| What snapcap is trying to say is that the absence of belief in string theory requires one to believe in loop quantum gravity theory. It is impossible to suspend belief in both theories because there is no empirical evidence as of yet, or because you're not sufficiently educated in theoretical parti... |

From what I've gathered you get about 1/1000 the smoke that a smoker does. Not really anything to freak out about. |

I started out Christian, turned agnostic, then veered to Deism. And I've been here for a few years now. It's comfortable enough. |

| People generally want people to believe what they believe. Some people are mature enough to ignore that desire. Some people can't handle it and become militant about their beliefs. These people sometimes end up speaking for their beliefs and make their side look like as*holes. And every side has the... |

| I am not saying that you are stupid or evil for believing in your god. I am just saying that if your god exists and the tellings of the bible are true, then he must be quite a Dick. That's why I think Jim Gaffigan's joke about being Catholic meaning that you don't have to read the bible holds so mu... |

| It doesn't matter if they think they don't have a position, because they do. They can believe that they don't, but that doesn't make it so. I could ask an atheist, theist, agnostic, or gnostic why they have their position, and guess what? That's their belief! Why do you hold your position regarding... |

| Atheists ARE "open skeptics". Not really. I would say agnostics are. Atheists, despite what they may claim, usually are NOT open to the possibility of anything supernatural. They are die-hard physicalists. If someone asks whether there are any fairies in your garden, do you say, 'I do not know, and... |

If you want to smoke in your house, apartment, yard, or balcony then fine, but I should not be obliged to inhale carcinogens when I'm waiting at the bus stop.

| I also disagree with a smoking ban. It doesn't help that the anti smoking interests groups manipulate any study they fund to their favor. Maybe a valid one exists, but it's difficult to trust these groups when they pull crap like that. |
