[I'm With Stupid]

Insert the god of atheist naturalist evolution as the myth of nothing created everything- the universe popped into being uncaused.

So on Materialist atheism do you think I have a mind or you have one ? Make sure you know the difference between a mind and brain . It makes sense to say my brain is 5' 10" off the floor but no sense saying my mind is 5' 10" of the floor . Is what you think in your mind boiled down to what takes place in your brain ? That's what the Materialist has to show. Is it possible for a scientist to open the head and do a procedure on the brain and predict what I will do ? He ought be able to see YOUR thoughts if they're solely physical ie brain.
So looking at electrons and molecules and synapses has nothing to do with what is conceptual content being transmitted over those synapses . Mind reduces to brain on naturalist atheism .
If they believe that then they've no reason to believe anything in their heads . All talk is reduced to electrochemical responses in their brain & you couldn't base any decisions on those because there would be no authority ie a mind to direct the thought process.

You bring up these questions as if you and your religion have any answers to them.

Your internal monologue must be absolutely fascinating...

Those images look like they are the work of Robert Crumb, a superb artist in my view.

But there’s also a Lego version of the Er and Onan story which unfortunately I can’t post an image from at the moment as I am on my phone.

Suffice it to say that the site in question is The Brick Testament and it doesn’t take that much imagination to picture how sperm might be depicted in Lego.

But anyway, here’s a link:

The Brick Testament

Ha, fantastic, thanks.

John Hus was burned at the stake for criticising the Catholic Church at the time not Christianity.
Atheism has no basis for obective morality. Because of its huge influence in culture over the last 30 -40 years it is one of the main reasons there is a murdering regime all over the world that kills pre born babies in the womb. Sweetness and light?

The fuck you even on about? And you think the last 30-40 years were more blood thirsty than the previous 30-40? You may want to buy yourself a history book (a real one, not the sort of fiction you normally read).

As for my absence of morality, at least I choose not to rape and kill because I don't thinking raping and killing is cool. You don't do it because you're scared of the sky fairy.

Gove is such an arsehole. He was also responsible for a lot of expensive older teachers getting shunted out of the profession early on the spurious grounds that they were no longer up to the job, when the real agenda was to save money.

I was fortunate to avoid that but he is still someone that I might need to be restrained from physically attacking if I ever met them in real life.

It’s nothing new. My grandma was offered early retirement from teaching in 1981.

This year marks her 40th year of retirement.

In JudeoChristian Scripture you are a mind/ soul.

In JudeoChristian Scripture you are a mind/ soul.

And in Atheist Scripture...oh yeah, there isn't one

That is complete bollocks, we just embed our morality in the real world as opposed to a mythical ruler. The golden rule, "treat others as you wish to be treated yourself" is essentially the basis of morality, and it all it requires is a sense that I exist and a sense that you exist. It does not need a third party.

You don’t really advance the case for religion with nonsense like that
