Answer to Why is toilet paper white? Would you buy it if it was pink, red, black or brown?

Sun, 04 Dec 2011 04:57:42 -0800

Why is toilet paper white? Would you buy it if it was pink, red, black or brown?

I've seen toilet papaer in a variety of pastel shades, green, peach, yellow etc, printed with little designs and even with money style images, but white is cheaper, and considering what it's going to be used for, whether it matches the colour scheme in my toilet is irrelevant. I wouldn't buy...

Answer to Why am I considered a supporter of abuse if I feel a spouse CAN be justified in hitting some cases?

Sat, 03 Dec 2011 07:39:37 -0800

Why am I considered a supporter of abuse if I feel a spouse CAN be justified in hitting some cases?

Because you are supporting abuse, and trying to justify physical violence against someone who has not initiated that violence. Violence in self defence is acceptable, but not desirable, hitting someone to calm them down is counterproductive.

we have evidence that people were recording the phases of the Moon more than 20,000 years ago, from the preserved remains of a piece of bone and a bone knife handle, which each show carved diagrams of the Lunar cycle, there is some debate as to why this was being recorded, whether it was for...

Because some people can't tell the difference between a difference of opinion and an attack on their personal beliefs.

Answer to Did you know that espousal of atheistic views was rare in Europe during the Early Middle Ages and Middle Ages......

Mon, 14 Nov 2011 13:53:40 -0800

Did you know that espousal of atheistic views was rare in Europe during the Early Middle Ages and Middle Ages......

Yes, because it would most likely result in death, as would claiming that the Earth orbits the Sun, or believing in the wrong god, or believing in the right god, but in the wrong way (aka heresy), or simply being accused of being a witch because you were old and owned a cat. The middle ages were...

Answer to What is the likelyhood of a demon returning after it has been cast out?

Mon, 14 Nov 2011 13:46:10 -0800

What is the likelyhood of a demon returning after it has been cast out?

Since believers in demons seldom understand that a demon is a mental illness, and therefore are not able or qualified to treat said illness, it is highly likely to 'return', since iot never actually left in the first place. Demons are a primitive superstition, they are not supported by any...

Answer to Will you perform the Oompah Loompah mating ritual of Satan?

Mon, 14 Nov 2011 13:37:33 -0800

Will you perform the Oompah Loompah mating ritual of Satan?

Why not? I don't get much mating now that I'm married, and it can't be any more ridiculous than pretending bread and wine are flesh and blood like when I took communion, what a rip off, they're not even anything like it!!

Thu, 10 Nov 2011 13:49:06 -0800

No, I've seen no evidence to suggest that any outside agency had a conscious role in the evolution of life on this planet.

Answer to Do you believe in demons?

Tue, 08 Nov 2011 03:13:20 -0800

Do you believe in demons?

No, I believe that so called 'demons' are the misunderstood symptoms of mental illness, which primitive cultures had no way of explaining other than to have a wild guess at, and got it completely wrong.

Answer to If the devil decided to repent, and asked God for forgivness (to turn the other cheek, so to speak),what would be the consequences?

Mon, 07 Nov 2011 13:30:08 -0800

If the devil decided to repent, and asked God for forgivness (to turn the other cheek, so to speak),what would be the consequences?

I'm thinking it would be like Darth Vader making up with Luke Skywalker, fictional.

Answer to Is it blasphemous not to believe in God?

Mon, 07 Nov 2011 13:26:51 -0800

Is it blasphemous not to believe in God?

No, it's foolish to believe in something which believers cannot offer any evidence for whatsoever. The word 'blasphemy' is a way of stigmatising people in an attempt to bully them into believing in what you believe. As are accusations of spiritual corruption, scriptural ignorance, satanism and...

Answer to Do you consider the show "Keep Up With the Kardashians" a true reality show or made for TV unscripted directed show?

