The skulls over the gate are part of the decor. okasha Jul 2014 #21

tone trolling. When done to women it is one of the many symptoms of misogyny. Warren Stupidity Jul 2014 #74

Sorry but both sides alert. hrmjustin Jul 2014 #87

I think I can speak for the other hosts Goblinmonger Jul 2014 #22

It is not odd at all. Mariana Jul 2014 #69

You mean keeping it up as a reminder? hrmjustin Jul 2014 #79

So Carl Sagan was famous and he had a PhD, so he couldn't possibly be wrong? skepticscott Jul 2014 #30

I have an honest question. hrmjustin Jul 2014 #31

Sorry, that's not an honest question. It was answered many times in that thread, and you know that. skepticscott Jul 2014 #32

I didn't read the thread because it did not interest me. I was just wondering. hrmjustin Jul 2014 #33

Because it is insulting Act_of_Reparation Jul 2014 #41

Thank you very much for explaining it to me. hrmjustin Jul 2014 #42

Did you read the thread? AtheistCrusader Jul 2014 #45

Not to me. hrmjustin Jul 2014 #46

The OP starts out by quoting Carl Sagan making an error. AtheistCrusader Jul 2014 #48

But he did say these things? hrmjustin Jul 2014 #49

The quotes in the op? Yes. AtheistCrusader Jul 2014 #50

But if he said it then it is fair game here. hrmjustin Jul 2014 #51

Ah, but then the pearl-clutching when we point out the error, and correctly identify him as an ath AtheistCrusader Jul 2014 #52

This all seems like it can be debated in a reasonable manner. You seem much more knowledgeable on hrmjustin Jul 2014 #53

It was debated. Extensively. AtheistCrusader Jul 2014 #54

Do you object to it being posted? hrmjustin Jul 2014 #55

I object to the material in the post, by the author of the material as disingenious and dishonest. AtheistCrusader Jul 2014 #56

Ok so you disagree with Sagan on the issue and you disagreed with those who agreed with him. hrmjustin Jul 2014 #57

For starters, yes. AtheistCrusader Jul 2014 #59

Thank you for explaining your thoughts. I was trying to get a feel for why that post went downhill. hrmjustin Jul 2014 #60

There is a common gambit used by some believers to frame atheism as a belief system. AtheistCrusader Jul 2014 #62

I don't believe there is a burden on anyone unless you are trying to convert someone. hrmjustin Jul 2014 #63

There is an issue of credibility. AtheistCrusader Jul 2014 #64

Well legal issues are a different storry and proof is important. hrmjustin Jul 2014 #65

This is a political board. AtheistCrusader Jul 2014 #66

Good points. I will catch tomorrow my friend. hrmjustin Jul 2014 #67

Good night. AtheistCrusader Jul 2014 #68

So Carl Sagan was famous and he had a PhD, so he couldn't possibly be wrong? AlbertCat Jul 2014 #92

What's a "degress"? mr blur Jul 2014 #77

It's a piece of paper you get okasha Jul 2014 #85

Sagan's definition of an atheist is quite incorrect. djean111 Jul 2014 #27

One of the two groups you identified has no burden of showing compelling evidence. AtheistCrusader Jul 2014 #47

I know. The need to deposit that burden mystifies me. djean111 Jul 2014 #72

Oh my goodness, I completely misread your post. AtheistCrusader Jul 2014 #80

No, not stupid, your reply makes sense bearing in mind it was not clear I was quoting. djean111 Jul 2014 #86

That's about all you get out of - or contribute to - the Religion Group. rug Jul 2014 #37

yes it is quite ok to personally attack atheists. Warren Stupidity Jul 2014 #81

No we are not. Nice try at broad brushing us Warren. Starboard Tack Jul 2014 #88

Thank you. hrmjustin Jul 2014 #95

Could you clarify okasha Jul 2014 #97

What I've observed is that most people don't truely believe. Rod Beauvex Jul 2014 #38

Got data? okasha Jul 2014 #39

Do you mean that believers have doubts but don't want to say it? hrmjustin Jul 2014 #40

"We do have our doubts and healthy skepticism" EvilAL Jul 2014 #98

No, it is natural for believers to have doubts at times. hrmjustin Jul 2014 #99

Ok, So EvilAL Jul 2014 #100

if someone has doubts I would ask why and listen. hrmjustin Jul 2014 #102

That is a nice thing to do, EvilAL Jul 2014 #104

I would not judge them. they would have to follow their heart. hrmjustin Jul 2014 #106

I don't know if I would call it judging EvilAL Jul 2014 #108

It is insulting to believers as a whole to say most of them don't really believe. hrmjustin Jul 2014 #109

Really have no way of knowing if someone does or doesn't believe anyway. EvilAL Jul 2014 #110

I have no dou t some are going through the motions but I don't think it is a majority. hrmjustin Jul 2014 #111

It probably isn't the majority EvilAL Jul 2014 #112

it implies we are lying. hrmjustin Jul 2014 #113

Only if you take it that way. EvilAL Jul 2014 #114

Having doubts" okasha Jul 2014 #101

No, I don't understand, please give me more examples. EvilAL Jul 2014 #103

So you have doubts about your reading comprehension? okasha Jul 2014 #105

Nah, I'm pretty good with it, EvilAL Jul 2014 #107

Well, this group has many people of many opinions. longship Jul 2014 #71

Digression: Both Bach and Mozart were fervent believers, actually Act_of_Reparation Jul 2014 #76

You are probably right about that. longship Jul 2014 #78
