlessly make an untestable proposal that hinges on the word 'possible'. I have asked you repeatedly to prove that the moon is not possibly made of orange juice. You have been unable or unwilling to, thus IT IS POSSIBLE THE MOON IS MADE OF ORANGE JUICE.
I haven't posted this anywhere near as often as you post your 'prove there is no possibility of god' notion. To me there is a perfect parallel. And if you can't see it in your heart of hearts I am saddened."...

...is complete nonsense...and if you had any integrity at all, you would acknowledge that it is.

In any case, when an assertion is made with which I disagree, I do ask for evidence if it is available.

What evidence do you have that there is no possibility of a GOD?

I am in no corner, Hingehead. You may want to picture me there, but I am not. I do find it amusing that you have to pretend that is what is happening.

Another sad voice heard from. Anyone who sees me as flip-flopping really has a problem.

Give it up, frank. You flunked Logic 101 a long time ago.

Nope, I passed every philosophy course I ever took.

EB, please let us know how your work situation turns out.

But what if both the christian and the atheist had exactly the same paper qualifs?
A christian motto is- "There is no more noble occupation in the world than to assist another human being, to help someone succeed"- Alan Loy McGinnis (1933-2005)
Remember, if your business goes bust, you go stand in the dole queue and your family go hungry, so wouldn't having a christian on your team be a good business move?

I will know something by noon today. If I can get through the trolls to make a post about actual atheism.

Then why don't you osso? As an atheist I would myself but I fear it would be too much for respectable members of the lower middle class to bear.

I agree with the bulk of the Church's teachings on sexual morality not because the Church teaches them but because they are good for women. Which is why I think the Church teaches them.

I have posted 4 quotes recently from 3 lady writers, the last one was Muriel Spark, and all 4 were thumbed down.

The question I asked about whether we atheists desire an atheist society has gone unanswered on numerous occasions.

That, and the inability to deal with Apisa's obviously irrefutable position, suggests to me that the atheists on here, apart from me, are suffering a loss of nerve. Setanta's continuous and pointless bleating about trolls is a case in point. As is Edgar's refusal to make any point at all. hinge makes no point either.

I think any woman who shows up in mixed company in fetching attire is self-evidently sexually frustrated and being a humane person as I am I have often felt it a duty to do something about it if required. To at least offer. Does anybody object to that?

I think sex lessons in schools, if they exist at all, should consist of porn movies and discussions concerning them. What actually happens as I understand it signifies a loss of nerve of gigantic proportions.

I think you would all be a lot better off if you read the best known women writers a lot more. The ones who wrote from the heart I mean. Not the wood pulp sales promoters.

You're all misogynists at heart using atheism to try to justify what needs no justification. All 9 of the jurists in Roe/Wade were men. Jane Austen wouldn't read a book written by a man. She didn't say they were bullshit but that is what she meant.

The idea that being against abortion is proof of Christian bigotry is strictly for the yikkle kiddies. Ovid shat on abortion goodstyle. And he was no Christian. Not by a long way.

And as for whether there is a God or not is a form of hubris well into madness. Stare at a fixed point in the blue sky for an hour.

Read his I Think thread. Don't try to ingratiate yourself with Ed if you are not up for that you patronising troll.

Would the world be a better place if atheists were in charge? How would they run it? For examp would they burn all religious books and convert all churches and mosques into bowling alleys?

PS- Re edgar blythe, he called me "Pissolini" and put me on ignore because he obviously like to stew in his own little world. Good, it means now i can talk about him behind his back..

This question is par with atheism being a belief.

Atheists, in general, don't have an agenda as to implement an atheist society.

Their main goal is not allowing religiously marked brands of superstition to shove their snake oil down their throat.

Now, that a religion is needed to maintain the society is a state of ignorance, it's a verifiable fact.

The religions push it so far as the believers are happy without tasting the fruit of the knowledge tree.

That episode was written with a purpose..

It escapes me what it was tim.

Then I'd employ the best. Religion doesn't come into it.

Keep dancing your little dance frank. I directly quoted one of your posts in which you challenge the validity of an assertion on ID by saying that the asserter can only assert ID doesnt exist by 'knowing' god doesn't exist. Do you deny that's an explicit requirement for proof of god's non-existence?

HERALD, Id like to continue the discussion that we are at loggerheads about (How do we establish BULK dat for things like Atmospheric gases--its quite simple really).
However, I feel that Ive pissed off the inmates here. If you start a thread Ill join in.
Frank, Im done with you, your attitude of having stumbled over some precious pice of inanity aint worth discussing further. My position is established and if you have trouble understanding , don't just keep repeating your bumper sticker as if its something you've derived. Your whole point has been the center of the various state proposals and court cases, you've found nothing that we don't already know. DO YOU EVEN GET THAT POINT?
As far as "ID is the way a god would proceed" is as silly as arguing that ID is a valid scientific pursuit. I leave you (again) having been ucked into trying to talk sense to you and being dismissed for it. You need some education on ID and its framework from 1802 to present. Its fascinating if you take some time.

As for the rest of you, I ask sincerely . IS it too hard to talk around someone or can you only maintain one thought in your brain?

You are giving atheism bad rap by not being inclusive.
OK IM GONE.
