The Methods of Faith
It’s amazing to think that many people in today’s modern society hold faith up as a virtue. I am not one of those people. There is no sense in replacing reason and evidence with faith -- . . . more

Peter Rogerson, Mar 16, 2011, 4:47PM UTCGreetings, Tristan. I'm not any kind of religious believer but at the same time I'm not the atheist equivalent of a missionary. I do, however, try to write reasoned arguments concerning the dangers inherent in religion and the futility of belief amongst a great deal of other stuff. -
Peter Joseph Swanson, Jan 6, 2010, 7:28PM UTCI LOVED The Demon Haunted World. Carl Sagan is fabulous !!! -
Dennis Gilman, Jan 30, 2009, 5:10PM UTCPart 2 is up now. Lets continue there. Really enjoy debating with you. -
Dennis Gilman, Jan 30, 2009, 11:36AM UTCI hope you're not yet done with me yet Tristan. I haven't read your comments yet because there are so many others. Look for part 2 later today. This string is getting too long and I am inviting comments from you. According to what I am reading here, you're an atheist. If you notice, I'm not attempting to convert anybody, just trying to tell everybody, faithless and faithful no to close their minds too readily.

Beth B., Oct 2, 2008, 3:25PM UTCHave you read "the portable atheist"? Christopher Hitchins collected a bunch of writings from great heretics(uestioners, but not exclusively atheists). There's a great one from Betrand Russell and I think some Spinoza. Working my way through, but definately worth a spot on the shelf. -
Holly~Well Behaved Women Rarely Make History~ C., Sep 29, 2008, 3:59PM UTCHi! I don't know why we haven't connected before now, but here we are. I used to be a small town atheist too. I lived in Middleburg, FL, a town that is still controlled by Southern Baptists. I only go back there to see my sister and grandparents. -
Marianne M., Sep 18, 2008, 4:53PM UTCThanks for setting me straight about the Franklin quote, “Beer Is Proof That God Loves Us And Wants Us to Be Happy.” I came across it the other day and thought it was funny. Guess I should credit good old anon instead ... -
