Text of the page (random words):
iments of jean meslier and to start reading l esprit de l atheisme the soul of atheism by andré comte sponville the first book i bought on my own accord and the second was a gift from a friend meslier s book is an interesting impeachment of religion with a dash of anti monarchism a pinch of animal rights and a touch of communism it is probably the first book on atheism a very interesting read although a bit repetitive meslier really wanted to get his message across i will get back to you on my thought of comte sponville s book when i finish it at lunch the very first day i came back to work i got into an enjoyable discussion on some well known topics you can t have morality if you don t have religion hitler was an atheist homeopathy works i already have a previous post on the first one borrowed morality and never have given the second much of a thought although what i read in mein kampf depicts a christian but now i will have to read ian kershaw s books on hitler the third point is defenseless homeopathy has no scientific backing you might enjoy this 2009 article in forbes or this one in the lancet called are the clinical effects of homeopathy placebo effects comparative study of placebo controlled trials of homeopathy and allopathy things got back to speed very soon after vacation time and that is just fine how was your week see you next time p s the hotel had a nice nespresso bar so i was never without my daily dose of caffeine posted in art coffee everyday life the conscious disbeliever why we drink bad coffee i am talking to you starbucks posted on july 23 2013 by sixpointnineme i am a customer of starbucks but i never touch their coffee not even with a ten foot pole i like some of their sandwiches and a few of the cold drinks served there i gave them the benefit of the doubt and tried many of their coffees but for the life of me i cannot like the taste even though they say that the coffee is arabica many times i have encountered a rubbery taste typical of blends that have robusta and the lack of body is appalling coffee we suck at it so badly 53 365 photo credit terence s jones coffee is not just a drink it is a multi sensory experience the very first thing that strikes me is the aroma more so when i grind my coffee beans then comes the sight of that black elixir and the anticipation of taking that very first sip and the explosion of taste as well as that warm comforting sensation it provides as your drink it but not just that coffee also revolves around conversation and ambiance it is not the same to have your coffee on the run in a disposable cup than to drink it in an agreeable environment starbucks provides a nice place to sit down and enjoy your coffee oh if only it was good comfortable with music free wi fi and as in most coffeehouses a sense of community if you want it the business model is great and has been picked up by many other coffee shops some even serve very good coffee maybe as consumers we follow the so called principle of least effort and are more than willing to sacrifice quality to obtain convenience and possibly another is some good neuromarketing it could be our well not mine but brain remembers the pleasant experience and favors it over the taste as social animales we crave a sense of community and this kind of shop offers it to a limited degree some of the people who are part of the coffee house community are young and probably were never exposed to a traditional coffee shop i had the joy of living next to a small coffee roaster so every saturday i would wake to the exquisite smell of freshly roasted coffee one of the chimneys was just next to my window and of course run next door for my fresh cup of joe i guess that if they get them while they are young they won t know better well as taste is so individual and subjective maybe i am only being a coffee snob or as some say being more papist than the pope but i just can t help it what is your take on this see you next time posted

by sixpointnineme a recent poll by yougov the sun survey results has reported results that give hope for the future the poll was taken from june the 14th to the 19th and involved young adults aged 18 to 24 the questions related to their feelings about the future jobs relationships buying a home etc the poll demonstrated contrary to popular belief that parents have a great deal of influence upon this group much more than politicians celebrities and a great deal more than religious leaders what was most striking were the results of the questions related to religion according to the results 56 of this age group have no religion only 25 believe in a god and 19 believe in a spiritual greater power that means that 56 of young adults are non believers a big difference when compared to the 2011 census atheists accounted for 38 and agnostics 18 which is higher than earlier reports i have commented before click on graph to enlarge for a link to the complete survey click here see you next time