Mon, 07 Nov 2011 13:16:18 -0800

Do you consider the show "Keep Up With the Kardashians" a true reality show or made for TV unscripted directed show?

Neither, I consider it to be vacuous rubbish which should be avoided at all costs, and thus cannot offer an opinion on whether it is fake reality or real reality. In either case, it's waste of time and money that could be put to better use helping the needy. But then, religion gets away with it,...

Answer to Do you believe god will take care of the things that we can't do anything about??

Wed, 02 Nov 2011 06:46:16 -0700

Do you believe god will take care of the things that we can't do anything about??

I have no reason to believe he exists, much less what he is able and willing to do on our behalf. I have this crazy obssession with evidence and how there isn't any in favour of any supernatural beings of any kind.

Answer to Evolutionists: If a living organism existed that wasn't the result of evolution by natural selection, would we be able to tell?

Sat, 29 Oct 2011 07:23:21 -0700

Evolutionists: If a living organism existed that wasn't the result of evolution by natural selection, would we be able to tell?

That's a tricky one, although a lack of precursors and a DNA profile which was unrelated to any other species might be one way, or paerhaps a species which bore the words 'made by god' written somewhere on it, like you get with toy animals. Of course, if god was anything other than a delusion,...

Answer to Have you noticed that at times all comments from your questions will disappear then magically re-appear later?

Sat, 29 Oct 2011 07:14:56 -0700

Have you noticed that at times all comments from your questions will disappear then magically re-appear later?

All the time, it's really annoying having to post a single '.' as a comment, then having to edit my comment in response to the previous comment. I also find that when I'm writing a comment, the cursor will disappear or stop flashing until I start typing, which makes editing comments a long...

Answer to After blaming everything from GWB to ATM machines for persistent unemployment, when will Obama admit he's the problem?

Sat, 29 Oct 2011 07:07:24 -0700

After blaming everything from GWB to ATM machines for persistent unemployment, when will Obama admit he's the problem?

Yeah, he went back in time to create a financial crisis, blamed it on the bankers, went forward in time again, then stood for election. Makes perfect sense, GWB was such a great president, and not a gibbering, war mongering moron at all. You may experience nausea from the level of sarcasm in...

Answer to Political speeches. "Current guy is bad...I'm good..vote for me and I'll do good". We vote and they don't do good. Same speechwriters?

Answer to Is San Francisco and Amsterdam todays Sodom and Gomorrah? First ones to burn in the lake of fire!

Sat, 29 Oct 2011 06:50:53 -0700

Is San Francisco and Amsterdam todays Sodom and Gomorrah? First ones to burn in the lake of fire!

Once again, the adherents of an ancient superstition seek to paint everyone else as worse than them, whilst practically admitting to facist principles of supression and dictatorship of minorities who are ostensibly harmless, whilst adding in the old fear of paedophilia card. Prohibition of...

Answer to Is Obama pulling troops out of Iraq just so the bleeding heart liberal socialist communist welfare cheats will vote for him in 2012?

Mon, 24 Oct 2011 14:18:56 -0700

Is Obama pulling troops out of Iraq just so the bleeding heart liberal socialist communist welfare cheats will vote for him in 2012?

No, I think he's doing it because republicans were criticising him for not doing it, now he is doing it, as he said he would during his election campaign, and it's the wrong thing because it's too 'liberal'. In short, unless you're a republican, nothing you do will be right in the eyes of Obamas...

Answer to if god asked u to kill someone would u do it

Mon, 17 Oct 2011 04:06:44 -0700

if god asked u to kill someone would u do it

No, but then if he really were the all powerful creator of the universe, he could either do his own killing, or force me to do it for him, so asking me if I'd do it willingly would be redundant.

Answer to Would you say that you're a little too nice to people? If so, do you like that characteristic about yourself?

Tue, 11 Oct 2011 06:14:19 -0700

Would you say that you're a little too nice to people? If so, do you like that characteristic about yourself?

