Scot68 replied to ChrisC's discussion The bible - a newb's impression
"I remember being pretty appalled when I tried to visualize a service as described in the Old Testament. The priests would have been literally covered with blood, which would have run down the altar. Almost as bad as the Aztecs with acolytes…"

"Welcome, sorry you had the bad reactions. That's one of the reasons I'm mostly in the closet."
Scot68 replied to Anthony Becker's discussion The World, How Are We Doing?
"Yes, there is hope. There is also cause for great concern and it is easy to despair of any meaningful change. The list of really serious problems that the human species is facing is quite long, and the amount of stupidity that many if not most…"

Scot68 replied to tricia douglas's discussion Hello. New here
"Hello and welcome.
It might be easier if you could snap your fingers and actually truly believe again, but ut usually doesn't work like that. For me there were times when I wanted to believe, but i have just never been able to. You may want to…"

"Hello and welcome. I would recommend Isaac Asimov's two volume text on science for the lay person as a good intro to understanding a lot of basic science concepts."

"What they need is some vigilante action. That witch doctor needs to have his head cut off with his own machete and his blood spilled around his little hut. Generally I am against violent solutions, but only generally. Shit like this really pissed me…"

"They are wishing her well, so a nice thing to say is simply thank you. Very nice of them to collect the money for you, and I'm sorry to hear about your daughter, though I won't pray for her or for you, you have my sympathy. One of my…"

"So does EVERYONE in Greece get to retire at 55? Here it is mostly just police officers and fire fighters who can retire at 55. And people in the military can retire after 20 years of active service. Yeah, that's messed up if all Greeks can…"
Scot68 replied to Remko Wagemakers's discussion Relatively new here
"Welcome Remko. I find it odd and interesting that your coworkers ridicule you for being an open athiest. I've never been to Holland, but I imagined people would be more secular there than most are in the US. But you did say most of them have…"
Scot68 replied to Aviance's discussion Well I'm new here.
"Like others said, that's a difficult situation. Depending on your mother's state of health, if you think telling her could literally give her a heart attack, then you would want to be careful about what you tell her. Or if she has some…"
Scot68 replied to Becca's discussion Occupy Wall Street
"I'm glad to see it happening and networking sites reporting it. Finally CNN had an article on it, so just maybe the msm will suddenly discover what's been going on. Kind of like how they suddenly discovered that a revolution was taking…"

Scot68 replied to Torkoal (Gotta catch 'em all)'s discussion Standing up to an asswipe fundy
"True, but basically any fight can inflict serious or lethal damage. He is backing up from you smacking him, slips on some puddle from the showers in the lockers, and cracks the back of his skull open on the sink or toilet or cement floor. Or you get…"

Dr. Terence Meaden said… - Hello Scot68 and welcome to this friendly meeting place with freethinkers who recognise that all gods are fictions and that religions exist to control vulnerable superstitious people including defenceless children. How tragic and inexcusable it is that women and minorities have been oppressed these last two thousand years and longer.
