Being a humanist myself I find Ricky's tweet quite good. However, lots of things are done by bad people using religion as an excuse and that poor girl being shot is an example of this.

She said she takes reassurance in attending church. I think it's pretty arrogant to interpret that how you would like to see it. Ultimately Christians believe if you don't accept JC and don't repent you will suffer in eternal hell and that to me reeks of pomposity and arrogance and is the main...

Why does there have to be more to it? That's what you get out of it, she may get another thing out of it. As reasoned as you are and clearly an intelligent person it still boils down to what most religious followers are "It's my way or eternal damnation and pits of flames and don't you damn well...

Well you see, at some point a genetic mutation would have occurred, as they do today, where a lizards limb was a fraction closer to a wing, this would have given them some kind of advantage, a longer stride, or a a higher perspective maybe and they would have been more succesful in mating thus...

Well put

Quite. If it's good it seems to be God's wonderful work. If it's bad it's the result of free will, how wonderfuly blameless he is.

In the sense that a lot of scientists hold the view that actually it takes such a rarely found, delicate balance of elements to support life, possibly earth being the only place life exists that humans and other life on earth are actually vastly important and hugely significant.

I think many peopple, including me would disagree strongly with that sentence.

Well, how convenient!

It's such a cop-out of life to just blindly believe in God's plan etc. Take some responsibility for your own actions. And as for what the real universe is made of it'svery easy to look up, whats less easy is to find out how God would have made it, I'm assuming he conjured it up out of dreams and...

We are here because we are here. We can make of our lives and our world what we wish and that is the beauty, the reason if you like.

That really would take too long to explain fully. Someone posted a rather good lecture on here earlier that will try and expalin it better than I could. I doubt you will bothet though. I mean why take a look at the facts when you've got JC and The Man?

Um, there is very stromng evidence that we came from sea dwelling organisms. You need to explain your argument more thoroughly. It may seem to back up your argument by saying the word fish over and over but it makes you look a bit daft. Fish and ourselves, and indeed all species share a common...

You are too narrow minded to realise that the fact that evolution exists and the wonder of nature and the big bang are miraculous in themselves and don't need a God to explain them. In fact it shows zero respect for nature and the universe. Man annoys me so much, always trying to stamp our...

I'm aware it is a theory,my point was it isn't "Just" theory. It has been proven many times over.

Then proceed at will!

You could (and we have) argue this point for eternity. Why anyone bothers I do not know. Religious types rarely ever see sense and non-religious types will never agree to this ninsense. You're wasting your time.

Nonsensical Christian claptrap entirely designed to give the appearance of reason. Totally contradictory, a huge theme in religious belief. Faith with room for doubt? Hells Bells and buckets of blood, whatever next? "I believe this bit but not this bit and I have faith but entertain doubt"...

Christians and their concept of sin. Hypocrtical, pompous and pious in the extreme. But as pointed out, this has been discussed many times before and has always come out in favour of science and the non-religious.

And herein lies the fundamental problem with religion, especially Christianity. In basic terms, they make up this shite as they go along to fit in with their lifestyle. Thisis why it's not taken seriously in the Western world anymore. We evolved.
