Russell Brand, on point, yet again.

I don't get how anyone can dislike this man.

"shaft-grasper" BWHAHAHAHAHAHA


Ok, Russell Brand is slowly winning me over to his side...

Seems like Mika and her posse expected this interview to be some run-of-the-mill puff piece, where the English serial shagger would dance for them, maybe even sing a pretty song. Russell sure made 'em look the fools and Mika even thanked him for it.

20 bucks says she had to change her panties afterwards.

Ah Glenn Robbins you funny bastard. While Russel Coight had its moments, he wasn't anywhere near as funny as Uncle Arthur - which I still think is one of the funniest characters/skits an Aussie comedian has ever done.

"Feminism is a collection of movements and ideologies aimed at defining, establishing, and defending equal political, economic, and social rights for women."

Seems pretty fair to me.

I think you made some good arguments earlier in the thread, but saying that "feminism is the concept of female supremacy" is just too broad a generalisation. Are there some elements that believe that? Of course.

And there are some women who hold ridiculous (elevatorgate) or hypocritical (pycon) positions.

But there are also some atheists who have done some pretty bad things (Stalin, Mao), but their views are not representative of atheism as a whole.

I know plenty of feminists (IMHO, it's kinda hard to meet an intelligent woman who isn't a feminist) and none of them espouse that kind of belief.

Personally, my favourite definition of feminism comes from a NZ blog:

"I couldn't help wondering though for a while afterwards what I should make of all this, you know, as a feminist? My conclusion is that feminism is essentially about women having choices and if your choice is to fling your undies at someone famous, I guess I'm allowed to be a bit embarrassed for you but also pleased that you won't be flogged by your father or brother for it."

Regarding Russels Teapot, I feel it is an invalid argument because a teapot orbiting mars has no explanatory value. To ask whether the Universe was intelligently caused is a rational question, and Russels Teapot provides no answer to it; it explains precisely nothing. The idea of God however has explanatory value, and does provide an answer to the question. This is (one of)the difference(s) between the idea of God and the teapot.

Let me ask you this..do you understand what the scripture says about faith? I think we can both agree that we should have no expectation of arriving in New York by following the directions to Los Angeles. In the same way we should have no expectation of coming to know Jesus personally outside of the directions given in scripture. I want to tell you that the directions you are following will never lead you to know Jesus, so please allow me to open up the scripture to you:

Ephesians 2:8 For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God

Faith is a gift from God. You will never come to believe that Jesus is the Christ (Messiah) by your own effort, because you cannot generate the faith to believe it. The question then becomes, how do you receive the gift of faith?

Romans 10:17 So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of God.

The word of God gives you the ability to hear Jesus, and through hearing believe:

Revelation 3:20 Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and eat with him, and he with me.

Jesus is knocking at your door all the time, but you do not hear Him. The word of God will give you that ability, but what should you read?

John 20:31 but these are written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name.

The gospel of John is written specifically so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ. You may have read it before as a former Christian, but you may not have realized that without the Spirit of God you cannot grasp it:

1 Corinthians 2:14 The natural person does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are folly to him, and he is not able to understand them because they are spiritually discerned.

Therefore you must ask for help, which will take a ration of humility. Since you are an honest skeptic who will investigate, and you do not know whether God answers prayers, here is a possible clue to knowledge:

Pray to God:

I do not know if you are there or not, or whether Jesus is your Son, but if you are there I want to know the truth. Please help me understand the scripture I am about to read and show me what is true. If you will do this, I promise to follow the truth where ever it leads.

Then read through the gospel of John, and read it slowly and carefully, coming to an understanding of what is being said before you move on. Before each reading, simply ask God to help you understand it. If you will do this you will discover that Jesus is the Christ and come to know Him personally. God bless.

The point you appear to be making, shinyblurry, is that science/Atheism (which are not the same thing but I see where you're coming from) refuses to consider theological arguments.

I have. I was technically a Christian, when I was too young to make up my own mind. Over nearly 10 years I went from believing every word of the Bible, through doubting more and more of it until realising that I no longer believed at all, that it was of moderate historical value only. I was no longer Christian. During this process, I considered theological arguments and found them all wanting.

I continue to read and consider such matters and I've continued to find the non-theological explanations for events and trends to be massively more convincing.

I think this is the same for most people with similar beliefs - these arguments have been considered and have been found unconvincing. The reason I am reluctant to engage in discussion is because the discussion has been had; nothing has changed since. The discussions become the same circular logic that contributed to me losing my faith in Christianity. The same discussions as have been happening for hundreds of years.

I'm perfectly prepared to consider the topic and reconsider how I think the world works, my world view if you like. If there was anything to discuss, I'd be happy to do so. But there's nothing to discuss because your arguments have been made many times by many people over many centuries and they're pretty much talked out. I have listened, I have discussed and I have considered. And I disagree.

I'm not Atheist because I am 100% certain that there can no be a God in any way. I am Atheist because of Russel's teapot. I've found no evidence and no argument which is even slightly convincing for any religion.

She reminds me of Rosalynd Russell as Auntie Mame-You know she's gonna be the most fun when she's pushing 70 and sill going strong...

First off, the treadmill is healthy for the dog, and burns off energy, making the easier to control let alone giving him "something to do". Some people just don't have the time to exercise their dog for the hour or so every day like every dog NEEDS to, no matter what the breed. You have 7 acres of squirrels? Good for you! There's a lot of people who live in condos and apartments where taking the dog for a walk is more dangerous to this dog AND handler than this pit probably is to anyone else.

Your statistics aren't complete...

There are more "vicious" attacks on people by Shepherds worldwide then there are actual pitbull dogs. THAT'S a statistic too.

Dogs can be looked at like guns.

Chihuahua = Ether gas BB gun
Jack Russell = .22 target pistol
Shepherd = .308 bolt action hunting rifle
Pitbull - AK47

If the gun is taken care of, and used properly, it won't suddenly take off and kill a seeing eye dog any more than a properly cared for pitbull.

But he looks just like Jesus...he's now my new lord. Praise Russell Brand, Yeah Man!! Yeah Man!!