Yes, I often feel like I'm unable to express myself properly face to face, and try to take the diplomatic route rather than speak my mind. I hate it. I admire Christopher Hitchens' ability to speak his mind clearly and concisely, I keep trying to emulate him, but it barely even works for me in...

Answer to Why do christian theists always picture god as male?

Tue, 11 Oct 2011 06:09:30 -0700

Why do christian theists always picture god as male?

Because the bible was written by misogynists in an era of misogyny, when women were regarded as property first and people second.

Answer to What is the correct color of a halo?

Thu, 06 Oct 2011 02:19:21 -0700

What is the correct color of a halo?

That's like the brown Orcs versus Green Orcs debate that has raged for many a year in the roleplating community. They aren't real, so it doesn't really matter.

Answer to Are you offended by the books people read, the music they listen to, the cars they drive, the movies they see? No? What then?

Thu, 29 Sep 2011 04:45:49 -0700

Are you offended by the books people read, the music they listen to, the cars they drive, the movies they see? No? What then?

I'm offended by people who claim knowledge without evidence, who think that appearance, especially skin colour, is a good way of judging a persons character or intelligence, and by people who assume that their ethnic group, religion or gender is superior to others. In short, stupidity offends me.

Answer to Iranian pastor to be executed for not renouncing Christ .your thoughts on such a 'peace' ?.

Thu, 29 Sep 2011 04:39:55 -0700

Iranian pastor to be executed for not renouncing Christ .your thoughts on such a 'peace' ?.

I'm trying to decide who's dumber, the pastor for not renouncing christ, but keeping his fingers crossed behind his back, or the people putting him to death for not having the same imaginary friend as them. Why can't they find evidence their gods exist first, *then* start arguing about them!

Answer to Can you trace your ancestry back to the days of the "Big Bang"?

Tue, 27 Sep 2011 07:14:10 -0700

Can you trace your ancestry back to the days of the "Big Bang"?

The so called 'big bang' was not the origin of life on this planet, since it occurred over 10 billion years prior to the formation of the Earth. So no, nobody can. Certainly the chemicals that made up the constituent parts of the molecules required for life to evolve formed relatively soon...

Answer to I think being a warrior comes naturally to men, not women. Women need to be toughened up. Why do women enter the political boxing ring?

Tue, 27 Sep 2011 04:18:55 -0700

I think being a warrior comes naturally to men, not women. Women need to be toughened up. Why do women enter the political boxing ring?

What you think does not necessarily tally with reality, it's certainly true of some women, but by no means all, it can depend upon a wide variety of things such as upbringing and life experience, some women are considerably tougher than their peers. Men are generally more physically aggressive,...

Answer to At what age should one begin using drugs?

Fri, 16 Sep 2011 03:16:52 -0700

At what age should one begin using drugs?

If you drink coffee, tea or beer, smoke cigarettes or take any kind of medicine, you already are. As for proscribed (illegal) drugs, I wouldn't recommend it, since they are supplied entirely by criminals, who more often than not, have no concern for your health or wellbeing.

Fri, 16 Sep 2011 03:11:33 -0700

Have you ever gotten a tattoo that you regreted? If so, what did you do?

No, but I did regret my choice of artist, he was working from one of those studios that churns out nothing but crappy flash in half hourly sessions, it ended up looking like a biro drawing. In the end, I went to a better, less time constrained artist and had it reworked. As long as the new...

Science vs. religion?how come?

Science seeks to improve our knowledge of the universe, even if that means invalidating previous scientific theories. Religion claims to have all the answers already, and its adherents steadfastly refuse to accept that they could be mistaken, even when faced with copious quatities of solid,...

Answer to Why were there no astronauts on the cow that jumped over the moon?

Fri, 16 Sep 2011 02:22:24 -0700

Why were there no astronauts on the cow that jumped over the moon?

