I have *literally* read people say "Thank God I'm an atheist!" (and they seemingly had no sense of irony when they wrote this)
Hey, MP: did YOU see this? (Hat-tip, Episcopal Cafe) [Esp. this bit: Clear differences emerged between the groups: the life-long atheists showed the strongest bias for the big picture, followed by the Liberal Calvinists, and then the Conservative Calvinists and the former Conservative Calvinists turned atheist. The latter two groups performed similarly suggesting that more than seven years without religious practice wasn't enough to remove the effects of the religion on a person's attentional mindset.]
Is Dickie a "Conservative-Calvinist-turned-atheist"? (Sure seems like it)

So, they are saying that one can regain your theological virginity?
Are you sure it wasn't Dickie Dawkins' keyboard?
ReplyDeleteYes. It's the "G," the "O" and the "D" buttons that are broken on Dicky's keyboard. Which is a bit strange for somebody who insists God doesn't exist.

ReplyDeleteSurprising how often one must invoke the name of a nonexistent being to continually decree the being does not exist.

Calvinism and Darwinism have many similarities. Especially when it comes to matters such as free will versus predestination.

How....odd.
I have an atheist seminary professor who likes to say "Thank God for tenure!"
