"Darwin was the first to use data from nature to convince people that evolution is true, and his idea of natural selection was truly novel. It testifies to his genius that the concept of natural theology, accepted by most educated Westerners before 1859, was vanquished within only a few years by a single five-hundred-page book. On the Origin of Species turned the mysteries of life's diversity from mythology into genuine science." -- Jerry Coyne

At the Wall Street Journal a Christian Fucktard invoked the usual dead 20th century communist dictators to justify his childish ridiculous magic-god-fairy fantasy.
I never met an insane dead communist dictator. I am by the way a very conservative Republican as are a few million other atheists.
In any case if all one Billion atheists were axe murderers that would not be evidence for a magical being (aka god, allah, zeus) who hides in some other galaxy or who knows where because it has never shown itself or provided any evidence for its existence.
My point is religious insanity completely depends on a ridiculous belief in a supernatural magician. Atheism says nothing about economic systems or dictatorships. Atheism is nothing more than an acceptance of reality. The word atheist would not even be necessary if the world wasn't infested with superstitious theists.
The New York Times - A Chance to Reset the Republican Race - Gov. John Kasich of Ohio, though a distinct underdog, is the only plausible choice for Republicans tired of the extremism and inexperience on display in this race.
From the article: From deporting Mexican immigrants and barring Muslims to slapping a 45 percent tariff on Chinese imports, Mr. Trump invents his positions as he goes along.
This is the comment I wrote there. It got 3 thumps up.
I could vote for Mr. Kasich but first there would have to be some evidence he could win the nomination. I don't see that happening.
What I like about Mr. Trump is he has made freedom of speech possible. For example millions of Americans think "barring Muslims" is a good idea. Now they can actually say this.

What I wrote at the Wall Street Journal about religious brainwashing.
"It is gut-wrenching that a 15-year-old boy, who raised his hand at evening prayers after the local imam asked who among them did not love the Prophet Muhammad—mistakenly thinking that the cleric had asked who did love the prophet—would cut off his own hand to prove his faith to the imam, who had accused him of blasphemy after the incident."
Religious brainwashing, aka child abuse, made this disgusting atrocity possible. All religious people brainwash children because they know if their victims are allowed to grow up first they will never buy the nonsense. Without these child abusers religions would go extinct in less than a century.

At Yahoo Answers I answered this question: Christians, did you know that faith, is believing in something, without evidence?
"Christians, did you know that faith, is believing in something, without evidence?"
All the moronic religious fantasies are bullshit. They all require faith. In other words if there is no evidence for something the god-soaked believe it anyway because they're fucking cowards, willing to believe any bullshit that makes them feel good.
Even worse if some scientific fact supported by tons of evidence conflicts with their ridiculous no-evidence magical fantasies then the fact is denied. An example is evolution which has countless thousands of powerful evidences. Christian scum and Muslim scum realize evolution kills their death cults so of course they deny the whole thing.
Even more worse these fucking assholes brainwash children to be just as brain-dead fucking stupid as they are. This is child abuse. The child abusers belong in prison.

I answered a question at chess.com
What is it... the best way to improve your chess?
Capablanca answered your question.
The book that improved my chess skills the most: "Capablanca's Best Chess Endings: 60 Complete Games" by Irving Chernev. Chernev made the book easy to study because he made it interesting instead of tedious.

Idiot America is infested with full-of-crap god-soaked fucktards.
"militant atheism"
There is nothing militant about accepting reality.
"We are nowhere close to fully understanding evolution or what causes it but you tout it as settled science."
That's totally wrong. There will always be research opportunities in biology but biologists understand in extreme detail how evolution works and what causes it.
What makes evolution the strongest fact of science is evidence. Evolution has tons of it. If you didn't know this that's not my problem.
Big bang - some priest. So what? When religious scientists discover something it's not because of their religious fantasies.
"religion & science are perfectly compatible"
Nonsense. Religious fantasies like the magical resurrection of a decomposing preacher man requires throwing out virtually all of science. Religions seek the answer to why but it has never found any answers. Religions are totally worthless. They contribute nothing human progress. They just get in the way.
At the same website there was another person who actually has a brain. LESLIE KELLER
She wrote this for 3 god-soaked morons who said evolution is just a theory.
Science is an exercise in inductive reasoning. The premises are observations of nature and the particular phenomena under study, and then mathematical analysis, inference, and hypothesis generation, with more observations are made to test those inferences and hypotheses in a continuous cycle.
Evidence then accumulates in favor of:
"facts" - which could be said to be verified observations and data
"laws" - relationships observed to exist in a particular way in nature
"facts" - which could be said to be verified observations and data
"laws" - relationships observed to exist in a particular way in nature
"hypotheses" - proposed explanations for observed phenomena
and finally "theories" - the 'big ideas' that wrap all of those other things up into a coherent framework for a set of related observations and phenomena
What each of you seemed to miss is that none of those words include certainty or truth as part of their definitions. That is because all scientific knowledge is provisional, even things we otherwise consider to be facts. There are no "immutable facts" in science.

What I wrote at the Agnes comic strip on January 25, 2016.
I built snow forts, snow men, had snow ball fights, ice skating, cross country skiing, downhill skiing and sledding and tobogganing and by saucer. I shoveled snow, made snow angels, got my car stuck in the snow, I helped people dig out of the snow and people helped me do the same thing. One winter there was so much snow the roof of my garage caved in. I slipped on the ice a lot. All that never again. I live in south Florida now where the best part of winter is watching it on TV.

