Smiley Pet Goo: Mutually Exclusive rights
http://www.nobelief.net/2014/05/mutually-exclusive-rights.html
Topics of Religion, Science and Epistemology. Sunday, May 4, 2014. The Constitution is more than what's written in the Constitution. We have in our midst "Constitutional Originalists", who don't like where the country has gone, and want to return to its roots. For instance, why do we operate on this "wall of separation between church and state", when it's not literally. I can agree with one point - I think the default interpretation of any text is the literal interpretation. That includes the Bible.

Smiley Pet Goo: An atheist's take on Easter
http://www.nobelief.net/2014/04/an-atheists-take-on-easter.html
Topics of Religion, Science and Epistemology. Sunday, April 20, 2014. An atheist's take on Easter. From those who I know, who celebrate this particular holiday, Good Friday was met with comments like, " It's a day of sorrow and gratitude". I find the attitude bizarre. Have these people even thought about the doctrine they're embracing? God created a place that's basically a paradise - Heaven (God himself, supposedly, wouldn't need such a place, so he would have created it for others). God, apparently, st...

Topics of Religion, Science and Epistemology. Friday, June 20, 2014. I'd dig my way out with a spoon! So, just out of curiosity, what happens if you die and in a crazy plot twist, you find out these "crazy Christians" were actually right [about hell]? I'm frequently amazed by how many people buy into Pascal's Wager. that somehow hedging my bets against a bizarre set of assumed criteria is somehow a good thing. Well, I'll tell you what I'd do. What do you want from me? What if they're right? Why is an inv...

Smiley Pet Goo: Idiotically Obscured Scientific Publications
http://www.nobelief.net/2014/04/idiotically-obscured-scientific.html
Topics of Religion, Science and Epistemology. Tuesday, April 22, 2014. Idiotically Obscured Scientific Publications. I've been working on a project regarding anthropogenic global warming, and am hunting around for actual legitimate scientific research on the matter. That's dumb. This is holding us back as a civilization. Whatever operating costs the journals have should be publicly subsidized, and everything made readily publicly available. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). An atheists take on Easter.

Smiley Pet Goo: No one tell Ken Ham
http://www.nobelief.net/2014/06/no-one-tell-ken-ham.html
Topics of Religion, Science and Epistemology. Wednesday, June 18, 2014. No one tell Ken Ham. The science channels have been awash with reports of an " underground ocean 3x the volume of the surface oceans. First - it's sort of bunk. They're not talking about water, but " hydroxyls. A "different form of water". Though, that's not what I'm here to talk about. When I heard this, my immediate thought was, " Ken Ham will love this. And he'll just see this as being consistent with the story. No one tell Ken Ham.

http://www.nobelief.net/2014_02_01_archive.html
Topics of Religion, Science and Epistemology. Sunday, February 23, 2014. But I didn't actually do the research. Weve recently had a mostly non-religious, liberal Christian poking us with a stick.
