Any weapons enthusiasts here?

by Wonderment in

i knew i had a couple of firearms around the house, and one in the car.

however, i didn't realize i had seven, yes, seven of them, when i proceeded to count them.

the reason for that is that i haven't gone to the shooting range in years.

All of my firearms are locked up in a secured, locked, cabinet, along with the ammo. The only exception is my carry piece, which either a.) in my jacket or b.) in my briefcase.

'My carry piece' - FFS - you really do have the society you deserve,

Some years ago, the late Beatle George Harrison confronted an intruder. As he was beaten, his wife was trying to fend off her husband's assailant, but was not faring well. Harrison then began doing one of the only things he legally could do in the U.K. to defend himself. He began yelling, "Hare Krishna!" He was badly beaten and the interior fled.

Hence the reason violent deaths are so much more common in the UK,

Oh ....

This thread is for proof that God exists

however, i haven't found any evidence to support that belief.. have you?

if so please, show me the evidence that god exists, and i will believe along with you.. criteria:.

(1) you must specify which god you are talking about;.

Landy

Exactly, with rational arguments all we have available is evidence based reasoning. Creationists can't do that so arguing is pointless when you have no common ground whatsoever.

It's like when tne JWs come to my door and start quoting from the bible and I go to my daughter's bookcase and fetch Barrie's Peter Pan to prove the existence of Wendy,

Why Faith is Self-Defeating

by cofty in

the god of christian theism values faith.. "without faith it is impossible to please god, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists" - heb.11.

faith and evidence are inversely proportional - the more evidence there is that god exists the less faith you need in that proposition and vice-versa.. so how can a christian criticise any other faith-based belief?

for example they can protest that all the evidence is against the claims of scientology, but that just means that scientologists require more faith than christians.

Landy

I know that. You know that ...

Outlaw - I Think There's Something Wrong With Your Keyboard.

As regards this thread it just goes to show you can't argue with creationists.

After the latest US school shoorting I think some NRA idiot actually suggested that all schoolchildren be armed. Priceless.

Chelmsford is an Asbestos Dump

by Slidin Fast in

the dubsters in the uk are being taken for such a ride.. on one side they have prime land and property to sell in north london worth many millions of uk pounds.. on the other they have bought a contaminated site used for years of illegal dumping.

one of the main contaminants is asbestos.

it will take volunteer labour months simply to remove the toxic material.

Young idealistic people are handling this work at their own expense, wonderful!

What Cofty said. If you have evidence that this is true (you do have evidence, don't you?) then you need to inform HSE asap.

Who am I to dispprove of your choice? It could well be that you really do have "Doormat" tattoed on your forehead. This is your fate.

Harsh. But fair!

Evolution is a Fact #27 - Monkeys, Typewriters, Shakespeare, 747s etc.

by cofty in

most creationist arguments can be summarised as "complexity, complexity, complexity - therefore god".

we have all heard the illustrations about the odds of (insert favourite example) evolving, being less than 10,000 monkeys typing macbeth by pure chance.

evolution is not like that.

Landy

Landy, yes that argument is used by creationists but that does not mean it proves creation.

Sorry - I was referring to Fukitol's mini rant :D

Yes, I know irreducible complexity would be a reason to rethink evolution, but nothing of that nature has been discovered as yet. If it was, or even the hint if it, the creationists would be shouting it from the rooftops.

And here's the thing. If ever it was then the scientific establishment would learn from it and redefine the theory. That's the beauty of science - it's evidence driven.

You couldn't see religious fundamentalism doing that.
