God-soaked asshole: An atheist may speak of a fantasy like "there is no God", believing it to be rational when there is no evidence to support such a claim, and therefore is irrational to make.
Me: Nice try but your childish magic god fairy fantasy is still impossible for the same reason the Easter Bunny is impossible. There is no magic in the universe.
Another moron wrote this: "Either way, there is no proof."
Me: That's bullshit. I just disproved it.
God-soaked asshole: "It's quite rational to say There is a God."
Me: That's bullshit. It not rational to say there is a god for the same reason it's not rational to say there is an Easter Bunny.
Me: Saying "there is a god" and saying "there is an Easter Bunny" is equally childish, equally ridiculous, and equally impossible.
God-soaked asshole: "Honestly? It looks like you just provided another example of struggling to tell the difference between rational philosophies and fantasies."
Me: Bullshit. There is nothing rational about your sky daddy. And only idiots use the word "philosophies" which is a bullshit subject. Philosophy is a bunch of words about nothing. It's for morons who are too lazy to get a real job.
Me: "Duh, duh, the Magic Man did it, duh." Grow up FFS.
God-soaked asshole: Well, thank you very much for providing further examples of struggling to tell the difference between rational philosophies and fantasies.
Me: What part of "There is nothing rational about your sky daddy" don't you understand? What part of "Grow up FFS" don't you understand? What part of "Philosophy is a bunch of words about nothing" don't you understand? One more time: Grow up FFS. You people are pathetic. You're trying to defend bullshit and you fail every time.
Me: You wrote this bullshit: "... evidence that leads people to find Him." You are insane. Find your fairy? Your fairy has male sex organs? What a fucking retard.

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (aka Mormonism) and the religious implications of evolution.
Some words I never use because it's philosophy bullshit.
nihilism: the rejection of all religious and moral principles, in the belief that life is meaningless.
moral relativism: Moral relativism is the view that moral judgments are true or false only relative to some particular standpoint (for instance, that of a culture or a historical period) and that no standpoint is uniquely privileged over all others.
metaphysics: the branch of philosophy that deals with the first principles of things, including abstract concepts such as being, knowing, substance, cause, identity, time, and space.
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
Is life meaningless? No, because we have chicken thighs.
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
"The mission of Brigham Young University — founded, supported, and guided by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints — is to assist individuals in their quest for perfection and eternal life. That assistance should provide a period of intensive learning in a stimulating setting where a commitment to excellence is expected and the full realization of human potential is pursued."
—BYU Mission Statement
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
I know some Mormons. I like them. They're wealthy or on the way to being wealthy, and that's a good thing. Of course, their fantasies are ridiculous, especially the "eternal life" bullshit.
What about evolution? Not good. Most Mormons are science deniers. Human evolution makes them cry.
I found this at Which religious groups are Creationist? By Razib Khan | February 15, 2009.
In 1935 only 36 percent of the students at the Mormons’ Brigham Young University denied that humans had been “created in a process of evolution from lower forms.” By 1973 the figure had risen sharply to 81 percent.
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
At the BYU student newspaper, this is what an anti-science god-soaked fucktard wrote. It's about the religious implications of evolution. To solve that problem he wants to throw out the science instead of throwing out his childish god-did-it fantasy.
Evolution and creation
Though it is admirable that BYU is attempting to reconcile religion and evolution in a way that students can effectively learn more about both, this attempt at reconciliation is, like all other attempts, ultimately doomed.
The theory of evolution is rooted in a purely naturalistic metaphysics. It assumes that all things can be reduced down to mere atoms bouncing against each other and that all aspects of life are nothing more than the result of random, meaningless chance. These assumptions ultimately imply a world where agency does not exist, choices are meaningless and there is no universal morality that we can ground ourselves in. It assumes there is no God.
On the other hand, the idea of creationism is rooted in an entirely different metaphysics. It makes its starting assumption that there is a God. It assumes that God created us, our world and the whole universe. It assumes that God is perfect, just, merciful, loving, and cares a great deal about our actions. It assumes we have agency to live morally and that life has meaning.
These two viewpoints, evolution and creationism, can never truly be reconciled because they are rooted in fundamentally opposed metaphysics. All attempts at reconciliation will fail because of this.
By all means, teach evolutionary theory in the classroom. But teach the assumptions and implications that go along with it. Teach how the theory of evolution, when really taken seriously, leads to determinism, nihilism, moral relativism and the death of God.

