Re: Religious Crackpot of the Month: March 2009
Really makes you want to weep! It just illustrates the difficulty we have in discussing matters logically with people for whom the answer is always, "It's God's will". God trumps logic, evidence and common sense. When the facts don't fit their vision of things, well, it's just God's will. He never s...

Re: Do you ever go to church?
I try to avoid christenings but really it's about the people involved and respecting them. I do have some religious friends and I would attend church for one of their family ceremonies. They know that I think it's rubbish but despite our differing opinions about religion, we get on well and I think ...

Re: Room 101
Grocer's apostrophes (already nominated!) People who park a car in the middle of a space that can take two. People who drop litter. Loud, opinionated people (unless I agree with them :hilarity: ) People who swear in the presence of their young children. Politicians that don't answer the question (th...

Re: Nurse may face sack for prayer offer to patient
This the type of stuff that helps to get atheism a bad name. I don't really think she should be doing this but a quiet word rather than the disciplinary process is surely more appropriate. On the other hand, these situations are often blown up by Christians precisely in order to make atheists appear...