I want to write something funny and original, but my brain just wants me to point out that the song, in common with most nursery ryhmes, is pre-20th century, and therefore pre-ancient astronaut 'theory' (more correctly a hypothesis), stupid unfunny brain!

Answer to The Beatles sucked, can we stop talking about them now?

Thu, 15 Sep 2011 03:29:45 -0700

The Beatles sucked, can we stop talking about them now?

I can name dozens of 'musicians' who make the Beatles look like Mozart on a good day. The fact is, the Beatles could sing, write music and play musical instruments in a manner which appeals to a great many people, in some cases myself included, when I'm in the mood, and tunefully, so I...

Answer to If a girl shave her mustache, will the mustache grow and get hairy?

Thu, 15 Sep 2011 03:19:03 -0700

If a girl shave her mustache, will the mustache grow and get hairy?

Hair is dead matter extruded from the skin, it is a myth that cutting or shaving the shaft of a hair will alter it in any way other than making it shorter. Hair growth is moderated by hormones, as we age, our hormones change, and so does the amount of hair we grow, our libido, body fat...

Im an athiest. I have no desire to dissuade anyone from his/her beliefs. I have a much younger friend of mine who keeps asking me questions which force me to present inconsistencies in organized religion and faith in a supernatural being. should I stop?

I wish that someone like you had been around when I was younger, it would have saved me a lot of bother. Personally, I would rather live in the cold light of truth, than wallow in a comfortable lie, so no, I don't think you should stop at all, if your friend asks questions and he doesn't like...

Answer to To go from no belief to becoming a believer, what is the first step?

Mon, 29 Aug 2011 09:19:12 -0700

To go from no belief to becoming a believer, what is the first step?

Self delusion. When people feel that they are not in control of their lives, they begin to adopt superstitions in a bid to give a certain amount of order to the chaos they see around them. If you want me to believe, you need to supply evidence, and lots of it, make sure that you understand what...

Cats need to sleep around 18 hours a day, that's why the lazy little turd is always in your seat, and it has come to believe that it's the boss in your home. Try a laser pointer, it should get it to move, failing that, a water pistol or spray bottle, if all else fails, kick it in the arse, not...

Mon, 15 Aug 2011 01:40:31 -0700

True or false - We must only worship God in spirit and in truth if we expect to go to heaven?

In order to provide an accurate answer to this question I would require further information, such as which god? What evidence do you have that this one god, above all the many thousands of other gods, is the one true god? And finally, what evidence do you have that this 'heaven' place even...

Answer to What do you think of this video that proves Prophet Mohammmed (PBUH) as the messenger of God through the Old Testament?

Mon, 08 Aug 2011 05:39:30 -0700

What do you think of this video that proves Prophet Mohammmed (PBUH) as the messenger of God through the Old Testament?

It's not even evidence, never mind proof. If you'd produced a video camera in the era Muhammed is supposed to have lived, you'd have been killed on suspiscion of witchcraft, such was the savagery and ignorance of the time. Ancient wisdom is not as advanced as modern wisdom, because modern...

Answer to Where do we really go when we die? Do we just die out like an animal or is there a life after death for humans?

Thu, 04 Aug 2011 14:45:32 -0700

Where do we really go when we die? Do we just die out like an animal or is there a life after death for humans?

The difficulty with answering this question definitively is the fact that one would have to die in order to do so. However, there is no evidence to suggest that there is any kind of afterlife, but a hell of a lot of wishful thinking about the possibility!

Answer to Do you think the bible is basically religious mythology since it has so many contradictions?

Thu, 04 Aug 2011 02:29:55 -0700

Do you think the bible is basically religious mythology since it has so many contradictions?

Not just contradiction, outright ignorance and savagery, which for the perfect and inalienable 'word of god' strikes me as more than a little suspect. I don't just think it's a mythology, I can supply evidence that suggests quite strongly that it is.

Wed, 03 Aug 2011 02:21:43 -0700

For lack of a better word, what 'repels' you the most from the bible?