At the Wall Street Journal somebody said they didn't get the memo about Mr. God not being real.
Mr. God stopped being real in 1859 when Mr. Darwin published On the Origin of Species.
Friday, January 22, 2016
What I wrote at the Wall Street Journal on 1/22/2016.
Thanks for the Lewis thing. I suppose I should look him up but I can't imagine him convincing me to throw out reality. I threw out religion in 1967. I threw out the god fantasy in 1970. I was hard-core atheist not long after that. On 9/11/2001 I became anti-theist.
Religion is an interesting subject and it's difficult to ignore it, especially since religious violence is in the newspaper every day.
Religion has been good for a few things, for example the ancient religious paintings at Chicago's Art Institute and religious music like Handel's Messiah and Miserere Mei Deus. I don't have to believe these things to enjoy listening to it or looking at it.
Most religious people believe in a god of the gaps. I prefer to call gaps in human knowledge "research opportunities" or "points for future understanding".
The idea that God is real is not a big deal. What I don't understand is the idea this magical being requires worship. I will continue this at the next comment.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
The idea that God is real is not a big deal. What I don't understand is the idea this magical being requires worship. People make assumptions about their deity. It's all wild guessing. Everyone guesses differently which explains the countless different cults and the constant wars between these cults.
Why not just believe God is real and leave it at that? Why add all this nonsense to it? Like the idea our species is so special a magical master of the entire universe would go out of its way to magicaly give us a magical 2nd life. I don't think people realize how vast the universe is and how totally insignificant Earth is.
Why would there be something special about us? We are just one of thousands of species on the tree of life. The other creatures evolved just as much as we have. They just evolved to fill a different niche. And most likely there is life elsewhere. This planet is not a big deal and we are not a big deal.

--------------------------------------------------------------------
Mr. god-soaked then tried to sell his infinite joy bullshit. My reply:
I don't buy that infinite joy stuff. Nothing is infinite. There is no eternal magical 2nd life for dead people. That idea is too ridiculous to take seriously.
I know I was lucky to be born. I'm not greedy for something more. I accept reality. I think reality is interesting. I know I will eventually be equal to a dead cockroach, nothing more than a stinking pile of garbage. I don't have a problem with that.
People should appreciate the real heaven they already live in. It's called Earth, it's a paradise, it's not magical, and it's real.

At chess.com a dumb question was asked: "Do you believe that after we die we move to an other life or life after life?"
My answer: A magical 2nd life after dropping dead is a fantasy for feeble-minded cowards.
A Fucktard wrote: Yes, I do believe there is a afterlife. This is why it is important to seek God and find out what He wants from us.
My reply: As if the magic fairy ever attempted to communicate with anyone.

Never mind.
Never mind.
After a Fucktard Muslim spread lies about Islam at the Wall Street Journal I found the asshole's blog and wrote this comment there.
Instead of being part of the problem why don't you throw out Islam, aka the world's largest terrorist organization. This is called "accepting reality". It's also called "growing up and facing facts".
Some facts: Allah is a moronic fantasy. Mohammed was a pervert. A magical life after death is a cowardly fantasy.
Of course reality make you cry so you pretend your ridiculous fantasies will make reality go away.
Islamic terrorism is completely out of control and getting worse every day. You don't care because you can't live without your magical paradise fantasy. Typical allah-soaked coward.
Of course you will never publish what I wrote. Religions can't exist without censorship. Religions also require intense brainwashing of young children. This is child abuse and you Muslims are really good at it. You're not just a coward. You're a child abuser.

Some of my best stuff was written in my younger days a long time ago, for example in 2010.
An important message for evolution deniers
First paragraph:
If you are a sensitive person, easily upset when somebody tells the truth about your mental illness (instead of sucking up to you as if that ever did any good), then you should leave right now. This post is not for wimps and crybabies.

The young people of Iceland have thrown out the magic god fairy.
America's Christian assholes want to make America a theocracy. They will never get away with it.
From the Wall Street Journal, written by Leslie Keller:
I didn't misstate their intent, because I never stated it in the first place, other than to quote from the 1st Amendment. As to states establishing religion, you are correct at the founding, but the doctrine of incorporation through the 14th Amendment has since applied most of the Bill of Rights to the states as well as the federal government. So that is a moot point now.
I was trying to make the point that the Founders weren't perfect, nor were they even of one mind on every issue over constitutional interpretation. They failed to realize the implications of some of what they wrote, and contradicted the principles of what they wrote with laws that they passed (think of the Alien and Sedition Acts).
I maintain that it is wrong and a violation of the Establishment Clause for a religious majority, or even just a large block of religious minority voters without organized opposition, to get government to promote and support their religious viewpoint.

I wrote a comment at the Wall Street Journal. The article was about the Gideon Bibles found in every hotel room in Idiot America.
This is what I wrote:
"Two billion Bibles later, the Gideons are still at it, spreading the Gospel room by room."
To be fair they should also give hotels "Why Evolution Is True" by Jerry Coyne which has the advantage of being real instead of fantasy.
A Christian retard wrote "I wonder how many people have gained a sense of God's love and acceptance from picking up a Gideon Bible?"
After another Christian retard called Coyne's book anti-Christian a normal person wrote this:
After another Christian retard called Coyne's book anti-Christian a normal person wrote this:
Are you saying that evolution is an anti-Christian idea? That a book titled "Why Evolution is True" would inherently be anti-Christian and contrary to the Gideon's beliefs? If all it takes to contradict Christianity is to do science, then Christianity has been contradicted for centuries.
What I wrote at the Wall Street Journal made cowardly Christian retards cry.
"Do Christians and Muslims worship the same God?"
Every invisible friend is a bit different from the other invisible friends. The only thing they have in common is they are the childish ridiculous fantasies of feeble-minded cowards.