This post is about Christian fucktards, dogs, and the Magic Man.
Christian fucktards make stuff up to justify their ridiculous and impossible fantasies.
What my favorite biologist wrote:
"The only rational reaction to this type of confabulation is ridicule and utter contempt. Can you imagine grown men arguing about whether dogs, cats, sheep, and cows go to heaven? Yet Feser gets paid for this, and is regarded as one of the most influential philosophers of religion. It all goes to show how intellectually depauperate that discipline is."
-- Jerry Coyne
I had to look up the words confabulation and depauperate.
If you're interested in idiots who make stuff up I recommend what Jerry Coyne wrote in 2015 at Edward Feser: No dogs go to Heaven
Edward Feser is full of crap philosopher.
An interesting thing about the world's philosophers, if all these worthless fucktards dropped dead, nobody would notice and nobody would care.
Philosophy is a disorder that causes people to ponder pondering, rather than go out and get a job.
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
This is more interesting. It's about a letter a Christian creationist fucktard wrote for Jerry Coyne. The idiot defended his childish ridiculous magical creationism fantasy the usual way: If you see a watch you know somebody created it. Therefore somebody created the universe, this planet, and every creature who lives here.
The problem with this idiotic bullshit is the watchmaker didn't require a magic wand. The moron for Jeebus is saying if people didn't make something (for example the universe) then somebody else made it. Somebody with a very powerful magic wand, also known as the Magic Man.
Here in Idiot America, most people would agree with the fucktard who lives in a "everything is magic fantasy world".
Here is the whole thing, well done as usual at Jerry Coyne's website: I get emails from Christian creationists

Somebody asked a question about Pascal's wager. In the 21st century there are still Christian fucktards who agree with this bullshit.
Wikipedia: Pascal's Wager is an argument in philosophy presented by the seventeenth-century French philosopher, mathematician and physicist Blaise Pascal (1623–62). It posits that humans bet with their lives that God either exists or does not.
Pascal argues that a rational person should live as though God exists and seek to believe in God. If God does not actually exist, such a person will have only a finite loss (some pleasures, luxury, etc.), whereas they stand to receive infinite gains (as represented by eternity in Heaven) and avoid infinite losses (eternity in Hell).
--------------------------------
The question: "Does Pascal's wager ever make sense?"
I wrote this answer:
I "know" hell is not real. I "know" heaven is not real.
How do I know these things?
I have a brain and I use it.
Only reality is real. Everything else including every moronic religious fantasy ever invented, is bullshit.
--------------------------------
"Pascal's Wager is an argument in philosophy"
If every philosopher in the world dropped dead nobody would notice and nobody would care.
Most philosophy I've seen is bullshit about bullshit. All philosophers have three things in common: They are full of bullshit, they contribute nothing to human progress, and they're too lazy to get a real job.
I suggest click the label "philosophy" and also click this link:

On another blog I explained to a philosopher why philosophy is bullshit.
Why are (some) physicists so bad at philosophy?
"I am a writer and philosopher living in Los Angeles."
If all the world's philosophers dropped dead today, nobody would notice and nobody would care.
Science is reality. Philosophy is bullshit for people who are too lazy to get a real job.
"philosophy of religion"
Religion is bullshit, including your idiotic Roman Catholicism.
"the debate between atheism and theism"
What debate? There's nothing to debate. Atheism is normal. Theism is bullshit for people who solve scientific problems by invoking magic. For example your "cause of the universe". You want to stick your god of the gaps in there. A scientist would never do that because invoking magic is childish and it accomplishes nothing.

"philosophically ignorant" = bullshit ignorant.
All philosophers = full of shit.
Hey Gilson, you got any scientific evidence for your Christian death cult? How about the disgusting resurrection of Jeebus into a zombie? Got anything for that?
I didn't think so. You're full of it and your idiotic fantasies are childish.
Feser, you have a Roman Catholic perspective. What's your perspective on sexual childish abuse? That's all your idiotic religion is good for.
You're all a bunch of full of shit childish adults. You think you're smart but you believe in ridiculous things that are about equal to the Easter Bunny.
Using philosophy to defend a magic god fairy and pretending you're sophisticated to do that. You're all pathetic superstitious morons.
What magic words does your fairy use?
Idiots.