Aside from the constant pushing of other peoples beliefs upon me as if ancient wisdom is better than modern wisdom, I find the mindless violence, sexism, homophobia, as well as medical, geographical and philosophical ignorance coupled with a high handed assumption of moral superiority to be quite...

Answer to Did God create animal spirits?

Wed, 03 Aug 2011 02:15:15 -0700

Did God create animal spirits?

No, there is no evidence that spirits, or for that matter god, are anything more than delusory effects of too much time spent avoiding reality and touting your own 'wisdom' without actually understanding what the word means.

Fri, 29 Jul 2011 02:11:00 -0700

Do you think Jesus, the anointed one, wanted to get a high off of the cannabis, also known as marijuana which is part of the anointing oil?

I find it strange that the only use people associate with Cannabis Sativa is as a narcotic. There are many different use for the plant, fibres for clothing, oil, fuel, bricks, food, amongst many others. It would not be impossible to imagine anyone from the biblical era using cannabis to obtain...

Answer to We can't prove evolution to be true or false. Would believing in it and teaching it to our children be making science a religion? If yes, the (US)gov't demands it to b in our schools, would that be violating our constitional rights, freedom of religion?

Mon, 18 Jul 2011 05:27:57 -0700

We can't prove evolution to be true or false. Would believing in it and teaching it to our children be making science a religion? If yes, the (US)gov't demands it to b in our schools, would that be violating our constitional rights, freedom of religion?

Evolution has solid evidence in its favour, religion doesn't.

Do archangels exist?

There's no evidence either way to suggest that any such being has ever existed. In the abscence of any firm information to confirm that angels exist, we must conclude that they do not until such time as evidence is forthcoming. Please note that by 'evidence' I mean solid, indisputable facts,...

Fri, 08 Jul 2011 06:53:53 -0700

if you wanted to get revenge on someone without facing legal repercussions, how would you do it?

Hide fish or cat food in a warm place nearby a place they often sit. When I was working for a large corporation, we sealed off the Health & Safety reps desk with hazard tape and put up hazard signs, it took him half an hour to figure out it was a prank, he left us alone for a while.

Answer to How come Muslim terrorists blow up their own countries and kill their own fellow Muslims

Sat, 25 Jun 2011 11:01:23 -0700

How come Muslim terrorists blow up their own countries and kill their own fellow Muslims

For the same reason protestants and catholics keep on killing each other, because each is convinced that the other is practicing the wrong kind of christianity. Muslims are no better or worse than any other religious demographic.

If you do, why do you dislike Jehovah's Witnesses?

They come knocking on my door trying to sell me something they can't prove exists, and despite my repeated instructions to add me to their 'do not call' list, then when I tell them where to go, in no uncertain terms, manage to look all afronted at my language. I used to argue with them, back...

Sat, 25 Jun 2011 01:17:19 -0700

What does getting a tattoo feel like? Ive always wondered this, i want a small tattoo but i hate any type of needle

I found that it stings a fair bit at first, but then recedes into a dull burning feeling, once your tattoo is finished the pain will disappear rapidly. I have six tattoos, four piercings and a needle phobia, somehow getting a tattoo or piercing is different to me than having an injection with a...

No problems my end in that respect, although every time I leave and come back I have to sign in again, despite ticking the 'keep me logged in' button, and 'add a decription' hasn't been working for months, also random questions and answers have been disappearing for no apparent reason. I'm...

Answer to Is belief in God a rationally unacceptable position to hold?

Fri, 24 Jun 2011 12:13:03 -0700

Is belief in God a rationally unacceptable position to hold?

It's certainly not rational to believe in something you cannot show exists, but as for being unacceptably so, I'm not so certain, since we cannot disprove the existence of something we cannot provide evidence to contradict, although the utter lack of any evidence in favour does rather point to...

Answer to Is the Koran really is the single one that is unchanged among all other religious books..?

