His book "How to Build a Car" is excellent aswell, up there with Ross Brawn's. The way that these F1 guys approach process improvement and quality control, to the point of paranoid obsession, makes most other sporting institutions look inadequate at best and incompetent at worst. Football may...

Yeah what are they going to do? Change the channel?

That argument is a useless argument though because it doesn't go anywhere. You can say that maths isn't real and was invented by humans but it still makes bridges work. Maths, religion, science, etc all make changes to the world and the people that live in it. That makes them as real as...

Standing armies aren't useless but their public reputation has far outstripped their utility. Having a standing army of 3 million is not effective if some kids with a laptop can bring down your entire power network. We will always need a standing army for a variety of reasons but if we're...

Dealing with the public sector in any way, shape or form.

Might be a generational thing? In pre-social media Internet, it was always considered to be shouting. Emphasis was usually done using emboldening or italics but the "caps for emphasis" IS something that I do myself at times. I think I actually prefer it tbh but the rules are the rules are the...

I didn't know that you asked! But no, I'm not religious. My argument is more pointing out that others arguments are kind of terrible. I'm not sure my non-belief in a deity is a topic and think its probably arguing the opposite from the scientifically illiterate producing shite arguments

I feel like our standards for "overwhelming evidence" and making grandiose statements about what every single person believes are extremely different. So the entire basis of your point is that you doubt the historicity of Jesus because, despite it being a well evidenced idea in historical...

There is absolutely zero scientific evidence to support the idea of the Big Bang as the creation model of the Universe yet a large amount of people, who often prolaim their opinions to be based on evidence such as the above, don't seem to know this. We can get into what singularities are at a...

Because its the official state religion of the UK? Did you mean some non-Anglicans have privileges? Who? Can't you just tell me?

Just to be clear here, you're saying that you'd like to use a machine gun/assault rifle to murder several politicians?

Outside of the archaic House of Lords Lords Temporal, what privileges? Do Anglicans get served first in the NHS? I'd also like to point out that a key tenet of secularism is to not seek to challenge others religious beliefs. Secularism isn't atheism.

You lot mock and deride his religion, his religious beliefs and then his God then call him a lunatic evangelical for replying in defence of it.

If several people all got to the same assumption from your post then maybe it's your post at fault and not the other people? I presume this is because you're not a historical scholar? Why would you have found this? There's very very few who doubt the historicity of Jesus. He's much more...

You're dodging the two main thrusts of the conversation though. 1. Your view implies almost all religious people are stupid, naive, or gullible. There's also a shared implication that people who aren't religious are the opposite and therefore superior intellectually. 2. Your view doesn't fit...

Saw this the other day. It's an old FMV game that someone remastered. Never heard of it before, it's all free. https://borgremastered.com/

Is he implying that he usually finds shitting uncomfortable? I thought it was one of the universally beloved acts in the human experience. Who doesn't enjoy a good tom tit?

I don't know what he's doing with his life now, but this is something I'd probably ask @SWP's back. He used to work in that sector.

Weak and easily led. Interesting idea. Picking two names out of the air, let's say Martin Luther King and Gandhi, both highly religious people who civil rights work was motivated by it. The problem with the anti-theism argument is that it assumes that you personally are smarter than all those...

Both would be 5th choice.
