Twilight: I will!
Just being religious, or irreligious in nature causes down votes.
Thank ye very much, good sir.
Except if the halo is meant to be the ironic joke.
Apatheism.
And this is NOT the kind of thing most parents would want to expose their children to.
I’m okay with that.
Well, yeah. Twilight lives in a whole other universe, where different rules apply. There’s really no telling how she’d react in this world.
I get what you’re saying, now.
“Being arrogant is not being an asshole. Being arrogant is perfectly okay if you’re right or at least have good reason.”
Not really.
But Dawkins isn’t religious
Far more well versed than I. I shall be going to bed as well. Nice talking with you.
I live it, it’s my second major. Most of my Twilight’ish library is also dedicated to philosophy. Kant, Hume, Voltaire, Aristotle, Nietzsche, Paine, Hobbes, Pascal(whom I want to dig up and punch), Amery, Dawkins, Hitchens, Machiavelli…and that’s just the ones I can see on the second shelf by turning my chair around.
Anyway, I believe I’m heading to bed. It’s 2:18 and I have classes at 10.
I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt that you’re just tired. I said theism was stupid. Not that theists are stupid.
Thanks to my philosophy classes I have logic and theism on my mind 24/7, frankly it drives me insane but I (and you as I can tell, you as well) probably have thought about it more then most people will ever do. It’s a sad thing really.
Galileo was a Catholic. Ironically, we was under house arrest by Catholics. Gregor Mendel was a monk. Darwin died an agnostic (not an atheist), but not because of his theory of evolution.
You labeled theists as “stupid”.
He’s not referring to the people so actually he’s not generalizing. He’s calling the concept, one thing, stupid. Technically an opinion but not a generalization.
There are scientists who are theists, not many but they exist. On the opposite side of the coin, theists told us the earth was at the center of the universe…so just fixing a screw up I guess?
(I like the show xD )
