Wow, that was the clearest recap of Matt Smith's arc I've ever read. It only goes to show how much of a genius and precise storyteller Moffat is...

I want to go to there.

"Someday my prince will cum."

I will be taking credit for Prince Eric, whom Kelly and I fought over like his was the last dick on earth. (And by that I mean we disagreed on what his penis looks like.)

"... the same footing as theologians who have been studying theology and philosophy for decades? "

I'd say that the late Douglas Adams was possibly the best advocate Atheism had. He was smart, eloquent, funny and not afraid to discuss his beliefs without being preachy.

I don't think the smugness and criticism of others is a stereotype, I think it's just the nature of Atheism itself because there is no other way to practice Atheism. Atheists don't gather for weekly meetings to reaffirm to themselves their lack of other beliefs, their only expression is in reaction to the religious.

Is every non-belief a belief system? I don't believe there are 8 invisible dragons in the room with me. Does this non-belief require the same standards of evidence as believing the dragons are actually there? Until I disprove the invisible dragons, does it therefore become equally sensible to believe they are in fact

Well, I tend to find (2) to be kind of offensive. What they mean when they say militant and dogmatic is "argumentative, and outspoken".

I can understand why he does it, but I still prefer Carl Sagan's works for not sparing religion as a whole from the skepticism he

It does when the author of the original theory on gluten intolerance is the same person who debunked it later after research studies. Glad you have been paying attention.

"Gluten Friendly"? Do these people speak English? Because that would seem to mean the opposite of what they are trying to suggest.

This has been debunked. You are either celiac or not. Why are we even still even discussing Gluten intolerance?

At least my gluten free bottled water* business plan is safe.

"It's a tough thing," Ryan said, "to believe in a God you don't see."

It sounded interesting right up until the God part. I could not bring myself to play a game about "how can I believe in a loving God when children get cancer and die?". You just answered your own question. As a father of 3, i would like to try a game that deals with the emotions of being a parent and loss, but it

I'm actually a ton of fun at parties!

I agree. I'm not religious at all so it's weird of me to see someone doing such a thing. Look at Steve Jobs and his approach to medicine. Nope. Stick to what works.

How's that faith working for you
