anglophone comments on Jan 21, 2021:

Not at all. There is no such thing as proof in science so anybody who claims to have proof of God's existence (which god?) is merely flaunting their own ignorance. As @KKGator suggests, all existence claims of all gods must be considered absurd unless and until somebody produces falsifiable evidence to support the existence claim of at least one god.

Are the brains of atheists different to those of religious people? Scientists are trying to find out

anglophone comments on Jan 19, 2021:

I had thought that the answer to your question had been found some years ago. It is that the prefrontal cortex of believers' brains was significantly less neurologially active than the brains of sceptics, and that more recent research had come to the same conclusion. It would seem reasonable from this to call all religious zealots "dumbfucks" (which I often do).

Every theist and every Trump supporter that I have ever encountered I have found to be wanting in this regard.

anglophone comments on Jan 11, 2021:

You touch upon a complex matter in linguistics. English, like every other natural language, changes to serve the changing needs of its speakers. Yes, the Oxford English Dictionary is undoubtedly an icon, but so is Miriam-Webster. Moreover, every lexicographer recognises the limitations that are inherent in all dictionaries. No group is entirely homogeneous. Using what might be regarded as relatively strict interpretations of the words "agnostic" and "atheist", I am atheist about both the God of the Bible and the God or the Torah (I know that neither can exist), and I am agnostic about all other gods (this for the want of both adequate definitions and falsifiable evidence). I am reminded of a splendidly absurd line allegedly spoken to an Englishman in New York: "For a foreigner, you speak pretty good English.", which serves merely to underscore the small mindedness of many in Yankeeland.
