Re: Charlie Hebdo

Plenty of evil has been committed by people who happen to tangentially be atheists (Hitler, Stalin etc). Is anyone responsible more evil in history than these 2? How do you know that their atheism was unrelated to their murderous tendencies? However, plenty of evil has also been committed by people...

http://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2013/06/the-gay-guide-to-wedded-bliss/309317/3/ The question of whether gays and lesbians will change marriage, or vice versa, is at its thorniest around sex and monogamy. Private behavior could well stay private: when she studied marriage in the Netherlan...

Re: Charlie Hebdo

I have yet to encounter a mob of atheists who have set out to kill large numbers of people solely because they are not atheists. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persecution_of_Falun_Gong Foreign observers estimate that hundreds of thousands and perhaps millions of Falun Gong practitioners have been de...

Re: Charlie Hebdo

I don't get the overbearing Dawkins thing myself. Yes, he can come across a bit smug, but that is hardly the worst thing in the world. I've heard Dawkins being interviewed many times. One time in particular sticks in my memory. It was on a BBC radio program where alongside him a woman with christia...

Re: Charlie Hebdo

I detest anything being shoved down my throat .... including atheism! Overbearing atheists like Dawkins remind me of this famous quote from the 1800s. "The advancement of the arts, from year to year, taxes our credulity and seems to presage the arrival of that period when human improvement mus...

Re: Ulster, Pro 12, Ap and Top 14 Standard ...

Another argument in favour of a single round of games in the pro12 is that 4 times as many pro12 players are called away for international duty as happens in the prl or the top14 with the consequent knock on effect on the standard of the league at those times. So more of an argument in limiting for...

Re: Charlie Hebdo

Devout people take their religion seriously and are usually among the best citizens a country can have. Evidence please. What are you, a doubting Thomas? Since when do people ask for 'evidence' here?
