Home of Ban Dihydrogen Monoxide and so, so much more. Lots of good Lateral thinking essays and science explainations.

Nothing bugs a bible junkie like a never ending stream of biblical errors and contradictions. The above link is what I use as reference when a topic turns to "does God exist".
Keep in mind that this is a public forum, and mindless bashing of other people's beliefs is about an order of magnitude stupider than mindless bible thumping. The moral of the story, of course, is DON'T BE STUPID.

Iceberg, here's a snippet from this board's forum index:
"Science and Logic
Are the snake-oil salesmen, creationists, or fanboy pseudoscientists getting on your nerves? Sound off here!"
You might say that one of the purposes of this forum is to allow users to bash other peoples beliefs.
And you may ask yourself, 'Where does that highway go to?'

In which case, this forum will quite rapidly degenerate into a steaming pile of pure, unadulterated suck, like any other flame board.

No "maybe" about it. Unrestricted flame boards accomplish nothing but sucking loudly.

STUPID beliefs though, and those that they try to hold above reason.
So it's okay to make fun of the beliefs of Falwell and Robertson, but not your everyday religious guy like Mark. Doing the latter earns you this:

American Conservatism is about the exercise of personal responsibility without state interference in the lives of the citizenry..... unless, of course, it involves using the bludgeon of state power to suppress things Conservatives do not like.

I of course recognize that making fun of good people will result in Hadokens, Missile Dokens, and various other destructive assaults, but to be fair, nobody has been making fun of any reasonable people or beliefs...just posting URLs that recognize the non-literal status of the Bible.

Well, since Objectivism falls somewhere close to Scientology for unprovable assertions ("Virtue of selfishness" anybody?), you're one to talk...

How did I just KNOW somebody was going to bring that up sooner or later.
Look, let's just say that the SAB's author uses some extremely questionable exegesis and leave it at that.