Fri, 24 Jun 2011 05:07:35 -0700

Is the Koran really is the single one that is unchanged among all other religious books..?

A scientific theory that has not changed is either perfect, which is unlikely, or still contains a number of foundational errors which have not been corrected through further research. In the same respect, being the only religion that has not altered in thousands of years is nothing to be proud...

Answer to What makes a person to doubt God ?

Thu, 23 Jun 2011 07:36:50 -0700

Facts and religious people. The more facts you have, the harder it is to believe in any deity, talking to the fervently religious has a similar effect.

Thu, 23 Jun 2011 04:50:12 -0700

Does being a racist make someone an idiot? What is your opinion on racism?

Racism is idiotic, it does not necessarily make the racist an idiot, but it does rather up the odds of that person being one. Those racists who are not idiots are potentially redeemable as decent human beings.

Wed, 22 Jun 2011 07:28:26 -0700

How can you tell if a cat is plotting to kill you?

Cats are built to kill, the only reason they don't hunt us and play with our corpses is we're too big, so they wile away their days plotting about how they'll one day manage to kill us all and still get fed.

Wed, 22 Jun 2011 07:17:41 -0700

All three concepts are entirely alike, imaginary. The difference being that 'sin' can be said to represent wrongdoing from the perspective of a human society.

Answer to Should gangs be able to apply for permits to have a war? That way no civilians get caught in the crossfire, and the police can check IDs

Wed, 22 Jun 2011 07:14:40 -0700

Should gangs be able to apply for permits to have a war? That way no civilians get caught in the crossfire, and the police can check IDs

I imagine the Health and Safety Executive might have something to say about that. BACzero has it right in my opinion, legalisation and regulation of drugs would wipe gangs out almost completely, not to mention making a certain amount of revenue to prop up the economy and fund drug education...

Answer to Are all rape cases equally serious?

Wed, 22 Jun 2011 07:09:16 -0700

Are all rape cases equally serious?

Rape is always serious, so is murder, and there are different degrees of murder, from people who were drunk and acting out of character, to serial murderers who eat their victims bodies. So whilst it is fair to say that some rapes are less serious than others, it is not fair to suggest that they...

Answer to I'm an English teacher and I think one of my students fancies me. She even got me an autographed picture from Chewy when she went to Comic-Con. What is the proper way of approaching her about this? Do I simply leave it alone?

Wed, 22 Jun 2011 06:49:47 -0700

I'm an English teacher and I think one of my students fancies me. She even got me an autographed picture from Chewy when she went to Comic-Con. What is the proper way of approaching her about this? Do I simply leave it alone?

Tell someone in authority, that way, if she approaches you and you reject her advances, she can't then maliciously claim that you propositioned her. Entering into a relationship with one of your students is unethical and unprofessional, no matter how tempted you might be.

Wed, 22 Jun 2011 05:08:03 -0700

Female supremacy. I am a man, but still support it, Do you believe in it? what do you think about female supremacy?

No, that's a crappy idea, it would be no better than having male supremacy, different certainly, but not better. I am old enough to remember when Margaret Thatcher was British PM, not good.

Tue, 21 Jun 2011 02:48:09 -0700

Do you think you have what it takes to be President of the United States in the near future? Why or why not?

Nope, I was born and live in the UK and I'm not a christian, otherwise, if GWB could do it, I see no reason why I shouldn't, and do it better, with fewer wars.

Mon, 20 Jun 2011 14:04:18 -0700

My 1st son (7 yrs old) who has been been watching me breast feed my 2nd son (6 mths old) has expressed desire to also get fed which I quickly declined. My husband says it's ok & natural to be curious at his age. Is it ok to also breast feed my elder son?

Your son has realised that he's no longer the baby, so he's attempting to regress, it's perfectly natural behaviour. That said, it would not be a good idea to start breast feeding him again, you may want to appeal to his vanity by saying that he's a big boy now, or to his empahy, by saying that...
