As an atheist, I believe only in this life. Because I can't buy into the ideas of an afterlife, reincarnation, or even a soul, I place incredible value on the life I have right now. The Christians I…Continue

Even if it were a person, we would not allow it to live in another person's body without that person's consent. If you (an adult thinking person) moved into my living room my…"
Ian Kavanagh replied to Tom's discussion Why is "Pro Life" the property of Christianity?"Making a baby is so easy even stupid people can do it (and they do so at an alarming rate).

Dawn replied to Tom's discussion Why is "Pro Life" the property of Christianity?"Respectfully, if you aren't actively anti-abortion and support the right of the mother to make this decision, you are pro-choice. You support the woman's right to make the choice. You have one standard for your personal conduct, but…"

Grant Sutton replied to Tom's discussion Why is "Pro Life" the property of Christianity?"First I would say more religious people tend to be further in the pro-life camp spectrum(not just Christians). The evangelical pro-life Christians have taken a position so far on the spectrum, approaching the point that your life began when…"

As an atheist, I believe only in this life. Because I can't buy into the ideas of an afterlife, reincarnation, or even a soul, I place incredible value on the life I have right now. The Christians I have spoken with, and there have been many, believe aborted fetuses will go to heaven or the afterlife. I accept that they simply never live. And I think it's a crime to deny anyone the only life they'll have a chance to lead. Now, I'm don't go as far as support anti-abortion efforts, because I…See More

Pretty much everything one sees in the media is a load of dog shit. Nothing new there. I can't really deny however that something's going on out there.

Nonetheless, I had…

I just finished watching P&T's "Bullshit" episode on dolphins. It inspired me to share my personal experience with them, which I had back in the Amazon River Basin in 1996.
No, I didn't travel to the Amazon in 1996 to swim with the world's only freshwater pink and gray dolphins who inhabit the waters there, but to... well... to... ummmm... uh... OK! So, I don't even know what the fuck I went to the Amazon for in the first place! It's just that I've always loved adventures (and…
