  richard dawkins revealed that he celebrates christmas on radio four's today programme.. here is is quoted as saying: .

  'i am perfectly happy on christmas day to say merry christmas to everybody,' dawkins said.

  'i might sing christmas carols - once i was privileged to be invited to kings college, cambridge, for their christmas carols and loved it.

  SeaBreeze: If you really want to promote natural materialism, all you have to do is come up with plausible explanations for the facts surrounding the resurrection of Jesus.

  Sometimes I wonder if you're just having us on. The 'facts' in that article are all backed only by Bible verses. Which means that none of their claimed facts are corroborated at all. In other words, they're claims, not facts. Do the people writing these articles understand what the word means? I'm not quite sure if they do and are simply trying to decieve people, or if they're so determined to believe in something that they don't realize that they're making things up? Do they understand that when they set the bar so low, they also legitimize the claims made by other religions, including those that have been long abandoned by humanity?

  "we're living in the final part of the last days, undoubtedly the final part of the final part of the last days, shortly before the last day of the last days!!!".

  how are they going to phrase this in ten years time......

  They could always recycle the oldies: "If you are a young person, you must face the fact that you will never grow old in this system of things." "Millions now living will never die." And so on.

  Just a reminder that things are not either/or: my distrust of COVID vaccines does not mean that I believe every nutcase and idiot with a YouTube channel who thinks that the lizard people are trying to wipe out humanity with a flu shot, nor do I trust the gullible dupes who hang on their every word. Convenient skepticism is not skepticism.

  Yes, he has had a rough two years now. I feel bad for him, the way Kim dragged him to Thailand and threw him at those sex workers, that wasn't very nice. But at least she made sure to verify that they were 20 or older, so she's not entirely evil.

  So, I hope you are happy with yourself, Kim.

  And also, happy holidays!

  He also works hard to scrub the YT comments on his videos. It's a relatively minor thing, but it can enforce the sense of a tight-knit community sheltering against its enemies.

  Speaking of relatively minor things, I'm not so sure the Croatian police will make much of an issue of Evans not being home or having the wrong home address for his legal correspondence. That is probably the sort of thing that can be ironed out quickly and painlessly most of the time. If the courts in Croatia are that manic, I don't think they'd be able to get anything done, spending all of their time tracking down deadbeats both real and imaginary.

  And I am sure that they will be sensitive to his concerns over his mental health.

  They may not know how to react. Or as slimboyfat said, they have quietly decided to avoid you from now on. It's not the worst way to do it, as it avoids any unpleasant confrontations, at least online.

  Yep. Keep it short and to the point, so that you don't have to waste time being condescended to. If you're in a position to walk away, it's a lot better IMO. You get to start working on the life you want to live and not the one you are ordered to live.

  And you can always remind them- they are the ones who are turning away from you. You have no restrictions on talking to them or having them in your life. They are the ones following the order to avoid you.

  Did Patreon change the way it tracks support? It's rare for the numbers to change much before month-end, isn't it?

  i was watching a video about wt and money and the "brother" refers to the "spirit directed organization.

  " he also says they use donations wisely and modestly.

  are the gb so deluded and therefore their followers?
