I can defend my positions pretty well, and I have done so, but I have no wish to scrap with you in particular, so whatever. Take care.

Hi Hypatia. I recall you as an evasive, low key abusive poster who has a history of not very well veiled antisemitism. So while I agree with some of your opinions, I confess that I share some of their contempt for your attitude. Its probably best that you simply avoid me. Thanks.

I'm saying that I do not believe him. Draw whatever conclusions you want from that, but what he says about himself wrt medicine is not plausible.

Because his posts about medicine and science are semi-literate garbled nonsense that anyone who has attended the university of Google but had no actual training could come up with, despite the fact that he claims to be (in a carefully vague manner) a medical "insider" who has spent thousands of...

Bob.......Measels is usually benign, it is true. But there is a fairly constant small proportion of families for whom it turns into a tragedy. This disease: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subacute_sclerosing_panencephalitis is thankfully (nearly) extinct in the developed world because of...

Nobody believes this.

Hi CrowCross. Drooped in and saw this. You might be interested in reading this (if you have not already) https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3136032/#ref10 If you follow citations 10-13 they are to articles by a Journalist, Brian Deer, who details especially in citation 12 how the...

Hi Stiggy. Just wanted to say that. Be strong and all my love.

You are one of the few reasons I re-engage, Torin. Things have been difficult for me and mine, and I don't currently have a lot of time, but I hope you are well. I need to read more Rand to really understand your perspective so please forgive if I do not. I freely confess this is a weakness in...

You explicitly did, but if you didn't mean it, that's just fine.(y) I accept that your point was badly phrased and inapt. It isn't a problem. No need to get excited, dude. Relax. :) Whatever turns your crank, fine with me.

Well, you did say that getting rid if a person’s Christianity was like getting rid of cancer.? Then you denied that you thought Christianity was like cancer. ?Which prompts the question of why you made what you now admit was not a valid comparison to begin with. ? It does not look like I...

You said here : I take it you have no evidence that removing religion is actually beneficial. Thank you. You should have just said so.

If Christianity is like a cancer (as you said), and thus to be eliminated, what is your evidence that by doing so things will be on average better for other people than they would be with Christianity? My question is very straightforward.

(double post pls forgive)

This is not evidence that it will be on average better for other people. This is a personal anecdote. Please supply evidence. Do you have any?

Better than things are now, with Christianity. This is not complicated.

That isn't evidence that idolatry caused anything: that's just a re-assertion of the same theory. Clearly they were not, as they were justified by Christians citing Christian doctrine, and your argument is with other Christians as to what the definition of Christian moral teaching should be...

This is simply not so. Causality is not necessary to much physical theory. (shrug) It has all the characteristics of an uncaused event as well.

If Christianity is a cancer, and thus to be resected or otherwise eliminated, what is your evidence that by doing so things will be on average better? Please, this is not a complicated question.

It does not follow that an atheism is reasonable, even if atheism qua atheism is reasonable.
