The Ethics of Veganism

>And no – I was not farmer.
apologies, that was another FF member

The Ethics of Veganism

Why the need to weigh them against each other? Assuming the answer is “no, I feel more empathy towards the illegal detainees”, what is the point you are making?

The Ethics of Veganism

Our meetup discussion on the ethics of carnivorism should have come after this article. We can continue it this coming meetup. :)

Great article Nancy!

My Definition of God

Dean, you can put up your link now. The one you probably want us to visit. You’re hit-fishing, right? Trolling to get hits to your site and stuff. To do that, you kinda need to put up your site’s URL.

Go on, we’ll throw a couple of hits your way, just to increase your stats. Hopefully that’ll give you all the attention you’re trying to get by trolling us lesser atheists and agnostics.

Sheesh.

My Definition of God

I don’t get what your problem is. You perceive us to be a group of weak people in need of support or something based merely on the fact that we congregate, and because of this you feel the express desire to announce that, what, you’re better than us because you don’t need a group?

I’m also not sure if your arrogance stems your being a believer or being a nonbeliever with no need for groups. Which is it? Do you belong to the One True Church? Or are you perhaps among the “real atheists and agnostics” we give a “bad rap” to by congregating?

From your comment above it seems you’re the latter, but you reek of a Higher Moral Ground for some reason, which makes me think of a church.

Somebody needs a support group~~

There, there. *pat*

Meetup: May 16 at Shangri-la Starbucks

So the prize is, we put the book of your choice in the FF Library, and you get first dibs? I like it. I could write to get more science books in the library. :)

A quick glance at Atienza's anti-RH Bill rhetoric

serious replies like these make me sad.

Writing a Social Commentary

Nice article as usual, Wes!

New Film Fest Poster

@VB, they’re nothing alike. Someone has to Watch a little more closely.

Explaining the situation of churches in Germany

Awesome stats! I wonder how long it would take to have the same stats here..

Although I regret I won’t be able to attend this T_T

 How to Organize an Official FF Meetup

Let us know when it’s scheduled. It might coincide with my going home to visit.

Condom use like legalizing free sex?

You forget that it’s not only the man who benefits from contraceptives, but also the woman. The church tries to make all women out to be virginal Marys with no interest in sex, fit only to play the gender role of taking care of children at home. Fuck that.

This Moral Law the church is fond of conduring seeks to impose “consequences” on women who choose not to submit to their stereotype of the virgin mary, so that she is not “[reduced] to being a mere instrument for the satisfaction of [men's] desires”, never mind what the woman wants, or that the sex is consensual.

According to the church, every woman who doesn’t submit to them is a slut and needs to suffer the consequences.

We Really Should Get Our Focus Back On Religion

He wants attention, and he’s getting it, whether by blog hits or page fans. Just ignore the bugger, “un-Fan” the page and let him drown in his ignorance. Nobody takes him seriously, and he has crossed from humorously ridiculous to just plain ridiculous.

Volunteer's Dilemma

Login or Register using the Login link on the panel to the right. Then you can submit anything you want. Our editors may then post your article on the site.

Detached by Familiarity

Astiiiiiiiiiiiiig!! Wonderfully well-thought, expertly written, I’m sure many others besides myself thought “Exactly what I wanted to say!!” You just captured the very sentiments I wanted to convey in an Ignite talk, Why Science Is Better Than Superstition.

Congrats on being the first FF-UPD to post! And what an article; way to set the bar high. =) looking forward to more posts from you and other FF-UPD members!

If There Was An Intelligent Designer

Well, it’s nothing as bad as the misuse of “not unless” or the non-existent “irregardless”. =)

If There Was An Intelligent Designer

Like I like to say, for the world we have to exist, God cannot be All-Loving, All-Knowing, and All-Powerful. If he exists, at least one of these three must be missing.

FF Top Ten: March 7, 2010

Excellent. We could use a news segment. =)

Who says agnostics are atheists without balls?

@Michael: If I asked you whether if I was wearing an orange shirt right now, what would you say? Yes? No?

Sometimes, “I don’t know” is the logical response.
