I know nothing about Miss Vicary, but I know something about the proclivities of the militant faith that calls itself atheism. They posture and rave as if the theists of the world were utterly determined to force belief on them.

Hot flash to Miss Vicary: We don't demand that you believe as we do. Christians are aware that we can't prove the existence of God, nor that Christ was divine. That's why our convictions are called a faith, not mathematics or science. We acknowledge your right to freedom of conscience and would appreciate it if you would acknowledge ours...without insisting that we must be "idiots."

If Miss Vicary can prove, rigorously and with full respect for the definitions and processes involved, that God does not and cannot exist, I'll adopt her creed. But that, of course, would require that she treat a believer as a thinking human being capable of respecting evidence and logic. Even if he's a mere Catholic with a doctorate in physics and an international reputation in real-time software engineering.

The one objective data point of interest in this matter is that as an aggregate, American theists are generally happier than American atheists. We have stronger marriages (i.e., we divorce less frequently) and larger families. We're also more community-oriented: we do less complaining and more helping. And -- specifically with regard to the militant atheists -- we're less of an irritant to those around us.

(What's that you say? Atheist women are "easier?" Perhaps...for certain values of "easy." But anyone who thinks that's a plus has never raised a daughter.)

I've noticed you've seem to have drifted away from using the Wahrheit moniker. Am I deluded, or is this an intentional shift?

2009-11-06T11:09:46.222-08:00

@Anon--100 million or more people were killed in the 20th century by collectivist governments, specifically and avowedly atheistic. They didn't need a book. The results speak for themselves. Religiously motivated killing over the last 3,000 years is a drop in the bucket by comparison.

@LEP--I am proud that I now have at least two quotes there. Perhaps Chris should change his handle to ChargingKing Pawn since he opens that way.

@Chris--Yes, let's have battles of ideas. Dogma belongs to theology, not politics. By the way, I see that Rick Arteaga held you off in double overtime for the Reno CC Class C Ch. We want a full report!

@Wang--just wait until you read my upcoming article comparing the USA today and Republican Spain and Republican France circa 1936. your last three paragraphs are so spot on! Respect for those who we disagree with is a requirement of "civil society."

Thanks much for the comments all!

2009-11-06T04:10:29.826-08:00

Wow brother you have definitely opened a can of worms here. I now have to go to Vicary's blog and check out what all the hullabaloo is about.

I will try to use churtful in a sentence 3 times to make the word my own.

Now on to the conservative bashing.

E. Vicary is from NYC I believe, this is a very liberal town, I know, I grew up there. Unfortunately for conservatives the mouthpieces of the party are not doing it any favors right now.

Certain folks on radio who have a penchant for yelling and brandishing a lot of labels do little to elevate the political debate. Liberals, while somewhat more civil can be damned condescending. Bottom line these are the exact kind of stereotypes that the other side feeds on.

Add to that a rather confusing 8 years of the past administration and yes, people let their emotions get the better of them.

The problem is that all of this emotion clouds logical thinking and now both sides use labels, and fear, but mostly fear to rile their base up. The end result? We all become dumber for the process.

Sad news to everyone out there. President George W. Bush didn't hate America, he wasn't actually a buffoon, and President Obama is not a Nazi or a Socialist or the Joker. (and for the record fascism and communism are pretty much mutually exclusive, sheesh)

These men might have had different ideas for the country than you did, but they aren't evil incarnate.

Oh and by the way, for the love of GOD, when you refer to a president of the United States (past or present) YOU SAY OR TYPE "President so and so". This is called respect and it should be shown to whomever the commander in chief is period! Yes even if you don't like him/her.

Hey Robert,

I, like you, saw how ridiculous Lizzy's so-called sci data was and I am really sick of everyobdy letting dogmatic ideology overide there sense of logic.

I love a good debate but not when it is strawman attacks on people that disagree.

Attack an idea, not the person's intellect.

We were trying to be diplomatic in avoiding pointing out "churtful", but since you seem to be so proud of it...you've made the quotation rotation! (for better or worse.)

In my humble chessic opinion, no one should be calling themselves "Charging King" unless they open with 1. e4 2. Ke2 3. Kf3 as White.

2009-11-05T17:02:46.605-08:00

Nobody has ever killed anybody else in the name of atheist or because they believe atheist doctrine tells them that it's the correct thing to do. That's because atheism has no book telling them who should be killed and for what reason.

Your mention of the amount of sex theists have just points to hypocrisy not to core dogma.

Robert,

How about a title like "Chess babes in one on one action". See, that sounds absolutely filthy! Then you can have a picture of Anna playing against Irina. Or how about "Hot chess babes in group action" Even filthier! Then a picture of the tournament hall with all the women at their games.

Misleading and creepy??? Yup, an absolute monster of a hit generator, you betcha!

I really like these kind of posts. Not only do you link to me, but I discover new blogs and content that I otherwise would have passed over or never known about.

I've got so many blogs and chess blogs in my reader, most of the time I just read the headlines and move on. But it's nice to have someone filter out the crap and focus on cool.

Thanks!

Hey there!

Shelfari looks cool! Do you like it! (I can be a book geek sometimes.)

Are you reading Atlas Shrugged right now? I read it and The Fountain Head 10 years ago. Lots of interesting things to talk about in those books.

I am currently going through Keres' first games collection book!