william k l dickson photo credit wikipedia when somebody sneezes most people respond in an automatic fashion with a bless you gesundheit or something along those lines the person who sneezes does not say anything immediately after sneezing as a noisy bodily function you could expect the person who sneezes to say excuse me as when one burps but no we have made this response to a sneeze a part of everyday etiquette and do not pause to ask ourselves why we do it where does this come from the response to sternutation has its origins in superstition long before germ theory it was thought that our life was intimately connected to our breath so when one sneezed there was an increased risk of death in other stories it was believed that the act of sneezing expelled a demon from the person s body and the phrase bless you was said in an attempt to avoid the demon from reentering the person who had just exorcised himself through the power of the sternutation some believed that heart stopped when sneezing or that your eyes could pop out pope gregory the great during the 6th century ordered prayer for those suffering from the plague and a god bless you for those that sneezed as a wish that they would not fall to the plague and from this we acquired the custom this habit is so ingrained in society that even though we know it serves no purpose and is rooted in ancient superstition i find myself saying gesundheit or an equivalent well sometimes i can fight it back and remain silent all over the world there are responses to sneezing that relate to blessings or to health i think that the person who sneezes should excuse themselves just as they do after a burp sneezing is a bodily function that most times serves the purpose of expelling a foreign particle that irritates the nasal mucosa other times it can be the manifestation of an infection such as the flu or cases like photic sneezing sun sneezing just the expression of a higher sensitivity to visual stimuli or rarer situations like snatiation or even sneezing due to sexual ideation or orgasm take a look at this great post by dr mark griffiths called sneezy does it sex sneezing and sneezing fetishes what one should really do is face away from other people and sneeze into a handkerchief o tissue paper if this is not available then into the pit of your elbow to avoid possible transmission of disease and in my profession sometimes i have to sneeze into a mask causing worry as what should be done it is said that i should just sneeze into the mask facing the wound and in light of this article it seems the proper thing to do some will think that wanting to change this bit of everyday etiquette is of no use and is an intrusion into other people s customs but this custom has no use no reason to be i don t see many people throwing spilt salt over their left shoulder anymore and like that custom saying bless you or gesundheit to a person who sneezes is just acting upon superstition see you next time

isa 57 17 59 9 1qisa b photo credit wikipedia the road to non belief is not straightforward it is in most cases a slow journey it is the lowly drop of water and not the majestic wave that slowly erodes the stone and in this way our belief in the supernatural is whittled down until one day we realize that what was once incontrovertible now is an argument that holds no water it seems to me that although non belief is the result of a long list of things that make us question the validity of that which we hold true many times there is a first question a first doubt in my case i think that the first question was something that i would later learn is called the problem of evil when i was a kid i would always think that nobody could ever go to hell because god being an all knowing all caring and all powerful being would not allow it how could he he knew everything before it happened he loved everybody so he did not wish bad things to happen and of course he could do anything he could do anything and did everything so where did bad things come from what you mean god created evil no way well yes way __________________________________________________________________ i form the light and create darkness i make peace and create evil i am the lord that doeth all these things jewish publication society bible yisheyah book of isaiah chapter 45 __________________________________________________________________ i form the light and create darkness i make peace and create evil i the lord do all these things isaiah 45 7 king james bible authorized version pure cambridge edition __________________________________________________________________ evil exists and god created it how can that be well this leads us into the problem of evil the existence of evil is a contradiction in logical terms to a god that is omniscient benevolent and omnipotent god exists god is omnipotent omniscient and perfectly good a perfectly good being would want to prevent all evils an omniscient being knows every way in which evils can come into existence an omnipotent being who knows every way in which an evil can come into existence has the power to prevent that evil from coming into existence a being who knows every way in which an evil can come into existence who is able to prevent that evil from coming into existence and who wants to do so would prevent the existence of that evil if there exists an omnipotent omniscient and perfectly good being then no evil exists evil exists logical contradiction so following that logic god is a logical contradiction and of course we also have the problem of hell but that is another question there are many defences and theodicies that theists use to get around this problem one way that they defend this problem is through the free will argument it is a very good thing that god has created persons with free will god cannot eliminate evil because in doing so he would remove the possibility of free will and making correct moral choices ok we have free will and can choose good or evil we are imperfect and at least one time if not many we will choose wrong god being perfect and endowed with omniscience knows this before we do it in fact even before we come into existence or maybe he cannot know this but that would strip him of omniscience of course this would resolve the problem of evil but would render god imperfect and talking of free will the concept of free will beyond the constraints of the physical universe is childish downright stupid free will must be understood within the constraints of a physical universe as we are physical beings to think that we could have absolute free will would make us supernatural would make us in fact gods the matter at question is do we have the ability to make free choices within the constraints of a physical universe that is the true question of free will we do not have conscious free will as has been stated elsewhere and that seems to destroy the free will theodicy but we are agents capable of decisions albeit these decisions are made in a subconscious manner and i never even got to the question of natural evil that is a whole new ball game so what got you started what flipped your switch portrait of epicurus founder of the epicurean school roman copy after a lost hellenistic original photo credit wikipedia is god willing to prevent evil but not able then he is not omnipotent is he able but not willing then he is malevolent is he both able and willing then whence cometh evil is he neither able nor willing then
