I just saw a video over on Matt Dillahunty’s channel, which I’ll link to below, about a new “secular religion” called Mystrikism. He went through some of the stuff on their website, which I’ll also link to below, but I had a lot more to say on the subject.
So here I go. Continue reading Mystrikism is STUPID!
This is one of those things that you just shake your head at and find it hard to believe that it just happened but it did. I stumbled into this thing in the middle, so I don’t know how it started, but over on Reddit, there was a discussion going on about determinism and free will and I asked the self-identified hard determinist a question.
You’re not going to believe what he said. Continue reading Just Had One of the Dumbest Discussions
I just had this bizarre conversation with a theist who simply couldn’t deal with reality. That’s a common problem, I know, but this guy (or gal, no clue) really illustrates why the religious have so many problems. They simply cannot handle reality as it actually is. They have to invent nonsense to comfort their childish feelings.
That’s absolutely pathetic. Continue reading You’re Not Special!
This is why I object to him the second he walks into social issues because he has every bit as much faith as a theist in the issues that he embraces. But first, let’s link to the video and then we’ll talk more. Continue reading The Failure Never Ends
As I’ve gotten older, I’ve lost all respect for bullshit. I don’t put up with it anymore. I’ve got more important things to do. Nowhere is this more true than in discussions online, where people will just throw crap at the wall and hope it sticks and when it doesn’t, they just make excuses.
I’ve got no interest in your excuses. I care about your evidence. Put up or shut up. I’m not going to try to educate you. If you’re that dumb, go away. I have zero interest in engaging with idiots. Continue reading No Time for Bullshit

I had a discussion with someone on Reddit about epistemology and it didn’t go well. That got me to thinking about things and I was going to make a video, but then I caught a Rationality Rules video scroll by and even though I don’t subscribe to him anymore, I watched it anyhow, since it was fortuitously timed, and figured I’d do it here.
So here goes. Continue reading What’s My Epistemology?
I have had more than one conversation about this recently and this is kind of a “why I really dislike a lot of philosophers” thing. They are looking for things that just aren’t real. It comes off a lot like religion, which I think is a very similar mindset.
When you’re talking about the real world, I care only about the “HOW” of things. How did things happen? What processes came about to make the thing that happened possible? They only care about the “WHY?” The supposed larger “reason” behind it all.
What if there is no reason though? That’s where it all breaks down. Continue reading I Don’t Care About the “WHY”!
I have no idea why people have such a hard time dealing with reality, but apparently, a lot of people do. Me, I just look at it and say “okay… that’s real” and move on. How could I do any different?
But lots of people have problems just dealing with the world that they live in and I find that incredibly sad. So here’s why it’s such a problem and why it really shouldn’t be. Continue reading Dealing With Reality
I was thinking about making a video on this, who knows, I still might, but I wound up having a discussion on free will and I spent the whole time rolling my eyes. I have no idea what the true position of the free will denier was, he was kind of vague about the whole thing, but he kept saying that we couldn’t have free will because… reasons.
It all kind of fell apart from there. Continue reading The Foolishness of Free Will Discussions
I’ve been having a lot of conversations lately on this, and today, Godless Engineer put up a video, where in the thumbnail, it says “This Caller is Obviously Morally Bankrupt!”
Yeah, that’s not how morality works. So once again, we’re going to delve into this and the absurd notions that far too many people have on morality.
There is no “RIGHT MORALITY!” It just doesn’t exist! Continue reading There IS NO RIGHT MORALITY!
