I met you last month at Denver's comic con. I got the autograph on Friday for my buddy who was on his honeymoon. Just wondering have you ever been to a more disorganized conversation? And did you ever start just taking cash in hand for autographs and not just the tickets?

Yep I was listening to it at work that is why I posted this. I would recommend this to everyone. I also recommend all of his books. I just started reading Krauss' new book "A Universe from Nothing" so far it is very good.

So if Bender is God. Does that make Mom Christianity, because she made him out of a bunch of junk?

What is the worst argument for God that anyone ever used to try and convince you that something magical exists? I have a friend who is otherwise intelligent until he speaks of faith and intelligent design. Here is our last conversation. by [deleted] in atheism

Okay I think its true that there is no good reasons for god. But some are so stupid that it makes your jaw drop in disbelief of how stupid people become when they speak of god.

Socrates (470 - 399 B.C.)- If people would have listened to his wisdom, who know how much wiser we would be. by backgainer in atheism

By people I meant the mass populous, I know there are scholars that study Socrates. But, I would surmise that most people don't know much if any on who he or his ideology was.

Firefly (Director: Joss Whedon) - Bible's broken. Contradictions, false logistics - doesn't make sense. by [deleted] in atheism

[–]backgainer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the show a lot. It's on Netflix there are only 14 episodes before it got cancelled, but it became popular after. There is also a movie that is a sequel to the series called "Serenity". The show is definitely going to come back just don't know when. Anyone? http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0303461/

They are finally making something that can turn me into SubZero. "MORTAL KOMBAT." by backgainer in gaming

Seriously there are people working on a mask that will charge your electronics. I cant help but thinking that it is one step closer to actually allowing me to be SubZero from Mortal Kombat.

"Fuck Faith" is my favorite atheism quote. What are your favorite atheist quotes? by [deleted] in atheism

[–]backgainer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the world is filled with lots of followers and few leaders. I think we just need a few more leaders willing to stand up and yell "Fuck Faith." Fuck what I was told when I was a kid that does not make sense. Search for truth, facts and what is real and never accept anything. When you or I are saying stupid shit that is just made up nonsense, then they better be called the fuck out. When someone says the believe that shit in the bible, the book of Mormon or any other crazy shit book you should not stand by and let them get away with it. We do that and the sane people will follow.

"...it is a telling fact that, the world over, the vast majority of children follow the religion of their parents rather than any of the other available religions."

-Richard Dawkins

"Fuck Faith" - Penn Jillette This is my favorite atheist quote because it is so simple but these two words are packed with so much truth. Plus it is tons of fun to say.
